S11 E22 Know, Like, Trust, AND Your Special Sauce: The ‘Extra 12%’ for Your Podcast

  1. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Will Durant
  2. Become a person worth listening to by remembering that your listeners can’t see you. So how do you connect with people you can’t see?
  3. The nutshell: Yes to everything above. And you can start simply: 1) ask people to share their stories with you; and 2) share your stories with them. 
  4. [TAKE ACTION] Plan to speak with 3 people for 13 minutes this week. Ask them to share stories (that could be relevant for your show). Share a story or two with them. Then go back through the bullets above and reflect on the conversations you’ve had. How will you integrate what’s relevant into your podcast?
