373 - Building a Spin-Off Podcast Without Restarting
One podcaster’s history show is connecting with both parents and kids. But now comes the hard part: should they launch a separate kids’ podcast or add child-friendly episodes to their existing feed? We dig into discovery, audience habits, and the challenge of serving two groups without creating double the work. We share creative ways to test ideas, and we also talk about the importance of listening to your audience and treating their feedback as a gift that can guide your next move. Since it’s Friday, we wrap up with community wins, celebrating achievements both big and small.

00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Good morning podcasting Morning
Chat.
2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Today is Friday, September 19th,
2025 and today one listener's
3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,400
podcast is getting love from
both parents and kids.
4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,040
But now comes the hard part.
How do you serve both without
5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,760
starting from scratch?
So if you're listening live on
6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Clubhouse, hit the share button,
bottom left hand side of the
7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,840
screen and share it however
Clubhouse lets you.
8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,600
And if you're listening live on
YouTube or via podcast, please
9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,680
share this episode with a fellow
podcaster.
10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,080
And now give me about 30 seconds
and we'll get things rolling.
11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:01:22,370
Thanks for being here.
Good morning again, podcasting,
12
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:24,250
Morning Chat.
Thanks so much for being here.
13
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,520
I am your host, Mark Ronic, and
on stage with me, I'm giggling.
14
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,960
I'll tell you in a second.
We have producer Ashley Feller,
15
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:36,120
Alex Baelish, Jonathan Howard,
Dr. Fey and Matt Bliss.
16
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,920
And then there's Sid Meadows,
who's somehow in the audience.
17
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,200
Here we go.
Usually here on Clubhouse, our
18
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,920
team automatically pops up on
stage because of the back end
19
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,480
and how we set it up, but Sid
and Matt both were popped in the
20
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120
audience this morning first
thing and then we were having
21
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,520
trouble bringing Sid up.
Anyway, welcome to the show.
22
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Today is Friday, so we will be
sharing our wins from the week
23
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600
toward the second-half of the
show.
24
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,160
As I teased, we're going to dig
into a topic that I feel like is
25
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
a good.
A good what?
26
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,720
What's the word I'm looking for?
It's appropriate considering the
27
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200
conversation that we had
yesterday about rebranding and
28
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,080
it's not quite a rebrand, but
that's why I think it's good to
29
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,800
dig into it today and not part
of yesterday because I think it
30
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,440
would have brought us a down a
different Rd.
31
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,120
But here we are.
So before we do as I've been
32
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,480
doing the last few days, it's
our countdown to the Empowered
33
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,640
Podcasting Conference.
We are officially one week away.
34
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,680
7 days from right now we will be
doing the show live.
35
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,200
We'll be doing the show live
from Charlotte, NC at the hotel
36
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,880
at the Hyatt Centric leading up
to Friday's activities and I am
37
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
excited about that.
We did that last year and had a
38
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,680
blast doing that and I think
we'll have more people from the
39
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,760
podcasting morning chat
community there this time.
40
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,200
So I'm hoping Sid might take a
break from his walks and join us
41
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,040
live in person on Friday
morning.
42
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
So I won't be able to, I'll be
on a plane or on my way to the
43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,560
airport because my flight is at
8:00 in the morning.
44
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,920
So I'll be, I'll be driving to
the airport.
45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,240
I will miss, I'll be on the call
or on the in the room as much as
46
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
I can, but I will be driving.
So you'll miss me by a few
47
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,840
hours.
I get there around noon, I
48
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,040
think.
And good morning, by the way.
49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Yes.
Good morning, Sid.
50
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Did you have something, Dr.
Well, I wanted to know where you
51
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:48,200
are mentally because you've been
very open about your challenges
52
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,800
with ADHD and a little bit of
anxiety.
53
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
And where are you mentally right
now?
54
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,880
And can you compare it to where
you were mentally this time last
55
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,960
year?
And maybe this time last month.
56
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,920
Yeah, I I am in great spirits.
I think Sid called me out when I
57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,120
had that call with him the other
day after the show.
58
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,519
Just how when I was sharing part
of my journey, you know, it, it
59
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,880
was feeling maybe to some people
like, uh oh, is this whole thing
60
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,280
going to happen?
And quite frankly, I was in that
61
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,840
headspace too, wondering if I
was going to be able to pull it
62
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,720
off because there were a lot of
challenges, both personally, as
63
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,880
they are shared with my ADHD
stuff and coming off the
64
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,920
medication for ADHD and trying
to navigate.
65
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Yeah, right.
Exactly, exactly.
66
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
If it hadn't been for my high
blood pressure, I would have
67
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,800
probably still been on that
stuff.
68
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,080
But I'm actually glad that I'm
off it now.
69
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,120
And I feel like I'm finding my
rhythm a lot more.
70
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,760
I'm finding finding my ways of
navigating life and business and
71
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,920
all the things without the
medication.
72
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,400
And I think as far as the
conference itself and my
73
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,240
attitude around it now that
really pretty much all the
74
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,640
pieces are in place and
everything's ready to go, that
75
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,160
anxiety is a lot less than it's
been.
76
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,480
I'm feeling really good about
it.
77
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,960
And I've got to say this, this
is something I told Sid that I
78
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080
recognize.
And again, this, a lot of it
79
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,760
probably was my ADHD, But now
that I've got a little more of a
80
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,880
clear head and looking back at
it, I think for me it was let me
81
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
think if I can formulate my
thoughts at seven O 6 in the
82
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,920
morning.
I'll just say it was just really
83
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,520
challenging for me to to move
all the pieces, get them all
84
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,200
together.
And I got there right.
85
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,880
I think that once I started
really taking the small steps
86
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,200
toward the things that I didn't
want to do, because again, with
87
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,400
ADHD and the lack of motivation,
the lap of lack of dopamine, I
88
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640
think once I just, I started
saying to myself, Mark, just do
89
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,000
something.
Just do 1 little thing towards
90
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,440
that thing that I need to do.
And look, this is something that
91
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,720
I've learned a lot about over
time.
92
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Taking those small action steps
can create momentum and when I'm
93
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,840
struggling with my ADHD, those
kinds of tools sometimes go out
94
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,640
the window.
And I finally kind of
95
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,320
reconnected with the tool,
started just forcing myself when
96
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,040
I was in AI, don't want to do
that phase.
97
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,280
I just said do something.
And what I found was it did
98
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,760
create the momentum and I
started doing a lot more than
99
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,800
just that one little thing.
And that really helped get not
100
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,440
only get things done, but it got
me excited once I started
101
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,920
seeing, I'm putting these pieces
into place and then seeing
102
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600
results from it, right?
Like all of a sudden I started
103
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200
taking action and other things
for the event started happening.
104
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,600
Ticket sales started going up.
We had a few again yesterday.
105
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,960
So it, you know, we're, we're
inching toward our goal of 150
106
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160
people attending this event.
And I do think it has to do with
107
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,480
creating the momentum, creating
positive momentum.
108
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400
I think I'm learning a lot
through this process and
109
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,080
actually putting the tools into
place that I've learned a lot
110
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
about over the past, let's say,
handful of years as I've been
111
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,000
going on my own personal growth
journey.
112
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Are you documenting as you go?
Like, OK, ran into a snag on
113
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,680
this one, so next time I got a
blah, blah, blah.
114
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,120
Because sometimes once you get
to your goal, it's hard to look
115
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,240
back and say, oh, what was that
thing that I had a problem with?
116
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,280
Yeah, remember.
Yeah, that's a great point and
117
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,280
yes, we are.
So my Operations manager,
118
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Andrea, she's been doing a great
job of documenting those things.
119
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000
I'm documenting those things as
well.
120
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400
And during the event, we'll
continue to document those
121
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,760
things because we'll see if all
the efforts leading up to it,
122
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,640
you know, actually worked with
everything kind of fell into
123
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,760
place the way it was supposed
to.
124
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,680
And if not, let's take some
notes about it and see how we
125
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,920
can course correct it the
following year.
126
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,760
So yeah, I think we are doing a
good job of that and we'll see
127
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,880
what we'll see what happens.
Yeah.
128
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,800

Not really a question, just a

in on Friday, to be sure you
register for the party on Friday
142
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,120
night.
Mark, what was it you sent me?
143
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280
Sorry.
So sorry.
144
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,560
Yeah, no, that's totally lost it
my brain.
145
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,040
I appreciate you bringing it up.
We're doing the happy hour and
146
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,040
that is Friday night, the 26th
and we last minute worked
147
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,560
something out with Riverside.
Riverside is Co sponsoring the
148
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,800
event and part of that
arrangement they're buying the
149
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,920
first round of drinks.
So we'll have drink tickets for
150
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,120
everybody and we're asking
people to register ahead of
151
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,640
time.
It's not the end of the world if
152
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,080
you don't, but we're asking you
to register ahead of time so
153
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,080
that we can just get a good
headcount as far as those first
154
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,360
drinks go.
And this is open even if you
155
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,000
decide not to come to the
conference.
156
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
But for some reason you're in
the Charlotte area.
157
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,040
This is something that you're
more than welcome to come to and
158
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,200
join us.
It's outs.
159
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,880
It's away from the event, just
like 5 minutes away at a
160
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,040
separate location, and we want
to welcome every podcaster and
161
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,280
any podcaster in the area to
come join us for that.
162
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,200
So I'll share that link here in
just a minute.
163
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,880
I don't have it handy, and I
should have.
164
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,880
Thank you, Sid, for bringing
that up.
165
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800
I'll share that here, and I'll
share that in the show notes as
166
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,680
well.
OK, let's dig into the mailbag,
167
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,560
shall we?
Before we get into our wins from
168
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,680
the week, I thought, like I
said, that this would be an
169
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,760
appropriate one to dig into
after some of yesterday's
170
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,240
rebranding conversation.
It's got a different spin than
171
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,000
yesterday.
Comes from someone named Shay,
172
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,600
and Shay posted this in actually
the Buzz Sprout Facebook group.
173
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,320
Shay says.
I host a history podcast and I
174
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,800
have had a lot of requests to
create a version just for kids.
175
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,480
I'm torn over how exactly to do
that.
176
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Should I just add the kid
episodes to the regular podcast
177
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,520
clearly labeled As for kids?
Or do I create a whole separate
178
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,520
podcast just for kids?
I see pros and cons of both.
179
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,760
I don't want kids to get
confused and accidentally listen
180
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,880
to an episode an adult episode
if they're all on there
181
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,680
together.
Although the adult episodes are
182
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,040
mostly kid appropriate and many
kids already listen to them.
183
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,760
But I also don't want to start
all over from scratch with a new
184
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,480
show and also pay a whole lot
more in hosting fees for
185
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480
something that I'm not sure yet
even will take off.
186
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,360
What would you do?
Keep them all together as the
187
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,000
same podcast but clearly label
the kids episodes or create a
188
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,680
whole new podcast just for kids?
The regular show is history fix.
189
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:55,400
That's the name History Fix and
the kid version will be History
190
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Fix Kids, just to give you an
idea of how similar the 2 will
191
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,200
be.
I'm going to ask some questions
192
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,480
to really pull out all the
different details I think that
193
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,960
need to be considered if you're
going to do something like this.
194
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,240
So how do you think kids and
parents typically discover
195
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,120
podcasts?
Let's start there.
196
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,920
Would a separate kids feed make
it easier for them to find the
197
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,000
right content?
What are we thinking?
198
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,840
How do we use search for kids
podcast now you put kids podcast
199
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,720
in?
Right.
200
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,640
A lot of apps that are specific
to kids listening to podcasting,
201
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,960
although I'm sure there could
be.
202
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,560
Yeah, history for kids.
That would probably be what I
203
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:41,920
would put in the search history
for kids.
204
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Yep, Alex did.
Did you want to say something?
205
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,280
I would just put it on YouTube
in the beginning and say screw
206
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,200
it, and then see if it's going
to go and see if he wants to be
207
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,520
bothered with it.
Then make it its own feed and
208
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560
promote it through his main
podcast.
209
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,520
I know that might not be the
podcast the way, but it's a lot
210
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,480
easier in the beginning.
It's kind of like a soft launch.
211
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,600
And I mean, yeah, you can make
it its own feed.
212
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,160
I think that would be kind of
neat.
213
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,520
But if you make it its own feed,
are you going to do all the
214
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,520
things that go along with it?
I don't know.
215
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,120
I do like that idea, Alex.
I like that a lot of using
216
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,480
YouTube as the testing ground,
especially when we're talking
217
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,160
about kids shows because we know
kids are on YouTube a lot.
218
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Yeah, exactly.
Thank you, Alex.
219
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,800
I saw Sid wanted to say
something.
220
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Go ahead, Sid.
So I like what Alex is saying a
221
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,320
lot and just depending on
whether he's a YouTube caster or
222
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,600
I heard that somebody the other
day say vodcaster.
223
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,320
I think it would be a great idea
to test it inside of his current
224
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,960
feed and basically maybe
dedicate 1 episode a month to a
225
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,000
kid specific show.
Test it, look at the analytics
226
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,160
and if it's getting really good
feedback, then I would take it
227
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,400
and move it to its own feed and
create his own show.
228
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,680
It might even be a really fun
idea here for him to create a
229
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,480
history network where he's got
his adult show and his kids show
230
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280
and he's kind of building out a
network of shows under this
231
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,720
umbrella of history.
It's a way to keep them together
232
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,960
as well.
I mean, instead of cost more
233
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,520
money, obviously you're going to
have to pay additional hosting
234
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,560
fees and stuff like that, but
test it inside your current feed
235
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,600
dedicated to a kids show once a
month and then look at the
236
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720
analytics and move on to, if
it's working, move on to
237
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720
creating its own separate feed.
I like that.
238
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Yeah.
Thank you, Sid.
239
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,560
And yeah, as far as the costs
go, I know that like, for
240
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,360
example, if you're using Buzz
Sprout, if you get the, I think
241
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,320
it's the second tier available,
I think you then can have up to
242
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,720
five different podcast feeds
within the one account.
243
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,640
I believe that's how I
understand it.
244
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,800
And there are other platforms
like Buzz Sprout that do the
245
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,120
same.
Yeah.
246
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,920
But you still have to pay per
feed.
247
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,080
No, I think what I've read
recently is if you get their
248
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:09,080
$39.00 a month plan, you get up
to five podcasts within that one
249
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,400
account.
This is coming straight from
250
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Buzz Sprout.
I'll even make sure to share
251
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,240
this link in the show notes as
well, just in case anyone else
252
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,800
'cause I know there's been
confusion around that before.
253
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
So I think that is the case.
Dr. Did you want to add
254
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720
something?
Well, number one, there are free
255
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,360
platforms as well.
I have a client that's on Red
256
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Circle and I mean it's been a
couple years for us on red
257
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,680
circle and I have 0 complaints
about them.
258
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,960
Also, I was thinking that maybe
because we're always complaining
259
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,760
about so much screen time, get
off the screens.
260
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,960
So I was thinking that maybe you
could market the kids show as
261
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,400
something to fall asleep
listening to and still have it
262
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,280
as an audio.
So you're getting them off the
263
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,640
screen and it's something to
listen to at night.
264
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:13,440
And maybe the angle would be how
kids have changed history.
265
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
For instance, who was the kid
that was the king in?
266
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Was it Siam or Egypt or
something like that?
267
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Egypt I.
Think yes, yeah.
268
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,640
Yeah, that could be the theme of
how kids have changed history
269
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,120
and.
But make it like build it out
270
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,600
like a night time listening to
the show while you're in bed
271
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,040
kind of thing.
And maybe you might want to do
272
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,680
it, you know, the last Wednesday
of the month.
273
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Whatever show, whatever day your
regular show is on, make it that
274
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,000
same day, but do it the last
weekday of that month.
275
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,880
Yeah, I think that's a great
idea.
276
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,680
And I think, you know, it's easy
for your audience to remember if
277
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,200
you just always say, yeah, we're
doing history Fix kids the last
278
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Wednesday of every month.
Yeah, that's just a good
279
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,680
branding, a good marketing.
GR You want to put kids to
280
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,599
sleep?
I.
281
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,160
Do and hey, Matt, I'm coming to
you in just a second.
282
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,839
I did want to call out that
several people are sharing in
283
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,119
the chat a few different
platforms to consider based on
284
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,880
some of the things we're sharing
already.
285
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,319
Dave says Kids Pod is a screen
free podcast app for kids.
286
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,720
And I know Matt gives a vote for
Captivate FM as far as having
287
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,200
multiple shows under one plan.
And I'm looking here for some
288
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,200
others as well.
OK, so let's go to Matt.
289
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Matt, good morning to you.
What did you want to add to all
290
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,840
this?
I think the opportunity here for
291
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,360
this bloke isn't to just like
copy paste and direct the
292
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:48,240
content to a new feed that does
exactly the same thing but
293
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,720
directed for kids.
I think this is an opportunity
294
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,200
to get them the information, the
episodes directly into the kids
295
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,400
rooms without parental
intervention required and in a
296
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,800
way that allows you to get
almost automatic compensation
297
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,200
for it.
I think a premium product like a
298
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,480
small digital player that comes
with episodes on it, similar to
299
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,480
devices that kids have with
stories.
300
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,760
It's a player and you can buy
NFC cards that you tap against
301
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,560
the player and it plays a story.
There's very dedicated devices
302
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,920
like that directed for kids that
can play that content.
303
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,560
And I think this is a unique
opportunity for him to not just
304
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,040
duplicate another podcast feed
and count how many children have
305
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,200
downloaded his episodes for a
new feed.
306
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,080
But you know, have a look on
Aliexpress, see what kind of
307
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,120
really cheap playable speaker
embedded devices you can load an
308
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:57,960
entire podcast feed on and get
parents to pay $3040 for a
309
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,000
device and see what that uptake
is like.
310
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040
It's a little bit of extra work,
but it it depends on what the
311
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,640
goals are and, and where they
should go with it and what their
312
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,280
plans are.
Whether it's even a show that
313
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,680
they're trying to monetize, I
don't know.
314
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,360
But I think that the kids market
is a market to think differently
315
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,920
because they are a different
audience.
316
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,120
They come at it in a different
way.
317
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,760
And like the example I put in
the the room chat, thinking
318
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,920
about whether it should be a
separate feed or the same feed.
319
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,160
I compared watching television
and if you've got your kids in
320
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,160
front of TV watching Bluey and
then the TV accidentally
321
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,480
recommends Human Centipede to
after that, how horrified are
322
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,360
you going to be and how quick
are you going to get on that
323
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,920
remote?
And how entranced are the kids
324
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,960
going to be that they're not
even going to complain about it?
325
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,840
And it's not to that level.
Obviously that's a very extreme
326
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,760
case, but you know, you don't
want to go from here's the
327
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,120
unique history of how kids
interacted with the industrial
328
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:00,360
revolution and then have it move
on to the Hitler Ugand and how
329
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,600
they contributed to Nazi Germany
taking over the rest of Europe.
330
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,440
And I think it just has to be
different.
331
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,800
That's my main point.
But I think there's some unique
332
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,920
opportunities there to tackle it
differently.
333
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,840
Thank you, Matt.
And I overall agree with you.
334
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,160
And we do know that from this
podcaster, we do know that kids
335
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,640
have been already listening to
the regular podcast.
336
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
And by the way, the person's
name is Shay.
337
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,560
I'm assuming Shay is a woman and
I don't know how Shea identifies
338
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,200
so I personally am just going to
say she.
339
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,840
I know most of you been saying
he.
340
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,160
We don't know.
Anyway, I think that she has
341
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,440
said that kids are already
listening to it.
342
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,360
The show that she's already
producing is for the most part
343
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,800
pretty kid friendly kid
appropriate or her words.
344
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:54,080
And I do feel like we're, I'm
sensing from the post here that
345
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,880
she's concerned about creating
extra work without really
346
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,440
knowing if it's going to take
off.
347
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,280
I personally would tend to lean
towards something similar to
348
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,680
what Dr. is sharing, where if
you want to really test the
349
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,080
waters here, yeah, put it in
your own feed.
350
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,200
I just wouldn't do it often
because if you're making
351
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,560
specifically episodes for kids,
you might turn off your adult
352
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,080
audience if you're doing that
too much in the same feed.
353
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,560
So that's why I like D Rs idea
where we're we're just saying
354
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,640
once a month, the last Wednesday
of the month, we're doing the
355
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680
kid, you know, the history.
What is it called?
356
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,200
Whatever it is for kids history
fix kids at something like Alex
357
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,080
too, where he said maybe you
just try it on YouTube and see
358
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,440
how that goes for a little bit.
I appreciate the idea of testing
359
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,440
the waters if you don't know,
and it also might help save you
360
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040
a little bit of money.
I'm on the fence.
361
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Rez has been waiting patiently
on stage.
362
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,240
I want to make sure.
Rez, is there anything you
363
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,840
wanted to add to this?
I definitely would not do a
364
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,200
separate feed.
I if I understand correctly,
365
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,440
this is a podcast where parents
are probably going to make their
366
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,880
kids listen to it.
The kids are not probably going
367
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,040
to willingly listen to it if I'm
not understanding.
368
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,720
It's probably a little more rare
that kids would be off searching
369
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,920
for history podcasts on their
own.
370
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,440
I haven't.
Been around children like my
371
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,760
nephews and his friends and they
they're not going to volunteer
372
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,400
to listen to to a podcast in my
experience, but yeah.
373
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,520
And any podcast, I would argue
that like I, I, I think more and
374
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,800
more kids and according to a lot
of the studies that we've
375
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920
reported before, a lot of kids
are in fact now listening to
376
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,080
podcasts.
I specifically was suggesting I
377
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,040
don't know how many kids would
be searching for history
378
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,720
podcasts specifically, but who
knows.
379
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,520
Dr. Did you want to say
something?
380
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,480
This is coming from a child free
woman, so I don't know, but my
381
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,640
inclination was that we have to
categorize the age when we say
382
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,000
kids.
That's a big umbrella that we're
383
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,920
putting over it.
I'm getting vibes like, you
384
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,600
know, it's bedtime.
Come on.
385
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,680
You know the kind of the
younger.
386
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Yeah, and that's and it's
usually story time at bedtime
387
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,560
with kids.
Story time kids and making that
388
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,880
podcast a little bit more
immersive with some different
389
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,200
voices, with some music in the
background that is more kid
390
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,400
conducive.
So yeah, I mean, kids like story
391
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:39,080
time and story time could be
about something back in history.
392
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,320
So I think that this would be a
a really good go for them.
393
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Interesting points.
Again, based on what we've got,
394
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,360
the information that this person
has provided, it sounds like
395
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,760
they have kids listening already
because this, it sounds like
396
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,440
this podcaster wasn't
necessarily ever thinking about
397
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,800
doing a kids version, but
people, her audience are asking
398
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,440
for it.
That's what's prompted this
399
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,720
whole thing for this person.
So we know that she potentially
400
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,600
has an audience for it.
And again, I think my personal
401
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,000
opinion is don't change the
format instead of the term dumb
402
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040
it down.
Don't kid it down for just for
403
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,320
the sake of trying to appeal to
a bigger audience, because you
404
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,560
might then push away the older
audience, right?
405
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,360
So instead, yeah, I still think
really making an episode that
406
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,880
you are specifically targeting
kids.
407
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,480
I think that that makes sense to
me, as long as you are
408
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,680
sprinkling it in at first if
you're trying to avoid starting
409
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,520
a whole separate show right
away.
410
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,120
I think you're giving kids too
less credit.
411
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,880
But Alex, you're not going to
necessarily sit Lucy down and
412
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,120
watch something on The History
Channel that's made for
413
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,240
grown-ups, even if the language
is clean.
414
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,640
Let's say it's on World War 2.
Would you sit her in front of
415
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480
something at The History Channel
or something that was made for
416
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,000
kids to better understand World
War 2?
417
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,520
She's my kid.
Sometimes she just has to suck
418
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,200
it up and sometimes she'll
learn.
419
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,840
And I don't mean that to be
funny.
420
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,520
You want to get middle
schoolers?
421
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,720
You want to get elementary
school kids?
422
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,400
You want to get high schoolers?
Well, again, I think this also
423
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960
goes back to something Dr. was
saying that it depends on the
424
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,800
age range, right?
Like, we're going to make a very
425
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,920
different type of podcast for
kids that are, let's say, you
426
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,200
know, 6 to 10 years old versus
kids that are 12 to 18 years
427
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,440
old.
All I know is Sid agreed with me
428
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,920
and Matthew.
Like what I said, I'm done for
429
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,800
the bad.
OK, I'm so done.
430
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,080
Congratulations.
Yes.
431
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:48,960
All right, let's go to Jonathan
and then we'll check in with.
432
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Matt, you're wrong.
I think we're missing a really
433
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,960
important part of this, which is
what you just mentioned.
434
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,920
They need to go back to their
audience and see what age groups
435
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,000
is looking for it, what they
like about the podcast, and what
436
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,520
is going to work for these
people that are asking.
437
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,920
Because without that, you're
creating a podcast for 2 to 20
438
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,680
year olds and that's six
different podcasts.
439
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,240
So I think really their first
step is go back to the people
440
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,520
that are asking and find out
what they need, what they want
441
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,560
so that you have at least a
baseline to go off of.
442
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,880
That would be my first and only
suggestion at this point is to
443
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,560
get that information and then
once you have that you can make
444
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,400
a much better decision.
Yeah, do your market research
445
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,800
both with your audience and a
larger audience, right.
446
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,360
Like there are plenty of studies
out there that are saying that
447
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:46,280
shows what age ranges are
listening to podcasts.
448
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,360
So maybe you could find some
information there as well as
449
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,600
pulling your own audience.
I think that's very appropriate.
450
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,400
I agree with you, Jonathan.
Matt, did you want to add
451
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,880
something?
Maybe we should get
452
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,960
psychological with it because I
don't think I've heard, I
453
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,560
haven't heard anything yet that
says the podcast is
454
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,880
inappropriate for kids to listen
to.
455
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,800
It's just that the parents are
asking for a kids version of
456
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,520
what would otherwise be regular
episodes.
457
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,120
So let's get psychological with
it.
458
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,200
Let's create a adults only feed
of the history fix.
459
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,040
And then by comparison, the
regular feed is so normal and so
460
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,640
toned down that they don't need
to make a kids feed, they just
461
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,760
need to make a pay to play Not
safe for work history podcast.
462
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,200
Just ignore that one.
Jonathan, did you want to say
463
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,960
something?
I was just saying then you're
464
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,120
still talking to multiple
audiences with one show, and
465
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:44,080
that's not where the success
really lies when you're looking
466
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,400
to market something.
True, you're getting.
467
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,440
Maybe it's that, that thing we
bring up often, which is too
468
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,160
many things means people won't
do anything with any of them.
469
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,040
And the one other area we're
not, we haven't focused on yet
470
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,080
is by creating separate feeds.
This is something pro creating 2
471
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,560
feeds is you may have more
unique, or I should just say
472
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,080
unique monetization
opportunities, right?
473
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,920
If you're, if you have a
separate show that's geared just
474
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,760
toward kids, well, now you can
get very specific types of
475
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,160
advertisers that are trying to
target kids and parents.
476
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,560
I think that's something worth
considering, especially again,
477
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,080
if your audience is clamoring
for it.
478
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,440
If your audience is saying they
want a kids version and you do a
479
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
little more research to
Jonathan's point, from, you
480
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,480
know, from your audience, you
may have a, a new monetization
481
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,520
stream.
And I think that's worth
482
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,760
considering.
It will be more challenging to
483
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,080
market it to advertisers if
you're doing a kid friendly or
484
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,640
it's kid specific episode versus
a kid friendly episode.
485
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,400
I really think that sometimes
parents are a little too crazy
486
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,040
about.
It sure, yeah, that can happen.
487
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,280
I.
Think that's part of the problem
488
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,360
because history is not pretty.
You can make it as kid friendly
489
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,920
as you want, but you can't have
it both ways in some ways.
490
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,800
It doesn't sound like this
person's fearful of it not being
491
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,640
appropriate for kids.
I just think it's a specific
492
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,080
direction that people are asking
her for.
493
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,720
And I understand and and I feel
bad for her because she's in a
494
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:25,240
very weird position that people
that work with kid friendly
495
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,240
products have to deal with.
It's never going to be kid
496
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,160
friendly enough.
It's never going to be harsh,
497
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,600
you know, adult enough.
And you have to find that
498
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,920
balance.
And maybe Dr. is right.
499
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,720
She should have maybe a couple
of special episodes.
500
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:46,120
I think that where it could
become more popular is if you're
501
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,280
making a show specific for kids
on history or whatever the heck
502
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,920
it is.
If you're making it specifically
503
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,520
for kids, well, now you've
created a family event, a family
504
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,680
affair.
You're you're now, you're now
505
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,800
showing the audience, the
parents.
506
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,480
Hey, I've got content that you
can sit down with and listen to
507
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,080
with your kids, ask questions
with your kids as opposed to if
508
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,880
you're just marketing it to
adults, that's not even
509
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,000
necessarily a thought for them
to consider that, oh, let's sit
510
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,120
down with the whole family and
listen to this on a road trip.
511
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,880
They're probably thinking just
subliminally, they're probably
512
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,760
thinking, OK, this is for me,
this is for adults.
513
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,920
You know, I'm not playing this
for my kids just because it's
514
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,160
not an option.
It's not something to consider.
515
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,320
But if you're saying I have a
specific show for kids about
516
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,560
history, that opens a door and
to potentially a wider audience.
517
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,840
Can I add in real quick?
I think the way I would look at
518
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,120
it is, I would say what an
amazing opportunity this is,
519
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,080
what an amazing gift this is.
Her audience is giving her
520
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,280
feedback.
They're telling her things that
521
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,120
they like about her show.
They're telling her things
522
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,960
they'd like to see from her
show.
523
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,360
Now it's just up to her to go do
the work, right?
524
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,040
To go ask the questions like
she's asking in the group to
525
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,560
meet with a podcast coach,
right?
526
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,120
To self reflect on what it is
she wants to do and how she
527
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920
wants to do it, and then take
the next step with it.
528
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,280
And that decision, it could be,
I don't want to do anything,
529
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280
right?
The decision could be, I'm going
530
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
to do what Dr. said and put one
show in a month, right?
531
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,840
The condition should be, could
be I'm going to make an entire
532
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,280
new feed, right?
But I view this as an as a gift.
533
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,600
Like her audience is talking to
her.
534
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,120
And how many of us desire on
almost a regular basis to hear
535
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,440
from her audience?
She needs to listen to them.
536
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,040
She's a research.
She's to figure out what she
537
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,960
wants to do and take that next
step.
538
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,440
Love that.
Thank you, Sid, and thank you
539
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,960
for wrapping this part of the
conversation up So eloquently.
540
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,400
I appreciate that.
And now I'm going to ask anybody
541
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,000
who wants to share their wins
from this past week to come up
542
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,240
on stage and join us.
Thank you, Yvonne, for joining
543
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,840
us.
I see Rez wants to ask something
544
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,440
or has something else he wants
to add.
545
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560
We'll come to you in a second.
So please come join us if you're
546
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,320
listening live in the audience
right now and share any wins
547
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,520
that you'd like to celebrate
with us this week.
548
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,040
I don't care how big or small
you are judging it to be.
549
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,400
It does not matter to me.
So getting out, as I say,
550
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,040
getting out of bed in the
morning every day this week,
551
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,680
making your days work as best
you can.
552
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,960
If that's your win, awesome,
Bring it.
553
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Bring it up this morning.
And if you successfully launched
554
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,280
a podcast, that to me is just as
worthwhile of celebrating as you
555
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,760
getting out of bed every
morning.
556
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,440
So whatever it is, just bring it
and rez.
557
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,640
What did you want to share a win
or did you have something you
558
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,120
wanted to say about this
conversation we've been having?
559
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Oh yeah, just want to share a
win.
560
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,480
Basically I started my new
season.
561
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,320
First episode was done last
night, keeping it between 20 to
562
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,920
30 minutes long and yeah, I
think it went well.
563
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,480
It's just a lot of money.
I'm realizing I have to be
564
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,760
paying a lot of money for all
the tools.
565
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,560
To be honest with you.
That's my win for the week.
566
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,720
OK, two things.
One, do you want to tell
567
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,760
everyone the name of your
podcast if they want to go check
568
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,680
it out?
It's called Social Mix Hub HUB.
569
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040
The teaser clips are always on
my Instagram.
570
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:20,160
Reza G Life and the Instagram
for the podcast The Social Mix
571
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,200
Hub.
Thank you for letting me share
572
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,520
that.
Yeah.
573
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,560
You're welcome.
And Rez, when you talk about all
574
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,240
this money that you're spending,
what are some of the big tools
575
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,840
that you're using that you feel
like is really expensive?
576
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,360
First of all, cap cut has gotten
real expensive.
577
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,800
There's captions app which is
really great.
578
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,920
I I can't live without the
captions app if I'm doing this
579
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,680
stuff.
What?
580
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,040
Are you paying for the captions
app?
581
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,560
I'm on a free trial with all
this stuff right now, Mark, but
582
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,840
I'm going to have to once I get
started a new daytime job too.
583
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,120
So once I get a paycheck, I'm
going to have to and then, you
584
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,760
know, start paying.
I've noticed a trend that these
585
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,480
apps have all gotten more
expensive than they were a few
586
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,360
years ago.
What else is there?
587
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Just a Riverside app alone?
And then the RSS feed for Buzz
588
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,840
route is like 19 bucks a month.
So it's adding up quickly.
589
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,440
Yeah.
Well, I would say, you know,
590
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,560
once, once you find the tools
that are working for you,
591
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,880
hopefully you'll be able to
eliminate some of them.
592
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,199
For example, you you probably
won't need cap cut and captions
593
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,320
to make your clips or do your
editing.
594
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,639
You will probably won't need
both.
595
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:33,159
And then also, you know, again,
if you're looking, and I'm just
596
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:35,880
saying this to anybody looking
to save money, you know, if
597
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,639
you're somebody like Rez who is
using Riverside, you can create
598
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:44,679
the short clips just like you do
in cap cut, for example.
599
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,679
I know there are no templates
that you can use yet, which, you
600
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,880
know, cap cut captions, They
have templates that you can work
601
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,199
from, whereas this is a little
more using Riverside's a little
602
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,120
more from scratch.
But I still think it's a good
603
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,320
alternative if you're looking to
save some money and and some
604
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,640
efficiency as well by having a
one stop shop like Riverside and
605
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,920
Jonathan saying captions is now
25 bucks a month, which, yeah,
606
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,560
that's definitely gone up since
say last year around this time.
607
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,760
You're, you're absolutely right.
I, I don't think I'll continue
608
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,440
on with captions when I already,
if I already have cap cut
609
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,720
because cap cut is pretty
capable of, of generating the
610
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,880
captions.
And the only thing I like about
611
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,200
captions is there's these
features that they have like the
612
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,640
eye contact and a few other
features that are very unique to
613
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,080
it.
So.
614
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,440
Riverside has the eye contact
thing as well.
615
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:36,880
Really.
Yep.
616
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,800
Oh, interesting.
OK.
617
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,680
Yeah, they're really doing a
good job of trying to become
618
00:35:41,680 --> 00:36:03,480
that all in
And that might be something of
619
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,440
interest to you, Dr., because I
know you use Canva to make video
620
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,840
clips.
I do I need to check that out a
621
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,960
little bit?
Yeah, you may want to play with
622
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:14,920
that.
All right, cool.
623
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,640
Thank you, Rez, and
congratulations on your launch
624
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,160
or of your new season.
Looking forward to checking that
625
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,480
out.
And Yvonne's on stage with us as
626
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,000
well.
Yvonne, good morning.
627
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,160
How are you feeling with your
roller skating injury?
628
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,080
And do you have any wins you'd
like to share with us this week?
629
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,240
I actually feel pretty darn good
considering.
630
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,680
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like I'm making really
631
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,480
good progress with healing.
And it inspired a really good
632
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,080
clubhouse room that I host every
Wednesday.
633
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,400
The topic ended up being slowing
down to speed up.
634
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,520
You know, when you're injured,
you got to rethink how you do
635
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,600
everything.
And I'm looking for the
636
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,840
opportunities in this process
to, to, you know, kind of go,
637
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,280
oh, OK, isn't that interesting?
And, and where's that leading
638
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,320
me?
So, and I'll, I'll take that as
639
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,360
a win.
And I made myself go to a, an in
640
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,160
person networking event for a
women's business development
641
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,440
council here in Connecticut and
ended up meeting a couple of
642
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,760
great new people that might, you
know, I, we all left saying, I
643
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,360
think we, I think we met the
people we were supposed to come
644
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,320
here and meet today.
And, and we all decided to leave
645
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,240
at that point and we've been in
touch since.
646
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:40,600
So I'm like, wow, OK, that, that
was cool.
647
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,480
And I usually dread networking
events.
648
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,120
So I, I went in and thought,
what if I just make a really
649
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,680
nice connection with one person
and I don't put anything on it?
650
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,600
And, and that is exactly what
ended up happening.
651
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,880
So yeah.
Yeah, I think that's such
652
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,680
congratulations.
And I think that's such a valid
653
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,680
point that we could all walk
away with really is, you know,
654
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,400
when we have these nerves going
into something like a networking
655
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,520
event to stop and think about
what our intentions are to
656
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,000
forgoing and also setting the
right expectations for us, the
657
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,280
things that feel right to us.
So yeah, it's like, OK, if my
658
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,000
goal is I'm just going to go
there and my expectation, my
659
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,520
intention is to connect with
just one person, that really
660
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,840
could take a lot of the tension
off.
661
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,560
And I, I feel that I relate to
that, Yvonne.
662
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,760
I often times when I go to
different networking events or
663
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,640
when I sign up to go, I usually
start to dread them.
664
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,800
And it's usually because I'm
creating this picture in my head
665
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,480
of what it's going to be like.
And it's usually nothing like
666
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,640
what I'm expecting.
And usually I leave these
667
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,480
different networking events
feeling really good, feeling
668
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,320
like I actually connected with
people, that maybe I learned
669
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,080
something or I found some
resources, people that are going
670
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,560
to help me along my journey.
Or I might be that resource or
671
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,760
that person for others to help
them with their journey.
672
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,960
So yeah, I and I, that's what I
am so excited about for next
673
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,760
weekend with Empowered
Podcasting is that opportunity
674
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,240
to really connect with like
minded people, with people who
675
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:25,360
are all curious that have all
levels of expertise that I can
676
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,680
personally learn from and help
as well.
677
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,320
It's going to be fun and
exciting.
678
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,080
Thank you for sharing that,
Yvonne.
679
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,200
Congratulations and I'm glad
you're feeling better.
680
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:39,560
OK, I'm going to do a rapid fire
and and of course, if anybody
681
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,440
from our audience wants to join,
you are still welcome to come up
682
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,080
and join.
We have a few minutes left.
683
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,240
I'm going to skip Ashley because
I want to let her rest her
684
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:50,680
voice.
So feel better Ashley.
685
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,360
And let's start with Alex.
Alex, please share a win.
686
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,400
And then when you're done, just
pass it to Jonathan.
687
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,760
And Jonathan please continue it
and so on and so on.
688
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Go ahead, Alex.
Got hotel and we're ready to go,
689
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,120
go to Jonathan.
For EPCII, assume yes.
690
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,960
I just have hotels everywhere.
Yeah, I mean.
691
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,320
Some kind of or or?
Alex just bought a hotel.
692
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Yeah, one of the two.
Go ahead, Jonathan.
693
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Whichever works, whichever
works, Alex, as long as you're
694
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,080
happy.
So I will quickly say feeling
695
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,240
healthy again, which is a big
win.
696
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Finished my presentation for EPC
and kind of go test that out in
697
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,600
about two seconds across the
street and my new iPhone arrives
698
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,720
today.
Oh, I'm excited about that last
699
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,800
win in particular.
Just and a little jealous.
700
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,520
And I will pass it over to Dr.
and run far far away.
701
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,920
OK, yesterday my win is that I
finally did something that I've
702
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,200
been putting off, and that was I
got my mammogram.
703
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,320
And this is, as I call it, my
mammy Grammy.
704
00:40:53,640 --> 00:41:00,760
And I encourage every person,
not just women, but every person
705
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,720
to go out and get your mammy
Grammy.
706
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,280
That's my win.
Thank you, Dr. Let's keep it
707
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,400
going with Matt.
I have been doing a what's
708
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,960
called the Consultants
Positioning Accelerator with
709
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,880
Ignite Your Offer.
It's a couple of people I met
710
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,640
through a broadcasting project I
run with a couple of blokes out
711
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,760
of the UK, and bit of a
revelation this week I came to a
712
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,680
vision for what I want my
broader business direction to
713
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,080
be.
I won't share it here just
714
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,640
because it's a very personal
thing, but suffice to say that
715
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,080
podcasting isn't the only thing
that I'll be focusing my efforts
716
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,480
on over the next couple of
years.
717
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,120
But it was pretty cool and I'll
add a link into the room chat if
718
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,000
any of you here are interested
in exploring what they offer.
719
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,240
Awesome.
Yeah.
720
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:47,720
And we'll put that in the show
notes too.
721
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:51,040
Congratulations, Matt.
I'm very curious and excited for
722
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,960
you.
That's awesome.
723
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:59,160
I'm, I too am looking for some
new or different directions to
724
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,320
add on to what I'm doing.
So yeah, I'm very curious to
725
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,640
hear that about that more as it
develops.
726
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:05,960
Thanks for sharing.
Go ahead, Sid.
727
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,360
My win is is that I've spent the
entire this week hanging out
728
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,560
with my daughter because my
wife's out of town.
729
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,040
So it's just been she and I
cooking dinner, watching movies,
730
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,120
lots of TV shows, talking about
her new adventure.
731
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,720
And I'll be a hot mess on
Wednesday because she leaves on
732
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:30,280
Wednesday and I'm not sure when
I'll see her again, right?
733
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Probably not till December,
which is really not that long.
734
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,080
But not like she's going to
college 3 hours away.
735
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,440
She's going to school on the
other side of the world.
736
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:47,520
And it's a bit emotional that
she's flying the nest and so my
737
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,040
dad's going to be dealing with
all that.
738
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,040
But what an amazing gift I was
given this week with my wife
739
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,760
being out of town to just hang
out with her, you know?
740
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,440
And so that's my win for the
week is hanging out with my
741
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,440
daughter Lucy, as I get ready to
as we get ready to ship her off
742
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,960
to the other side of the world
to step into her next chapter.
743
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,880
So yeah, bittersweet for meeting
it.
744
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:15,560
I can't believe it's taken me
all this time to connect the
745
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,920
fact that both Sid and Alex have
daughters named Lucy and Sid.
746
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Congratulations there yes
bittersweet and it reminds me to
747
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,240
to tell you to check out a
podcast that I produce or
748
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:31,880
actually I don't produce it.
I consult called the loud quiet.
749
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,840
It's a podcast for empty nesters
and the two hosts are coming to
750
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,520
empowered podcasting next
weekend.
751
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,080
So if you're looking for
something to listen to and then
752
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,400
have something to talk about
with a couple of other
753
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,440
attendees, there you go.
And it could be very appropriate
754
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,800
because the loud quiet is all
about empty nesting.
755
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,520
So enjoy if you choose to
listen, OK.
756
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,160
And As for me, we had a couple
more ticket sales just yesterday
757
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,720
after about a week drought.
And so I was starting to sweat
758
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,040
it again.
And then boom, more people came
759
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,640
through.
And I'm going to share what's
760
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:10,880
really cool is that one of those
came from my personal efforts
761
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,640
prospecting people on LinkedIn.
What does that mean?
762
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,240
I took Rich Perry's playbook.
Rich has joined us before
763
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:22,000
talking about LinkedIn
strategies and he will be at
764
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,040
Empowered Podcasting as well.
I took his strategy and used
765
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,480
LinkedIn to filter through or
filter out everybody except
766
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:36,040
podcasters in Charlotte and in
the Charlotte surrounding areas
767
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,560
and people that I'm not
currently connected to.
768
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,880
So I literally went through
dozens and dozens and dozens of
769
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,920
these particular podcasters,
asked to connect with them, sent
770
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,280
them personal notes saying, you
know, hey, I'm a North Carolina
771
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,760
podcaster too.
And curious if you're coming to
772
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,240
Empowered Podcasting.
It's opened up conversations.
773
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,920
We've had a handful of ticket
sales from that already.
774
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,600
Rich and I both been doing this
prospecting.
775
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,640
And just yesterday I had
somebody who originally said,
776
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,440
no, I'm not going to be able to
make it.
777
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,280
But I kept the conversation
going, not pushing the event,
778
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,600
but just kept the conversation
going to get to know the person.
779
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:20,600
And then after a couple of back
and forth, the person got back
780
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,960
to me yesterday and said, you
know what?
781
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,280
My, my schedule has changed.
I'm free that weekend.
782
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,080
I'm buying a ticket right now.
And then next thing I knew, a
783
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,400
ticket sale came through and it
was hers.
784
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,920
So it goes to show you that the
grass roots marketing does pay
785
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,760
off and it's just a matter of
finding the balance, doing a
786
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,480
little of everything.
In my opinion, 'cause we're
787
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,800
doing the paid ad thing too.
We're doing the grassroots
788
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,240
efforts.
And all of this little by little
789
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:51,160
has been adding up to what's
going to be now a full house
790
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,120
next weekend in Charlotte for
Empowered Podcasting.
791
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,160

Tuesday, 7:00 AM Eastern and
we'll do it all week long for
796
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,880
the rest of the week, including
from Charlotte at the event.
797
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,120
