Last year, I had just completed Seth Godin’s altMBA course. During that intense 30-day sprint, I had gained clarity that I wanted to produce one, if not two, specific podcasts. While that was great, the question was, “how do I do this?” One of my peers in the course recommended I look into Steve Heatherington 🌔's 5-week course, The Podcast Workshop. I researched the course, which included a terrific conversation with Steve, who was very engaging and open. I’ve never been one of those hyperbolic individuals, you know…the type that hawks shoe trees on QVC “that will change your LIFE!!!” That said, I found the course a terrific fit for where I was in my development process. The structure allowed me to learn the needed fundamentals, and, at the same time, focus in on the often neglected components, like distilling my description to it’s pure essence, and defining my audience avatar so that I could easily filter any and all ideas I had to determine if they truly made sense for my podcast. All of this, in a cohort format that encouraged collaboration, the value of giving and receiving feedback, and accountability. So, did The Podcast Workshop change my life? Well, certainly more than any shoe tree I’ve ever owned. But seriously, it helped crystalize my next steps, and I find myself, a year later, with one podcast in production, and a second in development. I learned a lot of the nuts and bolts. Perhaps more importantly, it reinforced that I don’t need to have everything perfected before moving forward (I could write a book on this subject), as well as getting the hell out of my own way (again, another book subject). If you’re considering creating a podcast, or just learning more about the medium, I would definitely recommend this course. The next cohort starts on January 20th on Maven. You can check it out at https://lnkd.in/eesTkhvr. And, of course, feel free to ping me with any questions. I’m always glad to chat.

In 2023, facing retirement, I wondered what my next chapter would look like. That's when I discovered @SteveHeatherington's 5-week podcasting course. Now that retirement is here, the lessons Steve taught me are proving invaluable as I craft my new directions - from podcasting to blogging, from political analysis to community mindfulness sessions. Skeptical about a class on podcasting? So was I. But Steve's approach helped me: 1. Uncover my authentic voice - and adapt it effectively across different platforms and purposes 2. Master podcasting fundamentals from an industry professional 3. Build a solid foundation for creating diverse content - from meditations to interviews to solo episodes, which I'm now producing and sharing   The next cohort starts January 20th on @Maven - it’s worth your time and investment: https://lnkd.in/gXtJHiKg @steveheatheringtom

I received this message from a student after The Podcasting Workshop. They found a way to begin turning their dream into a reality. The best part of teaching is seeing how people release their ideas to make a change in their world. You know you have something to say and this workshop will help you get your message out there. I first built this course to help people wanting to learn to podcast but not knowing where to start. I have been delighted that people keep choosing me to be their guide. I’m so honored to regularly achieve high ratings. My next cohort kicks off on January 20th 2025 on Maven. I’ve made this next cohort with simple steps, interaction with both me and other students in this small cohort, and being practical and project-driven. We will learn to record well, edit invisibly and reach an audience of people who want to hear from you. 👉 Join here and save 25% with FAST25 (ends Sunday): sign up now https://lnkd.in/e3Nsm8WZ I am looking forward to working with you.

CHANGING THE CONVERSATION What if you had something to say and said it? Radical thought, I know. Grabing attention is one way. Saying something people want to hear is even better. That means saying the right thing to the right people at the right time, rather than just trying to say it to the largest number of people. So what would you like to talk about? If you don't like the current conversation you can change it. You choose what to say. Podcasting is a great way to practice thinking, communicating clearly and connecting with your audience - people who want to hear what you have to say. We start learning how to do it on September 16th. Come and join me - https://lnkd.in/e5riUKKF #learntopodcast #personalgrowth #change
