Welcome back to The Switch! In today's episode, Eric and I take a trip down memory lane, dishing out some advice we wish we could give our 2018 selves just as we were kicking off our podcasting and creative journey.
Switch-it-up Steps:
Invest in Your Craft: We reflect on the importance of investing in quality equipment right from the start. Better gear isn't just about sound quality—it's about respecting your work and your audience.
Understand Your Audience: Learning about analytics early on can transform how you build your audience. It's not just numbers; it’s about understanding who's listening and what they care about.
Patience Pays Off: We discuss the value of letting things develop at their own pace. Sometimes, the best move is not to move—produce 80 episodes, then reassess. Let your project breathe and grow naturally.
Keep It Simple: We talk about the power of simplicity in structure and execution. Keeping things straightforward lets the organic flow of the podcast shine, allowing it to evolve naturally into its own style.
Embrace the Journey: Reflecting on our early days, we realize that while focusing solely on podcasting might have been simpler, the diverse formats we experimented with have shaped what The Switch is today. We started with a buffet approach and have since learned to pick what truly works for us.
Join us as we explore these reflections and more, sharing the insights we've gained on nurturing a creative project from the ground up. Tune in and maybe find some gems for your own creative endeavors!
