Episode #026 - Today’s episode of the podcast is going to be a little different. It’s just me, no guest, just me myself and I talking into the microphone. This is episode 26 of the podcast and I’m yet to do a solo episode. It’s something I’ve been holding off doing for a while and I have no real excuse as to why. I’ve loved having the guest format so far. It’s been an incredible way of networking with some inspiring people and getting my podcast off the ground, but I feel now is the time to incorporate some solo episodes as a way of building more of a brand around myself rather than just the guy that asks questions. I want to also use it as a way as becoming more comfortable talking over an extended period of time as I’d love to start guesting on other people’s podcasts but I don’t want to hop on a call with another great podcast host who’s taking time out of their day to let me guest on their show and then have nothing to say. I want the episode to be the best it can be and to do so I’m going to have to become better at talking about myself and what I do.
So now diving into what todays episode is actually going to be about. Podcasting is something that I’ve always been incredibly interested in. I’ve been actively listening to podcasts for a while now, in particular business podcasts and it just sparked an idea. Why on earth am I consuming this content where somebody is interviewing this incredibly successful business owner when I can also be a producer of this content?! If I start my own podcast not only will I gain the same knowledge that I’d be learning by listening to somebody else’s show, I’m going to be getting my own name out there, being the person speaking 1 to 1 with this successful individual and building a brand around my name?! It was a no brainer in my eyes.
So, for anyone listening who is on the fence about starting a podcast, this episode is going to be about why you need to start now. Or for those of you that haven’t previously thought about it or wanted to, it may also change your perception.
