Have you struggled to find the niche for your podcast? Today's guest is Brain Kane from the The Real Brian Show, former host of ProfitCast and ArrowSquad. When he started The Real Brian Show, he struggled with the whole "niche" issue and, as a result, struggled with how to define his podcast to others. Listen to his podcasting journey: [02:00] As a kid, Brian wanted to be a morning DJ, but when he began with radio, interest in radio was fading, and it didn't pay well. He tried figuring out podcasting in 2013, and discovered Cliff Ravenscraft's Podcasting A to Z which made it easy. Joshua first found Brian when Dave Jackson and Daniel J. Lewis separately mentioning ProfitCast. Joshua and Joshua connected regarding sponsorship possibilities. [04:30] How (or why) did Brian start podcasting? His first show was "Backstage Pass" (interviewing hip-hop artists) and then "TV Talk" (hosting podcasts about TV shows paying $80-90/hour). Brian took another course in 2014, researching how to grow an audience. Everyone charged for "the secret" and Brian interviewed people who had succeeded monetizing their podcast. [07:20] ProfitCast lasted 110 episodes and 2 years. None of Brian's peers were making the amount of money they wanted with their shows. Ironically, a published author and public speaker Brian listened to was not interesting. After 50 episodes, the guests were dispensing the same recycled advice. He was not seeing a massive impact and felt something was missing. [11:20] The successful people Brian was interviewing were not sharing everything, either on purpose or didn't know -- they were lucky. Podcasting can be like network marketing: if you're good at it and get in at the right time, you can be successful. They're extroverted AND good at selling. They claim anyone can be successful at podcasting (or network marketing) -- which isn't entirely true. Some people will never be "that good" at podcasting. [13:00] The people at the top have a very unique combination of skills: charisma, extroversion, entertainment, sales, and marketing. If you don't have that unique combination, you must get creative and succeed with your own skillset. However, don't try to emulate the greats like John Lee Dumas and Cliff Ravenscraft. Observed what worked for them and apply it within your own personality. [14:50] By 2016, podcasting was noisy compared to 2008, and Brian felt there was nothing new to say on ProfitCast. Since then, he's learned a few new things he could share. He's currently learning about achieving celebrity status, which can succeed in acquiring loyal listeners. Once you create a course or run advertising, you'll get the money. [16:30] Many podcasters feel they've said everything there is to say but feel the pressure to keep going. Brian announced the ending and explained the timeline of that final wrap-up. Some podcasters get frustrated/discouraged and either put out junk or they pod-fade. [18:45] If Brian ever restarted ProfitCast, he wouldn't be as nice with guests. He'd push for the answer he was looking for. Also, Brian isn't a niche person. For some reason, podcasting has become about niches. In any other form of media (i.e. Shark Tank), they hate niches. Brian is a Type 7 (Enthusiast) enneagram with a multitude of interests/talents and gets bored doing the same thing for too long. He usually won't finish a book because it doesn't keep his attention. [21:30] After ProfitCast, Brian decided he was done talking about podcasting. He also can't talk about one single TV show anymore. Variety in your life is okay. Three years into the Real Brian Show, it's been very tied to him as a person. He began the show wanting to talk about more but overthought it every step of the way. Just starting the radio station at the high school, morale went up. He's made people smile and helped them have a better life. People told him it needed more, but that led to further complicatations. [25:50] The Real Brian Show was created to talk about a variety of things, and help people have a happier day. The side aspect was "Unleashing the Superhero" to embrace who you really are and be continually better. They also embraced the idea of nerding out on your passions without apology. His big mistake was listening to too much advice and adjusting based on what others thought he should do. Brian has been bringing things back to his basic core elements plus his beliefs for the show: have a better day, and smile. [29:20] Adults get married, find a life of responsibilities, and they stop having fun. It's time to get balance in life. Also, follow your own journey. For example, Instagram may work well for others, but not you. Instagram may also work for you at a different point in time. [31:10] Brian is intentionally trying to break the mold. He observes what others are doing, what's working, but is his own trailblazer. He's not a teacher and wants to create a show that is valuable. [32:30] Podcasters are taught to "get the numbers up" into tens of thousands of listeners to get advertising. However, he has loyal listeners -- his friends he made because of the show. Just because people say you should niche (or teach) doesn't make that you should. Define what success looks like for you -- it's NOT always money or thousands of listeners. Are you influencing people and creating friendships? Do your words make an impact and change lives? You don't hear that message enough.

Ever wondered how you might create the life you want? We'll be the first to admit that the answer isn't one-size-fits-all, but the conversation in this episode of The Real Brian Show can help refocus the path to that life. When I choose to adopt these methodologies in my own life, I am surprised to find that the life I want while I'm living selflessly is very different from what I want when I'm living for myself. How does living differently change what we want? Perspective. In this Episode Tired of the negativity... Developing a new morning routine! New Music. Check out Danger Silent Ostrich meat, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cinnamon Cubano Welcome Kate Erickson! Attitude and how it can change the world. Keep the Bedroom Sacred I know where your mind went with that header! Reel it back in so that I can expound on this sacredness I speak of. Brian explains his new morning routine in this episode and it involves not keeping his cellphone in his bedroom. No more with the cellphone alarm clock! no more with the social media wake up ritual! What do you think you'd do instead when you wake up in the morning without technology within reach? If the routine itself isn't appealing to you, maybe science will change your mind. Several years ago, when smart phones really began to explode, we began to see a lot of fundamental aspects of our culture change. In addition to texting while driving, looking at your phone while crossing the street, and Googling (or asking Siri about) everything you don't know, the physical side effects of LCD screens began to emerge. According to many scientists, LCD screens have a legitimate negative effect on our health. Eye strain (including blinking less and what is called "Near Point Stress Syndrome"), headaches, sleepless nights... they are not just things Mom said to get us to put down our phones. Articles in everyday publications, such as Forbes, brought up the excellent point of LCD being non-existent throughout human history up until the last thirty years. Until the last ten years or so, the human body has never been exposed to the degree of exposure to LCD screens that we force on them now. Some scientists would posit that these screens go so far as to trick our bodies into thinking it's daylight when it may be the middle of the night. Have you ever crawled in bed, tired and exhausted, feeling like you could fall asleep within seconds... but then you pull out your phone, maybe for something as innocent as turning it to silent mode or setting the alarm, only to find a half-hour has passed and you've thoroughly perused Facebook? And at that point you're not even tired anymore? We have a problem! Bringing that distracting nonsense into the bedroom is not necessary. Try keeping the bedroom sacred, remove LCD screens from the bedroom for a couple weeks and see what changes. Create the Life You Want What an incredible conversation with Kate this week. I've heard Kate interviewed many times, not just by Brian too (she was a guest on Profitcast), and I'm always thrilled to hear her articulate aspects of herself that I am unable to put into words about myself. Early in this episode she talks about her behavior when entering a party or a group of people, and her approach deeply resonates with me. I followed up Brian's discussion of standing up for ourselves last week with a little commentary of my own and basically tried to get across that what finally clicked for me was understanding the connection I had to a group of people that enabled me to do what I was good at confidently. Not unlike Kate's own realization of, "What am I doing?" when carefully evaluating her approach to mingling, I realized, as far as networking and socializing is concerned, that what was missing for me, to be bold in the midst of strangers, was a lack of connection. I didn't know how I connected to all these people. Instead of it being a point of fear, I used it as a challenge. I rose up out of my introverted, I'd-rather-be-home-with-a-good-book nature and created the atmosphere I wanted. The entire interview with Kate is filled with so much excellent material that I don't even want to approach a recap of it all here. They talk about paying it forward, being nice to people and saying hello, and how that can fundamentally change your own day as well as perfect strangers. They talk about how attitude is the front-runner to perspective, how without a good attitude everything that happens results in a perspective with a murky lens. The picture they paint for us, the conversation as a whole, sets up this model of what it means to create the life you want. The life we want is full of choices; and that's not just, 'What do I want to do for a living?' or 'Should I get married?' But daily asking ourselves, 'What attitude am I going to wear today?' and 'How can I treat those around me with the respect they deserve?'

  La primera conversación. - Isaac se nos unió a la sesión de International Podcast Day. Podéis ver esta sesión bilingue aquí: https://firetalk.com/podcastday/episodes/SJRTXCsp  - Cómo empezó Podcast Pro y por qué Isaac se ha unido al equipo de organización de las JPod. - Las JPOD: Si todavía no sabeis lo que son: http://jpod16mlg.es/  - Craig pregunta: ¿Cómo puede ser que las JPod sean gratis?!!! ¿Habría que cobrar? - El curso de Isaac. - La diferencia entre la radio y el podcast. "La información es recuperable en el podcast. En la radio no." - Los audio libros.  "La penetración de la radio en España es de menos de un 50%." (Por eso vamos tan lentos con los podcasts. Ed.) - ¿Qué fue de aquellos LPs con cuentos? - La longitud del podcast. - Cómo crea Isaac sus podcasts. - La alternativa a Skype: http://source-elements.com/    y https://ipdtl.com/   Isaac Recomienda:  - Super hábitos. - Escuela de periodismo. (Acaba de empezar.) - Radio Lab (en English) y Lime Town (también en English).   Podeis encontrar a Isaac aquí: https://podcastpro.audio/  http://isaacbaltanas.com/  Post-interview Discussion: Pilar: Ironically, Isaac’s podcasts run for about 5 minutes, but his was the longest interview we’ve had with a single guest. Craig: Isaac rightly says that it’s crucially important to be constantly improving delivery on the mic in areas like phrasing, projection, intonation, engagement, the use of silence, etc. The Real Brian has also been emphasising this on his Profitcast podcast (which has now finished): http://www.profitcastuniverse.com/podcast-episodes/  Pilar: Podcasters should focus on mic technique, structured communication and understanding the medium in which you are operating. Isaac follows a concise script for his podcasts and maximises communication with his audience. A podcaster needs to find his/her voice and decide what kind of message and connection he/she wants to deliver. How intimate do you want to be with your audience? How much of your (personal) life do you want to talk about? How much of my opinion do I want to share with others? How many podcasting ‘rules’ do you want to break? Craig: Before you break the rules (in podcasting, music, art etc) you have to learn them and know what they are. Podcasting with co-hosts has helped improve delivery and find a voice. Pilar: When you podcast with a co-host, you start to find out what kind of podcaster you are. Craig: The length of podcast episodes is a subjective thing. Longer podcasts can be paused and continued later. A podcast can’t be too long, but it can be too boring. One of the most downloaded podcasts on the libsyn platform is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History which can be 3 or 4 hours long. His podcast once received over 350,000 downloads in a 24-hour period on May 6, 2015: http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/  Pilar: Length is part of format and length depends of what you are trying to communicate to your audience. Craig: It’s wonderful that JPod is still a free conference that promotes podcasting and education in and around the podcasting field. As Isaac said, this will probably change in the coming years and money will become more of a focus for podcasters. Pilar: Hopefully, there will be a wide spectrum and not two separate camps of monetize or not monetize. Craig: There’s nothing wrong with wanting to make a living from podcasting. Pilar: We don’t all have to be entrepreneurs. If you’re going to do anything for free, let people know! Free also has value and this shouldn’t be understated. Craig: It’s wonderful that Jpod is free for podcasters. Pilar: If JPod stops being free, it probably will lose attendees who are podcast listeners/fans.

This is the end. The end of the line for Profitcast. And though there might be no more developed road beyond this point, the journey is far from over. The journey of discovery, both into defining what it means to profit and in making an uber customizable model apply for a specific situation, is one that is always met with undeveloped terrain. No one model works perfectly for two people (or... it's just extremely unlikely). And so podcasters trailblaze as explorers did when settling in new places all over the world: when no road was paved, they made their own ruts. Read more...

These Profit and Success Stories from previous guests on Profitcast have been like a colorful montage of the podcast’s run.

It's a bittersweet installment of Profitcast this week. As excited as we all are for The Real Brian Show to begin and for Brian to let the Real Brian loose, there will be many things to miss about Profitcast. In the words of Geoffrey Chaucer, the late 14th Century poet who knew how to write about love and loss, "All good things must come to an end." (That's from Troilus and Criseyde if you're looking for some light summer reading.) Unlike the tragedies of our favorite dead poets and playwrights, the saga of The Real Brian will continue! This is real life, people. Read more... The post PC 106 | Profit and Success Stories Part 1 appeared first on Profitcast: Profit with Your Podcast.

The Real Brian has been behind the microphone for more than 20 years in radio, MC’ing, and now podcasting to name a few. Brian hosts multiple podcasts, including Profitcast, Podcasters Paradise, and Arrow Squad. AND he’s even, now, working on launching The Real Brian Show. In this episode, Brian and Stacy discuss the business of podcasting and what it takes to make it into a profitable business. Some highlights include: “I just wanted to be a radio DJ.” At minute 2:00, Brian talks about why he left his old business and how he got into podcasting. “Making money in podcasting is not easy. It takes time.” At minute 4:00, Brian talks about what it really takes to create a podcast that is profitable. The best way to market is to build relationships. At minute 15:00, Brian talks about the struggles he’s faced throughout his career when it comes to marketing effectively. Take some time to just “be.” At minute 17:00, Brian talks about taking a month off for the first time ever and how it changed his perspective. “I love the fact that I can make nothing or unlimited.” At minute 25:00, Brian talks about why he loves being an entrepreneur.

Who is your podcast really about? Is it about you? Is it about your listeners? This is the topic Brian tackles in this week's episode of Profitcast! Reminding us of Brian Ibbot's mantra, "Listeners come for the content and stay for the host," The Real Brian takes a closer look at what this shocking and outrageous statement, that our podcast is ALL about us, is really getting at! It seems that there is a healthy balance between acknowledging our listeners deserve respect and that our content should honor the reason they found us in the first place while also realizing that, ultimately, without us there would be no podcast.

Mindset. Mindset, mindset, mindset. Why do we keep coming back to this topic? Because it doesn't just matter, it is and can be pivotal in all our endeavors. This is more than positive thinking. Sometimes positive thinking is akin to the 19th century writer and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky's observation of a white polar bear: "Try to pose for yourself this task: not to think of a polar bear, and you will see that the cursed thing will come to mind every minute" (1863). The stronger the focus is on trying to stay positive, the more annoying it becomes. Mindset isn't about a singular focus, it's about a manner of living, which Brian and Kate beautifully emphasize in this installment of Profitcast. Read more...

As Brian and I were talking about what type of discussion would be useful concerning co-hosts, I thought about the incredible interviews he's had over the last 100 episodes of Profitcast and how many of them concern the importance of being prepared prior to podcast launch. While the scale of criticality between a podcast launch and an Apollo launch is almost incomparable, it does expose the fact that there will inevitably be things that go wrong after a launch, in spite of extensive preparation and checklists.
