Podcasting For Business
I never thought I ever really said it, until I did a webinar for Founder Institute Keystone this week on Podcasting For Business, but there are more than one way to tackle podcasting for your business.
There's the talking heads method, where two people chat about a topic and have a conversation. Sometimes one is the host and the other is the guest.
Another is just the monologue podcast. Where one person pontificates into the microphone/camera about a topic.
But there are so many other ways to do a podcast. Some of which don't even involve having one of your own! Yea, you can be on other people's podcasts and never have your own and reap the rewards. More on this later.
I've seen non-fiction podcasts take a cue from the fiction-side of the podcast realm with a more narrative story arc. I've even heard a business podcast about copywriting done in a detective narrative. The sky really is the limit.
You Can Also Skip Hosting A Podcast And Just Be A Guest! 😎
Now I know I kind of slipped in there that you can be on podcasts and not have your own and still benefit from using podcasts to generate business or increase your brand equity.
In my opinion this is a great way to start and figure out if you want to do your own show. You can see how others do their shows and if you can pick and choose techniques that you like and apply them to your own podcast when you indeed launch it.
You Can Do Both!!!! 🤯
I've seen people do both, have their own shows and do guesting on other people's shows. Honestly, that's what I do. It's the best of both worlds.
So regardless how how you start podcasting, you should be doing something with this medium. It's powerful.
If you have questions about how to go about getting into podcasting? Drop me a message. I've been podcasting for 12 years and have done a number of shows. In addition, I've been on quite a few other podcasts as well.

I recently moved to iOS from Android and with that I went to Overcast for my podcast listening. Prior to that I was using Pocket Casts, which is now run by Automattic. Recently, last Saturday, I decided to go back to Pocket Casts and I'm glad I did. They have a folders for organizing the podcasts and really good directory to find new shows and a good app for Windows and Mac as well as both mobile platforms.
I'm really liking it now that I'm back. Will I try others, sure. But I always seem to come back to Pocket Casts.
