Part of building an agency is handling all the tasking. Who works on who’s projects? Who is communicating with the client and making sure all gets done well? This was Derrick’s job when the number of clients was manageable, but as the agency grew, we realized it would be necessary to implement production managers.

So here are the 5 things to think about when implementing a production manager.

Change the Owner’s System to a Team Oriented System
Set Strong Communication Paths
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP’s)
Automating your System
Trusting the Contractors

Ahh good ol’ imposter syndrome. Where you feel like you’re not good enough, or even deserve to start a podcast. We’ve been there. But here’s the thing: “You should feel like a little bit of an imposter at the beginning… Because you’ve never done it! And isn’t that cool?”

Today we have two special guests: Kim Morrow and Johanna Beyer. They have their own podcast called Inside Journey where they share stories and tools to help people with their own internal struggles.

In our first 4 episodes, we walked through the process of starting a podcast. From an idea in your head, to an actual podcast on itunes, spotify, etc. This episode will focus on the mental roadblocks and fears of not being good enough; specifically about podcasting. Kim and Johanna are perfect for this because they are leadership coaches that focus on these types of internal struggles.

We learn about the mental struggles they have experienced when starting a podcast, and they give advice on how you can overcome this fear.
