Podcasting Can Bring You Out Of Your Shell

Podcasting is great for introverts as you get to meet thousands of people without meeting thousands of people. You can then meet the like-minded people you attract, and eventually, get up enough nerve to meet people you have nothing in common with.

You Don't Need to Buy Top-Notch Uber Expensive Gear

If you wait to start your podcast until you can spend THOUSANDS on equipment, don't. You can start a solo podcast for less than a price of an xbox.

What Amazing Tips You Can Learn From the Beatles and Kiss To Grow Your Podcast Like a Rock Star

The formula for many successful musicians is to take their influences and mix them into something new and unique. I recently watched a few documentaries, and as a musician, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to music history, especially around rock and roll, and today I've got some great stories that can help your podcast.

Rockstar Lessons From the Beatles and Kiss

• Start with your why
• Same but different
• Sharpen your axes
• Make your show hard to copy
• Sacrifices will be made
• Friendly competition is good
• Don't promote until your audience says its good
• Get people talking about you
• Money changes everything
• Don't be bored

I think the item that really made me go "Whoa!" was the Beatles having the option to come to the US, and they postponed it until they had a hit. Likewise, Kiss walking out on a record deal as the music wasn't right.

Joe Rogan Quote:
What I tell people about podcasting is you can't make money in podcasting if you're trying to do podcasting to make money. But if you want to do a good job, just want to make great podcast and you just keep doing it, I can't guarantee, but you probably will make money.

Two Ways To Learn Things

You can learn from your mistakes and do less of those.

You can also look at anything that worked well and do more of that. 

This week I talk about episode 780 with Adam Curry. I had more people connect with me to say, "Hey, I really liked that interviewed" and I started asking them WHY? What made it stick out? Today I share their answers.
