Ex computer scientist, former chef, and finance professional. His career trajectory is indeed unusual. Coming up later this year is the largest podcast conference in the APAC region.

All the experience in the world still doesn't mean you're going to have an easy time creating and launching a podcast. We all hear the phrase “It's harder than it looks” quite a bit when referring to this massive medium. With your podcast, like anything else, focusing on your strengths is the way to go.

As you can see, Elizabeth's experience is a bit different than others we've interviewed on this show. I know absolutely nothing about the clay brick, block, paver and roof tile industry, but she sure does. Besides being a big deal in her sector, Elizabeth is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and Chair of the Building Products Innovation Council. She holds a B.Bus from UTS, a Masters in International Business from Macquarie, and has recently completed senior leadership courses at Harvard Business School.

She tells us some of the fears she's had to overcome and why being a leader in her industry has helped fuel her perseverance.

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.

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.

But she didn't always. Like most entrepreneurs, Steph kind of made it up as she went along.  She founded StephTaylor.co after her first business just didn't pan out the way she expected it to. StephTaylor.co is a virtual hub that helps online entrepreneurs launch and relaunch their online courses, memberships, digital products and podcasts.  And it turned out she was really amazing at creating businesses. And she was really amazing at showing other people how to do the same. But even with all this massive success, she still had that nagging little voice in the back of her head telling her she wasn't good enough. The voice would shake her sense of worth, even if she knew better. In fact, she still has to tell that same voice to shut up, even today. Today's episode is Part 2 of Steph and Ronsley's mic switch-up. To celebrate 300 episodes of Steph's podcast "Socialette", Steph asked our very own Ronsley, to interview her on her show. In the second part of their conversation, Steph tells us all about her marketing concepts. They are completely unique to her strengths. She also touches on tracking your social media returns and why she always leaves lots of white on her calendar. Take a listen to the conclusion of this fun interview.

Have you ever started a project and it just didn't work out the way you planned? How did that feel? Our podcasts and businesses are our babies. If the time should come to change direction or call it quits, how do you stop yourself from feeling the sting of failure? 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. Steph Taylor is a podcast superstar and launch strategy queen. One day Steph gave up sugar. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But, what she quickly found out was there weren't many tasty treats for people like her. That's when she had a fantastic business idea. Steph developed SugarFree Box, the Australian health food subscription box. As a solopreneur, she did everything herself. Handpicking products, packing up hundreds of orders, and shipping them off for customers to enjoy. Even though the business was gaining traction, it became clear that it just wasn't sustainable.  Steph's new apartment was essentially her warehouse. She didn't have the funds to outsource tasks. And worse still, all that work was wreaking havoc on her health. It was time to call it quits. That sense of failure was something she would have to come to terms with. Today, Steph is taking the online marketing space by storm. She is the founder of StephTaylor.co. It's a virtual hub that helps online entrepreneurs launch and relaunch their online courses, memberships, digital products and podcasts. Her goal is to help people have a more significant outreach, grow their impact, create more profit, and have more freedom in their businesses and their lives.  In today's episode, we're switching things up. To celebrate 300 episodes of Steph's podcast "Socialette", she asked our very own Ronsley, to interview her on her show. Socialette is a bite-sized online marketing show for business owners. It's chock full of memorable guests and marketing golden nuggets.  Steph may have been nervous in this interview, but she totally nailed it. She gave us some insight into her entrepreneurial journey and her new life as a fully-fledged podcaster.  Ronsley and Steph talk about podcast introduction etiquette and the stark realities of entrepreneurship. They look at the psychological workings of an entrepreneur and why sometimes it's often best to let some things go.  Other snippets in this episode: Why Steph feels vulnerable being interviewed in front of her listeners The welcome process and why you need to make an excellent first podcast impression How would Steph introduce herself at a BBQ?

Sometimes we start out in life with a picture of how things are supposed to be. And then fate deals us a completely different hand. Even if you fell into podcasting as an alternative, or because your Plan A failed, don't take it for granted. Podcasting can broaden your horizons and open up a whole new world.  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. Emma Gunavardhana wanted to work for glossy magazines.  Emma thought she knew what her life would end up like. She'd work for a fancy beauty magazine for twenty years or so. She'd interview and hang out with famous celebrities and fashion icons. And she'd be happy and content. Well, that didn't exactly pan out, at least not in the way she had originally imagined. Sure, she did end up working for a couple of fancy magazines for quite a while. But it didn't exactly check the box the way she had expected it to. And that's ok. In fact, it's more than ok. It's amazing. Because now Emma is the host of The Emma Guns Show with an audience of more than 8 million listeners. Working as Beauty Editor at OK! magazine for ten years gave Emma a built-in network when she decided to start her podcast. Writing detailed features for so long also gave her the feel for interviewing. What she didn't expect to happen was to have her horizons broadened so widely.  Podcasting gives you quite a different platform than a magazine. Writing for a beauty magazine kept Emma's topics and outreach somewhat limited. However, once she had her own podcast, she realised how much you can push the envelope with candid conversation. In this episode, Ronsley and Emma get into the natural evolution process of podcasts. They discuss the power in conversation and how it not only impacts the listeners, but the host as well. Emma lays out the unconventional approach she has to advertising, and why she's still doing the dirty work herself. This is an excellent conversation for people who are afraid podcasting will box them into a specific niche. It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, podcasting is a great way to explore your interests and play with your destiny. Other fun stuff in this episode: Why it's ok to admit you're not cut out for something The natural evolution of The Emma Guns Show Why consistency is the key to success What's with all the episodes on hormones? Why you should always keep your DMs open Travelling through people's stories  Why Emma doesn't let herself get bogged down in the metrics How the podcast has changed Emma's habits Why you should focus more on getting quality guests than anything else Links: The Emma Guns Show Emma's Website Emma on Instagram Emma on LinkedIn The Tim Ferriss Show The Emma Guns Show: Learning how to Breath with James Nestor  

Starting a podcast is exciting. You're probably filled with a million different ideas and want to try them all right away. Hold your horses! Sometimes simple is best. Getting too complex too early may make your podcast inaccessible for those that could benefit from it the most. You have to make your podcast work for you and your listeners. 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. Colin Gray likes to keep it simple. Colin fell in love with podcasting in 2008, before it was really a thing. He founded The Podcast Host and Alitu: The Podcast Maker in order to share that love with others and help them create their own content. He started his career in Astrophysics, believe it or not, before realising the math world just wasn't for him.  ThePodcastHost.com is now one of the oldest and biggest podcasting blogs on the web. It has led to opportunities for Colin to host several different podcasts, including The Podcraft Podcast, as well as a successful YouTube channel. In this episode, Ronsley and Colin get into what Colin sees as newbie podcasters' biggest mistake: getting too complicated too early. He breaks down why he always suggests releasing your podcast in short 8-10 episode seasons, instead of working all year long to put out content that may not be working for you, or your audience. They also touch on some creative ways to engage your audience in authentic, effective ways.   Also in the episode: Colin's introduction to podcasting Why Colin doesn't necessarily think you have to be an expert to teach Why he recommends recording your podcast in seasons Why you should always make sure you're addressing your listeners' problems Who Colin thinks podcasts are best for Colin's old-school approach to content Why you should always reply to your listeners' emails   Links: Colin on LinkedIn The Podcast Host on Twitter Colin on Instagram The Podcast Host Alitu: The Podcast Maker Colin's YouTube Channel Listen to The Podcraft Podcast

What if you could transform your life for the better? If you could pivot 180 degrees from an old way of living and jump headfirst into a much more fulfilling one, you'll see that it takes courage, constant adjustment and a whole heap of trust- especially in yourself.  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. This week Ronsley chats with his good buddy, Chris Dufey. Chris is a fitness trainer, podcaster, author, international speaker, ice cream enthusiast and a budding documentary filmmaker.  In 2014, Chris quit the gym. Why? Because he wasn't part of a life worth living anymore.  Chris had spent eight years building his career as a personal trainer. His diary was always full and the money coming in per client was enviable- he had definitely made it. Even though he loved the success, something just wasn't right. It wasn't until he realised that he was missing precious moments with his daughter because of his persistent and gruelling schedule that the guilt set in. He needed to mix things up drastically if he wanted to have a fulfilling life.  Chris is now the CEO and Founder of Coaches Cartel, a multi-million dollar company that helps other personal trainers win in all aspects of their careers and lives. Alongside his business, he also hosts the Ask The Pro Podcast, which helps people build a business, lifestyle and freedom. His most recent documentary project, Fit Pro Documentary is now available to stream for free.  Ronsley and Chris explore how to create a life worth living, and the drastic changes Chris had to get through to reach that point. They take a look at why liking yourself is so important, and how Chris left everything behind (literally) to fly off into another world.  Also in this episode: Allowing yourself to get it wrong Looking at the things you can control How Chris created a new life in Dubai Why you need to ask the right questions What is the story you are telling yourself Why everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin The struggle with authenticity and why you shouldn't be ‘true' yourself Why you must build up your skillset The blessing and curse of wanting to improve  Links: Chris Dufey: Website Coaches Cartel: Website Fit Pro Documentary  Chris Dufey: YouTube Ask The Pro Podcast: Podcast Chris Dufey: Facebook Chris Dufey: Books

Whether you work with a team, or have a team work for you, it's essential to know how to work together effectively. Podcasts take a village, but it can quickly become a “too many cooks in the kitchen” scenario if communication and organization isn't a priority. 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. This week, Ronsley talks with the incomparable Trivinia Barber, host of the insightful podcast Diary of a Doer and founder of Priority VA. Trivinia has always been a “doer”, she doesn't know any other way. But she didn't necessarily think she was capable of owning her business, she just thought she was destined to run one.  Over the years of working up the corporate ladder, Trivinia realized she was constantly overworking herself. Sure, she was amazing at organizing and getting stuff done, but she was wearing herself thin. It wasn't until she started delegating work to team members that she realized this was the key to having it all- letting go of the reins and allowing others use their skills to give her own a rest, so she could focus on what she really wanted to in life.  Ronsley picks Trivinia's brain about the importance of her team when it comes to producing her podcast. They chat about the impact a good writer can have on creating engaging content for her show, and the process they have together that works for them. They discuss the kind of environment that allows all team members to thrive and how to incorporate in your own business and podcast. Other valuable tidbits in this episode: Trivinia's obsession with organization and prepping Why being reliable equates to trust The content extraction process between Trivinia and her writer Why she considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur” Why she gives herself bossy messages on her calender The hilarious story of acquiring Trivinia.com How she's able to do things she's scared to do with her husband Chris's support The importance of guard rails Links: Trivinia on LinkedIn Priority VA Trivinia.com Airtable
