The Intangibles That Make You A Rockstar Podcaster
This bonus episode is an experiment in asynchronous podcasting.
The concept is that guests can record answers to host questions anytime they want, via a SaaS tool called Rumble.Studio.
It's a different way than I normally do the show but I wanted to experiment with it to see how it works.
I think this method of making podcasts has a lot of merit. I'm not going to change the format of my show to this method but for what you're about to here, it makes a ton of sense.
The reason I was inspired to give it a go is because I interviewed the founder of Rumble.Studio, Carl Robinson.
This first episode is the answer to the question:
What are the intangibles that make you want to be on a show?
The answers were super interesting and insightful. If you're a podcaster, this is definitely worth a listen.
