PodMakersWhere AI Fits In Your Podcast ProcessWhat’s the role of AI in YOUR podcast process? It seems like everyone is using it to some extent.
Whether you’re generating show notes straight from your recording file or letting AI choose where to cut your video for social media posts, there are tons of AI tools out there nowadays.
So when we say AI, what are we talking about specifically? What have we ourselves gotten experience with in the pod space? We’re answering those questions and more with this episode.
Through an authentic creator’s lens, there seem to be so...
2024-03-2835 minPodMakersWays to Define Creative in Your Life + BusinessOne of the big questions we’re facing at the moment: how are we finding our creativity these days?
It’s funny that we’re a podcast about podcasting, because the most listened to episodes of our show are the ones that dive into broader concepts than just business or marketing how-tos.
So in this episode, we’re following that thread.
Join us for a conversation about how we’re building an “ecosystem of creative pursuit” (this gem courtesy of Carin) in 3 specific ways: nurturing our creativity, protecting our creativity, and living creatively day-to-day....

You’re a busy business owner, serving clients left and right, and it feels like you don’t have time to figure out how to repurpose content from your podcast.
It’s enough with ideating, recording, and publishing regular episodes, amiright?
But really, you don’t have time NOT to have a repurposing process in place, and this episode will tell you exactly...

2024-01-2351 minPodMakersWhat Is Professionalism in Podcasting?Professionalism… Why does that seem like such a loaded word? Is it universally felt or is it just us?
Broken down into its simplest terms, the definition of professionalism in the dictionary is simply “the competence or skill expected of a professional.”
But how society and culture defines professionalism is so much more than that!
It encompasses personality, behavior, appearance, language, personal style, background, and more with judgements on top of each layer.
It seems like no one can really agree on what it means.
Then there’s the whole matt...

The struggle happens when we make our anxiety a problem.
True, there are different facets of creative anxiety and different ways to guide yourself through it. But it all depends on your own nervous system and where the anxiety is really coming from.

This conversation around setting boundaries, asking for what you need, and understanding yourself on a deeper level as a person and business owner was inspired by a recent text message exchange Carin and Kacey had.

Today I’m talking about overburdening with responsibility, what it looks like, why we’re like this, and how to be with ourselves within all of it. What are you actually responsible for?

I try to stay out of church Christian culture wars at all and any costs, but this is a topic that I’m extremely passionate about. So many Christian pastors with large followings and platforms are speaking very negatively about deconstruction and deconstructing folx and it’s creating a stir and a divide in communities and culture. Culture and humans make it tricky… it’s all such new terminology and who can use it and how is all becoming a question. The thing I want to...
