    Stop Comparing Your Podcast to Other Podcasters | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep #453

    If you're wondering how to stop comparing your podcast to other podcasters, one thing you have to understand is that everybody is on a different journey. Someone else's equipment, studio, confidence, or experience doesn't mean your podcast isn't working. I've caught myself doing this. I would get around podcasters who had been doing this longer than me and start looking at their equipment, their studios, and how good they sounded. Eventually, I realized I wasn't necessarily doubting my podcast. I was comparing my podcast. In this episode, I talk about what changed when I stopped looking at other podcasters as competition and started looking at them as people I could learn from. After producing 893 podcast episodes, I've had a lot of practice. I've made mistakes. I've changed equipment. I've asked questions. I've learned from other people. I've had recordings where things went wrong and I had to figure out what happened. That's part of the journey. In this episode, I talk about: • Why you shouldn't compare your podcast to someone else's • Why podcasting takes time to develop • Why more reps can help you improve • Why you don't need expensive equipment before you start If you're early in your podcast journey, don't look at somebody who has been podcasting for years and assume you're supposed to be where they are. Look at where you are today. Learn. Apply it. Get your reps. Then keep going.

We'll talk about where you are right now, what you're looking to create, and how we can help you record, edit, produce, and publish your podcast.

    What Is Your Podcast Audience Struggling With | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep #453

    If you have a podcast, how do you know what your audience actually needs from you? In this episode, I talk about the importance of listening to your podcast audience and paying attention to their questions, struggles, hesitation, and feedback. I recently taught an in person podcast workshop, and instead of only giving people information about podcasting, we helped them actually apply what they learned and record.  That experience gave me a different perspective on how people learn and what can hold someone back from launching their podcast. Your audience can tell you a lot about what they need, but you have to listen, ask better questions, process the feedback, and determine what makes sense to apply. We also talk about why podcasting can be simple without being easy, starting with the equipment you already have, and determining the outcome you want your podcast to create.

    The THREE Challenges of Podcasting | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep # 452

    Starting a podcast can feel difficult when you are thinking about equipment, studios, what to say, and whether you are ready. In this episode, I talk about three challenges I continue seeing with business owners who want to launch a podcast. We talk about procrastination, overthinking, being afraid to fail publicly, and why you have to be willing to start before everything is perfect. I also share something I recently learned about my own business. After talking with customers, testing different messages, and having a conversation with one of my professors, I realized something that had been right in front of me. We Bring the Podcast Production to You. You sit down and share your expertise. We handle the recording, editing, production, and publishing. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why people wait months or even years to launch • How overthinking can create procrastination • Why equipment is not the most important part • Why being comfortable learning publicly matters If you've been thinking about launching your podcast and you're ready to stop putting it off, schedule a FREE 15 Minute Podcast Strategy Call with us.

    Why One Podcast Episode Is Not Enough | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep #451

    If you are wondering how many podcast episodes you should record, understand that one episode is only the starting point.  The more you record, the more opportunities you have to improve, build trust, and give people something to discover. In this episode, I talk about why I continue to focus on the next podcast episode instead of expecting one episode to create all the results. When I started podcasting in August 2021, I started with an iPhone 7 and a tripod.  Over time, I kept recording, learning, changing my setup, and getting more comfortable. After producing 893 podcast episodes, one thing I continue to see is that you never know when somebody is going to discover your content. People may not comment. They may not like the video. They may not tell you they listened. That does not automatically mean nobody is listening. In this episode, I talk about: • Why one podcast episode is not enough • Why you should focus on your next episode • How podcasting helps build trust • Why you should not expect instant results If you are a business owner who has been thinking about launching your podcast but you are stuck because of the equipment, studio, editing, or knowing where to start, schedule a FREE 15 Minute Podcast Strategy Call with us. We’ll talk about where you are right now, what you’re looking to create, and how we can help you record, edit, produce, and publish your podcast.

    Why Starting a Business Is So Challenging | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep # 450

    How do you identify the problem your business solves? For me, figuring that out took years of trying different things, asking questions, learning business, talking to mentors, and paying attention to what people actually came to me for. In this episode, I talk about why business can be so challenging when you're trying to figure everything out at the same time. -Sales. -Marketing. -Finance. -Legal. -Operations. -Team development. -Your own development. There are a lot of moving pieces. I started my first business with a car wash. I bought 100 business cards and started telling people what I was doing before I completely knew what I was doing. That forced me to actually go try. Over time, I tried advertising, social media management, videography, photography, and podcasting. Eventually something started becoming clearer. People kept reaching out to me about podcasting. After producing more than 893 podcast episodes and helping 37 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts, I started recognizing the problem Failure Is Knowledge actually solves. There are business owners who want to launch a podcast but procrastinate because they don't know what equipment to use, how to record, what to say, how to edit, or how to publish. That helped me understand my market differently. In this episode, I talk about: • Why there is always another challenge in business • Why you have to give yourself time to learn • How taking action teaches you what research cannot • How I started my first car wash business One of the biggest things I'm learning is that having knowledge is not enough. You have to apply it. If you've been thinking about launching your podcast and you're ready to stop putting it off, schedule a FREE 15 Minute Podcast Strategy Call with us.

    You Recorded Your First Podcast. Now What? | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep #449

    You recorded your first podcast. Now what? In this episode, I break down what happens after you record your first podcast and how to take the video and audio sitting on your camera, SD card, phone, or computer and turn it into something people can actually watch, listen to, discover, and learn from. After producing over 893 podcast episodes, one thing I’ve learned is that a lot happens after you turn the cameras off. In this episode, I talk about: • Making sure your recording actually saved • Organizing your audio and video files • What you should actually edit • Why your podcast does not have to sound perfect Recording your first podcast is not the finish line. It is really the beginning of the process. If you’ve been thinking about launching your podcast and you’re ready to stop putting it off, schedule a FREE 15 Minute Podcast Strategy Call with us.

    The Biggest Lessons I Learned From Podcasting | with Terryl Humphrey | Ep #448

    If you're wondering what you can learn from starting a podcast, there is more to podcasting than recording episodes and talking into a camera. In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I share three of the biggest lessons podcasting has taught me: establish a goal, get educated, and give yourself grace. When I started podcasting while serving in the Marine Corps, I didn't have everything figured out. I started with my phone and a small tripod. The tripod wasn't even tall enough, so I put three books underneath it. But I had a goal. Over time, I realized podcasting was helping me work toward something bigger. In this episode, I talk about: • Why you need a goal before worrying about everything else • Why podcasting is more than talking to a camera • Why education doesn't always mean going back to college This episode is for entrepreneurs and business owners who are thinking about starting a podcast but feel like they still have too much to figure out. You don't have to know everything when you start. You have to be willing to learn.
