Lisa Gerber of The Gear Show

In episode seven of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Lisa Gerber, owner of Big Leap Creative and host of The Gear Show.

After making her name as a communications pro and marketer, Lisa decided she wanted to attract more clients in the space - outdoor lifestyle - she was interested most in, and The Gear Show was born.

Talking with the people behind her favourite brands and companies, The Gear Show pivoted somewhat after 10 episodes, to feature more on the people behind the corporate front.

Topics up for discussion this week include:

How the loss of clients and talking to friends led to the show ideaHow she started the show talking about gear before pivotingWhy she pivoted to more personal stories behind the gear headsHow she makes her guests feel comfortableWhy researching guests makes for a richer experienceWhy Howard Stern's interview technique is what she aims forThe interviews that have had the most impact on herWhy new podcasters should just start and not overthink thingsHow she won her school's award for a foreign language

Settle back for a fun, engaging chat about following your dreams, and why you should never be afraid to change even when something has been going for a while.
