    Elevate Your Influence Through Strategic Podcast Appearances, with Jem Fuller

    Elevate Your Influence Through Strategic Podcast Appearances, with Jem Fuller

    If you're a savvy coach, consultant or subject matter expert who speaks to get the word out about what it is you do, you know the value of stage time. A podcast is essentially stage time. There are some things though you need to be aware of before just jumping on a podcast. 

    No doubt it's your dream to be on the podcast of someone famous. Maybe it's your favourite thought leader, or YOUR coach (who's further along on their journey and has a huge community you can leverage). Being a guest though is a huge responsibility...and today's guest as learned, not just how to get booked on any podcast, but how to get booked on the shows that have skyrocketed his brand, his business and his credibility.  

    From his punk days squatting in London and barefoot backpacking years on the Indian sub-continent, right through to senior leadership within a multi-national company, Jem Fuller has lived the extremes.


    His stories and life lessons draw from experiences as an actor and singer-songwriter, global tattooist, fire dancer, kindergarten teacher and volunteer in Asia, motorcycle courier and travel consultant, Reflexologist and Chinese Masseuse, and in the last decade, leader of retreats in the Himalaya and advisor to executive leaders.

    Crafting Connections Through Podcast Evolution and Audience Engagement

    Crafting Connections Through Podcast Evolution and Audience Engagement

    If you want to learn anything these days you can just 'Google that.' Everything from how to bake a cake to what ailment you have.  The challenge is there is a lot of misinformation being shared out there, and not just on the worldwide web. Some well meaning yet misguided business coaches, agencies, even places of higher education are sharing the WRONG INFORMATION when it comes to navigating the podcasting space.

     When I first launched the Speaking of Speaking podcast, my mission was simple: help others overcome their fear of public speaking. But as my journey unfolded, I found the conversation naturally broadening to encompass the vast landscape of communication strategies. In the heart of this episode, I peel back the layers of podcasting purpose, sharing how a strong 'why' is the bedrock of any show. It's a tale of transformation, from my initial focus on tackling speaking anxiety to the rich discussions on communication that now define the podcast. I'll walk you through the importance of aligning your podcast's mission with your personal evolution and how that resonance is felt by every listener tuning in.

    Wrapping up, we open the floor to you, our community, inviting your voice into the mix. Whether it's through comments, reviews, or guest suggestions, each interaction weaves you into the fabric of our growing network. And for those ready to step behind the mic themselves, consider this an open call to join the conversation that extends beyond these episodes—because podcasting isn't just about reaching the earbuds of the world, it's about creating a dialogue that bridges over 3 million passionate voices. Stay tuned for the next instalment where we continue to exchange ideas and insights, moving the needle on what it means to truly connect.

    Bust through the myths, and get podcasting!

    Mastering Time and Impact: The Art of Crafting a Powerful Podcast with Limited Hours

    Mastering Time and Impact: The Art of Crafting a Powerful Podcast with Limited Hours

    Ever felt like time is the tyrant holding you back from launching your passion project? Banish that belief as Tony Gyenis, a spirit coach and Tuning Fork master teacher, joins us to reveal the secrets that allowed him to weave his expertise in Feng Shui and Soma Energetics into a podcast that fits into his bustling life. Tony's story of crafting the perfect podcast episode—a harmonious blend of his professional knowledge and personal commitments—is an inspiration to anyone feeling the crunch of the clock. Our conversation is a treasure trove for those looking to create impactful, concise content that resonates with listeners and doesn't require an open-ended time commitment.

    Connecting to Spirit and the energies that surround others are just two of Tony Gyenis’s many abilities. He understands how to move energy like a stream moves water, and works with his clients to give them the energetic assistance they need. Never doubting Spirit and the instructions given to him, Tony is a true messenger of divine energy.

    Tony pursued a formal education in Feng Shui, with the intention to share what he learned with others, spreading prosperity. This pursuit then led him to learn other crafts, such as Vibrational Healing Sound Therapy, Angel Therapy, and Mediumship with Doreen Virtue. Today he is the only Tuning Fork Master Teacher in Canada that we know of to teach under SomaEnergetics and believes that self-empowerment is our natural state.

    Breaking the Time Myth: How to Fit Podcasting into Your Busy Life

    Ever felt like you're running a race against the clock, especially when dreaming of starting your own podcast? Let's bust that myth together. We continue our myth-busting series with a candid conversation on the infamous time myth—the belief that there just aren't enough hours in the day to create a podcast. Join us as we challenge the status quo and explore the true flexibility of podcasting that many overlook. You'll be surprised to learn that the 'ideal' episode length is a myth itself, as we delve into why podcast duration should be a personal decision that resonates with both you and your audience's schedule.

    This episode isn't just about realization; it's about taking actionable steps. Through personal anecdotes and industry examples, we'll help you measure your content against the realities of your listener's day-to-day life. No guests, just raw insights and strategies aimed to craft your podcasting journey to fit into the life you lead—not the other way around. By the end of our session, we're confident you'll have a newfound perspective on how podcasting can seamlessly integrate with your lifestyle, unshackled by the constraints of time.

Conversation with Inspiration

Carl's story is inspirational, yet he doesn't make it about him, he makes it about YOU! For his guests, he welcomes you as a friend, and wordsmiths (yeah, I turned it into a verb) you into importance and relevance. For his listeners, he brings great content in a fun, genuine, easy-to-listen-to conversation. I appreciate that even though he is an awesome public speaking coach, he welcomed me, also a public speaking coach, to his podcast and so eloquently explained that we each bring something unique to our clients. What a professional and amazing person!
