Podcast appearances and mentions of dave herndon

Somewhere between Mexico and Cuba, sat down with the world's longest living country punk rocker, Jon Langford of The Mekons, Waco Brothers and Skull Orchard,  and our dear friend, Dave Herndon, communications director for the City of Santa Fe, NM and did a little reminiscing. We were aboard the Outlaw Country Cruise 6, an amazing 6 day adventure featuring, not only Jon's bands, but Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell and Emmy Lou Harris. It was six days of fun and frolicking with unbelievable live music at all hours of the day and night, as well as food, drinks, sun and fun (none of us braved the hot tubs, but they were available). Join us as we retell some great times at Brew's-- which was a bit of a sleeper cell of the NYC alt-country music scene in the '90s-- as well as London and Leeds in the late '70s, Austin TX in the '00s and a few random tales of foolishness and fun from elsewhere.

What Has My Attention podcast https://www.whathasmyattention.com/17  You're probably wondering what sandtray has to do with podcasting. Simply put, it’s had my attention for a very long time. And since this podcast is about what has my attention, well there you go. But it was being on Kim Shea’s Pivot and Thrive Podcast episode 16 titled “John Biethan and Stephanie Murphy: An Extraordinary Couple Builds Their Future Together” where in the conversation my partner Stephanie talked about Sandtray. Kim gave me permission to use a portion of her episode to drop in here so you could know what Sandtray is and how as an Art Therapist, Stephanie uses it in her practice. Thank you Kim I appreciate it! And a note: There is a difference between Sandplay and Sandtray. “In Sandplay, the therapist does not intervene with the client once the tray is created. Instead, the therapist keeps the focus on the unconscious of the client. By contrast, the humanistic sandtray therapist is actively involved in facilitating an experience of awareness and growth.” ~ Sandtray Therapy institute https://bit.ly/3wfim4C. So Sandtray is a tool that allows a therapist to help their client tell a story. So if you really think about it, the best podcasts you hear are telling stories. That’s why the length of a podcast doesn’t matter. It’s the content and the storytelling that matters. For what follows about Sandtray, I've kept Kim's introduction to Stephanie and myself and then ask Stephanie the question of what is Sandtray. Lastly, I want to again thank Kim Shea and of course Stephanie. And there are three others I want to thank. Dave Herndon who taught me the value of first writing an outline before telling your story. He can be heard on episode 6 titled “Dave Herndon: How to Tell Your Story.” Peggy Lebo, our True Voice Method voice coach at ImaginePodcasting.com who guided me through her method which, has given me more confidence and brought out a voice to better express myself. And writing my solo episodes would have not been possible without the coaching from Kent Sanders at DailyWriterLife.com. I discovered Kents Daily Writer Podcast months ago and jumped into his Daily Writer Coaching program. So what’s Sandtray got to do with podcasting? Storytelling. If you’re doing solo episodes and want to clarify your thoughts, visit Kent’s links and his podcast. We have an upcoming episode with Kent in the upcoming weeks. And I’ve scheduled some time with Barry Berman on the topic of Leadership. Barry’s business is Integritas Consulting https://www.integritasconsult.com/ and we’ll be talking about “integrity.”  Until next time, consider what has your attention and is valuable, and let go of the rest. Thanks for listening. You can always get a hold of me at What Has My Attention. You can even leave me a voice message there. There's a little blue button you can tap on to leave feedback or ask a question. If you want to find out more about why we're hired by people that keep putting off starting their podcast because it seems so complicated and expensive, and what they really want is to get their brand and message out there in a bigger way, head over to ImaginePodcasting.com and schedule a free call with me. I’m happy to help. Useful Links and Notes about Episode -Who started Sandplay? Dora Kalff -Sandplay Therapy https://bit.ly/3eVUCvP -What is the difference between sandtray and sandplay therapy?

I’m John Biethan your host for this podcast, What Has My Attention. I’m also the President of Heard Not Seen Media thus, the reference to “President” in the title of this episode. As you might guess, this show is literally about what has my attention, whether that’s about podcasting or something else that caught my attention and which I’ve put some thought into. So I haven’t put out an episode for about a month and want to give you an idea about where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing, and where this is all going. Although I’ve been producing podcasts since 2005, it wasn’t until July 2020 when I got serious about going beyond this one-person entity building a creative podcast production company. Heard Not Seen Media, Inc. was born and we started work on the dba ImaginePodcasting.com the front face to the business. We have several different podcast startup packages to fit the needs of a business that wants to get started podcasting. One of our services found in our MACH 3 package is a “brand discovery” process, which creates a foundation on which every other element or aspect of the podcast is built on. With this “foundation,” everything else just falls into place. So when I decided to get committed to THIS podcast, it only made sense to go through the process with some of the team, our Creative Director and Brand Storyteller Sam De Santo, and our Graphics Brand Designer Meg McCarley. So in the next few weeks, I’ll be giving you a glimpse of what that experience is like. On a side note, I’ve decided to spend some time working on my writing skills. I’ve never really enjoyed writing but, lately, it’s had my attention and I want to develop the skill necessary to communicate better in the written form. You see, in 2004 when I discovered podcasting, part of my attraction to it was that it was called “audio blogging” even before the name podcasting stuck. So here’s a quote from Nikki Giovanni that got my attention. “Writing is a conversation with reading; a dialogue with thinking.” Think about that for a minute, do a little writing and see if that’s what you experience. So briefly back to the brand discovery for What Has My Attention. With encouragement from the team, this podcast will be about what has my attention, which will be shared with you if I think it deserves your attention. So that’s it for today. If you’d like to find out more about how to tell your story, take a listen to Dave Herndon who’s on our team in Ep. 6 Dave Herndon: How to Tell Your Story, and read the program notes for the episode where you’ll find links you may find useful. One last thing. On this day January 21, 2021, and still in the pandemic, and with the new strain of the virus that scientists are saying is about 50% more transmutable, I’ve ordered a package of the K94 4-layer face masks from Amazon. These masks are recommended when you can’t find the gold-standard N95 ones. In upcoming episodes, we’ll also be having conversations with our team members where they’ll share their expertise. Until next time, what has your attention? It’s important to know. This episode was recorded using a Samson Q2U which I recommend for budget-minded people wanting to start their podcast. And it was recorded on a Rodecaster Pro, edited in Adobe Audition, and finally, run through Auphonic for final mastering and creation of the MP3 published to our media server on Libsyn’s platform. If you’re starting out, we recommend using Libsyn as your media server. You can receive 30-days of free hosting when you use the coupon code “whathas” at check-out. WHAT has YOUR attention?

Virtually every product or service travels through a supply chain that has a myriad of moving parts and plenty of expense and risk involved. I spoke with Jane Tierney, a consultant who helps companies save money, gain efficiencies, and mitigate risk. Our conversation touched on the key aspects of her universally applicable specialty. Here are some key takeaways that might be relevant to just about any business: Transportation and logistics are an obvious aspect of physical supply chains, whether by air, rail, ship or through pipelines. Other operations that stand to benefit from tight supply chain management include purchasing, production, sales, and operations.  Think also of the internet as a logistical vehicle for moving information from place to place, and exchanging money for all the goods and services that move that way:  music, apps, games … … not to mention shopping. Tierney, an engineer by training who calls herself “a factory geek,” shares her insights and fascinations about the way Amazon warehouses work.  Contact Jane Tierney Website: www.Purple-Link.net Email: Jane@purple-link.net Set up a phone appointment at CallWithJane.com "Branded" Podcast Contact Info John BiethanContact the showALL MAVEN a Full-service Digital & Creative Agency Intro/Outro music credit Dances With Koalas by coruscate (c) copyright 2020 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/Coruscate/61129 Ft: Calyman & Psubhashish Program notes by Dave Herndon.

My guests on this episode have got my attention for several good reasons:  I admire the environmental work they do in promoting the restoration and preservation of a natural resource in my own community of Carlsbad, California. And I’m eager to help them succeed in their mission by starting a podcast about specific aspects of the ecosystem and their role in it, like their Monarch butterfly program.  Lisa Rodman is the CEO and Samantha Richter is the COO of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation. The foundation’s centerpiece is the Discovery Center, an interactive exhibit geared towards educating children about the ecology of the lagoon. Teachable subjects include flora and fauna, water conservation, aquafarming, astronomy, and Native culture. They established the Academy of Environmental Stewardship to educate the next generation of environmentalists.  A core mission of their trail walks and restoration program is to teach guests of all ages to appreciate and preserve the nature that is all around us. Other initiatives and activities include recruiting volunteers, planning events, and, of course, fundraising through corporate and individual membership programs. An example of the kind of success they can achieve: The foundation raised $8 million to eradicate a “killer algae” that threatened the viability of the lagoon. The Agua Hedionda Foundation’s podcast “Nature All Around Me” < can be found there.

A Strategic Book Coach Meets a Recovering Magazine Editor at the Podcast Cafe Honoree Corder is a Strategic Book Coach, a self-publishing expert, and the author of 53 books that have sold 4 million copies!  She also calls herself a co-creator: “I work with professionals and entrepreneurs to help them write, publish, and monetize their books.” For the purposes of this conversation, refer to her title, You Must Write a Book: Boost Your Brand, Get ...  Dave Herndon is a recovering magazine editor and newspaper person, which makes him one of a legion of former print journalists who are trying to find a Plan B (C, D...)  since the publishing industry has cratered and jobs have disappeared. He’s now a wordsmith for hire (editing and writing) and a podcasting apprentice. To learn where he’s coming from, check out Herndon-at-Large.com. Dave asked the questions, Honoree did most of the talking, and John chimed in with insights about how podcasting fits into the communications and branding ecosystems. Key talking points include Honoree: Self-published books can’t be amateurish. You need to have them edited, designed, and proofed professionally. Her indie team is full of pros with backgrounds in traditional publishing. “You can actually hire really great people who are making a fair living because you're paying them directly.” Honoree: Self-publishing can be more rewarding than traditional publishing. “I can create a book that is every bit as good and I get to do all of the other things that I want to do with the book. I get to have quality control. I get to have content control. I get to have timing control. I get to have creative control. I get to keep all the cash.” Honoree: Carpe diem! “Write it, write it, write it. You have more time than you've ever had and may ever have. Again, we don't know when this is going to be over and you might have to go back to work. … You can't predict the future, but you can sit down and write.” Honoree: Podcasts are great publicity. “As a podcast guest, I have done about 500 podcast interviews. And when someone signs up for my newsletter, one of my questions is how'd you find me? And it's always through someone recommending, or they heard me on a podcast.” John agrees with her: “Your podcast is your advertisement. … It's just great, quote-unquote, advertising.” John: Podcasts are still the land of opportunity. “Last count [there were] … about 900,000 podcasts …Only about 250 to 300,000 are actually active….So when you compare basically podcasting to any form of media, it's just wide open still. ...it's certainly less than $500 a year, depending on how much you really want to get into it.” Honoree recommends these writers’ podcasts for tips and technique: Kelton Reid – The Writer Files and Six Figure Authors.

If you want to be a better writer, this episode is for you. My guest Dave Herndon is an accomplished non-fiction editor and writer, with nearly 40 years of experience at quality newspapers and magazines. We asked him for a few writing tips, which turn out to be good advice for delivering information and storytelling regardless of medium or platform. Dave stresses the importance of outlines, so here’s a somewhat shrunken version of his outline. Ask yourself the most important question: Who cares?  What’s your story in a nutshell? How are you going to tell your story?  DO AN OUTLINE! Identify key elements of story: The lead/intro; the nutshell; the body; scenes, characters, quotes, key info, etc. Herndon refers to a famous example in this outline, Gay Talese’s storyboard for a famous profile of Frank Sinatra. And here’s the final piece, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold. Write like a craftsperson--assemble the pieces as you outlined them--and let the art take care of itself, in the process of rewriting/self-editing. Take it from the likes of Tom Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway: set a reasonable quota for a day, and stop hard when you reach it. Wolfe set himself a quota of 1,000 words a day. That doesn’t mean you have to. The next day, self-edit the stuff you wrote the day before and pick up in the midstream. Herndon referred to two examples of craftsmanship that represent solutions to different interviewing/writing problems. He wrote a piece about Ted Turner, A Turning Point in Turner Country, but only had 20 minutes with TT. See how he deployed a scant inventory of quotes to create the impression that Turner himself is helping to tell this story. Another piece had the opposite issue: Herndon had lots of access to the subject--who died while he was writing it. So the story had to change in mid-process, with the stakes raised considerably. The piece is titled, The Voice of the People, about Andy Palacio.
