So let's talk 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 2: about what made what made you even decide to start 27 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 2: podpro Max. 28 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, what made me start pop Promax is that, like 29 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 6: when I think about podcasting, I come from a corporate background. 30 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 6: What happened is that I got promoted so much in 31 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 6: corporate I got promoted six times in four years, and 32 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 6: I stumbled across podcasting. So I stumbed across this podcasting 33 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 6: gap after taking the job promotion that took me six 34 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 6: hours away from my family, and while doing that, I 35 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 6: started a show called Schools Over Now and it completely 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 6: blew up and allowed me to interview people like Ryan 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 6: Sirhan and Malet, Matthew Knowles and so many others. But 38 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 6: while podcasting, it became a huge side hustle, and everyone 39 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 6: asked me to start teaching them that and that led 40 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 6: to pop pro Max. 41 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: I know you started podcasting at twenty eighteen, and your 42 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: big break actually came from Ryan Sirhan, who Angela knows 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: very well. 44 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm part of the sir Hand team, part of 45 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: and the Real Estate. But you said you were watching 46 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: him on Million Dollar Listing. 47 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 6: He was your favorite, Yes, he was my favorite, made 48 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 6: all listening. And what happened is on episode seven he 49 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 6: wrote a book called Selling like Sir Had and I 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 6: reached out to him and I pitched the idea. I 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 6: think so many people that are podcasters think you have 52 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 6: to have a huge audience in the very beginning, but 53 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 6: what it really takes is having a show that people 54 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 6: can see themselves being a part of. And Ryan was 55 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 6: a part of the show episode seven and it changed everything. 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 6: He was doing a vlog and you know, vlogs at 57 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 6: the time were bigger than the actual show itself. And 58 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 6: I left a comment under the vlog that the people 59 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 6: kept asking who is Ryan talking to? And by doing that, 60 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 6: I woke up the next morning and the show had 61 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 6: seventy five thousand downloads. 62 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: Wow. 63 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, he pinned a comment. 64 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: That's amazing. 65 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: And some people would not think and I'm glad you said, 66 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: because you started in twenty eighteen, But this interview happened 67 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. 68 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 5: This this is happened in twenty eighteen eighteen. 69 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: On episode seven, Oh that was so early, because I 70 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: was going to say, but this totally defeats my point. 71 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: A lot of people ask about starting a pie and like, 72 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: you know, people can be impatient too, because sometimes it 73 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: does take one thing that can really like blow something up, 74 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: but you have to be prepared for that to be 75 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: able to happen. 76 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: But that did happen fairly quickly for you. 77 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, it did. 78 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 6: And I think where people make the mistake of podcasting 79 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 6: is they'll call the podcast their name. At twenty eighteen, 80 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 6: nobody knew who Sean Anthony was. So what I did 81 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 6: was I created a show that I knew when you 82 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 6: heard it, you're gonna immediately have a feeling. You're the 83 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 6: word school's over now with You're like. 84 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 5: What am I to do? 85 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: And everybody can relate to that absolutely, whether it's high 86 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: school or college or you know, any type of further 87 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: education than that, or trade school. 88 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: It's like now way. 89 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I think that's what made so many people 90 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 6: resonate with it so early. 91 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: Off you get a six figure side hustle and you 92 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: turn this into a six figure side hustle without any advertisers. 93 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: You weren't even a company yet. How did that happen? 94 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 5: Yes? 95 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 6: So while I was podcasting, everyone kept asking me how 96 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 6: do you do it? Like, how are you like sitting 97 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 6: up the microphone, how are you picking out the software? 98 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: How are you landing the guests? And that required me 99 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 6: to start teaching so many people podcasting, so I started 100 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 6: to creating my own ads. I have my own ebooks. 101 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 6: I gave away my own courses which gave me more 102 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 6: speaking opportunities, and by twenty twenty it was a six 103 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 6: figure side hose ye. 104 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 4: So you were you were the ads? 105 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 5: Yeah? I was. I were the ads were my own ads. 106 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: And I'm glad you say that about equipment because one 107 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: thing I always took people when they're starting a podcast, 108 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 2: make sure your audio sounds good, because it's really hard 109 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: for people to listen to something and the audi they'll 110 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: give up. Even if it's good information. People would be like, 111 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: this just doesn't sound good, and so it is important 112 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: one of the main things. And our producer doing will 113 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: tell you he always is checking the levels, making sure 114 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: the audio sounds right, you know, getting that right. But 115 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 2: for you, what would you tell people when because they 116 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: do always ask me this, what equipment do you need? 117 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: How much money do you think you need to get started? 118 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: Things like that. 119 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, the first thing you want to do is you 120 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 6: want to have a hosting site. I think so many 121 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 6: people think when you have a podcast, you're uploading on 122 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 6: a spreaker, you're uploading it on Spotify, you're uploading on Apple. 123 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: But you want a hosting site where you can have this. 124 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 6: And then I would say the next thing is get 125 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 6: you a good microphone. You know, I did over one 126 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 6: hundred episodes with a blue Yetty microphone, which was only 127 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 6: ninety nine dollars at the time. But I'll say now 128 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 6: the best microphone will probably go for It would be 129 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 6: like a SM seven B. A sure SEM seven B 130 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 6: is a great choice. Road Caster Pro also makes great 131 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 6: microphones as well, and that's really all you need to 132 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 6: get started. 133 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: That's amazing. 134 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: I think there's three point two million podcast out there, 135 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: but only seven hundred thousand are active. 136 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because that's why I say consistency. Yeah, so 137 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: many people are like, I'm starting a podcast. It's like 138 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: everybody has one, but only a few will keep going 139 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: with it. 140 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: Talk to us about that absolutely. 141 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 5: You know, that's this thing called pod fade. 142 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 6: People get excited about starting a show, they start a show, 143 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 6: they run out of topics, they run out of ideas, 144 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 6: and a lot of people are falling for that. I 145 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 6: think you have to start a show with something that 146 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 6: gets you excited. For me, I felt guilty because I was, 147 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 6: you know, succeeding in the corporate world where none of 148 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 6: my friends were. And that was my goal. That was 149 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 6: my mission to invite people like Ryan Sartain, invite people 150 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 6: liked my self, go and many more to teach and 151 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 6: give the game away. And I think if you're starting 152 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 6: a show, you don't want to have pod fake, make 153 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 6: sure you're passionate enough about that topic. 154 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: Guidance too, yes, and you literally offer people that. 155 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, you know. One of the things we do 156 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 6: at Podpromax is that we offer that guidance, that coaching, 157 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 6: the ability to understand, Okay, how do you start a show? 158 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 6: You never want launch a show with just one episode. 159 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 6: Think about all the things we like, whether it's power 160 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 6: or whether you know it's Ozark, we like to binge 161 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 6: watch it. So I always recommend whenever you start a podcast, 162 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 6: you want to have at least three episodes so that 163 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 6: your audience can listen to it understand who you are. 164 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 6: But then in that second episode, talk about what you 165 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 6: can expect, and then the third episode to start delivering it. 166 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 6: So if you say you're gonna do interviews, that's when 167 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 6: you start having that interview and that first guest. 168 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: What do you think about people signing? 169 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: Because a lot of times people want to start a podcast, 170 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: but they're like, how can I get a deal? 171 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Or where should I go to get this done? 172 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: And I feel like people want that type of back 173 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: and it's like signing a record deal versus being independent. 174 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: So can you talk about how if you need to 175 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 2: do this on your own? Because I know some people 176 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: at first, you know, it's not easy for the average 177 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: person to just get picked up by an ad company 178 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: or you know, to get a special type of deal, 179 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: and people do think about money, like how can I 180 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: make money from this? So what do you say to 181 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: people who are just getting started? Maybe they have their 182 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: three episodes? 183 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 6: Now what Yeah, I think people are just getting started. 184 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 6: You have your three episodes if you think about the 185 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 6: topic that you started, if you follow what we said, 186 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 6: if you start a show off of passion, something you're 187 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 6: excited about, there's a reason behind that. You have something 188 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 6: that you can offer. You don't have to wait for 189 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 6: those ads. But if you are waiting for that company 190 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: to come sign you, I think you got to make 191 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 6: some noise. You know, if you think about it, right, 192 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 6: if you look at some of the people right now 193 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 6: who are getting podcast deals, they've made enough noise to 194 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 6: get people excited about them. So, whether it's bringing in 195 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 6: certain guests, whether that's figuring out different ways to kind 196 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 6: of make it entertaining, those are the keys. But also 197 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 6: be careful when you sign those deals because a lot 198 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: of those deals give up IP. You know, in twenty twenty, 199 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 6: when my podcast became a six figure side housele I 200 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 6: could have signed a deal and you lost fifty percent 201 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 6: of my IP, but I chose not to have to 202 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 6: listen to some great advice and I'm so glad, I 203 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 6: thank goodness. 204 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: And that's important. 205 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: That's my mentorship and talking to people who have already 206 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: done it and done it successfully and have a track record. 207 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: That's one of the most important things that you can do, 208 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: because sometimes we feel like we have to do it 209 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: on our own. But being able to reach out and 210 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: get help and also help from the right people. 211 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 5: Oh, let's talk about that. Done it, you know. 212 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 6: You know, when I got that contract for fifty percent 213 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 6: of my IP, I took the contract and I sent 214 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 6: it to Matthew Knows. Matthew Knows was a guest on 215 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 6: my show. Yeah, he was a guest on my show 216 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 6: in twenty nineteen, and now he's a client that I represent, 217 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 6: and he looked at it and he brought us some 218 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 6: very good valid points. So you're right about that. You 219 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 6: got to have the right mentor that you trust to 220 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 6: put the right things in front of, especially before you 221 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 6: sign your life away. 222 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: But for our audience out there listening, you are the 223 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: right mentor, absolutely, and they can work. 224 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: Tell people how you work. 225 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 6: Yes, So you can work with us with Popromacs in 226 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 6: three different ways. You know, I understood editing was a problem, 227 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 6: you know, So we have the ability to edit anybody's show. 228 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 6: So if you're listening right now and you're struggling with 229 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 6: your show editor, we can take away all that pain 230 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 6: from you. The second way that we work with people 231 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 6: is we manage them in talent, so we represent several 232 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 6: clients in terms of brand deals, negotiating speaking opportunities. And 233 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 6: then the third way is the podcast tools. And I'm 234 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 6: really excited about the podcast tours because everybody does not 235 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 6: need to have a podcast, right What we need is 236 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 6: we need a platform and a place to speak on 237 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 6: where we can be the authority. And that's why podcast 238 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 6: guesting is so amazing and we've had tremendous results with 239 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 6: people like Arlen Hamilton daughter, Drnie l. Jervy, Harmon, the 240 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 6: Polites and anymore. 241 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: Okay, well, you can check out you on at podpromax 242 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: dot com, slash way up and get a special discount 243 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: for way Up. 244 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: It's very special. Yeah, talk about. 245 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: Past podcasting, not just I want to have my own podcast, 246 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: but podcasting is a tool for entrepreneurs. 247 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, exactly. 248 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 6: I mean, think about it, right, there's so many entrepreneurs 249 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 6: who want to be on stage speaking and they can't 250 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 6: get on stage right. So I think it's important to 251 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 6: make sure that you have your own platform if that 252 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 6: is the case, and opportunities can come from that. But 253 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 6: I think you also have to be creative. You can't 254 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 6: just have an interview style show. You have to have 255 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 6: the ability to have different segments on your show to 256 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 6: maybe talk about topics that you're an expert apt. 257 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because I started my lip service 258 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: podcast like ten years ago, and that was before podcasting 259 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: was like what it is today, So people don't even 260 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: realize like, ten years is a long time. I never 261 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: would have anticipated because when it first started, people were 262 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: acting like, well, it's hard to monetize. People aren't really 263 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: trying to spend money. Companies don't necessarily, But now you know, 264 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: it's something that people are really making their living off of. 265 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: People have quit their jobs just to do their podcasts. 266 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: People are going on tour based off of their podcast. 267 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: So it is definitely something that's viable. But you know, 268 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that have to come together 269 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: for that cream to rise to the top, because you know, 270 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: just as there are some that are going to really 271 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: stand out, you need to make sure you have the 272 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: tools and be ready for that to happen because there's 273 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: so many. Like we said when we first started, that 274 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: people started, they get excited about it, and then you know, 275 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: it just kind of fades out. And also people want 276 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: to see money real fast. How long do you think 277 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: it should take before people well, I know that's not 278 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 2: that's a weird question. But if you have to tell 279 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: somebody and they're like, how do I monetize this? I 280 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: want to make some money. This has taken too long, 281 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: you know, what would you tell somebody that's waiting to 282 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: get at least some paycheck from this. 283 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 5: Yeah. 284 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 6: I mean we've had the ability to get people funded 285 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 6: and get money before their show even launched. And the 286 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 6: strategy behind that is looking at their brand in itself. Right, 287 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 6: I'll give you a perfect example, someone like Miss Skittles 288 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 6: that we've worked with. You know, someone that's built a 289 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 6: different story about themselves when they overcome something, they've gotten 290 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 6: a large following. People are waiting to hear their voice. 291 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 6: The good thing about podcasting is that you and I 292 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 6: both can be on a podcast right now. Someone's going 293 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 6: to resonate with everything you're saying way more than me 294 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 6: or vice versa because of that, because everyone is waiting 295 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: for that unique person that truly represents them. 296 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 5: And having the. 297 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 6: Ability to take someone's brand overall and sell that's very possible. 298 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: And doing what if you don't have a large following though, 299 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: because there's more people that don't. 300 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you got to play with the niches. 301 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 6: You got to play in with the niches and whatever 302 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 6: your niche is and being able to talk about that. So, 303 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 6: for example, if you're a barber starting in a new 304 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 6: podcast and you have a product that you're waiting for 305 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 6: people to try out. You can talk about that product 306 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 6: while interviewing someone while you're doing something on their hair, 307 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 6: or perhaps you know, talking about whatever that topic is 308 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: and being able to share that you can put your 309 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 6: own products in. I think too many people are waiting 310 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 6: for that company. You know, I never waited for that company. 311 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: So you help people with that marketing and that brand 312 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: strategy as well. 313 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 314 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I think marketing is beyond just reels. You know, 315 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 6: people put out reels all times to day, but I 316 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 6: think marketing is understanding who do you need to be 317 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 6: sharing those reels with, what communities do you need to 318 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 6: be speaking with so that they have that information. 319 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 5: I think it's very important as well. 320 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: What about these tours, Yes, I've heard so much about. 321 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, the podcast tours is where it's at. You know, 322 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 6: we've had I'll just name drop some of the shows 323 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 6: we placed our clients on.

You know, my last job was 340 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 6: a place where we all shopped at. I was a 341 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 6: corporate brand manager of tar J. Before that, it was Belkan. 342 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 6: Before that it was Macy's. I think you got to 343 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 6: get your ducks in a row. I could have left 344 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 6: my job in twenty twenty when I found out and 345 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 6: I think this is going to be very helpful. I 346 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 6: found out that you had to have in North Carolina 347 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 6: I'm from, you had to have two years of tax 348 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 6: records before you bought a home. And so when I 349 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 6: made my business in LLC in twenty and twenty, I 350 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 6: couldn't leave my job yet even though the side hustle 351 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 6: was making more money, you know, so I was able 352 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 6: to you know, stay there at the same time, have 353 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 6: a home build, acquire what I needed off that corporate job. 354 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 6: I think if you're listening today, we. 355 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Got to go to house stand by the way when 356 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: the rates were what they were. 357 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 6: Man, we was outrage.

But 361 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 6: I also think you know, that job also had a 362 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 6: lot of benefits where it puts you ahead of a 363 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 6: lot of entrepreneurs, especially when. 364 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 5: It comes to hiring teams. 365 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 6: You know, I was at a level where I hired 366 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 6: you know, hundreds of people, hundreds of people reporting to me, 367 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 6: and now I'm able to assemble my own team based 368 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 6: off what I've learned from that job.

You know, are you guys able to 376 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: help with that and saying, Okay, I don't know if 377 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: this is necessarily your lane, let's try to work it 378 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: like this. 379 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 6: Yes, And what you're talking about is someone that starts 380 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: the show, they say, Okay, I'm gonna start it. It's 381 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 6: going to be exactly like this, right, but figure out, Okay, 382 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 6: this is not working. This is not the thing for me. 383 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 5: You know. 384 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 6: In those cases, what we found out is we identified, 385 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 6: like what were the clips that really got people interested? 386 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 6: What were the episodes that really got people to listen. 387 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 6: There's a website called listennotes dot com that rank shows 388 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 6: by listenership and then a percentage. And there's a high 389 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 6: chance if you're a podcast or listening to this, you're 390 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 6: doing way better than what you think you are. You 391 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 6: just need to go to listen notoes dot com and 392 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 6: I'll tell you the percentage. But we're able to listen 393 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 6: to the show, pay attention to certain points where people 394 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 6: downloaded certain episodes, and then we're able to switch the 395 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 6: entire narrative. 396 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: And it has great research yah to be able to 397 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: have for you know, and segments like you said earlier 398 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: are also a great idea when you have a podcast. 399 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: So you're not just because sometimes people come. 400 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: In and think they don't have to prepare correct and 401 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: just come in and just start rambling and talking no 402 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: type of and people do like sometimes they're listening for 403 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: a certain segment. 404 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's a couple of shows like that. 405 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 6: I think Full Sin podcast is definitely a show like 406 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 6: that where people want to feel like they're in the 407 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 6: living room with you. But I think there's a lot 408 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 6: of shows right now where people tune into them like 409 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 6: they tune into anything else. They want them to be 410 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 6: prepared to be knowledgeable. 411 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, wow, So people can go to podpromax 412 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: dot com, slash way up yep. I also wanted to 413 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: talk to you. I know a lot of people that 414 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: you do work with Matthew Knowles show and works with 415 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: all of the top people, and they've all mentioned that 416 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 3: your network is one of the things that you bring 417 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: to the table for people who work with you talk 418 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: about the importance of that and growing a podcast. 419 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, your network is your net worth, and I think 420 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 6: if you have a podcast, it's the huge cheat code 421 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 6: to getting in front of whoever you want to get 422 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 6: in front of. Right, if I didn't start a podcast, 423 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be sitting with neither one of you right now, 424 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 6: and I think right now with a podcast and having 425 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 6: that is so key. But for me, my network has 426 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 6: allow for me to do tremendous things. You know, think 427 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 6: about you know, that's over six years of moving around 428 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 6: in the right rooms with the right people. That's able 429 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 6: to accelerate someone. So we're able to meet people and 430 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 6: share who we know that you should know whether it's 431 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 6: whether you want to speak somewhere, or whether you want 432 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 6: to brand deal somewhere, or perhaps you want your show 433 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 6: to be on the top of the charts. 434 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: You know what I noticed about podcasting too, the difference 435 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: between men and women and like who ends up in 436 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: the top rankings, how much people get paid, you know, 437 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: how much media actually pays attention to podcasts. I feel 438 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: like in that space, you know, women kind of tend 439 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: to get the short end of the stick. Just for myself, 440 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: you know personally and people who I know who have 441 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: been struggling. 442 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: To do this and make it happen. 443 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: What do you find and you're having worked with so 444 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: many different people when it comes to men and women 445 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: in any disparities in podcasting. 446 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, you know, the women by far 447 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 6: that I've worked with have had the ability to attract 448 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 6: actually more than the men. And I think there's a 449 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 6: lot of statistics right now that are showing just the 450 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 6: power of entrepreneurship coming from women, and I think the 451 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 6: right people are understanding and seeing that. And I think 452 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 6: what's also important too is the network play. We talked 453 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 6: about networks. Some networks have done a really good job 454 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 6: of bringing in women and men who are promoting each 455 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 6: other on podcasts, and I think that's where we have 456 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 6: the biggest opportunity. So if someone's listening to your show, 457 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 6: like if you were on a certain network, instead of 458 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 6: an ad talking about a product or an ebook, it 459 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 6: would talk about your show and why they should listen 460 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 6: to it. I think we need to do a better 461 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 6: job promoting women and a better job promoting each other, 462 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 6: and that will lead to even better deals. 463 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 4: It's incredible. 464 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: CNBC found that sixty seven percent of listeners remember an 465 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 3: ad that they heard on a podcast versus any other medium. 466 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 6: Yes, And I think that's because a lot of those 467 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 6: ads are host red ads, you know. I think host 468 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 6: red ads have the highest conversion because you're listening to 469 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: a voice that you already trust and that's a huge key, 470 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 6: and I think. 471 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: It's more fun. 472 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: Usually they give you a little bit more on a podcast. 473 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: You know, it's the difference between radio and podcasting on 474 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: what you can say, where and where you can kind 475 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: of go with it because you can make it more fun. 476 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 2: It's a little more loose, it's a little more conversational 477 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: than the straight reading an AD. From my experience from 478 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: what we've had to do. 479 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 5: One hundred percent, i'd agree with that. 480 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 3: So if I'm listening to this, I want to start 481 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 3: a podcast, or I'm an entrepreneur who wants to build 482 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 3: my brand starting a podcast, don't want to do it 483 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 3: from scratch, and I want to work with you.

But everyone doesn't need to have a podcast, 505 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 6: and everyone may not have a podcast listening to this, 506 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 6: but everybody needs to be speaking on podcasts so that 507 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 6: they can talk about who they are and what they 508 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 6: have going on. I'm gonna spread that brand, message and authority. 509 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 6: So that's where we really shot at and placing people 510 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 6: on podcast tours and allowing them. 511 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: To be seen. 512 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, lesson. So you had your thank you for that. 513 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: You what we said at the beginning of this, You 514 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: had your aha moment when Ryan Sirhan came on your show, 515 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: And if I'm listening to this, I'm like, how the 516 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: heck do I get a guest like Ryan sirharent call 517 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: my show. I know you and I spoken about this before. 518 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: It's a science. 519 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, The science is this. 520 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 6: You know, you can't shoot for the stars without the 521 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 6: stars understanding that you're going to be there near them. 522 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 6: And I say, the way that you do that is 523 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 6: you network around the room. So if you're listening right now, 524 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 6: you want Angelay on your podcast, here's the strategy I 525 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 6: would try. I would pay attention to who's her producer. 526 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 6: She's already mentioned Dan, Right, have Dan on your show. 527 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 6: Talk to Dan on your show, and what happened is 528 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 6: as you're pitching Angela, if you mentioned you had Dan 529 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 6: as a guest, there's a high chance she'll pay a 530 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 6: little bit more attention. I learned that with My Let. 531 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 6: My Lett is one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, 532 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 6: episode forty two. He invited me to his home in 533 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 6: Laguna Beach in California, and by the time I got there, 534 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 6: I had interviewed like twenty of his best friends. 535 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 5: It was a no brainer. So I think we have 536 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 5: to start networking around to go up. 537 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 3: Dan is way harder to get than Angela. He's like 538 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: an untouchable. 539 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 5: Me right. 540 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: Strategy right, But honestly, the editing that he does for 541 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: this show and filip service is really critical. 542 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: So that's why I think having an editor because that's. 543 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: A lot and sometimes and sometimes you weigh yourself down 544 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: with the logistics of getting something done where you can 545 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: be the talent if you have a podcast and not 546 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: have to deal with it, Okay, now I have to 547 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: get this edited. 548 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 4: Now. 549 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: It's nice to have this service that's available for people. 550 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: That's what you were saying at the beginning. So many 551 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: people just can't sustain it. 552 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 5: They pod fade and that's exactly what It's a. 553 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: Big commitment, and especially if that's not your main thing, 554 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 2: it can be I think the amount of time that 555 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: you don't have to spend on editing and making sure 556 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: this sounds and making sure that's right and doing if 557 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: somebody else can handle that for you and make it 558 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 2: sound flawless and edit out the things that don't need 559 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: to be in there, and make sure it sounds good, 560 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: like with volumes and everything, and make sure people are like. 561 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: All of that is so helpful. 562 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 6: Absolutely, it allows for you to stay longer and listen 563 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 6: to it. Right We've all you know, came across clips 564 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 6: on Instagram that we scrolled right past when we start 565 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 6: hearing that little white noise. So it's so key that 566 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 6: you have you. 567 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: Might change after that, Like I can't even do that 568 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: miss the whole message.

There are probably some termination and clauses, 593 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 6: depending on what the termination is. In some cases, if 594 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 6: you have any deals within the next three or six months, 595 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 6: that might have to be a couple of payouts. 596 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 5: But there's always a way. 597 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: You know, I had an opportunity to do a deal 598 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: for lip Service, but it would have been behind a 599 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: paywall and it would have been exclusive, and I didn't 600 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: do it. Even though it could have been a nice like, 601 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: you know, money coming in. I also felt like it 602 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 2: would shrink our audience so much, and then it was 603 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 2: an exclusive deal, so we couldn't put it on all 604 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: the platforms, and so for that reason, I felt like 605 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 2: it was not a great situation to be in. 606 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about that.
