The Cave You Fear to Enter Holds The Treasure You Seek

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell

This quote applies to start a podcast. It’s tough at the beginning, but it becomes gratifying throughout the journey. In this episode of the Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan takes us closer to the world of podcasting. Matthew Thompson, the #1 podcaster right now in Belfast, discusses with Gavan some great tips for those who are thinking of starting a podcast.

Starting a podcast and creating great content for it is definitely no joke. You have to be your own speaker, writer, producer, and editor among other stuff. Most importantly, you have to have to be motivated to provide value among the listeners. Make sure to tune in to know more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gavan waited for six weeks to open the boxes, containing the containing podcasting equipment, because of fear. He had to learn everything about podcasting. When he started using the mic recorders, he had issues with how his voice came out. Sometimes, it was too monotonous or sometimes, he can tell from hearing his own voice that he loses his flow. Tips on Podcasting: Shure mv88 – A microphone you can plug on your mobile easily. Anchor – Install on your mobile so you can record a podcast on-the-go. The Anchor app is available on iOS and Google Play. Stop reading scripts verbatim. Make PowerPoint slides to help you structure your discussion. Learn how the basics of producing, editing and publishing your own podcast. Take note that the beginning will be the most difficult. Always continue learning.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you’re too scripted, it turns into an audiobook.” “That’s why podcasting is exploding now… It’s because of its so many barriers for entry. You have to be a producer… you have to be a good editor… you have to be a good public speaker… The more barriers you can remove from your life, the more shows you make.” “You, especially who loves the journey and taking people on the journey… you should love the fact that people will look back in 10 years’ time and laugh at your first episodes… They’ll say, ‘Look at how crappy he started, and look at where he is now.’”
