Turning Curiosity into Content with Johnny Bell

Join me this week for part one of a two part conversation with aspiring podcaster Johnny Bell, from Northern Ireland.  Johnny is beginning his podcasting journey with the goal of becoming his own boss - and the research, hard work, and dedication he has shown early in his journey suggest that it is a question of not “if” but “when” he will achieve that goal.  Johnny has spent an incredible amount of time preparing for the launch of his show and many of the factors he has considered and worked through over the past few months are things that we have (or should) all considered, no matter where we are on our podcasting journey.  Some of the topics we cover include:

• The steps and considerations that should be involved when developing a concept for your podcast;
• Receiving judgement from people, no matter what you do, and why that should fuel, rather than prevent, your leap into the spotlight;
• The importance of finding and sharing your unique perspective when there are likely others already discussing the same topics;
• The importance of taking your time, doing research, and planning before just diving in to your launch - and what is the appropriate balance between preparation and messy action;
• The value of working with other podcasters and taking advantage of cross-promotion;
• Why dropping the ego is critical to building the relationship with your listeners and improving the quality of your podcast;
• Why it is so important to build the relationship with your audience and how to strengthen that relationship;
• How to take feedback and suggestions from your audience, and discerning what to apply and implement.
