04/06/21 • 38 min

Welcome to PodOn, the podcast where we share stories from other podcasters and talk with them about the challenges we all face when beginning the podcasting journey. If you are a podcaster, we would love to hear your story and your feedback. If you love this podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends.

We are all storytellers, and it would be a disservice to the world to stop anyone from sharing their content; yet, as popular as it is today, podcasting isn’t necessarily an accessible industry. In today’s episode, TJ and Julian sit down to chat with Jay LeBoeuf, Head of Business Development at Descript, to talk about the diversity of the industry, the importance of inclusion, and how a single tool is making a major paradigm shift in the podcasting ecosystem through empowerment. Are you eager to start your new podcast? Then find a way and start today!

Jump straight into:

(00:45) - Paradigms and tools: On Jay’s Pro Tools and Descript journey - “So much of what we’ve been trying to do is take things and make them simpler.”

(06:49) - Solving the blank canvas problem, boosting creativity and making things simpler for any user - “There is really no reason why someone couldn’t tell their story using Descript.”

(13:23) - The high impact value of repurposing content and the magic of Descript’s stock voices - “In the context of every amazing conversation there are going to be several pull quotes, so why don’t we get those out there?”

(19:43) - Reframing old rules and creating inclusion with a single software - “When you’re working with a tool that’s revolving around transcription as its core DNA, you have no excuse to not make everything accessible.”

(24:50) - The thin line between high quality and over editing - “Yeah, with one click you can fix everything, but with a few more clicks you can back it off a little bit and insert some feeling.”

(29:56) - The revolution of the industry - “Every business person now has to be a creator in charge of their own messaging and communication style.”

If you are a podcaster, we would love to hear your story and your feedback. If you love this podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends.

Podcasting should be less about feeling overwhelmed and more about getting creative and enjoying the ride. In this PodOn episode, TJ and Julian talk about the importance of having realistic expectations, goals and ambitions when starting a podcast. The podcast industry has space to hold all of us, so let’s stop prioritizing “original ideas” and focus on creating great content instead. Stop overthinking and let’s get to work!

Jump straight into:

(00:27) - Avoid biting off more than you can chew - “Oftentimes the creative juices tend to fade because people realize the amount of work that goes into creating a particular show.”

(02:28) - The problem with the “original content only” approach - “The idea doesn’t always make the podcast successful, you as the host do.”

(03:45) - Same guest, different shows and how to get the Platinum Compliment - “Don’t be the person who’s asking the same questions over and over again, let your guests know you’re going to bring a fresh, different perspective.”

(05:09) - The thing with ambitious podcasts and the organizations that want to create them - “Understand that there are a lot of moving parts.”

(07:31) - Avoid paralysis by analysis at all costs - “I’m overthinking it, and I know I shouldn’t! I need to just get my recordings done, edit it and publish it.”

On this PodOn episode, Julian and TJ talk to Lessons From A Quitter’s Goli Kalkhoran, about her journey leaving her job, what it was like to start a podcast, and how she pushed through self doubt and limiting beliefs. They’ll touch on their serendipitous encounter at a podcasting fair and dive into Goli’s super encouraging tips on how to survive those first months of podcasting insecurities.

(02:34) - Goli’s life before podcasting and jumpstarting Lessons From a Quitter - “In 2016 I knew I was going to eventually start a podcast about this, but I had all these limiting beliefs and all these other stories about why I couldn't.”

(7:46) - Using podcasts to build your brand’s trust factor- “If you have more of a brand that you want to create, a really special thing about podcasting is that it's such an intimate medium.”

(12:06) - Goals and self doubt at the beginning - “It takes a year of podcasting to really feel like you know what you're doing.”

(16:04) - How Goli’s podcast grew into something else- “Sometimes it's just pushing through, but a lot of it was me really working on my mindset and realizing why am I doing this.”

(19:40) - On being too precious about your podcast - “Every time I've pivoted or done something else, it's always worked out really well, so I'm learning that to be less afraid.”

(23:27) - There are no overnight successes - “You're always comparing your step one to someone else's step 20, or step 30, or year 10.”

(27:28) - Why being multifaceted actually works - “People want you to be a full human, they don't necessarily need you to just be a brand.

To video podcast or not to video podcast? That is the question. On this PodOn episode, Julian and TJ sit down to talk about a common podcasting dilemma: “Should I do video too?”.

Jump straight into:

(04:00) - The pros and cons of producing video content - “It’s going to take more time, more money, more editing and more curation.”

(07:21) - It all comes down to the content - “While you want to create something that is visually and audibly appeasing, it is not as critical as it once was.”

04/20/21 • 9 min

Welcome to PodOn, the podcast where we share stories from other podcasters and talk with them about the challenges we all face when beginning the podcasting journey. If you are a podcaster, we would love to hear your story and your feedback. If you love this podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends.

On this PodOn episode, Julian and TJ get introspective and talk about a fragile topic: motivation. We’ve touched on the fadeout phenomenon before on this show and it is your level of motivation that can decide whether your show falls into fadeout or continues to grow. But don’t worry! Julian and TJ share the ultimate tips and tricks that will help you remember your initial excitement for podcasting and beat the non-recording avalanche. Join us on this episode and learn everything on batch recording, getting your times set, finding an accountability system, and getting your creative juices flowing again!

Jump straight into:

(00:27) - Why having a co-host is definitely helpful - “From a motivation standpoint, when you are working with team members, or it is a larger team, you want to make sure that everybody's holding themselves accountable, including yourself as a host.”

(02:52) - Beat the avalanche: On batch recording and setting specific times - “Once you get that avalanche of non-recording, it will only become bigger and stronger and eventually it's just going to crumble you.”

(03:33) - Record anyway!- “Even if you're not in a fancy studio or have a fancy mic at home, bust out your phone and just talk about a topic that you're passionate about.”

(07:15) - Give yourself time and get comfortable - “A lot of shows out of the gates that are like, ’We have to be a weekly show’. You don't, you really don't.”

(08:14) - TJ and Julian’s final advice: Build an accountability support system - “Find that friend who's going to call you out to make sure that you're staying on top of things.”
