Ever wondered how to navigate the wild world of podcast sponsorship? Well, grab your favorite snack and settle in because we're diving deep into everything you need to know about snagging that sweet sponsorship deal. Picture this: you're in a Facebook group, and someone's practically begging for help because they're clueless about how to answer a potential sponsor's questions. Yup, that's our starting point! We'll dig into the nitty-gritty of what sponsors want, how to present your podcast's value, and why you should treat your audience like gold (because they are!). Spoiler alert: stuffing your show with ads is like throwing glitter on a garbage fire—totally unnecessary and just plain messy! We also talk about the delicate balance of ads in your podcast. Ever heard of the 10% rule? Well, it's a thing! Ads shouldn't overwhelm your content; otherwise, you risk losing your audience faster than you can say ‘skip ad'. We'll show real-life examples of how many ads are too many and why relevant ads can enhance the listening experience. And let's not forget about the cash—how do you price your sponsorship deals? It's all about charging what you're worth and keeping that win-win vibe going. By the end, you'll be ready to strut into your next sponsorship negotiation like a boss!Takeaways: If you're diving into podcast sponsorship, get ready for some wild questions, folks! Understanding your audience is crucial, because irrelevant ads are like bad breath at a party. Keep your ads to a minimum; too many will have your listeners hitting that skip button. Finding the perfect sponsor is like dating; make sure you both vibe with each other's goals! Remember, your relationship with your audience is worth way more than you think, so charge accordingly! Don't just take any random ad; find something you actually love so your enthusiasm shines through!

Algorithms are like that friend who bails you out one minute and then ghost you the next. They can help you reach your audience or throw your content into the digital abyss. This episode looks into the wild world of serving both our lovely audience and those picky, mood-swinging algorithms. We're talking about how they can boost small creators or stomp them into the ground based on some arbitrary rules they change on a whim. So, grab your favorite snack and let's break down the double-edged sword of algorithms – they give us exposure but can just as quickly snatch it away!Takeaways: Algorithms can be your best friend, but also your worst enemy, so watch out. Knowing your audience is great, but knowing the algorithm is like a second job. Instagram's new algorithm favors smaller accounts, but will it actually help? Who knows! Content might be king, but the algorithm's the one holding the crown, so please bow. If you think you can ignore the algorithm and still thrive, good luck with that! Just remember, if the algorithm changes, your content could dry up faster than your last relationship. Mentioned in this episode:Ready to start your podcast the right way?

If you're sitting there sweating bullets about diving into the world of podcasting because technology gives you the heebie-jeebies, relax, my friend. The real villain stopping you isn't the tech; it's your brain playing tricks on you. Seriously, we chat about how the fear of technology is just a fancy excuse to avoid trying something new. Trust me, if you turn down the radio when your phone rings, you can totally handle mixing audio for your podcast. It might seem tough at first, but like everything else, it gets easier once you give it a shot. You've Been Thinking of Starting a PodcastEver sat down and thought, "Man, I totally want to start a podcast, but my tech skills are basically at a toddler level?" Yeah, I get it. We've all been there, staring at our devices like they might bite us or something. But here's the kicker: it's not the technology that's holding you back, it's your brain. Seriously. In this episode, we dive into the real culprit behind your podcasting fears. It's not some high-tech wizardry that's out of your reach; it's the mindset that says, "I can't do this." We share some examples, like a client with 40 tabs open on Chrome—because who hasn't been there? We explore how the fear of tech is often just the fear of trying, and trust me; we've got the laughs and the insights to help you kick that fear to the curb. It's all about realizing that everything seems hard until you actually do it, so let's get you podcasting, shall we?Takeaways: Don't let technology scare you; you're probably overthinking it—it's simpler than you think! If you tried podcasting before and found it hard, give it another shot; things change! Being afraid of tech is common, but remember, you learned to tie your shoes, right? Everything feels hard until you get the hang of it, so just dive in and start! You already mix audio when you turn down the radio for a call; you can podcast! Seriously, if you can save a photo in an email, you can upload a podcast episode! Mentioned in this episode:Ready to start your podcast the right way?

On this episode, I want to give you the Podcast Talent Coach best of 2024. These are the most downloaded episodes of the past year. IT WAS QUITE THE YEAR 2024 was quite the year for me and Podcast Talent Coach. We've seen many ups and downs. At the end of 2023, I received and email from my mentor that he was fighting cancer. He would lose that battle in February. That started the year with a kick to the gut. Over the past twelve months, I've been able to help dozens of entrepreneurs launch their podcast. We have grown quite a few with the Audience Explosion Blueprint. In September, we had another fantastic Podcast Profits Summit. And I've worked with my coach to refine my business and make my content and focus even stronger. I can't thank you enough for being here on this journey. It was been an amazing year full of realizations, learning and love. This road we are on can get a little crazy. Keep reminding yourself that it's all about the journey and not the destination. Let's take a look back over the biggest and most popular episodes of the past year. Maybe you missed them. Perhaps you want to revisit the nuggets in each. Whatever the case, here are the most popular episodes of 2024. BEST OF #7 Starting the list at number seven is Connecting With Your Personality – PTC 488. On this episode, I want to share with you a session I did recently during my Audience Explosion Blueprint Workshop. This was a powerful 3-day workshop where I helped a group of podcasters build their strategy to grow their audience. This particular session will help you develop your personality and begin building powerful relationships with your audience. Here is a sample of that episode. "If all you're doing is speaking to the 3% that are in the market to buy today to fix the solution today, you're missing 97% of your market." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/488. BEST OF #6 The episode hitting the list at number six is What is Your Biggest Challenge? – PTC 483 I recently asked that recently of podcasters on my email list, "What is your biggest challenge?" On this episode, I'll help you through a few of them. Here are a few of the questions I received... I'm trying all the things to increase downloads. My biggest challenge is getting the guests to share the episode. My biggest barrier is lack of courage to put myself out there. Learning to build an interactive community around the podcast is my biggest challenge. I'd love to have a strategy in place before I launch, then I know what I'm aiming for! How do you choose a podcast name? Here is a sample of that episode. "Remember, community comes from relationships, which is why I'm such a huge proponent of building relationships with your podcast." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/483. BEST OF #5 Number five on the list of the Best of 2024 is Podcast Promotion Questions – PTC 480 When it comes to growing our podcast, I get many questions about podcast promotion. How do we get in front of new listeners and invite them into our show? On this episode, we'll answer a variety of questions about podcast promotion. Here is a sample of that episode. "Studies show that the average podcast listener consumes about 7 episodes, 7 podcasts, different podcasts every week. And about 30% consume 11 or more different shows a week." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/480. BEST OF #4 Number four on the list is Dave Jackson – Profit From Your Podcast – PTC 485 Many podcasters want to create a profit from their podcast. However, most lack a strategy to generate revenue and grow their business. Dave Jackson is the host of the School of Podcasting podcast. He is also author of the best seller Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies To Turn Listeners Into a Livelihood. He launched the School of Podcasting in 2005 and was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. Dave joined me on the Podcast Profits Summit to talk about overcoming your challenges without spending thousands of dollars. I want to share that session with you today. Here is a sample of that episode. "When I moved into this house had no carpet, and it was just this giant echo chamber. So the first thing I did was, like, okay. We need we need a carpet. We need some rug, something like that." "There's a really popular microphone called the Blue Yeti. And technically, it's not a bad microphone, but what most people overlook is that thing can pick up, if you want, in every single direction. Well, that's just screaming, pick up the neighbor's lawnmower and everything else." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/485. BEST OF #3 Making the list of the Best of 2024 from Podcast Talent Coach is Cindy J. and Making Money – PTC 479 When coaches come to me for assistance, one of the most common challenges is making money with their podcast. Most are using their show incorrectly and spending time in the wrong places with the wrong activities. There is a misconception about podcasting. You make money WITH your podcast, not FROM your podcast. I want to help you spend more of your time on money making activities. Cindy J. Holbrook the Visibility Wiz joins me on the show today. She guides entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive as you go up the ladder from being the best-kept secret to Trusted and In-Demand Authority. Cindy J. has been coaching since 2009. She has been my coach and she's one of the best in the business. On this episode, Cindy shows us how to spend our time on the right money making activities, so we can generate revenue with our podcast. Here is a sample of that episode. "If you start doing something every day, you make sure you do at least one money making activity Monday through Friday or whatever your work days are. You're going to start seeing an increase in everything, in visibility, influence, and profits." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/479. BEST OF #2 One spot from the top in at #2 on the list is Turn Your Podcast Into A Book – PTC 477 Are you ready to turn your podcast into a book? Each week you work hard to spread your message and share your vision. If you produce an episode a week, you'll have 50 episodes in just under a year. With four pages of show notes (or 1,200 words), you could turn your podcast into a book. But, why would you want to go through all the work to write a book? There are six big reasons. We dive into those reasons on this episode. There is great news. You don't need to write the entire book yourself. Steven Leapley is an executive ghostwriter from Southern California. He helps creative people like you write their book. Steven joins us today to help us discover how to turn our podcast into a book. Here is a sample of that episode. "But I think the the biggest challenge is... it comes down to to honestly fear. There's you know, to to pull the trigger and actually write your book. You know, it's like, there there's a there's a fear of of is it gonna get finished? There's a fear of am I gonna get taken for, you know, taken? You know, there's a fear of am I good enough?" You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/477. BEST OF #1 That brings us to the most popular Podcast Talent Coach episode of 2024. Number one on the list is Why You Can't Grow Your Podcast – PTC 481 If you're like most podcasters, one of your biggest challenges you want to overcome is how to grow your podcast. I hear it often.

Here is a sample of that episode. "Everybody tells me I want a bigger audience, and I go, what are you doing? Well, nothing really. Well, the audience isn't just gonna show up. They're not just gonna come knock on your door and say, hey, we're here. Where's the show? You have to do the work." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/481.

As we celebrate 500 episodes of Podcast Talent Coach, I want to share with you six mentors who have shaped my journey over the past 10 years. LEARNING FROM MENTORS I learned long ago that I don't know everything and never will. Every experience is an opportunity to learn something. Conferences and conventions are always such a powerful experience for me. Many people say they rarely go to the session and instead have conversations in the halls. I can understand that. But, I think they are missing the power of the collective mind. Mingling in the halls during a conference will definitely grow your network. It has a place in your business. However if you skip all the sessions, you are missing ideas that could take your business to an entirely new level. We would attend the Country Radio Seminar every year in radio. I would travel with my music director for the station. During the day, we would take in all the sessions of the conferences. At night, we would split up to attend events and network with artists and record labels. From the sessions, we would learn new ideas to implement with the stations. At night, we would network with people who could help us implement those ideas. Then one day our company decided it wasn't necessary for both of us to be there. That single decision cut our learning in half and diminished the networking we were able to do. The company thought the conference was nothing but a party. It may have been for those who spent all of their time in the halls. When you're learning from mentors and expanding your thinking, things are possible beyond your imagination. These six mentors helped my achieve levels bigger than I every dreamed. It is my hope that these nuggets spur some new ideas for you as well. DAN MILLER The first is the mentor who has influenced my life the longest. Dan Miller's book and podcast "48 Days To The Work You Love" inspired me to follow my dream and start my own business. Dan is author of the New York Times best-selling 48 Days To The Work You Love and Wisdom Meets Passion, No More Dreaded Monday and An Understanding Heart. His 48 Days Podcast consistently ranks in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide and his 48DaysEagles.com community is viewed as an example around the world for those seeking to find – or create – the work and the life they love. His podcast sits at the center of his multiple streams of income. Unfortunately, we lost Dan in January of this year after a very brief battle with cancer. Dan's attitude through that entire struggle was impressive and uplifting. He kept asking as he always did, "What does this make possible?" Dan saw the silver lining in every cloud. He was an amazing man and a mentor to me in so many ways. Dan joined my on Episode 466 to discuss multiple streams of income. You can find the episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/466. DAN'S NUGGETS Here are a few nuggets from that episode. Resilience in the Face of Adversity: "When we hit Covid and I couldn't have live events for a couple years there, that had been a big resource for us, a big revenue stream, but not being able to have live events, it didn't really affect us. My revenue continued to go up because we made content available to people in other ways that they could experience, even if they didn't come to Franklin, Tennessee."— Dan Miller 00:24:39 – 00:25:03. Life Reassessment in Midlife Careers: "What surprised me is I had doctors and dentists and pastors and engineers and accountants showing up and why you guys here? And it was like, well, we're doing okay. You know, everybody looking in from the outside to see us is doing okay, but I don't think this is it."— Dan Miller 00:26:29 – 00:26:45. How to Turn Your Writing into Income: "How do you take just a raw idea and turn it into real income? But those came directly from people asking, how do I do that?"— Dan Miller 00:30:42 – 00:30:50. Easy Income Streams for Podcasters: "The easiest next step is coaching. Because if you have a podcast and you're talking about personal development and growth or business success or how to scale or those things, you're inevitably going to have people ringing your doorbell saying, can I talk to you?"— Dan Miller 00:44:47 – 00:45:43. I'll always cherish everything I've learned from Dan and all the inspiration he provided. You can find more about Dan at https://www.48days.com. MARC MAWHINNEY The next mentor who has been a big influence on me over the past decade and 500 episodes was one of my very first coaches. Marc Mawhinney is a lifelong entrepreneur who helps coaches get more clients without paid advertising! He achieves this with his coaching programs, his podcast Natural Born Coaches, his Facebook group The Coaching Jungle, and his Secret Coach Club. Marc has been a speaker at events like Social Media Marketing World, frequently makes media appearances and contributes for Entrepreneur.com. He is a master at joint venture partnerships. I discovered Marc through his Coaching Jungle Facebook group and he soon became my coach. He taught me the power of sending a daily email. Our coaching sessions helped me refine my offers and get my business to the next level.  Marc appeared on episode 333 with me to discuss the power of joint venture partnerships. You can find the episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/333. MARC'S GEMS Here are a few gems Marc shared during our conversation. Stand Firm on Your Beliefs: "Sure, you're going to turn some people off, but you're going to attract the people who you want to attract, and that's exactly what you do."— Marc Mawhinney 00:16:25 – 00:16:31. The Importance of Community for Coaches: "Whatever you do, you need a place to gather your potential clients. You know, people to get to know, like and trust you."— Marc Mawhinney 00:20:27 – 00:20:34. Viral Topic - The Power of Community: "I can't count how many times someone said to me, mark, I love your Facebook group. It's helped me so much the last few years."— Marc Mawhinney 00:20:55 – 00:21:44. I can't thank Marc enough for pointing me in the right direction with his coaching. Find Marc in his Coaching Jungle Facebook group. CINDY J. HOLBROOK One day Marc was invited to participate in a giveaway. It didn't fit in his marketing plan at the time, so he sent the organizer to me feeling we might work well together. That organizer was Cindy J, The Visibility Wiz. Not only did I participate in her giveaway, Cindy soon became my next coach and she's one of the best in the business. Cindy guides entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive as you go up the ladder from being the best-kept secret to Trusted and In-Demand Authority. She has been coaching since 2009. Through our work together, Cindy taught me the power of visibility, how to use giveaways to grow my list, and ways to partner with others.  She is simply an all around great person. I love her to death and really appreciate all she has given me over the years. Cindy was on episode 479 of Podcast Talent Coach to talk about visibility. You can find the episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/479. CINDY'S SUGGESTIONS Here are a few things we learned in that episode. From Social Services to Coaching Success: "But I have all this knowledge of the online world that I utilized to get clients. And, I was able to leave social services within 2 years of becoming a coach, and that's when I started attending a lot of events. And people were constantly coming up to me."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:20:23 – 00:20:41. Title: Maximizing Advertising DollarsQuote: "My advertising dollars goes towards participating in giveaways or speaking in front of people, you know, being a sponsor at events. That's where my advertising dollars go because I get more return on my money that way."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:35:04 – 00:35:18. The Power of Collaboration: "I didn't start collaborating with other experts till, 2014. And that's what finally pushed me over to 6 figures was whenever I started collaborating with other experts."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:39:11 – 00:39:24. How to Boost Your Business Today: "If you start doing something every day, you make sure you do at least 1 money making activity Monday through Friday or whatever your workdays are. You're going to start seeing an increase in everything, in visibility, influence, and profits."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:42:44 – 00:42:58. Cindy is amazing when it come to leveling up your visibility. Find her online at https://www.cindyjholbrook.com. IMAN AGHAY After I was working with Cindy for a few months, she suggest I attend Collaborate. It was an amazing 3-day event to meet JV partners. This one event changed my business more than I could ever have imagined. At the time, Collaborate was run by Iman Aghay and Rich German. Iman has been so influential in so many aspects of my business. Through this event, Iman taught me how to properly joint venture with others. He has taught me how to create my courses and events. More importantly, Iman showed my how to sell what I do. Iman Aghay is a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, and a nine-time #1 best-selling author. He is best known as the co-founder of Actionera, a platform that assists experts in building mobile apps to enhance their income and impact. Iman hasn't been on the podcast. However, I did a deep dive into finding promotional partners using everything Iman taught me. You can find that in episode 391 at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/391. IMAN'S INSPIRATION Here are few takeaways from that episode. How to Skyrocket Your Podcast Growth: "Just imagine how your podcast and your business could grow if you could find 40 partners who would be willing to promote you to their fans, to their tribe, to their followers."— Erik K. Johnson 00:01:07 – 00:01:14. The Best Part of Pitch Refinement: "But the best part is everybody in the circle's on the same page with regard to who talks, what they talk about, how long they talk. There's no pressure. You don't need to awkwardly walk up to anyone to strike up a conversation like you would in a at a networking event."— Erik K. Johnson 00:06:20 – 00:06:38. Power of Partnerships: "I've been able to grow my email list from about 500 to nearly 4,500. My podcast downloads have doubled. I've made affiliate commissions from promoting those partners, and I had partners promote my courses and my coaching to their audience as well just to help me grow."— Erik K. Johnson 00:10:08 – 00:10:30. The Power of Partnership: "If you wanna go fast, travel alone. If you wanna go far, travel together."— Erik K. Johnson 00:10:53 – 00:11:01. Iman Aghay is an amazing online marketer. He is also the co-owner of Actionera. It is a platform to help you build your own mobile app. Find details on Collaborate at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/collaborate. You can learn more about Actionera at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/actionera and find Iman at https://www.imanaghay.com. JIM PADILLA While I was attending one of the Collaborate events, Iman invited a guest speaker to that event. That guest talked a lot about actually making sales. He was Jim Padilla and he is my fifth mentor on this journey. Jim is a Global Impact Strategist & Investor and the founder and CEO of Gain The Edge. It's a done-for-you provider of industry-leading sales systems and unicorn sales professionals. Jim co-heads Gain the Edge with his amazing wife, Cyndi Padilla. The two of them have generated over quarter billion dollars in sales for a long line of high-level entrepreneurs. Jim's mission is to help purpose-driven thought-leaders untangle themselves from the day-to-day minutiae of seeking leads and sales, so they're free to amplify their impact - while scaling their business! Shortly after getting into Jim's world, he became my coach. Jim helps me build my sales systems and strategies. I've gone from being an entrepreneur to actually running a business. The transformation has been amazing. Jim joined me on episode 465 to discuss making sales. If you want to increase your sales, find this episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/465. JIM'S GENIUS Here are few nuggets from my conversation with Jim. From Struggle to Success: "And little did I know that, you know, 20 years later, I'd be making 1,000,000 of dollars teaching other people how to read the room and how to bend influence in their direction so you can be asset instead of a threat to the people who show up in your world, and then they wanna be able to buy from you and give you their credit card."— Jim Padilla 00:12:06 – 00:12:58. The Core of True Expertise: "What people need to dive into is they understand that you're an expert, but they really need to understand who you are as a person and why what you do matters."— Jim Padilla 00:19:07 – 00:19:11. Seeing Opportunities in Chaos: "All they see is all the problems that are in the world are truly just opportunities waiting to be solved if you know how to talk about it and know how to articulate it and to see things differently."— Jim Padilla 00:24:57 – 00:25:04. Maximizing Your Existing Network: "Most obvious buyers you have are the people who already bought from you."— Jim Padilla 00:44:07 – 00:44:10. Jim and Cyndi are amazing.

In 2013 I was writing articles about podcasting for New Media Expo. Out of the blue, I got an email from Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting. He was interested in having a conversation to see how we might support each other. During that conversation, Dave said he loved my articles. Then he asked why I didn't have a podcast of my own. Great question, Dave. If I'm writing about podcasting, shouldn't I have a show of my own. Shortly after that conversation, this show was born. And our friendship has continued over the years. Dave Jackson launched the School of Podcasting in 2005. He was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. He is the author of the book, Profit from Your Podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood. Over the years he has launched over 30 different podcasts with over 4 million downloads. Dave and I currently co-host the Podcast Review Show where we help podcasters improve. You can find that show at https://www.podcastreviewshow.com. Dave was a guest on episode 485 to talk all things podcasting. You can listen to that episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/485. DAVE'S BRILLIANCE Here are a few takeaways from my conversation with Dave. Viral Topic: The Importance of Mic Technique: "When I moved into this house had no carpet, and it was just this giant echo chamber. So the first thing I did was, like, okay. We need we need a carpet. We need some rug, something like that."— Dave Jackson 00:32:58 – 00:33:07. The Blue Yeti Misconception: "Technically, it's not a bad microphone, but what most people overlook is that thing can pick up, if you want, in every single direction. Well, that's just screaming, pick up the neighbor's lawnmower and everything else."— Dave Jackson 00:33:44 – 00:33:57. Mastering Freelance Success: "If I'm trying to position myself as an expert, I either want to interview people who know the people that should be hiring me or in some cases, just interview the people who should be hiring me."— Dave Jackson 00:37:54 – 00:38:03. Big thanks to Dave Jackson for all the help and inspiration over the years. Find Dave at www.SchoolofPodcasting.com. FIND YOUR MENTOR Those are six mentors who have had the biggest impact on my journey. There are so many other people who have inspired, helped, and collaborated with me over the years and through these 500 episodes. I would never have enough time to name all of them. From my wife Jen, to Jon Fugler and the various members of our mastermind over the years. From the clients, partners, and supporters, each has played a part in this journey. But most of all, I want to thank you. Without your support week after week and episode after episode, this show would never have reached 500 episodes. Thanks for being here. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your podcast journey. Let me know how I can help. If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me.

Many people think transcriptions are only for making it easy for the hearing impaired to consume your content (and that is ONE way you can use transcripts), but there are other ways to use transcriptions. Topics Covered • The use of robots in podcast production • AI tools for podcasting • Transcription services and their multiple uses • Closed captions in podcasting • Importance of proper use of transcripts and SEO Different Uses of Podcast Transcripts Transcripts can serve many different purposes in podcasting. Here are a few ways they can be used: 1. Closed captions: Transcripts can be used to create closed captions, which improves accessibility for hearing-impaired audiences. 2. Content editing: Transcripts can be used as a tool for editing podcast content. By reviewing the transcript, podcasters can identify areas of the episode that need improvement or clarification. 3. Quote pulling: Transcripts can also be used to pull quotes from the episode for promotional or marketing purposes. 4. SEO improvement: Transcripts can improve search engine optimization by providing text content that search engines can crawl and understand. 5. Alternative content consumption: Some listeners prefer to read transcripts rather than listen to the entire episode, so transcripts can provide an alternative way for audiences to consume the content. It's important to note that unedited transcripts may not make sense and could actually hurt SEO if used for episode descriptions, so it's important to edit transcripts before using them for any purpose. An Evolving Space The one thing that is staying the same in this space is CHANGE. There were over 1000 tools based on AI released in April. So by the time you read this, the apps I'm mentioning will have added updates, and there will probably be updates in about 10 minutes. This makes it VERY hard (if not impossible) to pick a "Best one". Capsho has the highest price if you want all the bells and whistles, and CastMagic is the best deal right now with a lifetime deal on Appsumo. How I Saved 40 Minutes Editing One Episode I got permission to play a part of another podcast. I said, hey, can I take this clip from your show and play it in mine? And they're like, "Yeah, that's fine," except it was a 50-minute episode, and I couldn't remember where that clip was. I ran it up through Otter, had it, transcribed it, and I searched for the phrase I was looking for, and there it was. And I could see where it was near the end of the show. So I saved at least 40 minutes looking for a certain part of the episode that I would use. Show Edits In a Google Doc You could take your transcript, and in the Google Doc there is a highlighter, and you could mark your edits on the screen and share the link with your editor.  Easier to Spot "Pull Quotes" You can read an episode faster than listening to it, so when you are listening for pull quotes, you can spot these easier with transcripts.

However, there are many reasons why listeners may choose to unfollow or unsubscribe from a podcast. In this episode, we will explore what makes listeners tune out of a podcast and how podcast creators can avoid these pitfalls. We will look at common issues such as poor audio quality and how extended chit-chat at the beginning may be causing people to tune out.

Happy Podcasting! I hope your having fun creating your podcast. On this Episode I share some audio recording tips that you can use to help you get the best sound possible.

 I had someone ask me, "Why do you think Joe Rogan is so popular? and I took some time to do some research. I wrote a blog post/video at https://schoolofpodcasting.com/how-to-do-a-podcast-like-joe-rogan/ Things We Learned/Noticed Joe can be a bit of a lightning rod. You either love him or hate him Joe had impostor syndrome. Joe only has guests he wants to talk to Joe creates an environment where people don't have to worry about triggering others. They talk freely. Joe actually mocks/jokes with his guests. Who do you do this with? Your closest friends.  Joe is authentic and it resonates. He spent years learning how to entertain audiences and eventually moved to where he could get more work. While he is a celebrity, that may work to get you to press play ONCE, but you need to deliver value to get them to click AGAIN.  Joe states the top skills for an interviewer are listening and thinking My Opinion I listen to Joe's show when I see a guest I know and want to no more. I believe Joe could use some editing. Not to make it 20 minutes, but there are times when I am asking, "How did this make it past the edit?" THE BOTTOM LINE You need to be comfortable being yourself. When you try to be someone else, it's hard and doesn't work. That added weight of being someone else leads to burnout. Play to your strengths. Let your humor shine if you have it. If you're more serious, then build a show around it.  Everyone's biggest fear is to create a show while being themselves will result in a show that's not popular. There are SO MANY reasons why a show can fail, but I can help you avoid the most common mistakes.

Dave Jackson started podcasting in April of 2005. His podcast about podcasting has been downloaded over 1.6 million times (as of 2017).

If you're looking to start a podcast or a veteran podcaster, you can catch some great insights with this free podcast.Unlike many other “geeks” who know how to podcast, I've been a technical trainer for over 20 years. This means I not only do I understand the technology but I can explain it in a plain English “geek-speak free” environment. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Akron (Specializing in technical education). While there are other podcast consultants, I believe my experience sets me apart in regards to helping you make sense of the entire podcasting process.

I believe that people, for the most part, are good. When a tragedy happens, we want to help. That's really the whole basis for the GoFundMe website. You can read about someone who's in some kind of desperate situation, whether it's from an accident, or a critical illness, or something else – and you can literally help them. And when something really devastating happens, and it affects a whole city, we see an immediate result – the psychology of community.  This is what happened in New York City right after 9/11. On any other day, people are out and doing what they need to do, going from one place to another, mostly preoccupied with what they have to do that day.  But in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack, that completely changed. Suddenly, New York City wasn't millions of individuals. It was a group; a community. Everyone's to-do list went out the window, and the immediate priority was to help those who needed it. And it wasn't just the people in that city – all around the country, people donated money, there were long lines to donate blood for the injured, and some who were qualified literally went to dig through the rubble and find survivors.  And one of the interesting effects of that tragedy was a surge in young people enlisting in the military. Our country had been attacked, and many people felt that signing up for the military was a way to perhaps prevent future attacks. My guest today is Michael, but he goes by the nickname CQ. He lived in New York City when 9/11 happened, and he was one of those young men who decided to join the military and help defend our country. But then something happened that brought his military career to an unexpected early end.

Dave Jackson joins me this week to talk all about podcasting. https://schoolofpodcasting.com/ Podcasting since April of 2005. His podcast about podcasting has been downloaded over 1.6 million times (as of 2017). Helping hundreds of people launch podcasts.

Podcasting is a secret weapon for marketers looking to build trust and authority. Learn how to create trust and value as a podcaster from hall of fame podcaster and podcast consultant, Dave Jackson.Dave's Podcasting StoryDave has a corporate teaching background.As a nerd, building websites, he started getting interested in marketing. A friend told him to check out podcasting because it was going to be “the next big thing.”Dave started a podcast to try it out, and he got a message from someone in Germany. Dave immediately decided that he loved podcasting and has been doing it ever since. Dave is now a hall of fame podcaster.Podcasting is slowly becoming more and more mainstream. It's still “the next big thing.”In recent years, more people are now understanding what a podcast is. How Podcasting Creates Trust and AuthorityPodcasting is a lot of work, and releasing an episode on a consistent basis shows that you are consistent and reliable. As a podcaster, you become a part of the routine of your listeners. Your audience has an intimate relationship you as they listen to you over and over again. They start get to know you and feel a connection to you as you talk about yourself and weave personality into your show. Podcasting is a tool for vulnerability and authenticity. Deliver value to your audience! The key to trust is communication. Keep your audience in the loop.How can you Create Value as a Podcaster?Step 1: Why are you starting a podcast? Step 2: Who is this for?You need to understand your target audience and the type of person that wants to listen to your show. Create content for a very specific group of people. Don't waste your listeners' time. Not every episode is going to be incredible. That said, sometimes your audience will surprise you with what they like. You are the goalie and your audience is the net. It's your job to choose which balls get past you and make it into the show. Be willing to not publish a show if it isn't right for your audience.Podcast EditingEdit your show! Take out anything that doesn't deliver value to your audience. Don't waste the time of your audience. Make sure that the content you produce will be something they're looking for. Mount Rushmore was a bunch of rocks before it was edited.If you plan more, you'll need to do less editing. If you do less planning you'll need to do more editing. Find the low hanging editing fruit. Take it out if it doesn't provide value. Take it out if it's distracting.Take it out if it is an obvious, easy, thing to remove. If 1,000 people listen to your podcast and you cut out 1 minute… You just saved 1,000 minutes.People want to get to the good stuff! Podcast intros are good. New listeners need to know where the show is going. Answer the question: “why should I listen to this guy?”How can a Podcast help a Brand?Answer commonly asked questions! When people reach out to the company and ask the question, you can point them to your podcast as a resource. They'll then start listening to other episodes of the show.When they come back, they'll be educated and more loyal to your brand. Get your CEO and leadership to come on the show. It's not very often that your customers get a chance to learn from and listen to the CEO. Getting to know the person leading the company can help people trust the company more. Your podcast is NOT your business. It's your business card. … and it works 24/7Create a podcast that your ideal audience will listen to.Sponsors and PodcastingBe careful! Only have a sponsor on your show if you like the product and you think that it's the right fit for your audience. It's the little things that will help you build trust. Follow Dave:Power of PodcastingSchool of PodcastingPodcast Review ShowLinkedInFollow JacobLinkedInFollow JMH Media:JMH Media: Building Brand Loyalty and TrustLinkedInFacebookInstagramListen & SubscribeApple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyYouTubePodchaserOvercastAmazon MusicWe'd love to hear from you!Have some feedback about the show?

Today Dave and Erik touch base with Adam from Tactical Breakdown to see how his podcast is doing sincehttp://podcastreviewshow.com/tactical-breakdown/ ( the last time we reviewed) his show. Adam niched down to his audience, and really focused on his target audience and realized not everyone is his audience. Adam has delegated the production work to a company that allows him to focus more on the courses and live events. He started and launched an online training program, and now does his podcast full time. Adam had questions about creating an Amazon Flash Briefing (and we explain there is a difference between an Amazon Skill, and an Amazon Flash Briefing). Adam also has people in his audience and industry to have Adam consult on running their event, and help with their podcast. Adam updated his intro based on our suggestions and fixed the audio issues he had in the past.

What Are You Struggling With Most? – Episode 191 I recently asked my tribe about the one thing they are struggling with most. This week, we are going to answer the questions and help you get over a few hurdles. First, thanks to Andre Lewis for having me on his "Start To Finish Podcasting" Episode 16. We talked about interviewing. Find Andre at www.StartToFinishPodcasting.com. Dave Jackson recently had me on an episode of the "The School of Podcasting" to discuss ego. Check it out at SchoolOfPodcasting.com. Let's answer a few questions this week. What are you struggling with most?   PERFECTION I have problems stumbling with wording when recording and keep going back, deleting and re-recording. - Tim Man On The Seat Podcast www.manontheseat.com   EKJ: I was discussing this with a coaching client the other day. Use enough notes to help you remember the important points. Don't use so many notes that you are reading them. Avoid striving for perfection. Get 80% of the way there and call it good. It will never be perfect. Nobody is expecting you to be perfect. Get it close and move on.   SHOW NOTES The most headache has to be writing out detailed show notes. By the way, THANK YOU for the podcasts, the episode on Imposter Syndrome was VERY helpful! - Jonathan Bloom WeeklyAwesome.com Weekly Podcasts To Make Your Week BETTER!   Show notes and social media marketing. The show is finally done (I do a lot of research and planning before recording, and a good amount of time in post production). Ugh … now I have to do show notes, and promote it too? My least favorite part. I'm attempting to spread the work over several days, as you suggested recently on your show. Thanks for the great talk on the phone recently and for your great podcast. Thanks & Cheers! - Brian Vincent Weber www.bartenderjourney.net   EKJ: Great chat, Brian. I hope the bartender podcast and business ideas we discussed take off for you. Producing the podcast is 20% of the work. Promoting the show is the other 80%. If a tree falls in the forrest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? If a podcast is released and no one is there to hear it, is it really released? You eat an elephant one bite at a time. So, yes. As we discussed in episode 166 "My Podcast Workflow", break your big task into little parts and spread it out. If you can afford it, hire someone to do your show notes. There are great virtual assistants and show note specialists that can help you. How many people are actually coming to your website for show notes? You might consider simply posting the highlights of the show in a paragraph or two along with the links and resources you mention. After that, call it good. Give your listeners what they need without the overkill. Find ways to promote the show that you enjoy. Are you on Facebook? Promote it there. Find some taste makers who enjoy the show and get them to help spread the word. Check out episode 176 "How To Grow Your Audience by 10x" and episode 181 "How To Get More Podcast Listeners". Those should help a bit.   MOTIVATION What's giving me the most headache is relaunching my podcast after a long time not producing because life took a turn. My gear has been in storage after some life changing events and I'm starting from scratch.   - Dan The Coffee Couch Danhansen.com   I struggle with knowing which content to put out. - Richard Chelson   EKJ: Both of these struggles have to do with passion. I know if doesn't seem like it on the surface. But, look at the two hurdles. "The most headache is relaunching my podcast." "Knowing which content to put out." If you are truly following your passion, starting your podcast, continuing your podcast and coming up with topics should be no problem at all. If you don't have a passion about podcasting in general, you need to find another vehicle for your content. Do you enjoy writing more? How about video? Do you enjoy short, live video clips on Facebook? There are many ways to get your content to your fans. If you don't enjoy the process of creating a podcast, it will be very difficult to find the motivation to get on the mic every week. On the other hand, if it is the topic that lacks passion, find a new topic. Again, if you are not extremely passionate about your topic, it will be very difficult to find the motivation to get on the mic every week. Stop searching for topic that you think your audience will enjoy and chase the topics you love. When you are interested, you become interesting. It will be much more enjoyable to listen to your podcast if we can hear your passion come through the speakers. That only happens when you are talking about your passion.   Do you need help with your podcast? E-mail me any time at Coach@PodcastTalentCoach.com. Let's see what we can do. You can find my podcast and other tools to help you create great content at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com.   Let's turn your information into engaging entertainment.

How I Battled To Overcome The Impostor Syndrome – Episode 163   Have you ever struggled with your confidence to launch or record an episode of your podcast? Have you worried that you were just pretending to know what you're doing? That someone might find out that you didn't really belong amongst the podcast professionals? That's the Impostor Syndrome creeping in.   I've been there. I was at that point when I started in broadcasting. I continue to fight it today.   Proper preparation will help you feel more confident in your content. You can find a free show prep sheet online at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com. This will help you set a solid foundation.   MY BATTLE WITH IMPOSTOR SYNDROME I learned the value of preparation by fighting my own battle against the Impostor Syndrome.   Impostor Syndrome is defined as a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved.   While in college getting my degree in architecture, I became a party DJ to make some extra cash. Music had always been a big part of my life. I had been a musician since I was 11. However, I had wanted to be an architect since 6th grade. Getting my architecture degree was never in question.   Around my junior year of architecture school, I started becoming disenchanted with the field. It was then that I picked up a part time summer job at a radio station where my brother worked. Just to make some extra cash. The drafting firm where I had been working recently closed its doors as the owner went to work for a larger, manufacturing company.   As my passion for architecture waned, my passion for radio grew. Next thing you know, I'm taking classes in the College of Journalism and becoming the music director of the college radio station.   My music director position at the college station turned into another part time commercial radio job. That position eventually became full time.   Architecture was still part of my life. I was nearly done with my degree and didn't want to throw it all away at that point. So, I finished my degree in architecture and continued to work in radio. Oddly enough, my only architecture job came at that drafting firm while I was still in high school.   When I began in radio, the impostor syndrome heavily kicked in. I had an architecture background. What right did I have to be on the radio?   Who was I to think I was in a position to be amongst these radio guys who had been doing it for many, many years and had paid their dues.   When I would interview famous musicians, the Impostor Syndrome would really fire up. I'm just a kid out of college with an architecture degree faking my way through radio.   I felt like I was playing dress up and pretending to be one of them. It took me years to get over that and build the confidence to perform on a daily basis.   After doing it for over 25 years, I got to the point where I was programming multiple radio stations at the same time. Some of those station were recognized with national awards from the National Association of Broadcasters.   The stations I was programming ranked #1 quite often. My own show was regularly #1. I built the confidence within myself to deliver content that was compelling and connected with my audience.   IMPOSTOR SYNDROME RETURNS When I launched my podcast, I quickly went back to the beginning. The imposter syndrome kicked in again.   Who was I to think I could build a successful podcast amongst these greats that had been doing it for years? Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting has been podcasting since 2005. I'm just starting. How can I possibly think I belong in the same arena as Dave?   Then, I started thinking about my story. I had been here before. My knowledge and experience sets me apart from a lot of podcasters. Even podcasters who had been producing content for years. That helped me shake the impostor syndrome and publish my content.   MY NEXT BATTLE Recently, I ran into that little voice again. I was in a discussion with my mastermind about the next step we each needed to take to move forward. What was the “next thing”?   As we were talking it through, I finally came to the conclusion that the voice was holding me back. What if I put all this work into creating a course or book or workshop and nobody came? The group helped me once again recognize my experience and knowledge.   An episode of “DailyVee” with Gary Vaynerchuk today did the same thing for me. Gary said, “Going 0-for-5 is better than going 0-for-0. At least you're learning something.” That made total sense to me.   HELP FOR YOU Ignore the voice and move forward. Regardless of the outcome, you'll learn something and be able to do it better next time.   That's what I want to help you do. I want to be that cheerleader for you if you don't have the history that I have to overcome that little voice inside your head doubting your ability. You can do it. You belong. You have just as much authority on your opinion as anyone. Let's get it out to the world.   It is fairly simple to set up a mic, mixer and laptop. Heck, you don't even need a mixer. Plug straight into your computer.   Load up some software and record some audio. Setting up a website with Wordpress, creating a Libsyn account and posting a show isn't very complicated.   Even if you are not very technically savvy, there are great people like Dave Jackson and the School of Podcasting that can help you with every step along the way. He even has a great class at www.HowToPodcast.com. You'll have a podcast launched in 6 weeks.   Creating the platform is only the first step. Creating great content is up to you. Your content isn't something you can outsource. You need to find the confidence to put your thoughts and feelings out into the world.   HOW YOU CAN STAT A PODCAST How do I suggest you bootstrap to begin? Make it simple. Get an inexpensive microphone, like a $60 ATR-2100. Plug directly into your computer with the USB cable. If you're adventuresome, pick up an inexpensive mixer like a $99 Yamaha 4-channel. I just purchase an 8-channel mixer at a pawn shop for $65.   Get a free Wordpress site. Create a Libsyn account for $15 a month. You'll need a computer and some free Audacity software. If you already have a laptop, you're up and running for under $100. Again, Dave Jackson has a whole list of recommendations for you at www.SchoolOfPodcasting.com. I leave the technical stuff up to him.   WHAT IS YOUR PODCAST NICHE My goal is to transform your content and beef up your confidence.   So, how do you define your niche? Will anybody really care?   It is easy for the impostor syndrome to sneak in here. Your internal impostor will tell you nobody cares about that topic. Your niche is too small and nobody will come. You'll be talking to yourself.   Fight it. Your niche size doesn't matter as much as the passion of the niche community. If you have a group of people that you are passionate about, and they are loyal to a particular subject, run with it.   The more narrowly you target your niche the better. If you are interested in fishing, pick a small niche. If you love fly fishing, but create your show around fishing in general, you will find it tough to build loyalty. If your show is only on fly fishing, you will primarily attract those interested in fly fishing. The niche is smaller than fishing in general. However, every show will be of interest to your audience.   If your show is “the Fishing Show” and all about fishing, you'll be hit and miss. One week you talk about fly fishing. The next week you discuss deep sea fishing. Now, your fly fisher friends only get what they seek on occasion. You aren't catering specifically to them. People will only check our your show now and then. You will find it difficult to build a passionate tribe.   The audience for “The Fishing Show” looks like a bigger audience than “The Fly Fishing Show”. But, it is deceiving. The passion lies in the niche.   Be confident in your topic. You will start slowly. But, it will grow. Stay the course.   PLANNING YOUR PODCAST How do you get ready? How do you overcome the pre-launch jitters?   Planning your podcast will help relieve a bit of the anxiety. If you know where you're going, you can stay focused on the goal and fight through the self doubt. Plan your show before you begin.   Let's discuss the 5 Speech class basics and how they pertain to your show.   1. Lead with a provocative point – capture their attention right at the beginning.   2. Dazzle with details – make the story come to life.   3. Take the first exit – Get out when you have the first opportunity.   4. Don't repeat yourself and overstay your welcome – In talk radio, it's called the call circle.   5. Include a call to action – this is the whole reason you're doing a podcast and creating a tribe.   Have confidence in your content. Fight the impostor syndrome. Do all you can to push forward and get your content out.   When you plan your show, it makes it easier to stay focused on the goal. Know what you hope to communicate on this episode. Lay out how you plan to communicate that information. Then, define your intro, details and exit. Define your call-to-action and determine where you plan to incorporate it into the show.   Now, all you need to do is record the show and post it for the world to hear. The more work you do ahead of recording, the easier it is to believe in yourself while the show is rolling. Remember, the main reason you are podcasting is because it is fun. Enjoy the process.   TO DO THIS WEEK This week, plan your show. Determine the topics for the show. Lay out your intro, details and conclusion for each topic. Define your call-to-action.   You can find a free show prep sheet online at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com.   Use solid preparation for your show to gain more confidence in your content and battle the Impostor Syndrome.   Let me know how I can help.

Episode 070 – Podcast Interview Resources   Two e-mails came in recently that might help you with your content. This week I would like to share a few podcast interview resources, to help you create better podcast interviews. We will also review the benefits of an outside perspective.   The first e-mail comes from Josh.   Hi Erik, Really enjoying the show. Question. I've been interviewed on many different podcasts and I'm amazed how often I'm asked identical questions to those asked of every other guest that appears on their show. I understand as podcasters, there's always so much work to do. The research required and creating unique questions can be a scheduling challenge - but this feels so lazy to me to just rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. When I think of some of the best interviewers I know, I can't imagine they would *ever* do this. In addition to your podcast, coaching, and resources, are there any books you would recommend for how to be an awesome interviewer? I'd love to recommend them to many of our peers in the podcasting world - and quite frankly, this is a skill that I would love to grow in. I know you recently covered interviewing - but I would love to hear your take on this practice, in particular, and would love to hear even more on the subject! Many thanks, Josh Elledge - 90 Days to Abundance podcast – SavingsAngel.com     Everyone has their own approach. In my coaching, I always encourage podcasters to develop their own style.   A “one-size-fits-all” approach to interviewing rarely leads to unique questions or answers. When an interviewer follows a script, they miss the opportunity for great follow-up questions. Let the conversation flow naturally. Don't simply stop at the list of typical questions.   If you make yourself truly present in the interview, you will listen to and hear the answers your guest provides. You will then ask the natural follow-up questions your listener would ask if they were sitting right next to you.   Remember, you can always edit out the pauses. If you hit a dead end and need to look for another question, a quick edit will make the interview sound seamless.   Interviewing might very well be my next book.   Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the one perfect resource for interview instruction. Over my 25 years in radio, I have accumulated tips from many, many people.   There are a few good radio books that touch on interviewing as part of an overview of radio programming and talent development. Two radio books I would recommend are “Creating Powerful Radio” by Valerie Geller and “Morning Radio” by Tracy Johnson. Both have been influential on my coaching style.   There is also much to learn from the greats. I have found wonderful tidbits in the autobiographies and biographies of Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and Larry King among others. Learn more about the interviewers and reporters that you enjoy.   Over the years, I have learned quite a bit about the business and art from two individuals. Dan O'Day is fantastic at creating audio that moves people to act. Mark Ramsey is a brilliant mind that asks wonderful questions about the future of the medium.   Two podcasters have provided great content with regard to interviewing on different episodes. Check out “The School Of Podcasting” by Dave Jackson. You will also find great information with “The Audacity To Podcast” with Daniel J. Lewis.   Most interviewers have their own style. The commonality amongst the greats is the natural sense of curiosity. You will find that you ask wonderful questions during an interview when you let your curiosity take over.       Hi Erik, My name is Rudy Vaughan and I began my podcast several weeks ago. I'm on episode 3 now. It's called the Word Outreach Podcast, which focuses on 'Encouragement for the Christian Walk'. Each episode includes a missions emphasis with missionary interviews. I've listened to your podcast for about 6 months and found you through your buddy, Dave, over at SOP. I appreciate your content, coaching and enthusiasm! Rudy     Thanks for the great feedback, Rudy.   Congratulations on your launch. Getting started is quite a big step. Many people plan and plan and plan without ever launching. Keep on creating.   Thanks for including Podcast Talent Coach as part of your learning. I am honored to be part of your journey.   Coaching is an important tool for improvement. Whether you get that from one-on-one coaching, group coaching, podcasts, books, blogs or another podcaster, let feedback help you.   Having a partner help you with your podcast can do two primary things for you. First, an outside perspective on your content can help you see things you do not see. Then, coaching can hold you accountable for progress.   Dave Jackson and I host The Podcast Review Show. We invite podcasters to appear on the podcast to have their show reviewed and their website critiqued. We also provide feedback on their business.   I am happy to hear that you are finding value with my content. Keep publishing your episodes. Let me know how I can help.       I'd love to help you with your podcast. Post any questions or comments you might have, or e-mail me at Coach@PodcastTalentCoach.com.   You can find my podcast and other tools to help you create great content at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com.

CONFIDENCE TO BEGIN A PODCAST I'm Erik K. Johnson, founder of Podcast Talent Coach. I help people refine their content to transform their information into engaging entertainment so that they can convert their podcast audience into powerful, profitable relationships. Have you ever struggled with your confidence to launch or record an episode of your podcast? Have you worried that you were just pretending to know what you're doing? That someone might find out that you didn't really belong amongst the podcast professionals? I've been there. I was at that point when I started in broadcasting. While in college getting my degree in architecture, I became a party DJ to make some extra cash. Music had always been a big part of my life. I had been a musician since I was 11. However, I had wanted to be an architect since 6th grade. Getting my architecture degree was never in question.

Next thing you know, I'm taking classes in the College of Journalism and becoming the music director of the college radio station. My music director position at the college station turned into another part time commercial radio job. That position eventually became full time. Architecture was still part of my life. I was nearly done with my degree and didn't want to throw it all away at that point. So, I finished my degree in architecture and continued to work in radio. Oddly enough, my only architecture job came while I was still in high school. When I began in radio, the impostor syndrome heavily kicked in. I had an architecture background.
