Podcasting: a tool to personal growth? 🤔
Hey, Podcasters!
Today, we're exploring a different podcasting perspective...
While podcasts are certainly a great tool for marketing and brand building, we've discovered that starting a podcast can also serve as a valuable tool for personal growth and development.
The process of developing ideas and creating content can be a rewarding experience. And hosting a podcast can help you build confidence, improve your public speaking skills, and develop your ability to connect with others on a deeper level.
But that's really just the tip of the iceberg...
1️⃣ Podcasting allows for the acquisition of a variety of skills, including equipment knowledge, script-writing, content research, and effective storytelling.
2️⃣ Podcast hosts can gain more in-depth subject knowledge through interviews and research, potentially leading to career advancements, or other cool opportunities.
3️⃣ Consistent podcasting can establish the host as an authority or expert in their niche, which can lead to speaking gigs or guest spots on other podcasts.
4️⃣ Podcasting enables hosts to develop a unique voice and the opportunity to share their story with the world, leading to a feeling of connectedness and potential impact on others.
5️⃣ The confidence gained through podcasting is a massive benefit, as it challenges you to push out of your comfort zones and overcome fears.

Do You Already Have What It Takes to Run a Successful Podcast? I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Gareth Davies, a music producer and now podcast host of not one but two shows! (Gareth’s full In The Spotlight interview is linked below.) And something he said got me thinking about ➡️ transferable skills ➡️. And how – I'd argue, more than almost any other industry – the podcasting space celebrates this idea of transferable skills. And that’s because a successful podcast involves so...
The One About Taking Action Carli and I were doing some “serious business brainstorming” the other day. And at some point in the “very serious brainstorming”, we rabbit-holed (as you do) down a path that led to, at the time, a very natural follow-up question, “So, what’s your go-to karaoke song?” FUN FACT: Carli’s is “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. (Classic!) Mine is Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby”. 🧊 Less classic. I know. But, for whatever reason, many moons ago, I had this brainwave...
