Podcasts So Good Your Audience Can't Unhear Them w/Tamsen Webster

I LOVE people who make me think and when I started reading the book Find Your Red Thread: Make Your Big Ideas Irresistible, I couldn't put it down (and it's now available on Audible). It helps you understand your audience and their main goal. Then you identify how you need to describe what you want them to do in a way that they see their problem in a different way.

Your message is the words you need to say to an audience about your idea to achieve a particular outcome. Find everything at www.tamsenwebster.com

We Want to Connect with People

Today I am joined by one of my favorite people in the "podcast guru" space Matthew Passy from thepodcastconsultant.com where he offers many different services from podcast audits, launches, editing, and Towncast Studios. 

He also has two podcasts. Causepods and Podcast Me Anything.

You will hear when we are talking about the ins and outs of consulting that Matthew talks about admitting if you don't know an answer to say that, and then go find the answer. I couldn't agree more. He's the real deal.

I see people who want MORE downloads, and yet they have not listed their show on all the different directories. Why is that? Is this some type of strategy?

Examining Listener Feedback

Jim and Dave and back, but at a special time (1:30 PM ET) as Dave has a special event he had to attend. Two hours before we started the show we got a GIANT letter filled with feedback. It was so appreciated as the person put a ton of effort into it. It got us to think, but in the end the things that motivate me to change the show are:

1. Does it make it less stressful to create the show 

2. Does it deliver more value to the audience.
