When you get into podcasting, you get to decide how you want to bring that creativity to your Podcast. So, someone else’s format may not be your format. Someone else’s subject matter may not be your subject matter.  ● Bring all of your creativity there [in the podcast]—that is your place to play. ● You need a group of people to bounce ideas off of. And people who you trust and give you constructive feedback. ● When you first start, you shouldn’t overthink it. You should just get in there and start doing. But I think after a while you will start to think about ‘what is the sound that I’m trying to create?’ and be prepared that there will be lots of things to learn. ● Don’t think of other podcasters as your competition or your enemy; think of them as your support network. You lift up other podcasters; they’ll lift you up. And use them as a resource to find out ‘how can I do this thing better. Listen to other people’s shows, and work out for yourself what works for you and what doesn’t by listening to their show.  ● Every audience is not your audience. ● Building a community is paramount to not feeling isolated, especially when things get difficult. So, seek out a community that you can be a part of. Then build your individual tribe within that community. ● It really doesn’t matter how much you plan if you’re not executing. ● Perfectionism is a form of procrastination. ● It’s not about those numbers; it’s about the people who engage with you and provide that feedback.   Resources: Watch our live episodes on Youtube:...
