More About This Show On The Future of Podcasting with Rob Greenlee
During our interview, I talked to Rob Greenlee about the importance of your message delivery and how he grew comfortable being a podcast host.
Rob explained, “Podcasting is a psychological game. It’s a hard thing to teach someone. I think having years and years on the microphone, in all sorts of different situations, really trains you to adapt very quickly. And that’s what this show has done for me for many years. It has really caused me to become even a stronger life podcaster or media creator. And I’m a lot more comfortable. And it’s turned me into being a much better public speaker too. THE SKILLS ARE TRANSFERABLE when I do keynotes, go speak at a conference, lead a panel, or just do zoom calls. That’s one of the big takeaways.”
The Secret to Becoming a Better Podcast Host
I discussed with Rob what makes a good podcaster compared to a mediocre one?
- Why do you need to follow the newest trends constantly?
- How do you make the show better?
- How do you become better?
Rob Greenlee provides this guidance: “I think it’s a lot like starting a business. Right? You have to think about your strategy. You have to think about how you approach the market. You have to think about your level of dedication, consistency, and follow-through. It is about making promises and following through with those you make to your listeners. It’s a serious endeavor.
The biggest thing that I spend a lot of time on when I work with podcasters is helping them cut through the noise because it can be very confusing. It’s almost like walking into a grocery store. And has 40 different brands of toilet paper. Which one do you buy? To some degree, that’s the case with podcasting. What mic do you get, and what platform to host it on? Do I need to be on all the listening platforms? The questions are longer than a lot of people have time for. It really comes down to how you focus on what you’re doing, and how it aligns with other parts of your life.
Because there’s a huge amount of people that start these things and quit 7 to 10 episodes into it because they either run out of something to talk about, they run out of time, life gets in the way, or it’s not aligned with their bigger life strategy, and it just doesn’t fit.”
