3 Pillars of a Standout Green Industry Podcast
Most green industry podcasts never achieve their full potential because they look amateur and lack a clear point of view. Some even disappear after a few episodes. If you’ve ever said, “We should start a podcast,” but had no idea what comes next, this episode gives you the exact roadmap. And if you have a podcast but it’s falling flat, this insight-packed episode is just what you need to become a leading voice in the industry! In this episode, Landscape Leadership® CEO Chad Diller sits down with podcasting expert and Multimedia Producer Scot Leonard to unpack the three pillars behind building a high-quality, video-first podcast that actually grows your brand. They break down how to define your POV, choose the right format, nail your camera, lighting and audio setup, and structure episodes so your audience stays engaged. You’ll learn the biggest mistakes new podcasters make, how to elevate production without overcomplicating gear, and how to repurpose every episode into a full content ecosystem. Whether you're a contractor, marketer, or industry partner, this is the definitive guide to launching a podcast that stands out in the green industry.
