You can build a business on the Internet by using your own skills. And, this pandemic has made a lot of people think that way and start wondering, ‘How can I take advantage of it?’” (08:19)“And that’s fun. It’s fun to be with people who are constantly saying, ‘Well, what if tried this?’ We’ll give anything a shot once and I think that, in this space, it’s a really fun place to be in for sure.” (10:58)“One of the things that we always preach is, ‘You have to maximize your content. You need to be smart about how you use your content because there’s only one of you – there’s only twenty-four hours in the day – so you can’t be constantly creating.” (14:16)“I think if you’re a content creator of any type, if you’re a podcaster, you should always listen to what your audience wants. They are the commodity. They’re the ones who are gonna help you be better.” (22:08)“If you build that community, and you listen to them and you give them content they want, they will follow you through all different iterations of your career.” (24:35)“People are busy. People are trying to cut back on their social media. Everyone’s on a different time schedule. If you’re only sharing something one time – whether it’s your newest podcast episode or a sale that you’re having – you’re really doing yourself a disservice.” (32:30)“My advice to everyone is use ten to twenty minutes to go into social media and actually engage with your audience.” (37:08)“I just think audio as a medium is becoming more mainstream. And when that happens, the more fun things people start doing and experimenting with. And, I’m excited to see how that grows in this industry.” (47:47)THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite  FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupMeetEdgar WebsiteMeetEdgar TwitterMeetEdgar FacebookMeetEdgar InstagramMeetEdgar PinterestMeetEdgar LinkedInMaura’s LinkedInMaura’s TwitterSocial Post Podcast Link to Paperbell  🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I was just interested in it as a story.” (09:12)“Having a dad who’s a reporter can be a little hard sometimes. I feel like, as a kid, he was always finding the storyline, running through things that I thought were large problems that he thought he could really simply. And sometimes you don’t really want your problems to be simplified.” (14:20)“I would call myself a fairly early podcast junkie. I’ve been excited to see how podcasts have expanded because in the early days they related a lot to the same kind of topics that were for that early adopter audience.” (18:49)“At a startup you can dream up ideas, make them come true – engineering willing – and have two people use them. And at Google, you can dream up ideas, make endless decks about what they could be and potentially be able to do them on a much bigger scale.” (28:20)“Local [news] is something that we value very highly and are working to understand how we can help those local outlets, how we can recognize the new and emerging local outlets and how we can just connect our users to them.” (35:58)“That is my pitch is that your podcast doesn’t need to be two hours long, news or not.” (46:55)“Here’s my hill to die on. Everyone is a news reader. Everyone’s interested in the news. I know that the news can be overwhelming and that you want to turn it off sometimes and look inward. But, knowing what’s going on in the world around you is important.” (54:12)THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite  FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLiz's LinkedInLiz's TwitterLink to Molly of Denali Podcast Link to Rabbit Hole Podcast Link to Season of the Witch Book 🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I had an ache – a literal, physical ache in my body – of wanting to dive in more and be involved in this community.” (10:34)“I don’t know how I found it, but I did find it. I think it’s just one of those things where you don’t really know you have a voice until you’re already there.” (17:04)“I love to talk to anyone who’s making a living in podcasting. Ya know what I mean? It can be hard out there, as they say.” (33:49)“There’s also that insecurity of, ‘Will people subscribe to another newsletter or will people be interested in whatever work I produce next?’ I still don’t know the answer to that question, but I’d feel pretty lame if I didn’t at least try.” (43:47)“This is what podcasts do. They let you be a fly on the wall on some conversation that maybe you could never have and learn something.” (53:34)“I keep thinking that I am alive exactly when I want to be alive. This is an incredible time. Lots of it is tumultuous and sorrowful and painful, but it is fascinating and I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be part of the generation that is experiencing this because hopefully good will come.” (56:56)THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite  FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupSkye’s LinkedInSkye’s TwitterSkye’s Website Skye’s Podcasts: Inside PodcastingHeavyweight PodcastPodcast Business JournalFuture Thinkers PodcastThe Bulwark PodcastLink to the book AbundanceLink to Podcast Newsletters:Hot PodBello CollectivePodcast The Newsletter🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
