Podcast Lessons, Legacy, and Love

We lost Dan Miller a few weeks ago, and Dan was someone who I always walked about smarter after talking to him. I had him on the first episode of the Grow Your Community show, and today I'm replaying that episode. I also learned that Lee Silversteen who appeared on episode 539 has run out of options in regards to battling his cancer. So this episode is a bit "dark" but, well, sometimes life is dark...

The question of the month returns next week.

About Dan Miller

Dan is the author of the books 48 Days to the Work (and life) You Love, No More Dreaded Mondays, Wisdom Meets Passion, and more (check out his author page at Amazon).

His podcast is always bursting with common sense and insights that are often missing in today's business leaders. Dan speaks the truth based on his decades of helping entrepreneurs meet their goals.

About Lee Silverstein

Lee Silverstein was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 13 years ago. He started the podcast he needed to hear when the doctor said, "You have cancer." He has inspired MULTIPLE podcasts, and his legacy will live on long after Lee. From his Facebook page, Lee recently posted:

I feel it’s time to make this official. After close to 13 years there are no more treatment options available to me. 
I have begun in-home hospice service.
I’m quite comfortable and not in any pain.
I have far outlived any oncologist’s predictions and I'm grateful for that.
I’m at peace and have no regrets.

You give a podcast to a teach and they see it as a tool to help people learn.

You give a podcast to a marketer and they see it as a too tool to sell.

You give a podcast to a guy with stage 4 colon cancer, and he sees it as a tool to inspire. (and he did).

Will “Verified” Downloads Ruin Podcast Advertising?

Today I share parts of a conversation I had, but as I'm saying my negative opinion of a certain practice, I'm not saying the company, and I've replaced the actual guest with an AI-Generated voice (from 11 labs). If you plan on paying for a service to promote your show, this is a MUST LISTEN. We also talk about Apple evaporating your downloads is a GOOD thing.

Again, the voice you hear as the "Guest" is AI generated from a transcript of the conversation.

Understanding Copyright and Liability in Podcasting with Gordon Firemark

NOTE: The LEgal talk starts at 44:00

I put out a short yesterday that got 2000+ views where my videos get around 200 views (that is 6% of my 3000 subscribers). This did result in 2 people subscribing to my show (so .1% growth). Then I dug in a bit deeper and saw how far they watched and it was 23 out of 58 seconds (40%). That is interesting and hearbreaking.

Achieve More, Faster: The Insider's Guide to the Impactful Benefits of Hiring a Coach

Today I share a story where I took information I was going to publish as an episode, but put it out as a newsletter instead as I was worried it would make me look Salesy. Today I share how I found out that message really resonated with my audience, and now I'm using it here. 

I also share how getting a GOOD coach can save you TONS of time and HEADACHES and that is often WAY MORE than the price you are paying.

YOU:

• Avoid common mistakes
• Learn the shortcuts you only learn from doing
• If you're in a community, you get to network with or creators

All of the above can lead to less stress, and more production.

Editing Lessons: AI Tools are Not Quite There

Editing is a subjective art form that often includes the words, "It depends" when explaining how to do it. Today we start off with Ralph From AskRalph.com who shares somewhat of a nightmare he ran into when he let AI do ALL the editing.

 

I also say AI instead of being Artificial Intelligence should be looked at as Assisted Intelligence because AI gets us 80-90% of the way there and you ALWAYS need a human to take one more pass to approve any edits.
