Converging Paths in Podcasting: Tales of Grit, Growth, and Amplifying Your Voice

2/7/2024
Have you ever wondered how two distinct podcasting paths can converge into one electrifying journey? That's exactly what Jeff Dwoskin and I tackle, sharing a laugh or two while dissecting the DNA of our podcasting adventures. With candid tales from the trenches of digital strategy and marketing, Jeff illuminates wisdom only a true connoisseur of conversation could provide. We reveal the gritty reality of podcast perseverance, likening it to the endurance needed to pen a novel, and the sheer determination to overcome the dreaded 'pod fade.' Reaching out to high-profile guests often feels like throwing a message in a bottle into a sea of uncertainty, doesn't it? Jeff and I swap stories of those nail-biting moments, from the sting of rejection to the thrill of an unexpected "yes" that turns the tide in our favour. We peel back the curtain on the art of networking and the golden rule of persistence, embodying the spirit of independent podcasters who bravely stand their ground amid the glitz of celebrity-backed shows. It's a reminder that every 'no' has a silver lining, potentially paving the way to a future 'yes.' Then there's that moment when you realize your content is being drowned out by the din of social media trivialities—an experience shared among creators, including myself in my 20-year comedic venture. That's why we introduce Stampede Social, the game-changer for podcasters seeking to amplify their Instagram presence. As we draw this auditory escapade to a close, our hearts are full of gratitude for the listeners and the behind-the-scenes maestros who keep our podcast wheels turning. We're eager for you to join the ongoing conversation, share your thoughts, and become a part of this ever-expanding podcasting community. Got a question about something you heard today?

Storytelling: Not Just An art, It's Science, with special guest Tom Jackobs

4/5/2023
When it comes to sharing your story, it's not just about the art. It's not just about sharing the right story. These are two important pieces. Regardless of the story you're telling you need to understand that, as a speaker, there's a science behind it, and where that story MUST land with your audience. Carls' guest today has years of experience in business and in speaking and shares his journey and how the power of story can have massive impact on your business! Tom Jackobs has been an entrepreneur for 30+ years. He’s definitely had more failures than successes, but wouldn’t have it any other way. He sold his fitness business which he owned for 9 years to become the Impact Pilot, helping entrepreneurs generate more income through better sales strategy and using stories to sell. Tom has a BFA degree in Theatre from DePaul University in Chicago, and holds his private pilot licence for single engine airplanes, which was a lifelong dream he achieved in 2013. Tom has been a contributor to CBS Radio in Houston, a guest on Great Day Houston television show, Univision Television, Fox 26 News, KPRC Channel 2 and CW Houston. He is also a presenter at the Small Business Development Centre (SBDC) in Houston. Tom loves to create highly impactful stories which can move the listener to take action. Primarily to buy the product or service of the speaker. Tom helps his clients craft their impactful stories so they can grow their business. For Tom storytelling is as much an art as a science. Tom combines both along with drama to create a remarkable story they can share with the world.

How To Be A Tactical Presenter with special guest Zack A. Knight

3/29/2023
Are you telling the story that needs to be told? A lot of speakers DON'T! When I started my speaking journey I would share how I used to stutter when I was a kid. After two years of speech therapy I grew out of it. End of story! Pretty bland, pretty boring. Imagine if I dover deeper and shared the WHOLE STORY! Speeches and presentations should be about stories, as well as tactics behind your overall messaging. My guest today does a deep dive on this, and shares his miraculous story of his journey as a veteran. Zack A Knight is a business leader and operations consultant; media specialist; podcaster, and an Army veteran. Zack’s focus in his life and his business has always been leadership and service. He began his career as a metro-Atlanta police officer then infantry leader in the Army. Since leaving active duty, he has carried those principles into his business life where he continues to help his clients to protect and grow their businesses. Zack began building his first business while in basic training, knowing he wanted to give more. Over the last 6 years, Zack has used his expertise from his law enforcement and military experience to focus on helping entrepreneurs grow their own businesses through masterminds, coaching, consulting, and podcasting. In his book, The Legacy of Love, Zack tells his story that centers around trauma, healing, and learning. He uses this experience to help his readers know that they aren’t alone and can heal from their own traumas. Our traumas don’t define us, but they can hold us back. Join Zack in discovering how we can use those experiences to learn and grow and become a stronger person who can look in the mirror and confidently say “I LOVE YOU”.

I Just Got Back From A Trip To Cuba! Part Five: Experiences

2/22/2023
'I just got back from a trip to Cuba!' There has to be a few stories there, for sure! Unfortunately sometimes stories get lost. Either we aren't sure how to tell them, we're not confident or we simply don't think people care. Truth is stories matter...A LOT! In this five part series we're covering off some ideas for how to share those stories. Last time we identified how food can shape a story. We all have likes and dislikes, and therefore opinions in this area, so we need to keep it relatable. Some key key take aways were: #1 Draw a parallel/comparison to make it relatable #2 Look for humour (my partner who hates seafood was horrified as my shrimp looked at him the entire meal!) #3 Go for 'shock factor' but keep it positive (terrified of bees, I stuck my hand right in the hive...and, as the local farmer had said, not one sting.) In today's episode we continue the Cuban journey. When we visit new places we look for new experiences. All too often we just skim over what we did. Maybe we don't think folks will want detail. It's been drilled down in our minds to keep it short. Truth is you can still keep it short, while giving the goods. Your audience needs enough information in order to relate to you, and build up that know, like and trust factor. Here are todays pro-tips: #1 Include the 5W's and 1H (When, Where, What, Who, Why & How) #2 Tap into emotion. How did this experience make you feel, and why? #3 Ideally, make sure it's YOUR story so people can create more of the KL&T factor with YOU! Check out the episode to hear how it all comes together!

I Just Got Back From A Trip To Cuba! Part Four: Food

2/16/2023
'I just got back from a trip to Cuba!' There has to be a few stories there, for sure! Unfortunately sometimes stories get lost. Either we aren't sure how to tell them, we're not confident or we simply don't think people care. Truth is stories matter...A LOT! In this five part series we're covering off some ideas for how to share those stories. Last time we identified how geography can have deep meaning, but to have impact we need to paint the picture with clear brush strokes to set the scene. Some key key take aways were: #1 Describe in detail (colour, texture, touch, smell) #2 Where is it (be specific, name a place) #3 Who's with you (give them a name, make them part of the story) In today's episode we continue the Cuban journey. Many people who visit this particular locale, belly ache about the food. Sometimes though the food gets rave reviews. There are many contributing factors, so today we dive into how to bring life and flavour to the story about food in general in your stories. Food can tell many stories, about wealth, culture, and yes, geography too. Oh, and, for the record, it doesn't always have to be about a specific flavour or appeal. Food can play a descriptive role in the story's narrative. Here are todays pro-tips: #1 Draw a parallel/comparison to make it relatable #2 Look for humour (my partner who hates seafood was horrified as my shrimp looked at him the entire meal!) #3 Go for 'shock factor' but keep it positive (terrified of bees, I stuck my hand right in the hive...and, as the local farmer had said, not one sting.)
