Turning Curiosity into Content with Johnny Bell 12/30/2020

Turning Curiosity into Content with Johnny Bell Join me this week for part one of a two part conversation with aspiring podcaster Johnny Bell, from Northern Ireland. Johnny is beginning his podcasting journey with the goal of becoming his own boss - and the research, hard work, and dedication he has shown early in his journey suggest that it is a question of not “if” but “when” he will achieve that goal. Johnny has spent an incredible amount of time preparing for the launch of his show and many of the factors he has considered and worked through over the past few months are things that we have (or should) all considered, no matter where we are on our podcasting journey. Some of the topics we cover include: The steps and considerations that should be involved when developing a concept for your podcast; Receiving judgement from people, no matter what you do, and why that should fuel, rather than prevent, your leap into the spotlight; The importance of finding and sharing your unique perspective when there are likely others already discussing the same topics; The importance of taking your time, doing research, and planning before just diving in to your launch - and what is the appropriate balance between preparation and messy action; The value of working with other podcasters and taking advantage of cross-promotion; Why dropping the ego is critical to building the relationship with your listeners and improving the quality of your podcast; Why it is so important to build the relationship with your audience and how to strengthen that relationship; How to take feedback and suggestions from your audience, and discerning what to apply and implement.

Turning Obstacles into Advantages with Gemma Sherry 12/23/2020

Turning Obstacles into Advantages with Gemma Sherry This week, I sat down with Jazz and Bossanova songstress, Gemma Sherry, whose world tour came to an abrupt halt due to COVID and she was faced with the decision to either sit back and wait for things to normalize - or shift her focus and take advantage of the situation. She chose the latter. In our conversation, Gemma and I discuss how many of the lessons she has learned on her journey from the Australian outback to New York City can be applied by podcasters who are on a similar path. We dig into some mindset and marketing strategies that Gemma has found to be effective and discuss ways in which they can be applied to all areas of life, including podcast and business growth. Some of these topics include: Seeing opportunities where others see obstacles and become discouraged; Connecting with your audience and strengthening relationships by allowing your audience to see behind the curtains; The importance of establishing yourself as an expert in your field; How to set yourself apart from “entry-level” talent within your industry; The importance of learning from your competition and not allowing yourself to become blinded by envy; Why it is important to set goals and make their achievement non-negotiable; How creating urgency is critical to accomplishing goals and moving on to bigger and better things; The importance of personal development and finding community to build in accountability and support mechanisms - and help celebrate your wins; And plenty more! ---- To connect with Gemma Sherry or buy any of her music, go to or visit her website at For more podcasting tips, to enter to win a free podcasting microphone and stand, or to just stay connected, follow Chad on Instagram at Join me live every Wednesday (noon ET) in December to have your podcasting questions answered in real time - More information and the zoom link for these sessions can be found at To check out the podcast services offered by Level Up Recording or to schedule a free brainstorming/consultation session, visit /episode/index/show/leveluprecording/id/17301683
