Podcasting With Impact: Lead With Your Voice

At "Off the Record- Podcasting with impact" I share quick tips and tricks on how you can get your own Podcast started (if I can, anyone can!!), how to get better at it and how to keep motivated as you are launching and running your show. A show that you can make an impact with from day 1.

Laugh and learn with me and please don't quote me on anything. Because this is OFF THE RECORD.

Today is a big day for me. It has been 1.5 years in the making. Today I am finally launching the new season of ​my flagship production #impact.​ I had to reschedule and delay the launch several times which makes me even more proud that I have made it here.

For my previous launches I would go all in and all out with live Instagram party's, off - and online events to mark this special day. I am still such a big advocate to create this big and celebratory moments for yourself and your podcast - because look at what you achieved really.

It's amazing and it absolutely deserves celebration.

So if you want to go BIG and celebrate I have something for you.

I want to give you access to this short tutorial on some celebratory launch ideas for your podcast that is usually only available to my Podcast Online Course Clients (​Watch "Create Buzz & Fun Actitivies for your Podcast Launch Day & beyond HERE"​).

But here's the thing.

Maybe you don't feel like going big. Maybe you want to go SMALL.

I felt the same way. This time around I did not want to do anything grand. I just wanted this launch to be more intentional, for me. A launch ritual that would nourish and honour that I have made it here. Even more so as it has been such an intense journey to get here.

So in this episode you will here's what I did this time around. In it I share how I launched my new season - so very different from how I usually did it.

Because who says that a launch has to be big all the time?

A launch is a launch no matter in which way you decide to put your beautiful podcast in the world.

It can be big. It can be small. Or something in between.

I wonder, how would you launch your podcast if today was your launch day? Picture it. Feel it. Because your launch day will come. And please do share your launch episode with me when it does. I would love to listen.

Yours,

Regina

Listen to an audio gift I created for my family:

PS: Although I mention in the episode that I always have kept these gifts private, I just realised I actually did air ONE SINGLE of these private audio gifts on my flagship #impact channel. It was the very hard covid christmas when we were still living in Hong Kong and we missed our family in Europa after almost 2 years not seeing each other so very much. You can listen to the episode here: https://www.hashtagimpact.com/podcasts-impact-host-regina-larko-shares-end-of-year-thoughts/

You committed. You set a date to accomplish the next milestone for your podcast (to start it - to launch it- to market it.) But then, well, then things went to sh** Or maybe they didn't even go to sh**, maybe you just got really busy, or a new job, or a new projector a new whatever. So now you have two choices. ​

You can either

1) beat yourself up and obsess about it OR

2) you move on and keep dreaming your podcast dream as you readjust your plans.

I really wanted to offer you some raw Regina, after I just managed to somehow mess up my own time plan which led to missing the school bus for my oldest on what felt like the rainiest and windiest winter day ever.

(Gosh, me and my 3 little ones did look hilarious in our winter/raincoat outfits and racing to catch the bus...)

And while we are at not keeping (time) plans...

I was meant to send out this email to you already a few days ago, and actually I had planned to produce a much more sophisticated, polished tip for you.

As it turns out though, it proves my point. We plan, we schedule. And then things fall apart. Life is messy, we are messy.

So I want to encourage you to move past obsessing over getting everything right and exactly according to plan and instead keep moving forward.

Don't ever, EVER give up on your podcast dream, just because you have to readjust certain (time) plans, promise me that. Don't beat yourself up about it.

And you will get there. (As did my daughter who did manage to catch the next bus and made it to school on time. YAY! That's a win!)
