Do you have a podcast? Lessons learned?
Hi all, A colleague and I are considering starting a podcast and I'm just curious about lessons learned from those of you who do this. We have several goals: To help expand our reach and digital footprint, a little passive marketing, provide some examples of our work, etc. We do want to give back to our respective communities without a lot of overhead or time suck. We both have the tech and are tech oriented folks although on different sides of technology - his consulting and speaking are related more with leadership/HR/employee support whereas I am primarily a data person who is helping to demystify tech (including AI) and make it work for people. I've been on others' podcasts but I thought it might be time to try this for myself. Thoughts?

I've had 2 (now focussing on one). The Drama Dialogues was me on my own and made it to 78 episodes and I really loved doing it but when I started the second (with my husband), the first tailed off. I realised I couldn't spread my energy to 2. Getting guests can be time consuming but I found so many people wanted to come on and now we get emails every day to ask to come on. Just ask. My preference is to stack a load up and then release them over time. It doesn't always work that way because you have to be on it to get that number of guests and we also run a business so it would be a lot of time in one go. We put ours out every fortnight and the time between episodes flies past. I have been editing myself and usually allocate the podcast length x 2 plus time to post on socials. We just signed up to a new podcast recording system which I'm hoping will be less clunky than zoom (Riverside ai). Not tried it yet though. My advice would be to just get started. I procrastinated for a year before I did one and now I have 106 episodes across both and 11k subscribers on Leading Boldly. We haven't made money from it yet and we are just working on that bit but now we know our content is really good, we can create a strategy for that. Main advice is do it, if you love it you will continue, if you don't you won't. Then at least you will know.
