So over the past few years I tried getting speaker spots. Mostly, I get ignored, but otherwise I get footed a check. Please pay 1-5k for a speakerslot since you are a consultant. The reason I got some speaker slots under the belt was because I organized two events, or that I did a stint full time at an organization. Podcasting has been a bit more successful. 3 in my belt in the last year and one more scheduled. But also there they prefer operators over independents/consultants. I do see some people bridge this gap by publishing a book/research having achieved something amazing. What else can I do?

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?
