Margy has a fancy new title and Jess is free from her gym membership and committing to her yoga practice. Then, Jess and Margy interview one of our #RockThePodcast listeners, Amber De La Garza, who we met at Podcast Movement! Finally, stay tuned for our favorite segment: “Would You Rather... Listen To?”   Interview with Amber De La Garza:   How did you find #RockThePodcast? Amber was in her learning phase about how to be a great host and guest Googling these terms, she came accross the show!   How many podcast do you listen to? Too many!! For some shows, Amber listens to every episode, and for other shows, she downloads only episodes that are specific to what she is currently learning for her business As a productivity specialist, Amber warns against information overload from too many podcasts Amber also categorizes her shows (she uses Stitcher for Android) Margy only subscribes to My Favorite Murder Jess has cut back the number of shows she subscribes to to limit info overload   When should entrepreneurs start their day and what is the ideal morning routine? Amber calls this “bookending your day” She recommends FOUR routines- so you can stay on track but still have the flexibility to address the unexpected The four routines are: personal morning routine professional morning routine (when you hit the office) evening routine (as you leave office) nighttime/personal bedtime routine Weave little habits into these four routines There is no RIGHT time for everyone to start the day; it depends on you, your natural routine and your lifestyle                   Mindfulness practice suggests that multitasking is NOT the best way to approach tasks. How do you feel? Amber has strong beliefs about multitasking She used to take pride in her ability, and now realizes it’s a myth What we call multitasking is actually “switch tasking” and is very inefficient It can be an unconscious stress crutch and also disrespectful to people around you   Tell us about your systems for your show, Productivity Straight Talk. Amber has been launched for 3 months She stays a few episodes ahead Amber uses Trello to organize her show info Amber creates content and has her team/systems do the rest   Would you rather...LISTEN TO?!

Jess is washing her walls with salt water to ward off negative energy, and Margy visits her first cat cafe in Brooklyn! They discuss the different styles of podcasts you can produce, and then do an interview with Jonathan Messinger, who produces the Adventures of Finn Caspian.   Different Kinds of Podcasts: The style that is right for you depends on your brand, style and interest! 1. Interview: Great for connecting with potential clients and bringing a variety of expertise to your audience. 2. Solo Show: You have to be really entertaining! Examples are Grammar Girl and School of Podcasting by Dave Jackson. Dave is an introvert, which may be part of why he is such an excellent solo podcaster! 3. Co-Hosted/Roundtable: We loved Guys We F%$#@, co-hosted by two comedians. Choose your co-host wisely. 4. Fiction: More like an audio book. Takes a lot of work to write the story! 5. Journalism: Examples are Serial and Casefile (Margy loves crime shows!) 6. News/Current Events: Not evergreen, but a great way to educate yourself about what’s happening. We love Congressional Dish, hosted by Jen Briney! 7. Fan Podcasts: PLEASE do one for #Rockthepodcast. Jess has been a guest on The Walking Deadcast!   Interview with Jonathan Messinger 1. How is it podcasting with your son? -Really fun -He is a very critical editor! -It’s very helpful because Jonathan can get feedback on the story before recording   2. What voice changer technology do you use? (Jonathan does all the voices in the show) -Plug ins: Waves Sound-Shifter, little Alter boy from Sound Toys, another Waves plug in called Morphoder   3. How did you come up with the idea for the show? -Was originally going to make a children’s book -Had the idea to do it as a podcast so the audience could be more involved   4. What is your writing process? -Procrastinate as long as possible -General outline of story, but episodes incorporate kids’ ideas that they write in   5. Where do you come up with story ideas? -Riff on elements of classic children’s books -Kids write in with ideas i.e. what animals live in space?   6. Do you ever feel weird sitting alone in your basement making alien noises? -Yes   7. Do people without kids listen to your show too? -Mostly for kids, but some jokes for the parents, too! -Geared towards 5-8 years old (Jessica’s 4 year old son loves it)   8. Tell us about leaving your job to podcast full time? -Really optimistic about monetizing -Audience growing steadily, at about 10,000 per episode right now -Not a lot of advertisers that are right for children -Created company called Gen Z Kids -Might pitch it as a kids’ TV show (Jess and Nathan would love to watch it!)   9. Why did your election episode make Jess cry?! -So bogged down, and his creativity felt stifled -Jonathan realized that he was overloading his kids with politics because he was so absorbed by it -It’s important to stay positive and creative, and let kids stay kids regardless of the political climate   Resources Mentioned: School of Podcasting with Dave Jackson Grammar Girl Guys We F*&%$ The Podcast Producers Serial Casefile Jen Briney Congressional Dish The Walking Deadcast Waves Sound-Shifter Little Alter Boy From Sound Toys Waves plug in called Morphoder The Wild Robot The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel http://www.kidslisten.org/ http://www.finncaspian.com/ https://twitter.com/finncaspian http://app.kidslisten.org/ @interviewconnections

Interview Connections' founder and CEO Jessica Rhodes talks about her upcoming book and the tips you need to #RockthePodcast and be a celebrity in your niche

It's not often that I say, I love today's guest, but in this case I most certainly do. I love what she is doing. I love the way she is doing it. And I love that our paths cross more times than anyone else I think I know online today. Back in 2007, she began her journey to where she is today by working in the position as Field Manager for Clean Water Action, where she directed, managed and trained a staff of up to 25 canvassers. and supervised the office manager in all administrative tasks. And quite honestly as well as I know her, I can totally see her doing this kind of thing, as she is doing a similar thing today although totally in a different environment. After that, her organisation skills were taken to the next level, whilst her communication skills went up several notches too, by stepping into one of the hardest environments of all. Knocking on doors and cold calling, canvassing political opinions and fund raising for the political wannabes campaign. So you can see that she can talk, can organise data, and likes nothing more than leading a high performing team that delivers big time for her clients. And now she is the leader of a team of amazing ladies at Interview Connections, the premier agency for booking guests onto podcasts across the world. She has taken all those dots gained over the last nine years, and created a company that has filled a need for podcasters across the world, which is the way to build huge success. Podcasters struggle to find guests, she has the connections, put the two together and job done. But of course there is so much more to it than that. So when did the idea come to her, and was it an epiphany angels singing moment in her life, or did she just stumble into something? And how did she feel when competition started springing up online, with others seeing her success and modelling the service that she was providing so successfully? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only, Interview Connections legend, Jessica Rhodes.
