What's your reason for jumping on this podcast?
Are you just jumping on a bunch of podcasts
to let people know about you?
Or what do you think your goal is in podcasting?
Yeah, first of all, I appreciate you having me on the show
and I appreciate you asking that question
because I think it's something
I believe everybody should be doing.
I have multiple podcasts that I host and run
and we're always looking for guests
and looking for people to be on.
So I believe this is,
you gotta kind of eat your own dog food if you will.
So one reason is being that.
And yeah, I mean, this is the way
we communicate nowadays, right?
I mean, it's funny, I would just pick my kids up,
they're doing summer school and I'm driving back
and outside the, not the school they're going to,
but another school by our house,
there's a bunch of news reporters out there
and they're reporting on a story and I saw them out there.
I said, I wonder what it is.
I turned the news on and you go and I was like,
oh, okay, they were talking about metal detectors
in the school, right?
Kind of irrelevant.
But the point is, is that this is how information
gets out now though.
It used to just be the news, right?
Like, how did you get people to hear your story
or hear who you are or know who you are?
Used to have to like either do something
to get on the news, good or bad, right?
That's how people knew who you are.
You had to take out an article or get an ad
on a bus stop or something like this.
I mean, this is the way, number one,
that we communicate and let people know who we are,
I think is by being on podcasts.
The second thing is it's a great way
to connect with people, right?
You and I have never met, we've never known each other,
but I can't tell you how many podcasts I've been on
or I've had people that were guests on my podcast.
And just because we have that short 20,
30 minute conversation, you almost feel like friends
when you meet each other in person
or you stay in contact for a long time.
So for me, it's one of the greatest forms of networking.
Obviously that was amplified during COVID,
like everything else was,
but I really believe it's just a great way to meet people
and going back to my vision of I got a guy, right?
This is the way I've met people
and know what they do and know who they are.
And it's something I encourage all my clients to do,
go be guests on podcasts.
So I gotta kind of eat my own dog food as well.
