Balancing Passion and Logic in Podcasting: Strategies for Success


Today, Dave and Jim start off by looking at the motivational forces of a podcaster. "I think you need to be about 55% passion so that you have enough, "I MUST do this, and 45% logic helps you then steer it in the right direction." You need both for success.

Also, maybe NOT start a podcast.

Insights and Surprises: Podcast Movement Reflections with Dave Jackson


I'm back from Podcast Movement Evolutions in LA. I learned some cool stuff, and YouTube did a presentation and I point out the good, the bad, and the confusing. 

I also point out some people who got busted doing things that could really damage podcasting's integrity.

My friends Harry and Kevin boil down podcast monetization to a single question.

I've got a new giveaway, that gets you educated and promoted at the same time.

The Art of Podcast Feedback: Public or Private?


In this episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach," we dive into the nuances of adding enhanced content like slides to your YouTube videos. I discuss with Jim the evolving landscape of podcasting, the tricky transition from hobby to business, and the balance needed when offering personalized coaching.

We also touch on the significance of community-driven podcasting and the essence of constructive feedback. Additionally, we share our personal experiences with website migration and the tribulations of various hosting platforms. As always, we celebrate our supporters in our "wheel o' names" segment, encourage listener engagement, and humorously banter about everything from pizza pilgrimages to tight jeans, all while anticipating next week's exciting insights.
