How should I title these podcast episodes?

Gotta put my podcast on YouTube

Film myself answering questions and reacting to community

Serves as a form of education

Title and thumbnail need to focus in on one topic tho



Would drive me crazy to not put it on the main channel tho. I’ve watched videos with just people talking tho. As long as the hook is interesting and they deliver the answer I watch



I feel the need for more dialog between you and I



What feedback do you have on the podcast in general? Should I accept feedback in the form of voicemails? Would comments on YouTube work well for feedback?



Should I spend time making educational content?



I feel like mini tutorials on TikTok would work well. Basically break a full workshop into small chapters. Answer questions that people might Google.



People still think I’m shooting iPhone only



Tired of getting every kind of feedback on my work… talk less, talk more, more social, stop including friends, more vlogs, don’t vlog



Wish I had fellow creators to talk through my problems and projects. Most of the creators that I call friends don’t really reciprocate my attempts to connect.



Need help finding interesting places to go and hike



Doing sponsorship differently.

Trying to negotiate with better brands on larger campaigns. Basically trying harder.

Have cancelled the last few integrations



Where should I hike in 2024?

Also kinda don’t want to ask

I always seem to question how important community and feedback actually is.



Should I be putting podcast episodes on YouTube?
