Have you ever said you were ok when you were hurting?   At some point, we have all said we were ok when something wasn't right. It is the next thing we do after that matters. Did we continue lying to ourselves, or did we let someone know or get help?   Today we are talking with Erik DaRosa and Marc Fernandes, who have different mental health stories. Still, they both found relief in finding a way through it together. During the peak of the pandemic, they launched the podcast From Survivor to Thriver to help lower the stigma around mental health so everyone can feel they have the confidence to say, “I am not ok.”  Key Topics: ·     The beginning (01:51) ·     Normalizing Conversations around mental health (07:46) ·     Dealing with the capacity issue in the system to get treatment (12:40) ·     What doors did having a podcast open up (17:41) ·     What advice would you give to open up doors beyond the podcast (21:52) ·     What makes The Scared Cycle the charity of choice today (28:04) Website link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043860?fbclid=IwAR3YKNnW-1rGiAQ3Yz6P4iOdoaBOyJY-Ia9FG2NlTLbZ440o-3EUyjuKdKg (From Survivor to Thriver) Podcast Links: ·     https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043860?fbclid=IwAR3YKNnW-1rGiAQ3Yz6P4iOdoaBOyJY-Ia9FG2NlTLbZ440o-3EUyjuKdKg (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8yMDQzODYwLnJzcw== (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ki6AuWRD57kEVcSuFVwQK (Spotify) Charity: https://thesacredcycle.org/ (The Scared Cycle) Donation: Make a https://thesacredcycle.org/donate/ (donation) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/company/from-survivor-to-thriver/?viewAsMember=true (LinkedIn) ·     https://www.facebook.com/brushcreekthrivers/ (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/brushcreekthrivers/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

Could your book be a podcast? Today we are talking with Sandy Ciaramitaro, who did just that with her children's series. In this non-traditional way of starting a podcast, she found success by creating follow-on content that kept the younger readers between the age of 5-12 engaged in becoming a good egg. This path had some challenges because parents are the pathway to the kids, but it has worked, and her foundation, The Good Egg Foundation, has come alongside the podcast supporting other non-profits creating good eggs.

Ten years later, it is still going and has evolved, connecting Geneticists and people affected by rare diseases.  Most people live their life like any other normal human being. Still, a few are born with rare diseases that will impact them for the rest of their lives or, in some cases, will be with them for the rest of their lives.   We have had a few causes on the show that highlighted specific diseases.

How many podcasts have you been a guest for? As we discuss in today's episodes, being a guest on other podcasts is one of the highest returns on investments of time you can have. A lot goes into being a good guest, message, sound quality, and the right type of podcast.  It can be overwhelming all by itself, just podcasting add guesting on top of that, but as Mathew helps us see there is a process, it's a lot easier than we think once we get started.

When Roe vs Wade was overturned, did you wonder how you could help? "Every podcaster has a voice" is the common language in the industry, but what happens when the voices combine to advocate for change? That is precisely what Arielle did with the recent Roe vs. Wade overturned issue. She posted a call to action on Twitter which exploded into people rallying around the effort and offering to play a consistent host read ad at the beginning of their episodes. It's a simple but powerful way where we collectively can influence a topic. But, as Arielle shares, this is just the beginning, and future causes will be added as the idea expands.

What is the worst hot mic moment you have had in podcasting? Today Mathew opens up about a trend in the industry with the quality of guests and the worst hot mic moment he has had during a live recording. Even though it's just audio, an interview is still a conversation, and the quality matters.  A podcast host knows the work that goes into the podcast each week to produce it, but we often see that guests have never operated a podcast other than showing up. Often these guests come from different industries and bring a lot of bad habits with them. ·     https://podcasters.apple.com/3513-news-introducing-delegated-delivery (Apple to allow third-party distribution of audio for Apple Subscriptions) (3:12) ·     How will iOS adoption be impacted by this addiction (6:48) ·     Any change to the small podcaster (8:42) ·     What are some of the issues that you are having with unprofessionalism (13:55) ·     How has the paid guesting service impacted the politeness of guests (22:43) ·     How ego shows up in podcasting (24:37) ·     Why does TV seem to be above the issues in podcasting (27:49) ·     How do you handle a bad guest (30:41) Thanks for Listening!  Be sure to subscribe onhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1454336984 ( Apple),https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vcG9kY2FzdC1tZS1hbnl0aGluZy8= ( Google),https://open.spotify.com/show/7q9j88X29nrHElKjpV6hvS ( Spotify), or wherever you get your podcasts.

Is your podcast about a controversial topic? How do you create a podcast that builds bridges on a complex topic versus tearing it down in a world that wants to cancel everything?  A bridge is an integral part of any two sides understanding each other, and podcasting has always been a good bridge for conversations we need to be having. But getting started and navigating the landscape isn't always easy, and even for the best podcasters in this space, it's a skill practiced repeatedly. Listen today on how to get started, what to know, and how to be the change you want to see in the world through podcasting. ·     https://www.iab.com/news/u-s-podcast-advertising-revenue-hits-1-4-billion-in-2021/ (U.S. Podcast Advertising Revenue Hits $1.4 Billion in 2021) (2:48) ·     Underestimating the value of your podcast (5:00) ·     Finding what is the cost per lead for an advertiser (9:49) ·     Why a Podcast audit can help find advertisers (13:38) ·     How to avoid the foot in your mouth moments (17:09) ·     Being the model for what civil conversations can look like (27:47) ·     Preparing for hard conversations as the interviewer (34:43) ·     When does it make sense to swear on the podcast (44:56)  Thanks for Listening!  Be sure to subscribe onhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1454336984 ( Apple),https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vcG9kY2FzdC1tZS1hbnl0aGluZy8= ( Google),https://open.spotify.com/show/7q9j88X29nrHElKjpV6hvS ( Spotify), or wherever you get your podcasts.

What is that question that you should never ask on a podcast? For the answer, you will need to check out today's episode, but in the meantime, let's talk about what makes a great interview on a podcast. We often don't realize the full power of a great interview as a listener until we are behind the microphone.   Like all skills in podcasting, it's a muscle that needs to go to the gym and get stronger.

Do you have an idea for a local podcast? When people think of podcasting it is often associated with national or even global audiences, but what about local. Local podcasts have seen a surge in recent years with the changes to traditional media and the rise in podcasting as an accepted medium.

Have you ever felt that your podcast feels more like a stale bag of chips? I think every podcaster goes through a stage where they get unsure of what comes next, what do I change, or is this still my passion. Talking into a microphone in an empty room or hosting conversations over the internet, keeping the connection alive to your purpose is key to long-term success. What got you here won't always get you there. Realize where you started this journey doesn't have to be where you stay. We are all climbing a mountain, and as we climb, we might get a better view of the horizon and see a different opportunity; it's ok, as they say, it's about the journey, not the destination.

How are you measuring success? It's a big question with no one perfect answer, but it is the big question that podcasters struggle with, especially after they get past the launch phase. So today, on the podcast, Mathew opens up where to look, how to read the data, and what decisions you can make from it.  We measure growth in downloads for most podcasters, but it is a vanity metric that doesn't give us details of where to grow, how to grow, and where we should be making changes.  Topics: Podcast News: https://rephonic.com/tools/podcast-followers?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2022-02-04 (Rephonic) (2:07) Deep Dive: Why are IAB downloads important, How do we measure a show Q and A: Creating trackable links for analytics Thanks for Listening!

Like many others, the podcasting industry has a lot of terms that at first often don't make sense. Dynamic insertion, also called Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI), is a topic that is getting a lot of buzz around the industry. For those looking to level up their knowledge and execution, DAI is a term every podcaster needs to know. However, it is just getting started and will only be growing in popularity.

Are you in a love/hate relationship with your podcast hosting provider? At some point, every podcaster looks at this question to answer if a different platform would help them grow the podcast. I think it's one of the hardest questions next to starting and stopping a podcast. It has many sides to it, it has a lot of reasons, but ultimately how do you decide. This is the focus of our deep dive today and we go into the weeds of the tech, the strategy, and the choices for how you decide whom to switch to.

Are you thinking about launching a podcast but worried that it's a crowded niche? In today's episode, we dive into the rebuttal that you should not launch a podcast; there are too many already. Good podcast ideas are born every day and die every day because of how people perceive the idea, or maybe they talk themselves out of it.

Today we dive into the state of the podcast listener experience from where people are listening to podcasts. We hear a lot about Spotify making a big play in podcasting, but how well the efforts have been working. It's a good thing there are tools these days to measure this, and recent news suggests the big bet is paying off.

Are you podcasting to an empty room? For most podcasters, it not empty, but we always wish it was more. A common phrase you hear from podcasters is, “I am creating great content, but I am not reaching enough people fast enough.”  It is not a new problem, and it will not be solved overnight, but as we discuss in today's episode, it has already been solved.  A standard gap in business is we assume the problems we face are unique to our industry, but in reality, another industry most likely has already solved it.  This is where Refer-O-Matic steps in to bring the oldie, but goodie, referrals. It is one of the fastest ways to build trust within a business, create creditability, and reach your goals.  Key Topics: What led to the creation of Glow.fm, and how did that flow into starting Refer-O-Matic (2:39) What became the answer to help podcasters grow their podcast (4:50) When a podcast signs up, what are the steps to get up and running (6:33) How does Refer-O-Matic solve tracking who subscribed to the podcast from a referral (8:32) What have been some of the best rewards to entice listeners to refer the podcast to friends (10:02) What does the future look like for paid subscription-based podcast (12:02) Local Podcasts and what makes it such a unique are to work in (14:15) Website link: ReferOmatic.fm | Glow.fm Social Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/glowfm/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GlowDotFM Twitter: https://twitter.com/amiravalliani Thanks for Listening!

If you answered yes, this episode is for you because we talk with Fatima Zaidi, whose the CEO and Co-founder of Quill. Quill runs a freelance marketplace to connect brands with trusted podcast professionals located in North America. They offer in-house consulting and podcast management, but they always know the right freelancer to get the job done if they are not the right fit.  Fatima says that every brand should have a podcast, but not every podcast should be a brand. A podcast should be where the brand's story reveals a deeper understanding of its name. There is nothing like podcasting for a brand to build upon the trust and loyalty they already have with their customers.

Finding the right beat, at the right price, and knowing you are getting the right deal is something every new podcaster goes through. It is one of the first significant issues many people launching a podcast have to go through, and its usually in the dark.  Most podcasters are not familiar with the music licensing industry and get an education on it very quickly to make sure they set up the show for success. Today on the podcast, we are talking with the co-founders of Songs For Podcasting who are bringing a flashlight to the process and helping podcasters find the right beat, at the right price, and making sure they are protected. Our conversation goes into the weeds of this issue and what podcasters need to know before picking that first beat. Key Topics: ·     What is Songs For Podcasters and why did it open its doors (0:34) ·     Why is music licensing with podcasting so unique in the industry (1:42) ·     Why is it essential that podcasters don't just pirate mainstream music for a podcast (4:15) ·     What new record labels are getting on board with providing music for podcasting (5:47) ·     Will, we ever see mainstream musicians make music available for use on podcasts (7:03) ·     How can you avoid getting hit with copyright infringement (9:49) ·     What does a podcaster need to know about royalties as a podcast grows (11:40) ·     How do you make sure your media license grows with your podcast (12:44) ·     Is it required to update your old music licenses as your podcast grows (16:00) ·     What do podcasters need to know before they start searching on Songs For Podcasters (18:40) ·     Is it better for the production company to own the copyright or the podcast host (19:57)) Website link: https://songsforpodcasters.com/SFPHomePage (https://songsforpodcasters.com/SFPHomePage) Social Links SyncFloor (Parent company to Songs For Podcasters) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/SyncFloor (https://twitter.com/SyncFloor) ·     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SyncFloor/ (https://www.facebook.com/SyncFloor/) ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/syncfloor/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/syncfloor/) Cestjon McFarland: ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cestjon-mcfarland-027a805/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cestjon-mcfarland-027a805/) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/cestjon (https://twitter.com/cestjon) ·     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cestjon/ (https://www.instagram.com/cestjon/) Kirt Debique ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtdebique/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtdebique/) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/katewayo?lang=en (https://twitter.com/katewayo?lang=en) ·     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katewayo/   Thanks for Listening!

Every new podcaster wants to know how to boost their engagement. The answer is a lot simpler than you think. Engagement comes easy when it's coming from a place of passion. If you're faking it, your listeners will see through it. Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast,  where each week, Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast, build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you. Mathew Passy has been podcasting since before podcasts were a “thing”. After a start in broadcasting 15 years ago, Mathew's career evolved into podcasting. He's worked in production for major organisations like The Wall Street Journal and individual clients all over the United States. His first podcasting experience began like the storyline from a binge-worthy TV show. The radio station newsroom that Mathew was working in at the time needed a way to transition into the digital world. He suggested converting the early news segment into a podcast. It worked, and it's still going strong to this day.  From then on, Mathew worked his magic in the podcasting world. He had his hand in hosting and producing massively popular shows like Tech News Briefing and Your Money Matters. He eventually used his passion to create his very own show, the PodUp Podcast, which gave an inside look at the industry.  Mathew is now the host of Podcast Me Anything. It's a question and answers formatted show, where listeners can get all of their burning podcast queries answered once and for all. Besides being the connoisseur of podcast hosting, Mathew also runs his own business. The Podcast Consultant is a one-stop-shop for podcast hosts. Mathew runs audits on their shows, telling them what areas need tweaking and what areas are killing it. In this episode, Ronsley, Kaili and Mathew get into what makes you an “expert”. Mathew tells us the things that he thinks newbies should be aware of. And he also gets into his biggest point about podcasting. In order to be authentic, you absolutely have to have a genuine passion for what you're talking about. Also within this episode: The complicated production process of early podcasts How Mathew uses his radio experience in podcasting Why you can start a podcast for basically any reason, as long as you're passionate about it The magic of affiliate links How a podcast can give your business credibility  How to stand out in a crowded niche The process of a podcast audit Why you should always lead with value in marketing The 3 things Mathew recommends for interviewing Links: Mathew on LinkedIn Mathew on Twitter Mathew on Instagram The Podcast Consultant Podcast Me Anything Causepods

"There has never been a better time" – Chris Hines This quote is an excellent summary of what this episode hits home when it comes to podcasting. The medium is still young; it's still growing, and every brand should have a podcast.  There are many reasons podcasts fail to launch, and the biggest one is typically, "my niche is to busy." In today's episode, Chris highlights why that excuse is just an excuse and why every brand needs a podcast to build stronger customer intimacy and nurture the current sales funnel. Key Topics: ·     How did Chris get started in podcasting (0:48) ·     At what point did Chris learn the power of podcasting (2:06) ·     What were some of the early lessons after starting his business (3:07) ·     What is the big picture idea that Chris is building up to (4:41) ·     What is the secret to getting your podcast discovered (7:00) ·     Creating hyper customized content from your podcast (8:53) ·     When does the advertising model work in podcasting (9:45) ·     What does the medium of podcasting look like in the future (10:29) ·     Should you always be the first in the market for something (12:04) ·     New tools to help streamline the podcasters workflow (13:10)s Website link: https://www.elitepodcastmarketing.agency/ (https://www.elitepodcastmarketing.agency/) Join The Waitlist: https://podcastingisbranding.guru/toolkitwaitlist (Podcast Creator Bundle) Podcast Links: ·     Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasting-is-branding/id1532671572 ·     Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9ra1BQMUZhXw== ·     Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5qJlvXTSU9T7YMPEuEthnW?si=05Rn9S1kQC2uh4wFfA2A5g Social Links ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thecoachchris/ ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecoachchris_ ·     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoachchris_/ (https://www.instagram.com/thecoachchris_/) https://www.instagram.com/elitepodcastagency/ (https://www.instagram.com/elitepodcastagency/) Thanks for Listening!

Podcast hosts are loved because the trust and relationship they build with their audience through this show. On this episode of Podcast Me Anything, we chat with Rob Walch, Vice President of Podcaster Relations at Libsyn, to discuss the hidden tech that is tracking podcast listeners and why that should be a concern for content creators. In the online marketing world GDPR is something that any company running an online business needs to knows about. And one of the key features of that system is the ability for the end user to opt-in. Because that opportunity doesn't exist within the podcasting space, many companies providing attribution and other tracking services are running afoul of these privacy rules. With Overcast's new privacy tool, users are going to learn quickly what data shows are willing to collect through these tools, and he is concerned about the reckoning that will follow. Listen to today's show and find the limitations for podcasters to enforce GDPR and CCPA rules, and why Rob is concerned for the entire space. And don't forget to read this post which outlines in further detail why https://podcast411.libsyn.com/privacy-does-really-matter-in-podcasting (Rob believes privacy really does matter) for podcast consumers. Key Topics: What are the biggest concerns with privacy in the podcast space (1:01) What solutions are available on the market to provide opt-in tracking (2:17) Does the argument IP addresses are trackable hold water (4:49) What does tracking do for the harm of the industry long term (5:13) What is behind the new Overcast tracking feature (9:30) Will Apple be making any changes to podcasting in the future (14:35) Guest's Podcast Links: The Feed: http://thefeed.libsyn.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podcast-page (http://thefeed.libsyn.com) Today in iOS: http://www.todayinios.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podcast-page (http://www.todayinios.com) Guest's Social Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcast411/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcast411/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast411 (https://twitter.com/podcast411) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast411 (https://www.facebook.com/podcast411) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robwalch (https://www.instagram.com/robwalch) Thanks for Listening!

How many times as editors do you hear from a client, “I just want to record”?

CEO and Co-founder of Supercast.com, Jason Sew Hoy, joins me today on Podcast Me Anything.  Supercast is a beautiful platform for creating paid membership access to your podcast, making monetization simple. Jason got involved in the podcast realm when he was helping build out subscription podcasting for a couple of podcasters. A freemium model where only about 2-7% of your audience pays for more of your content. He then realized most podcasters don't realize they could be sitting on a gold mine.  And so, http://www.supercast.com (Supercast.com) was born.  Jason explains exactly how it works as well as different options members can utilize. He also shares some new cool features for podcasters to help them improve engagement with their listeners. Don't forget to keep an eye out for Supercast's Podcast launching soon.
