If you&#39;re wondering how to stop comparing your podcast to other podcasters, one thing you have to understand is that everybody is on a different journey. Someone else&#39;s equipment, studio, confidence, or experience doesn&#39;t mean your podcast isn&#39;t working. I&#39;ve caught myself doing this. I would get around podcasters who had been doing this longer than me and start looking at their equipment, their studios, and how good they sounded. Eventually, I realized I wasn&#39;t necessarily doubting my podcast. I was comparing my podcast. In this episode, I talk about what changed when I stopped looking at other podcasters as competition and started looking at them as people I could learn from. After producing 893 podcast episodes, I&#39;ve had a lot of practice. I&#39;ve made mistakes. I&#39;ve changed equipment. I&#39;ve asked questions. I&#39;ve learned from other people. I&#39;ve had recordings where things went wrong and I had to figure out what happened. That&#39;s part of the journey. In this episode, I talk about: • Why you shouldn&#39;t compare your podcast to someone else&#39;s• Why podcasting takes time to develop• Why more reps can help you improve• Why you don&#39;t need expensive equipment before you start If you&#39;re early in your podcast journey, don&#39;t look at somebody who has been podcasting for years and assume you&#39;re supposed to be where they are. Look at where you are today. Learn. Apply it. Get your reps. Then keep going.

Stop Comparing Your Podcast to Other Podcasters

If you&#39;re wondering how to stop comparing your podcast to other podcasters, one thing you have to understand is that everybody is on a different journey. Someone else&#39;s equipment, studio, confidence, or experience doesn&#39;t mean your podcast isn&#39;t working.

I&#39;ve caught myself doing this.

I would get around podcasters who had been doing this longer than me and start looking at their equipment, their studios, and how good they sounded.

Eventually, I realized I wasn&#39;t necessarily doubting my podcast.

I was comparing my podcast.

In this episode, I talk about what changed when I stopped looking at other podcasters as competition and started looking at them as people I could learn from.

After producing 893 podcast episodes, I&#39;ve had a lot of practice. I&#39;ve made mistakes. I&#39;ve changed equipment. I&#39;ve asked questions. I&#39;ve learned from other people. I&#39;ve had recordings where things went wrong and I had to figure out what happened.

That&#39;s part of the journey.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why you shouldn&#39;t compare your podcast to someone else&#39;s
• Why podcasting takes time to develop
• Why more reps can help you improve
• Why you don&#39;t need expensive equipment before you start

If you&#39;re early in your podcast journey, don&#39;t look at somebody who has been podcasting for years and assume you&#39;re supposed to be where they are.

Look at where you are today.

Learn.

Apply it.

Get your reps.

If you have a podcast, how do you know what your audience actually needs from you? In this episode, I talk about the importance of listening to your podcast audience and paying attention to their questions, struggles, hesitation, and feedback. I recently taught an in person podcast workshop, and instead of only giving people information about podcasting, we helped them actually apply what they learned and record.  That experience gave me a different perspective on how people learn and what can hold someone back from launching their podcast. Your audience can tell you a lot about what they need, but you have to listen, ask better questions, process the feedback, and determine what makes sense to apply. We also talk about why podcasting can be simple without being easy, starting with the equipment you already have, and determining the outcome you want your podcast to create.

If you are wondering how many podcast episodes you should record, understand that one episode is only the starting point.  The more you record, the more opportunities you have to improve, build trust, and give people something to discover. In this episode, I talk about why I continue to focus on the next podcast episode instead of expecting one episode to create all the results.

If you’re wondering how a podcast can help your business, it can give you a platform to build trust, start relationships, create valuable content, and give people a way to learn more about you. In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I talk about why I believe your podcast is more valuable than you may realize. Over the last half a decade, we’ve produced over 893 podcast episodes while helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcast in a short span of time. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that podcasting is not just about recording content. Your podcast gives people space to share their story. It gives you an opportunity to listen. It gives you an opportunity to learn. And it gives you a way to start relationships with people you may not have connected with otherwise. In this episode, I break down three things: Why you should lead with valueWhy you have to develop your platformWhy you have to put time into your podcast I also share how podcasting has helped me connect with entrepreneurs, executives, CEOs, athletes, business owners, and other leaders over the years. Your podcast can become a way for people to research you, listen to you, understand what you do, and learn more about your business. The media you create today can also continue introducing you to people later. That is why I said during this episode: “Media never dies.” If you’re a business owner thinking about starting a podcast, do not only look at the podcast as another piece of content you have to create. Think about the platform you are building. Think about the relationships you can establish. Think about the trust you can build. And think about the value you can create.

How Can a Podcast Help Your Business?

If you’re wondering how a podcast can help your business, it can give you a platform to build trust, start relationships, create valuable content, and give people a way to learn more about you.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I talk about why I believe your podcast is more valuable than you may realize.

Over the last half a decade, we’ve produced over 893 podcast episodes while helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcast in a short span of time.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that podcasting is not just about recording content.

Your podcast gives people space to share their story.

It gives you an opportunity to listen.

It gives you an opportunity to learn.

And it gives you a way to start relationships with people you may not have connected with otherwise.

In this episode, I break down three things:

Why you should lead with value
Why you have to develop your platform
Why you have to put time into your podcast

I also share how podcasting has helped me connect with entrepreneurs, executives, CEOs, athletes, business owners, and other leaders over the years.

Your podcast can become a way for people to research you, listen to you, understand what you do, and learn more about your business.

The media you create today can also continue introducing you to people later.

That is why I said during this episode:

“Media never dies.”

If you’re a business owner thinking about starting a podcast, do not only look at the podcast as another piece of content you have to create.

Think about the platform you are building.

Think about the relationships you can establish.

If you are trying to figure out how to use a podcast to build trust, one of the biggest things to understand is that podcasting is not only about recording content. You also have to think about the experience you are creating for the people you want to reach. In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I talk about why your customer’s journey is so important and how I started applying this to our own podcast production process. I break down three things: How to create your customer’s pathWhy you should go through your own processHow to identify what makes you different I also share what happened when we tested our live podcast experience at a vendor event. Before the event, I practiced the process. I put the equipment up. I took it down. I timed myself. I looked at what the customer would see. I kept asking what was working, what was not working, and what could be improved. Then we tested it with real people. Seven entrepreneurs experienced the podcast activation and five paid. That experience helped me understand that the focus could not only be on what we wanted to sell. The focus had to be on the customer. Podcasting can also help people learn about you before they ever have a conversation with you. They can hear your story, understand your business, and start building trust with you. If you are a business owner thinking about using podcasting to become more visible, build trust, and share your story, this episode will help you think differently about the experience you are creating.

Why Your Podcast Needs a Customer Journey

If you are trying to figure out how to use a podcast to build trust, one of the biggest things to understand is that podcasting is not only about recording content. You also have to think about the experience you are creating for the people you want to reach.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I talk about why your customer’s journey is so important and how I started applying this to our own podcast production process.

I break down three things:

How to create your customer’s path
Why you should go through your own process
How to identify what makes you different

I also share what happened when we tested our live podcast experience at a vendor event.

Before the event, I practiced the process. I put the equipment up. I took it down. I timed myself. I looked at what the customer would see. I kept asking what was working, what was not working, and what could be improved.

Then we tested it with real people.

Seven entrepreneurs experienced the podcast activation and five paid.

That experience helped me understand that the focus could not only be on what we wanted to sell.

The focus had to be on the customer.

Podcasting can also help people learn about you before they ever have a conversation with you. They can hear your story, understand your business, and start building trust with you.

If you are a business owner thinking about using podcasting to become more visible, build trust, and share your story, this episode will help you think differently about the experience you are creating.

How do you follow up with podcast leads without feeling like you are bothering people? One of the biggest things I am learning is that the conversation has to continue. Someone showing interest in your podcast, registering for your training, or having one conversation with you does not mean the relationship is finished. In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I share what finally made follow up make sense to me. I recently had four entrepreneurs register for my Launch Your Podcast in Less Than 90 Minutes training. When the training started, none of them showed up. Instead of assuming they were no longer interested, I started calling and texting them. Two of the four responded. That taught me something. The conversation can continue. In this episode, I talk about: • Why one conversation is not enough• Why follow up matters in business• How communication helps build trust After producing 893 podcast episodes, I am recognizing that podcasting is not only about creating content. It can help you start conversations and build relationships, but those relationships still have to be maintained.

Have you ever wondered what actually goes into launching a podcast? In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I&#39;m bringing you behind the scenes while I set up my cameras, microphones, lights, and teleprompter to record a new video for the Failure Is Knowledge website. I&#39;m also sharing why I&#39;ve continued changing our messaging, what producing more than 893 podcast episodes has taught me, and why I believe business owners should start their podcast with what they have. Launching a podcast can feel like a lot. You have to think about the equipment, recording, editing, publishing, content, and staying consistent. But you don&#39;t have to figure out everything before you start. When I started, my tripod wasn&#39;t even tall enough.  I had to put three books underneath it just to get the camera where I needed it. Over time, I upgraded my equipment and continued learning. That&#39;s one of the biggest lessons from this episode: Start with what you have.

Are you an organization looking to host an event, record content, or document your process? Choosing the right production company can determine whether an important moment becomes valuable marketing content or disappears after the event is over. What the Episode Covers In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey explains three things to look for when choosing a production company: ConsistencyCommunicationFast turnaround Terryl also shares how he started recording podcast episodes with a phone, a short tripod, and three books underneath it. Over time, he realized that production was not only about recording video. It was also about documenting the process, creating proof, marketing the business, and helping the moment reach people who were not in the room. Main Lessons-A production company must consistently capture important moments.-A camera is a tool for marketing and proof.-Communication should happen before, during, and after production.-Customers should not have to guess whether their footage is being edited.-Fast turnaround helps businesses publish and promote their content sooner.-Once a moment is captured, the footage can continue being used for years. An event may only have 30 people in the room, but recorded footage can reach hundreds or thousands of new people. Without production, the people who were not in the room may never understand what happened, what was taught, or what value was provided. Production helps make the moment last.
