What do the TV show "Hogan Knows Best" and an AI-based tech company have in common? Admittedly, not much, but they are two experiences that have shaped John Gerhard's way of thinking. From TV producer to Founder and CEO of Orson Technology, John has been embracing the excitement of unscripted content throughout his career. But it's not just about the content; at its core, it's about letting go of our preconceived notions to become more open to the world around us!
 Oh and by the way, not everyone has a podcast:
As of January 2023, there were at least 3.02 million podcasts. That sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are over 2 billion active users on Instagram alone, you realize 3 million is actually not a lot. There's plenty of room for new podcasts.

In a world flooded with audio business cards masquerading as podcasts, we’re tearing down the selfish behavior of podcast guests. It's time to ditch the pitch! Your listeners are here for real banter. Think about it, have you ever listened to a podcast and thought, "I’ve stepped into an infomercial"? If you are a podcast guest or planning to be one, stop using the mic as a megaphone for "me, myself, and I".
By stepping back from relentless self-promotion, you inadvertently step up your authenticity and appeal.
Oh and by the way, not everyone has a podcast:
As of January 2023, there were at least 4.2 million podcasts. That sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are 4.95 million people living in the Phoenix metro area alone, you realize 4.2 million is actually not a lot. There's plenty of room for new podcasts. Your podcast. Let's talk about it... contact us here.

In this episode of Content Matterz, we discuss the beauty of unscripted content. Allowing for the wonder and the unknown is what makes the unscripted so captivating -- be it a documentary, a podcast, or a TV show. Seeing this content play out through these mediums reminds us this unscripted nature exists in our lives every day -- in a conversation or a chance encounter. Larry King would say he loved waking up in the morning knowing there would be a ballgame that evening and not knowing what would happen. It was unscripted. And that allows for wonder and curiosity.
This unscripted way of being is what we see in podcasting conversations. It opens the door for so much unknown. Friendship, presence, moments, connection, opportunity, learning, significance, and more.
This episode features John Erhard. John Ehrhard is the Founder and CEO of Orson Technology. He has been in the television industry since he was 16 years old working as a producer for many shows such as Pool Kings, My Big Redneck Vacation, and Hogan Knows Best. He has adapted within the media industry and is creating new ways to produce content through AI technology with StoryShop AI, powered by Orson.

In this episode of Content Matterz, Dr. Erik Korem joins host Eric Kasimov to examine the new age-old question: Why all this content? From starting podcasts to making podcast guest appearances, the drive to serve audiences and share impactful stories remains a compelling motivation.
Have you ever considered what pushes someone to produce seemingly endless content? Is it the influence? The outreach? Or something more personal? How about this: When you realize that your voice and stories can bring hope and change to someone else's life, content suddenly becomes more than just words.
Key points from Why All This Content?:

Content serves as a medium to reach and benefit audiences.
Discovering your unique voice and what resonates with listeners is a journey.
Random messages from audience members can be a profound source of motivation.
Guest appearances on other podcasts broaden perspectives and enhance learning.
Content creation is seen as a long-term journey, lasting well into the future.
The role of a creator can evolve, from an active doer to a curator, but the intent remains – to make an impact.
For some perspective, consider this:
As of January 2023, there were at least 3.02 million podcasts. While this might seem substantial, when you compare it to the population of Los Angeles (around 4 million), you quickly grasp that in the grand spectrum of voices and stories, there's so much room for new narratives. Yours included. Let's discuss that further... contact us here.

We hear all sorts of people appearing on podcasts. From children to retirees, from founders to college students, from musicians to executives. From CEOs to the recently graduated. But why appear on podcasts?

And in this Content Matterz episode, this CEO of a publicly traded company tells us in his words, why he appears on podcasts.

In this episode of Content Matterz, guest speaker Chris Heivly, and host Eric Kasimov provide insights into writing books, the creative process behind content development, and sharing your story through any medium.
What if you wrote the book for your family? What if you produce a podcast for your team? What if you created a blog for your kids? Or what if you did it for yourself? Here's what to remember or learn from this episode: writing is cathartic.
Or as Chris Heivly says, "Share your damn stories".
Key points from Writing Is Cathartic:

Writing a book requires dedication and perseverance.
Self-publishing has made book publishing more accessible.
Overcoming fear of criticism and rejection.
Writing a book can be a fulfilling and cathartic experience.
Taking risks leads to a richer and fuller life.
Media appearances offer opportunities for meaningful connections.
Oh and by the way, not everyone has a podcast:
As of January 2023, there were at least 3.02 million podcasts. That sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are over 2 billion active users on Instagram alone, you realize 3 million is actually not a lot. There's plenty of room for new podcasts.
