- **Embrace Authenticity:** Both Dave and Jim emphasize the importance of developing a consistent and genuine on-air personality. Imitating others won't resonate as well as being your true self. Authenticity draws in listeners and builds trust.
- **Master the Art of Receiving Compliments:** Learning to gracefully accept compliments can be challenging but is crucial for personal growth. Jim suggests saying "thank you" and making eye contact, while Dave shares personal stories of deflecting compliments with humor and the need to own his achievements.
- **Enhance Your Delivery Techniques:** Effective podcasting isn't just about what you say but how you say it. Utilize pitch, pauses, volume, and word stress to engage your audience fully. Dave even uses a guitar analogy to illustrate how these elements can create a more dynamic and memorable experience.

Today we talk about realistic growth of a podcast audience. I've always said the formula is 
Value in Episode X Smart Promotion = Downloads
A recent episode of the Grow Your Show podcast mentioned we might want to mention audience size (social, email list, etc). 
Spending money on ads is a strategy, but it relies on many different aspects to have success so you may not strike gold on your first try

Today, Dave and Jim start off by looking at the motivational forces of a podcaster. "I think you need to be about 55% passion so that you have enough, "I MUST do this, and 45% logic helps you then steer it in the right direction." You need both for success.
Also, maybe NOT start a podcast.
