The first step to starting any podcast is figuring out what you’ll be talking about, and for many of our clients, the question comes down to should you have an interview show with guests or would you rather be the star of the show? There are ways to promote yourself and your business by featuring guests in every show, but some people want to control the conversation focus on the work they’re doing.
In this video, we’re going to weigh the challenges and benefits of each approach. There is no right or wrong answer, but understanding the prep work that goes into each of these options will help you figure out which might be more feasible for you. Plus, we’ll even present you with option that’s a compromise between the two.

Video content continues to gain in popularity despite billions of people already using YouTube, but short-form video content has gained even more traction in recent years. 
The rise of short-form video has been incredible over the past decade and it’s now become the most popular and effective social media content out right now. You might think Tik-Tok first but Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube all get eye-popping numbers on their short-form content.  
This quick, bite-sized content might seem better suited for Millennials and Gen Z, but the engagement goes far beyond those two generations. More and more people are navigating towards the short video and businesses of all sizes must embrace the trend. We’ll tell you more about the benefits of producing short-form video content and why it’s worth considering for your company. 
  
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
0:00 – Intro 
1:20 – What is short-form video
2:18 – What the stats say
6:33 – Rethinking social promotion
10:17 – Examples of shorts we have produced

One of the most common questions we hear from people we work with and people who are thinking about jumping into the podcasting world is how do you define success? 

Everyone wants to know if it's worth their time (and money) to produce a podcast. It's something everyone should evaluate, especially business owners who are using it as part of their marketing and educational efforts. 

So we've brought Walter Storholt back on the show to give us his view on success and share the conversations we've had with clients who are trying to assess their success. There are three primary ways we view this discussion and much of it starts with what your goals are for the show. 

Hopefully this show will provide a little clarity and give you a little more direction when it comes to what you want to get out of our podcasting efforts.
