  • Please improve audio quality!

    Great discussions with “Shark” and a range of professional speakers. However, ironically the audio quality is distorted and sounds like static (or a kazoo). Five stars once this is improved.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Podcasting for Referrals
Q: What would you tell that speaker or that person who's watching this saying, I don't know how to get started with it?
He advises speakers to define their audience, decide whether interviews or solo episodes best serve them, create useful searchable content, outsource production and choose a sustainable publishing schedule.
Podcasting for Referrals
Q: Tell us how you're using your podcast and what that's doing to help you in your speaking profession.
Cates explains that his podcast helps him stay relevant to the financial-services industry, improve as a speaker and coach, develop relationships, find clients and generate referrals and sponsorship revenue.
Together We Grow
Q: Are there any other sort of guard rails that you would put in place when you're considering hiring a new person?
Rader asks candidates to submit a short video explaining their interest and what they would contribute. She also uses paid trial tasks, begins with pilot work, and attends a contractor's first client session to ensure the arrangement works.
Together We Grow
Q: How did this come about, that you really had this crystallization and bringing on the first few people in this model? How did that work?
After landing a large corporate contract she could not deliver alone, Rader invited two productivity specialists to pilot working under the RaderCo umbrella. They built a regular knowledge-sharing practice while continuing to grow their own businesses.
One Step Toward Your Summit
Q: How do you recommend, especially people who are new at this and say, oh, yeah, I need to do something that's memorable, that's surprising, to find that thing that's truly them?
Shapira recommends strategic authenticity: choosing what feels genuine while also being effective for the audience. Speakers should demonstrate relevant knowledge and skill so that distinctive personal choices reinforce, rather than undermine, their credibility.
