  3. Hey... What are you doing with that podcast?

    JAN 11

    Hey... What are you doing with that podcast?

    Disappointing podcast metrics? Hazy podcast content strategy? Feeling the burnout, the overwhelm, the dread… and it’s only January?! When we only think about podcasting for our business, brand, or organization in order to grow our audience, and the reason we wanna grow our audience is to sell more of a thing in order to make money, then we are often going to be disappointed. Why? Because there are easier, more cost effective, faster ways to grow our audience, to sell more of a thing to make more money. This does not mean that podcasting doesn’t work, but it means that we have to be a little bit smarter than just download numbers, growing our audience to sell a thing. We have to think about what podcasting does really, really well and how to leverage the time, the money, the energy, the effort, the investment that we are putting into our podcast, to know how to leverage that in a way that it makes more sense, that it fits into our strategy and into our workflow… better.

  4. Your Green Light to Make a Change for Your Podcast

    12/28/2023

    Your Green Light to Make a Change for Your Podcast

    I don't want to offer you another recap roundup or year in review episode. The other thing I'm not offering you is a “new year, new you” episode. But I DID want to come on here and have a podcast conversation with you because things are changing. And I'm actually pretty excited for 2024! When you started your podcast, you had an idea in mind, probably, of what you wanted to offer to your audience, a problem that you were solving or something that you wanted to speak to. And maybe you’ve been chugging along and you felt great and it was working and it was making a difference and people were joining your podcast and your audience was growing and then something happened.  You became bored or disillusioned with your show, or your numbers kind of stagnated or maybe even dropped. But it’s not that you suddenly are doing something wrong – it’s that your community, your audience is also changing. And so what it is that they need now and how can you shift to meet that need?

  6. The Problem With the "C-Word" in Podcasting

    06/28/2023

    The Problem With the "C-Word" in Podcasting

    I have a confession to make and that is that I have a problem. There is a word that I have started using. I have adopted it into my language, into my vocabulary, and I am very disturbed and ashamed, and it’s not a word that I wanna be using ever, or at least not as much as I have been as of late. And that is, well, if you looked at the title of the episode, you already know it’s the “c-word.” I serve business owners, thought leaders, and organization directors in their respective niches to use the medium of podcasting towards whatever their higher purpose or goal is. But this whole media landscape is getting more competitive day by day.  You CAN use this platform to create genuine, intimate, meaningful conversations with your listeners. You are creating meaningful change in their life. You are providing them something that they don’t get anywhere else. However, they need to be able to find you, and once they find you, you need to be able to capture and hold their attention long enough to build the relationship.  And that's where the "p-word" comes in!

  7. Get Off the Social Media Hamster Wheel! Your Podcast Deserves Better with Lauren Ramsey & Andrea Klunder

    Get Off the Social Media Hamster Wheel! Your Podcast Deserves Better with Lauren Ramsey & Andrea Klunder

    The summer slowdown... it's the PERFECT time to do a bit of business development that is actually FUN! This year, Lauren Ramsey of Betsy Bash and I decided to team up to help you with this conundrum of feeling like you are constantly on the content hamster wheel generating podcast episodes, generating social media posts, making TikToks and reels, trying to figure out what the heck to put on YouTube, trying to figure out what the algorithms want... Why is it important to sync your content across your podcast, social, and other marketing channels? Lauren says, "Your audience is seeing all of those channels. So if they don't match, if they're not aligned, people can feel that. Whether or not they realize it consciously, they are realizing it subconsciously and it negatively impacts their perception of your brand. Which is really hard to get rid of later. Right? Like how do you change someone's subconscious?" Your social media exists to pull people towards your brand. It's there to create a community around your brand. So if it's not aligned with what your podcast marketing goals are, that's a huge miss.  Not to mention... you're burning a lot of time, energy, and resources. So what's a podcast creator to do? Listen to the episode to find out! Podcast Envy Masterclasses JOIN LAUREN & ANDREA 6/29/23 for How To Grow Your Podcast Like a Social Media Influencer!

  8. How To Create A Safe Space For Vulnerable Podcast Interviews

    05/25/2023

    How To Create A Safe Space For Vulnerable Podcast Interviews

    Welcome to a crossover episode of a different sort. But first: How are you doing? No, really? I ask because May is Mental Health Awareness Month. So many of us, myself included, struggle to articulate how “off” we feel right now, a cruel joke given that the good folks and orgs behind this month’s observance urge us to check in with our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.  I’ll go first (yikes!): The only way I can describe my current state of mind is fragile. Can you relate? If you’re an entrepreneur, an educator, a corporate employee, a HUMAN, I bet you can. You’re okay. I acknowledge and honor your struggle. This episode isn’t about mental health per se. It’s about creating a secure and attentive environment for guests to feel supported, understood, and willing to engage in vulnerable conversations. The high schoolers behind Power Your Story, my student mentee podcast, beautifully illustrate my point. Their cohort-led interview with Peer Support Specialist and Mental Health Advocate Ashley Scott showcases subtle practices anyone can incorporate to become a better listener and, thus, better podcast host. Co-hosts Elvis, Emerie, Jules, and Alejandro facilitate a space where Ashley feels supported to speak more candidly about her mental health. That safety is mutual: Ashley’s comfort leads the students to go off-script, to ask more meaningful follow-up questions, and to add personal observations that make for a more engaging conversation. You can talk about podcasting for marketing, sales, audience growth, or business all day, but this genuine exchange is why I love podcasting; this is where your audience will find value. The last few episodes of Podcast Envy have focused on hosting and content strategies guaranteed to make your show a repeat listen. By creating a safe, intimate container where you and your guests can discuss important topics, you’re signaling to the audience that they, too, are seen and heard. I appreciate that not everyone’s format is conducive to exploring tough conversations. Still, anyone can follow the Power Your Story lead, regardless of your show’s POVs, by remaining present and reflecting back to each guest. For Mental Health Awareness, check out all of this month’s related Power Your Story episodes:  Insomnia & Dreaming of a Better Night’s Sleep with Leonardo & Dewayne;  The Journey to Self-Empowerment: Mindfulness,Law of Attraction with Hysan & May;  Heavy Metal & Mental Health with Justin Bowling by Leslie, Carlos, Essence & ChuYing and produced by Aldo; Advocating for Mental Health & Peer Support with Ashley Scott RECOMMENDED LISTENING PEP106 - Awesome Podcast Host Featuring Karen Yates Power Your Story Refresh Your Podcast (Don't fade out!)
