Dan talks about the beauty of podcasting as an unrestricted platform where anyone can share their voice, message, passion, or even their goofball energy with the world. No gatekeepers, no overlords, just real humans creating meaningful content.Julie steps outside her usual comfort zone by recording on her phone and bringing Dan on camera for YouTube, proving once again that confidence is built by taking imperfect action.They also give a sneak peek of next week's featured interview with Cathi Carrier, founder of Pure Bella, who left spa ownership to build a skincare line designed specifically for women in midlife.The episode wraps with a heartfelt reminder: there will always be reasons not to start, but if you have a dream or direction calling you, take the first step.

It’s the new-year kickoff episode that starts at full throttle and somehow keeps finding another gear. In “2026 FNK and… GO,” Mike and Joe spin a playlist built for the first cheers of the year - loud, proud, a little chaotic (in the best way), and powered by the Friday Night Karaoke Facebook group. Along the way, they riff on the “countdown” theme landing after the calendar flipped, hype up the FNK crew, and keep circling back to one mission: start 2026 with big energy, big voices, and zero hesitation. Featured performances (with the moments that made them pop on the show) Kristoff Crafton - “Drink Myself Drunk” (Rebel Son): The ultimate “hit play and the year starts now” opener. Mike and Joe immediately talk about it like a repeat-listen anthem and even bring up singing it together at PodFest in Orlando. Jennifer Adams - “Get the Party Started” (Pink): Introduced with full love as a longtime pillar of the community (and a group moderator) - then the dynamic duo nerds out over how tough it is to “record over yourself” and how she stacked vocals like an audio inception trick. Nancy Van Eindhoven - “The Final Countdown” (Europe): Mike sets it up as the perfect countdown energy (even if you’re recording a few days late), then you both rave about her power and presence - the kind that makes you sing along even if you’ve heard the song a million times. Rick Mendoza - “Around and Around” (The Rolling Stones): Timeless, classic, and somehow “Elvis-y” in the best way. The vibe sends the conversation straight into retro rock-and-roll territory and Mike’s excitement about a 50s-style night in Orlando. Mike Wiston - “Suck My Kiss” (Red Hot Chili Peppers): “My podcast, my prerogative” energy. Mike frames it as his personal 2026 welcome song, shouts out seeing RHCP live in Tokyo, and you keep the momentum ripping toward the back half of the episode. Annastaisyar - “Crazy Train” (Ozzy Osbourne): A live-bar recording with that real karaoke-room electricity. Mike and Joe both point out you can’t stand still on a song like this - and you give her big credit for fully getting into it and bringing serious vocals. Katie Rose - “I Like It Heavy” (Halestorm): Pure “turn it up past 10” payoff. The hosts both react to the whole vibe (including the gritty video look) and the massive ending - and you even accidentally label it “Good to Be Alive” for a second, which honestly becomes the perfect accidental motto for this episode. Hit play, crank it up, and start your year the FNK way - loud, fun, and together. Love what you hear? Join the Friday Night Karaoke Facebook group here and be part of the magic!

Most podcasters don't quit because they fail; they quit because they stop recognizing their progress. Today, we take a closer look at what real wins actually look like when you're in the work week after week. While our lead host, Marc, is at PodFest, Ralph Estep takes the wheel and guides us through a poignant discussion on recognizing wins beyond the numbers and not taking your accomplishments for granted. We share heartfelt examples of progress that are easy to overlook: showing up on a hard day, helping one listener, or simply staying consistent when motivation dips. Momentum isn't always loud; in fact, it can be quiet. Redefining progress is one of the best ways to avoid burnout and stay in the podcasting game.Sometimes, staying in it is the win.To honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there will be no show on Monday, January 19th. Join us on Tuesday, January 20th, 2026, for more conversations on podcasting.Episode Highlights: [03:18] Recognizing wins we often overlook[16:55] Self-talk and breaking negative habits[23:16] Overcoming self-sabotage[24:59] Why motivation and knowledge both matter[27:20] Making a positive impact on others[36:41] Sharing personal wins from the community[41:55] Repeating intentional wins and releasing what drains you[42:40] Consistency, mindset, and sustainable momentumLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Empowered Podcasting Conference Course with Recordings: https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodfest: https://podfestexpo.comWhat to Say When You Talk To Yourself: https://a.co/d/dNFxaQURemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Have you ever received feedback on your podcast that just didn't sit right, but you couldn't tell if it was something to fix or something to ignore? While our fearless leader, Marc, is at Podfest, co-host Ralph Estep steps in to guide a thoughtful conversation about feedback and how podcasters can take it in without getting defensive or second-guessing everything they're building. This episode centers on one key idea: not everyone gets a vote in your podcast. We explore how feedback often shows up messy, or wrapped in someone else's opinion, and why that doesn't mean it all carries the same weight. We talk about how to ask for better feedback, how to separate useful information from personal reaction, and how to test small changes without blowing up your entire show. If you care deeply about your work and want to grow without spiraling, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and reassurance. You're not alone in figuring this out. And it's worth asking: who does get a vote in your show?Episode Highlights: [02:44] Personal experiences with feedback[06:00] Handling negative feedback[16:15] Asking effective feedback questions[23:20] Deciding who gets a vote in your show[27:16] Soliciting feedback from your audience[29:03] Building relationships with guests[31:45] Why pre-interviews lead to stronger podcasts[33:15] Leveraging peer groups for growth[39:10] Investing in podcast SEO[44:55] Measuring podcast successLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Empowered Podcasting Conference Course with Recordings: https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodfest: https://podfestexpo.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Go here to secure your ticket: Here ______________ What if your physician podcast isn't failing, it's just stuck in the "quiet plateau" phase, and the key to breaking through is community, not better content?  In this  episode of Bootstrap MD, host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares insights from his experience and talks with countless physician podcasters. He explores why so many physician podcasts hit a wall and quietly fade away. Drawing from conversations with hundreds of doctors, he breaks down the three phases of podcasting, the pitfalls of isolation, and proven strategies to build momentum.   He outlines the three phases:  The excited beginner: Episodes 1-20, full of energy and early wins The quiet plateau: Episodes 20-75, where downloads flatline and motivation wanes due to lack of feedback The leverage podcast: where clarity and connections lead to opportunities like speaking gigs and collaborations.   Mike explains why physicians stall more than other creators, due to a focus on competence over visibility, rare creative feedback, and a solo mindset from medical training. He emphasizes four key levers: audience clarity, feedback loops, peer collaboration, and identity. Drawing from real examples, he shows how repositioning can reignite growth without changing content quality.   Mike also introduces Dr. Podfest, an event he co-created with Dr. Anne Truong, happening  in Orlando, a one-day physician summit with awards, networking, and access to Podfest Expo for building media platforms without isolation. Go here to secure your ticket: Here If you're a physician podcaster feeling the plateau or contemplating starting one, this episode delivers practical advice to turn your show into a compounding asset, avoid common traps, and find the validation needed to keep going. Three Actionable Takeaways:   Identify your phase and build clarity: Assess if you're in the excited beginner, quiet plateau, or leverage stage; define your audience niche in one sentence e.g., "hospitalists building side income" to make content more resonant and avoid speaking to "everyone." Create feedback loops and collaborate: Move beyond download metrics by seeking direct listener responses, peer episode reviews, and conversations with other physician podcasters to refine positioning, intros, and topics, start this from episode one to prevent isolation. Join or build community for momentum: Seek rooms like Dr. Podfest for live connections, validation, and shared insights; focus on specificity in your identity ("What am I known for?") to open doors, and remember that momentum comes from peers reflecting your impact, not just more episodes.   About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures. Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship.

You're an institution. Time to invest like one.—---------------------------Join us for Doctor PodFest in Florida! Go here to secure your ticket: Here—---------------------------What if owning your medical mistakes could rebuild trust and prevent future harm?In this profound episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Dr. Danielle Ofri, to explore the raw realities of errors in medicine. Sharing a vivid story from her residency, Dr. Ofri discusses why mistakes happen, the difference between guilt which drives improvement, and shame which paralyzes, and the power of genuine apologies. Ideal for physicians grappling with perfectionism, this conversation offers strategies for self-compassion, seeking mentors, and creating systems that support clinicians, helping you continue caring without being crushed by uncertainty.Three Actionable Takeaways:Distinguish Guilt from Shame: Guilt focuses on the error and motivates change e.g., "I forgot the long-acting insulin, next time I'll double-check protocols". Shame attacks your identity "I'm a bad doctor". Dr. Ofri advises recognizing this to avoid paralysis; practice by journaling an error's facts versus your emotional narrative, then discuss with a trusted colleague to reframe it productively.Bear Witness to Suffering: For patients and peers, simply listening and acknowledging pain builds trust, whether it's a patient's chronic illness story or a colleague's post-error distress. Try this: Next time a teammate struggles, offer a quick check-in like "Need a coffee break?" to foster community and remind them they're valued beyond one mistake.Deliver Genuine Apologies: Avoid passive language; own your role actively e.g., "I'm sorry my oversight contributed to this outcome, I've been reflecting deeply and changing my process". Patients value transparency and prevention steps; role-play with a mentor before tough talks to ensure honesty while consulting risk management for legal guidance.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

How To Build Trust FAST With Content This one hit different… Fonzi came in hot with a question that had my brain on fire: How fast can we build trust with content? At first, I thought I had the answer. But wait ‘til you hear where this convo went… We broke down something we see ALL the time: people chasing views... but losing trust. We asked stuff like: What's content really supposed to do? Why are some videos getting tons of views but zero results for their businesses? And can a stranger trust you just from ONE piece of content? You might think it's all about going viral... But there's something way more powerful happening under the surface. We're sharing behind-the-scenes stuff we've never talked about before, like how we helped a creator with 20 million downloads and some things we implemented with their team to move the needle forward… fast! Don't miss this. It might change how you create content forever. P.S. Want help with your content strategy for 2026? Go to www.bizbros.co/monetize and let's plan it together.

Send us a textWhat if calling a week-long ride's overnight towns could win you a jersey no one else will ever own? We turned our BRAG 2026 route fever into a community contest and crowned a winner who came astonishingly close to a perfect map. Along the way, we unpacked why state rides like Bragg are such a powerful gateway into bike touring: approachable daily mileage, supportive staff, flexible sleeping options, and small towns that roll out the welcome mat.We walk through how riders reverse-engineer a route—looking at mileage norms, terrain, venue capacity, and that all-important Tuesday layover. The winning entry stood out not just for accuracy, but for understanding how a great route balances challenge and charm. That earned him a one-of-a-kind yellow Cycling Men of Leisure jersey co-branded with the BRAG Happy Trails logo, built to stand out across camp and spark conversations about his sharp call.We also share practical travel tactics that make week-long rides smoother.

In part two of our 2025 retrospective series, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares bold predictions for 2026 in physician entrepreneurship. wraps up the 2025 retrospective with forward-looking predictions for physician entrepreneurs. He breaks down business and practice trends like hyper-specialization, education-clinical hybrids for leverage, and AI workflows as staff multipliers. On the investment side, expect demands for more control, shifts to real assets with operational upside like healthcare real estate or media brands, and fewer but deeper convictions. Drawing from his own businesses and consulting experiences, Dr. Mike shares real examples and challenges physicians to rethink their strategies. Discover why specialization trumps scaling, how education-clinical hybrids will explode, AI as a staff multiplier, shifts in investments toward control and real assets, and a three-step playbook to thrive.  This episode delivers actionable insights to own your future. The episode ends with a practical 2026 playbook: one business to double down on, one asset to exit, and one skill to master. If you're a physician building businesses or wealth,  seeking autonomy, passive income, or scalable ventures beyond traditional medicine, this is your roadmap to building leverage, wealth, and freedom in the year ahead. Three Actionable Takeaways: Specialize deeply: Narrow your niche to one core expertise (e.g., hormone optimization for perimenopausal women in high-stress careers) for clearer marketing, premium pricing, and less competition. Avoid broad scaling; focus on being the go-to for a specific problem and patient type. Layer education on clinical care: Build hybrid models like group coaching, memberships, or workshops to extend patient value, prevent issues, and scale revenue without adding hours. This creates stickier relationships, higher referrals, and leverage—start small with a monthly Q&A series. Consolidate investments: Demand control, transparency, and optionality in deals; shift to real assets like improvable real estate or physician-led media (e.g., podcasts with sponsorship revenue). Pick fewer high-conviction bets where you add value, exit underperformers, and master one skill like AI integration or content creation for compounding gains.

Go here to secure your ticket: Here------------------------------What if an angry patient's "eruption" isn't an attack on you, but a desperate attempt to protect something vital, like their health, time, or family?In this essential episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Luke Wiesner, a seasoned conflict specialist who's trained hundreds of healthcare teams, to unpack de-escalation strategies for volatile patient interactions. Drawing from his decade of experience in mediation and coaching, Luke introduces the "volcano" model: eruptions stem from underlying pressures, not malice. He outlines a repeatable framework: regulate yourself, relate to their emotions e.g., frustration over wasted time, seek understanding, and collaboratively solve problems while offering choices. They discuss avoiding defensiveness, acknowledging experiences even if "wrong", empowering staff with boundaries, and knowing when to escalate for safety. Perfect for physicians and teams facing post-COVID edge in offices or hospitals.If tense encounters leave you or your staff drained, this blueprint empowers you to de-escalate safely, foster trust, and reduce burnout, making you the office hero.Three Actionable Takeaways:Regulate yourself first to avoid fueling the fire: When facing an eruption, pause for deep breaths or a quick mental reset, remind yourself they're protecting something vital (health, time, money). This prevents defensiveness, decoupling you from being seen as the "threat," and sets the stage for calm rapport-building.Relate and reflect to build connection: Acknowledge their emotion with muted words like "frustrated" or "concerned", avoid "angry" to prevent pushback. Reflect on their experience: "This probably isn't how you planned to spend your afternoon, I can see how frustrating that is." Genuinely show you care to shift from adversaries to allies, using nonverbal cues like tone for authenticity.Solve collaboratively and set boundaries: Offer options for control e.g., "We can slot you in two weeks or add you to the waitlist, which works?". If inappropriate (e.g., profanity, threats), give a choice: "I'd like to help, but I can't if you continue speaking that way—let's adjust, or I'll need to involve my manager." Know your office's escalation protocol (e.g., security) for safety.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Luke Wiesner has been a conflict specialist since 2014, offering mediation, coaching, training, and facilitation to workplaces, families, communities, and individuals. He's partnered with hundreds of organizations across industries, including healthcare, where he's helped physicians, surgeons, and teams de-escalate patient conflicts, improve communication, and resolve issues in clinical and office settings. LinkedIn: Luke Wiesner  Website: https://www.lukewiesner.comAbout the Host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

Some podcasts become part of your routine not because they teach you something new every time, but because they make you feel connected. Jonathan Howard leads the charge, with commentary and real world examples from me and the rest of the team, as we take a close look at what makes a podcast truly obsession worthy. We break down the storytelling framework behind Normal Gossip and talk about why relatability matters more than celebrity, how listener participation turns an audience into a community, and why tone and emotional safety matter just as much as structure and format. This episode explores how stories build trust, how familiar rituals keep people coming back, and why creating space for shared experience often matters more than chasing metrics. If you have been thinking about how to deepen listener connection and build something people want to return to again and again, there is a lot here to reflect on.Episode highlights:[2:00] – Celebrating nearly four years of Podcasting Morning Chat[3:30] – Marc shares his upcoming Podfest talk on community-first growth[7:45] – What makes a podcast “obsession worthy”[9:01] – Breaking down the Normal Gossip concept and format[10:31] – Why audience-submitted stories create ownership and loyalty[14:46] – Gossip as storytelling, social data, and human connection[18:30] – Relatability as a trust-building strategy[21:31] – Asking better questions to deepen audience connection[23:24] – Sharing mistakes as a way to build credibility[26:04] – Why relatability beats celebrity every time[30:41] – The role of character development in bingeable storytelling[37:37] – Why rituals and structure make podcasts comforting and familiar[38:58] – Creating fandom, shared language, and community identity[41:49] – Ending with reflection, meaning, and emotional safety[44:23] – Storytelling as the antidote to AI-generated samenessLinks & Resources:Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Normal Gossip:https://pod.link/1597761181Empowered Podcasting Conference Video Recordings:https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Podcasting Morning Chat:https://www.podcastingmorningchat.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Send us a textNew Year energy, winter grit, and a community that refuses to thin out—this one hits all three. We open with holiday contrasts that say everything about the ride right now: one of us hiking on ice with crampons and a Starbucks in hand, the other stepping out in shorts on a 70-degree Christmas. That contrast becomes a theme as we talk candidly about a slow job search, the quiet power of listener support, and why a team-first approach makes Big BRAG 2026 more rewarding for new riders and veterans alike.We zoom out to the bigger picture too. A shrunken Bicycling Magazine issue in the mailbox sparks a look at how print is adapting—smaller formats, leaner shipping, tighter layouts—and how that mirrors the shift from paper to pixels across cycling media. The conversation veers from aero bikes and marginal gains to what actually moves most riders: comfort, consistency, and a reason to roll. We share stories from old-school route planning in real estate photography, where efficiency beat mileage, and connect that mindset to how we plan tours, choose gear, and build habits that last.There's plenty of community fuel. We recap warm welcomes from international listeners, share gratitude for supporters who keep the show humming, and invite everyone to join our Cycling Men and Women of Leisure teams for Big BRAG 2026. We also announce our Podfest 2026 plans, thanks to Buzzsprout's support, and talk honestly about what conventions offer—useful ideas, people who push your craft, and a reminder that courses don't replace clarity. The Listener Spotlight returns with crisp clues—ten flags, great transit, book lovers, and an American cookout classic—so bring your best guess and jump in.Ride along for a thoughtful start to Season Five: real life, real laughs, and a clear focus on what matters—good roads, good people, and stories worth sharing.

In Part 1, he delivers a no-hype 2025 retrospective: the biggest wins (cash/hybrid models, content as infrastructure, smarter investing), the brutal flops (commodity telehealth, passive income myths, unused AI tools), and the quiet trends most doctors missed entirely. 2025 stripped away the illusions for physician entrepreneurs. While some chased shiny objects and got burned, others built real leverage, freedom, and wealth. In this raw year-in-review, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares exactly what crushed it, what crashed hard, and the under-the-radar shifts that separated the thriving doctors from the overwhelmed ones. No fluff, just the real lessons from coaching hundreds of physicians through the year's chaos.   Top 3 Actionable Takeaways  Own the patient relationship with niche cash/hybrid models: Stop competing on price in commoditized markets. Build a practice where you choose patients, control scheduling, and have pricing power, whether full cash, membership, or strategic hybrid. Micro-niches like executive perimenopause, endurance athletes, beat generic telehealth every time in 2025. Treat content as infrastructure, not marketing:  One consistent long-form platform (podcast, YouTube, newsletter) compounds trust and authority faster than rented social algorithms. Patients who consume 10+ episodes arrive pre-sold, not price-shopping. Start owning your distribution now, consistency beats perfection. Go deep on fewer bets instead of wide and scattered: Spreading across 10 mediocre ventures creates overwhelm with no leverage. The 2025 winners picked 1–2 interconnected things (niche practice, community, content and membership) and mastered them. Depth creates moats; breadth creates burnout.   About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Send us a textA Bigfoot sweater, a heavy backpack full of mics, and a plane to Orlando—our year closes with the perfect mix of ride stories, travel plans, and one serious warning every cyclist needs to hear. We're gearing up for Podfest, turning a living room into a studio, and cashing in on a DVC Moonlight Magic night that lets us skip the crowds and snag a few hours of park time. Along the way, we talk about how a smarter packing checklist, a better mic deal, and some SNL-worthy podcast jokes became part of our annual rhythm.The community takes center stage with a sharp Listener Spotlight reveal: Mesa, Arizona, where ancient canals still inform modern life and towering saguaros are protected for good reason. That maps neatly into our revamped BRAG route-guessing contest—a fairer point system that rewards the correct town on the correct night, and a big bonus for the layover. It's competitive, nerdy in the best way, and proof our listeners know roads we haven't yet ridden. Yes, a custom jersey is on the line, but the real prize is the thrill of being right.Then comes the must-hear segment: counterfeit bike parts. A recent $1.6M seizure of fake frames, bars, wheels, and components—some stamped with household cycling brands—reminds us that a bargain can be dangerous. We unpack the difference between knockoffs and counterfeits, why serial numbers can be forged, and how to protect yourself: buy critical components from reputable dealers or your local bike shop, verify serials, and second-guess prices that look magical. It's not about brand loyalty; it's about staying upright.We wrap with our top moments of the year—post-ride honesty, “one more mile” lies, bourbon wisdom—and a simple truth: we may not be getting faster, but the stories keep getting better. If you're here for community, safe gear, and a reason to ride tomorrow, you're in the right place.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves bikes, and drop a review to help other riders find the show.

This episode is a candid look at how sobriety can hold you through both expansion and emotional contraction.Nadine reflects on pivotal moments throughout the year, including speaking at Podfest in Orlando, performing her first stand-up set sober, taking a solo healing trip to Barbados, and experiencing her favorite trip of the year in Iceland during the summer solstice with her mom. She also shares the behind-the-scenes reality of burnout, overworking, and navigating major life transitions.On the dating front, Nadine opens up about long-distance heartbreak, emotional lows, minimal dating, and the clarity that came from stepping back and practicing discernment. She explains why there wasn't enough dating content for a full Sober Dating Wrapped episode—and what she learned instead about intuition, peace, and self-trust.The episode also highlights career milestones and redirections, including Pilates teacher training, unexpected endings that became blessings, and lessons around time, boundaries, and alignment. Ultimately, Nadine reminds listeners that growth isn't always glamorous—and that a “good year” doesn't always feel good while you're living it.This episode is for anyone navigating sobriety, transitions, heartbreak, burnout, or a season of becoming—and learning to trust themselves through it all.✨ In This Episode, You'll Hear:Nadine's 2025 Sober Wrapped breakdown by quarterHow travel became a stabilizing force during emotional lowsLessons from solo travel, including Barbados and El SalvadorWhy this year didn't warrant a full Sober Dating Wrapped episodeThe emotional impact of detachment and discernment in datingCareer wins, burnout warning signs, and redirectionsWhy mental health and alignment matter more than momentumHow sobriety supports growth even when life feels messy

A badge check at a conference door turned into a friendship and then into a mission. We crack open beers and a big story with James: from his early Air Force days in tactical communications to earning a Bronze Star, to laying down the wiring (literal and figurative) that keeps communities connected. The path runs through Podfest's early years, the mentors who made room, and the hard-won lessons that turn “event planning” into community architecture.We dig into why creators in and around the military need their own stage, and how Military Creator Con is being built to serve them. Think practical workshops for podcasters and new‑media makers, real talk from founders and inventors solving tough problems, and space for comedians and musicians to bring the culture alive. Expect opening socials, a Friday party with military‑connected performers, a casino night for easy connection, and programming designed to turn chance meetings into real collaboration. If you're a veteran, spouse, ally, or supporter with something to build or a story that teaches then this is your room.There's heart here too. We honor the legacy of Navy veteran and podcasting pioneer Todd Cochrane, and we talk honestly about the nomad life, partnership, and the grit it takes to keep moving without losing your center. The through line is simple: people first, ego last, and an open door for independent voices who want to make useful work. If you've been waiting for a sign to step up—pitch a talk, sponsor with purpose, or book that trip—consider this your nudge. Subscribe, share this with a creator who should be on that stage, and leave a review with the one connection you're most excited to make.Here's the link to learn more about Military Creator Con Talk yo sh!t… Sh!t-Talker!!Support the showFOLLOW US ON;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkshitwithpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TalkshitwithpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkwhitwIthpTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TalkshitwithpShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/Talkshitwithp.shopLEAVE US A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-with-p/id1509470001AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/@TalkshitwithpSupport The Show (whatever you can)Cashapp: https://cash.app/$TSWP20Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TswpBuymecoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkshitwithpAmazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M9Q4HNKRO2WA?ref_=wl_shareTo Learn more on my story;https://flow.page/tal...

The Megacanners return much chagrined this week, obliged as they are to retract last week's delusional good news. It turnsout that Merz's government is addicted to exporting arms into genocide zones after all. Still, there's slightly better news about dual nationality, thoroughly depressing news about unemployment benefit reforms, and devastating news for the great Berlin tradition of leaving boxes of random objects outside your front door. Plus, the unbeatable Japanese Suntory mega. Kanpai!     Come to our Podfest show next week!

Send us a textHave you ever stopped yourself from telling a story because you thought, “Well, that's not important enough” or “That's too small, nobody cares about that”? Or maybe you've worried that if you share your story, people will think you're being too vulnerable, too much, or (worst of all) a little bit “woe is me.”That's exactly why Sami and Angela were so excited to sit down with Sara Lohse on this episode of Be Freaking Awesome. They first met Sara at PodFest and instantly knew she needed to be on the show. Sara is a storyteller, podcast producer, and author who can take something as simple as a pen and turn it into a powerful connection moment that sticks with you. (And yes, she shares a pen story in this episode!)What makes Sara stand out is how approachable she makes storytelling feel. You don't have to have some giant, traumatic, dramatic event in your past to be a storyteller. You don't need to sound like a polished keynote speaker. You just need to notice the everyday moments and share them in ways that make people say, “Oh my gosh, me too.”In this conversation, listeners will discover:Why the everyday, ordinary stories connect better than the “headline” ones.How to strike the right balance between too many details and not enough.The mindset shift that takes the pressure off: your story isn't really about you.Practical tips for practicing storytelling without feeling like you're “performing.”And plenty of laughs about exaggerating stories just a little for effect.If you're a business owner, a coach, a speaker, or just someone who wants to connect more authentically, Sara's wisdom and humor will help you see your stories in a whole new light.So grab your coffee, pull up your notes app (or your favorite pen

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Judy Lane Boyer… a ghostwriter, writing coach, and storyteller who helps others bring their words to life. We first connected here in Austin, crossed paths again at Podfest, and after a couple of failed recording attempts, we finally made this conversation happen.Judy shares her powerful story of breaking free from a strict upbringing, finding faith in her own way, and embracing her passion for writing. We talk about what it means to trust the process, to pivot when life calls for it, and to honor the gifts that make us unique.From traveling to Oxford for a faith-based fantasy conference to launching her very first writing retreat, Judy's journey is a reminder that it's never too late to choose differently and create a new chapter for yourself.This episode is about courage, creativity, and listening to that quiet voice that says: “Why don't you let me handle it?”Take a listen. Let it inspire you. And maybe ask yourself… what story inside you is waiting to be told?Connect with Judy:

Republicamos a conversa gravada ao vivo em janeiro no Festival PodFest entre a escritora Isabela Figueiredo e o autor e jornalista Bernardo Mendonça. No podcast mais antigo do Expresso, que celebra agora dez anos de existência, a autora dos livros “Caderno de Memórias Coloniais”; “A Gorda” e “Um Cão no Meio do Caminho” fala sobre a imigração em Portugal, a vida que agora leva na aldeia e revela os temas do novo romance que anda a preparar: a morte do pai e, mais uma vez, as memórias de África. “Estou-me nas tintas se sou cancelada. Vou continuar a fazer aquilo que acho que deve ser feito.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This year's Podcast Movement convention marked a clear turning point in the evolution of the podcasting industry. I've been attending this event since 2018, and it has always been a valuable space for independent creators like us. But now, the shift toward corporate interests is more evident than ever. With the merger of Podcast Movement and Sounds Profitable, and the major announcement that the 2026 event will move from its usual summer schedule to New York City in September, it's clear the focus is shifting toward advertisers and industry execs. While this move might serve the broader industry well, it raises valid concerns for independent creators who may be priced out or feel sidelined.In a candid conversation with Tom Webster and James Cridland, I asked for clarity on where indie podcasters stand. Tom acknowledged that not everyone will fit into the new model, but there will still be space carved out for us. So while we're keeping an eye on how this transition plays out, we're also considering events like Podfest, which may better cater to creators.One of the most actionable takeaways came from producer Jay Yow, who stressed the importance of wearing headphones while recording. It's not just a technical recommendation—it's essential for clean audio. Poor sound can sabotage a good show, especially on remote platforms like Riverside or Squadcast. His argument? If Taylor Swift can wear headphones on camera, so can we.We also revisited the ongoing debate between video and audio podcasting. While video is great for discovery—especially on YouTube—audio remains the foundation. As Johnny Podcasts puts it: audio is your shoes, video is your socks. You can skip socks, but you can't skip shoes. Resources should go to audio first, especially since many YouTube “viewers” are actually just listening in the background.The biggest research insight came from Hal Rood and Tim Bronsil's "The Podcast Study," who revealed that most listeners focus on just three main podcasts, spending 75% of their time with their favorite. To stand out, we need to avoid wasting those critical first 30 seconds of our show. Open strong, skip the fluff, and immediately give listeners a reason to stick around. It's what separates a casual listener from a loyal one.Rob Walch of Libsyn reminded us again that shortcuts like “buying downloads” are scams. Real growth takes time, and authenticity matters more than inflated numbers. Despite claims of 4.6 million podcasts, only around 354,000 are active. The space is wide open if we're consistent and committed.Finally, we dove into SEO and PSO strategies. SEO helps our episodes show up in search results, while PSO focuses on discoverability within platforms like Apple and Spotify. To win at both, we need smart titling, backlinking, frequent publishing, and full show notes on our websites.All in all, the industry is changing fast—but with the right tools and mindset, there's still room for independent voices like ours to thrive.

The Podcast Super Friends discussed Jag's experiences at Podcast Movement 2025. For most of this episode you will hear a takeaway from Jag followed by the group discussing and debating the issue at hand. We talked about Podcast Movement's shift toward serving larger, corporate entities and its upcoming move to New York, raising concerns about the event's accessibility and relevance for independent creators. The hosts debate the impact of this change, the corporatization of podcasting conferences, and suggested alternative events like Podfest for indie podcasters. Jag reminded us about the importance of optimizing podcasts for SEO and platform search, and the growing role of AI in podcast production. We also went in on social media and word-of-mouth for discoverability, the need for high-quality content, and the value of networking at conferences. The episode closes with practical tips for podcasters and plans to attend future industry events, emphasizing adaptability in the evolving podcast landscape.

I got to meet Patrick Kelly this past January at Podfest, and we talked about doing this episode then - timing was just weird, but I think maybe it was just meant to happen now... Pat is the host of The Produce Industry Podcast and also runs The Produce Industry Network, on the side of his actual produce business and family life... I've said so many times that we should know where our food comes from, and I've talked about my jam business, and how I picked my own berries to feel better about the fruit I was using, and I'm so glad to have had the chance to get from the industry that I was doing things the hard way (that's SO me). I learned so much from this conversation - Pat has been working in this industry for 25 years, and before that, he heard all about it from his dad, so he KNOWS.  He set me straight on a couple of things, and gave a good overview of what the industry is really like, and it is wild! It takes a real passion and energy to work in an unpreserved food world - always hustling to make sure food isn't wasted, and I'm glad that Pat is there!The Produce Industry Podcast is exactly what it sounds like - all things produce, which, for me, at least, is fascinating. And the network puts out 5 episodes each week, so there's something for everyone. I just finished listening to their segment on The Lewellings, which takes place in the early 1800s and involves so much US history - they had the first commercial nursery in Iowa!
