Title: Five ways to get yourself booked on a podcast, and how doing so can help build your brand and your influence! (Episode 223)

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Developing your expertise — and your credibility around it — is an important part of building influence. But equally important is finding opportunities where you can share that perspective in ways that help others and contribute to the broader discussion in some way. The incredible growth in podcasts presents endless opportunities for you to showcase your knowledge and expertise on this growing medium, but getting booked on top-rated podcasts requires that you do a few things first.

This week, I’m sharing five tips for getting yourself booked on a podcast, and how doing so can help build your band and your influence.

ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST: I’m solo this week!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

In this week’s episode, I’m drawing from countless examples of pitches — the good and the less good, and sharing what will get your pitch moved to the top of the stack! I’m also sharing some perspective that will make you both a desirable guest, while also helping you build a connection with the host.

Do your homework: think about specific topics you want to talk about and why and how those topics can be helpful to the show’s audience.
Listen to a few episodes and make note of particular show structure.
Share examples of the advice you might give if asked to appear on the show: the more detail the better!
Tell the host what you are willing to do to promote the show when it posts.
When using a PR team for pitching, manage them! It’s the only way you’ll be sure you’re receiving the best ROI!

Ultimately, all of these tips boil down to one key theme: aligning what you want to accomplish with the goals of a podcast, but always doing so with an eye toward using what you know to add value to someone else. When your pitch is oriented to help the host’s audience v. just focusing on how amazing your own story is (even when that is the case, as I’m sure it is), it will differentiate you and your pitch. Your personal story and your ability to use it to add value are not mutually exclusive!

“How to build grit & entrepreneurial muscle with “failure rich” jobs! – Episode 222 Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

SHOW NOTES

Title: “How to build grit & entrepreneurial muscle with “failure rich” jobs! Episode 222

Guest: Julie Schechter

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Connection is an important and powerful component needed to build influence, but our lives are incredibly busy. We feel stretched — especially during the holidays. We can have the best of intentions about sending a gift or card, but can’t seem to find the time. Many of us are drifting apart from those who are important to us. It was that problem — and concern about a broader loneliness epidemic — that inspired this week’s guest — ballet dancer and lawyer turned entrepreneur Julie Schechter. This week’s episode is about Julie’s journey and her repeated career pivots. Her advice is incredibly valuable whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or just looking to challenge yourself in a new way.

ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

Julie Schechter is the founder of Small Packages, and — soon to launch — Present App. Her entrepreneurial journey was inspired by a challenge she felt personally, and that she also saw others struggling with. But, the path she took to arrive at starting Small Packages was a less than linear one. From mastering in dance in college to pursuing a professional ballet career to AmeriCorps to Harvard Law School, to entrepreneurship — Julie’s story is fascinating!

KEY TOPICS AND WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

THE POWER OF DIFFERENTATION: Julie talks about how her unique path actually created differentation for her in applying to Harvard Law School. Think — Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde” but without without the scented resume.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORY AND CONNECTIVE THREADS: Julie talks about the connective thread that ties her experience and resume and the particular skill that has proven most valuable to her in all of her career junctures including her more recent experiences as a founder and entrepreneur.

HOW TO PULL THE PLUG ON SOMETHING YOU LOVE THAT ISN’T WORKING: This is an incredibly difficult thing to do as an entrepreneur, and Julie shares her thoughts.

PICKING PARTNERS & CO-FOUNDERS: Julie shares her process, but also a particularly important piece of advice for having a “what if it doesn’t work out plan.”

THE VALUE OF ‘FAILURE RICH’ JOBS: and how they can help you build grit that is essential for entrepreneurship.

THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES ABOUT FAILURE: Julie talks about how this particular skill — which is so critical for building influence — is also especially critical for entrepreneurs in a way that is different from other jobs. Find out why!

There is so much great advice and perspective in this episode. I know you’re going to love it, and I’m excited to hear your feedback. Please be sure to let me know what struck you in this conversation? I’d love to hear. You can reach via the link in the show notes which you’ll find here in Episode 222: shesaidshesaidpodcast.com .

BONUS! Why your investment in self-care is about more than YOU! Episode 221 Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

SHOW NOTES BONUS Ep 221 with author Kari Kampakis

TITLE: BONUS! Why your investment in self-care is about more than YOU! Episode 221

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

We get so many mixed messages about self-care. For many of us, even doing the minimum amount can leave us feeling guilty.

I often find the topic seems to be one of extremes. Taken too far self-care can legitimately become “selfish,” but when we don’t pause and take the time to engage in an adequate amount of self-care, it means we’re not doing what we need to refuel in order to be the women and people we hope to be, and to have the impact we hope we can have. Holidays are often the most challenging and can leave us feeling incredibly depleted, guilt-ridden, or BOTH.

That’s why I think today’s conversation is so important and will resonate with YOU. It’s also why I wanted to share this encore episode while I’m taking a break this week to recharge a bit and spend more time with my family.

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

My guest is Kari Kampakis. She is a best selling, award winning author and blogger and one of my favorite repeat guests here at She Said/She Said Podcast.

In this encore BONUS Episode Kari joins us today to talk about her latest book — her fourth and my personal favorite of Kari’s so far. The book is called “More than a mom: How prioritizing your wellness helps you (and your family) thrive.”

Kari has a way of articulating the challenges of modern motherhood that is grounded, practical, and spiritual. She often provides just the perspective that I need when I’m facing a parenting challenge, and I know many of her readers and followers feel the same.

Even if you are not in the throws and joys of motherhood — or maybe even if motherhood isn’t part of your journey — I know you’ll find much to love and appreciate about Kari’s message. It’s an important one and not just for moms.

HOW SELF-CARE RELATES TO INFLUENCE:

Investing in ourselves is part of building and sustaining influence. That’s because it’s an essential part of how we become the people we want to become. It takes effort, work, and self reflection. It also reminds me of a personal mantra of mine: “you get what you give.” That concept applies to ourselves as well as to others. When we starve ourselves for the recharge and fuel we need, we’re less able to do all of the amazing things we hope and dream about accomplishing.

KEY TOPICS:

PRIORITIZING OUR OWN SELF-CARE INCREASES THE POSITIVE IMPACT WE HAVE ON OTHERS: Kari talks about several dimensions of this that I think you’ll really appreciate.

TAMING THE TENDENCY TO MULTI-TASK: Kari talks about how she tames this Type-A tendency, while channeling her mental energy in ways that enable her to have a bigger impact

WHY KARI SAYS BUILDING OUR NETWORKS IS AN IMPORTANT FORM OF SELF CARE: I love how Kari’s message about creating and tending our networks. Investing in our relationships is a key dimension needed to build and sustain influence in our lives and careers.

HOW AND WHY KARI THINKS ABOUT HER LIFE AND CAREER IN SEASONS

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO LEARN TO “MOTHER OURSELVES”

KARI’S ADVICE FOR HOW TO AVOID GETTING SUCKED INTO DIFFERENT DEMANDS WHEN SHE’S MADE A COMMITMENT TO HERSELF

HOW KARI CREATED A BUSINESS OUT OF A PASSION FOR BLOGGING: You can find even more about her personal journey in our earlier conversation back in Episode 116 KARI KAMPAKIS.

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you find as much value from this conversation with Kari as I did, and I hope you’ll make the time to read Kari’s new book “More Than A MOM: How prioritizing your wellness helps you (and your family) thrive.”

It’s terrific!

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?

I’d love YOUR feedback! You can DM me on Instagram @LauraCoxKaplan or use the website contact link: she said/she said podcast.com And, please consider leaving a review of the show wherever you are listening to this podcast. Reviews help me continue to improve the content so that it’s giving you even more for your investment of time. Plus… it’s what friends do! I’d be really grateful. Thanks for considering.

How to boost your holiday mood using gratitude & the power of story! Episode 220 Nov 19, 2022

Show notes

Title: How to boost your holiday mood using gratitude and the power of story! Episode 220

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

We often put so much pressure on ourselves to create the perfect holiday experiences. That added stress can leave us depleted, overstretched, and — if we aren’t careful — it can put our mental health at risk. We can’t fully eliminate stress (nor would we want to), but we can engage in a few strategies that I find particularly helpful. These things also tie into a couple of the most important dimensions needed for building and sustaining influence that I talked about back in Episode 215. Please be sure to check out that episode if you missed it!

I’m releasing this week’s episode a few days before Thanksgiving. If you are anything like me, you are already on overdrive! All the more reason to make sure you have some additional tools and perspective in mind as you manage through holiday stress. This episode is short and a good one to listen to while you are running your errands, or taking a few minutes for yourself.

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

I’m solo this week!

KEY TOPICS:

THE INFLUENCE / MENTAL HEALTH CONNECTION

REFRAMING OUR STORIES: Why we can’t overlook the more difficult ones, and why they matter so much.

HOW THE FIRST THANKSGIVING was actually a celebration of survival.

GRATITUDE LISTS ARE GREAT, but “other praising” may yield more value!

Perfect? Or happy? Why perfectionism sucks the life & happiness out of YOU (Episode 219) Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Episode 219 (part 2 of 2)

Title: Perfect? Or happy? Why perfection can suck the life and happiness right out of you

Guest: Karith Foster

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Shifting our mindset, and reframing the stories we tell ourselves is critical for building and sustaining influence. When we shift how we think about our circumstances, or maybe how we evaluate whether to take risks, the outcome — win or lose — can look very different.

When we hold ourselves to a standard of perfection, we are likely to: shy away from risks that are more likely to lead to setback before they lead to achievement; second guess our gut instincts because we are worried of how we might be perceived (and that we will fail); and we will always feel “less than” because we are holding ourselves to a standard that isn’t ever achievable.

Even when we understand how devastating perfectionism can be, it can be a beast to wrestle with!

This week’s guest shares her story and her perspective on how to tame the beast of perfection. She knows, because she too has been there!

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

This is Part 2 of my 2 part conversation with comedian, author and entrepreneur Karith Foster.

We jump right in where we left off in Part 1, Episode 218. If you missed part 1, please click here.

KEY TOPICS in PART 2:

Karith’s book: “You can be Perfect or You can be Happy: How to Let Go, Worry Less, and Enjoy Life!”

How Karith’s infant daughter almost died, and how that story led to Karith’s book title

Why you need to ask for what you want (and why specificity counts!)

The power of story — There are so many lessons and take aways from this two part conversation with Karith, including so many ways that her stories reflect aspects of how she has (and how we can) build and sustain influence in our lives. I’ll also be sharing a few more on social media over the course of this week — so please be sure to follow me on Instagram, Linked In , Facebook or find all of our She Said/She Said products and content here!

Friend, I hope you found this investment of your time worthwhile, and I’d love to hear your feedback on this or any of our She Said/She Said Podcast episodes. In particular, I’d be so grateful if you would take one minute — or two at the max — and share some love in the form of a review of She Said/She Said Podcast on iTunes. Reviews help me improve our content. That’s important for YOU because it results in a better product each week. And, it’s what friends do! So think about it! I’d be really grateful.

Until next week you take care.

How to say “yes,” use humor, and keep perfection in check! Episode 218 Nov 05, 2022

Show notes

Show Notes

Episode 218 Part 1 of 2

Guest: Karith Foster

Title: How to say “yes,” use humor, and keep perfection in check

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Ever have self-doubt and perfectionist tendencies keep you from saying yes? Yes to the big assignment, yes to the new, “stretch” job, or yes to the new client because you’ve convinced yourself they will say “no” before you even bother to make your pitch?

We essentially talk ourselves out of even trying because we are afraid we might fail. Does any of this sound familiar?

This week, we’re tackling the importance of overcoming self-doubt and fear of failure in order to say “yes” to those stretch goals and big opportunities, even when we may not (and frankly shouldn’t) have all the answers up front!

But, the story doesn’t end there. What happens when saying “yes” holds some complications that make it more challenging than we could ever have imagined? What then?

This week’s guest is our “Sherpa” for how to make sense of an incredibly difficult experience. How to use humor, reframe the story (and the pain) into something that can actually lead us closer to where we are ultimately supposed to be, and how that process is incredibly important for building our influence in a way that can also have a real and powerful impact for ourselves and for others.

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

Karith Foster is a reformed stand up comedian and journalist who found a way to make humor a transferable skill. Her company Inversity Solutions was born out of an experience that forced her to take a good, hard look at what was most important and how she could use her talents to help others.

Her incredible resume includes: working for Barbara Walters in the early days of The View, managing Human Resources at Estée Lauder, countless gigs in television, rapid and film, and working as on air talent for Don Imus at Imus in the Morning. Today’s she’s the founder of her company “Inversity Solutions,” which is taking a different approach to diversity training and to bringing people together.

Karith has written two books including her latest: “You can be perfect or you can be happy: how to let go, worry less, and enjoy life.”

KEY TOPICS in Part 1, Episode 218:

“INVERSITY”: what it means and why words matter in helping us find common ground, and why Karith built her company on this concept.

SAYING ‘YES’: What Karith learned about missed opportunity, and how it propelled her into her most challenging job.

USING HUMOR: Is humor a good choice for everyone? What if you just aren’t that funny?

HOW HUMOR BECAME A ‘TRANSFERABLE SKILL’ for Karith.

WORKING FOR DON IMUS: Karith tells the story of how she came to work for the late Don Imus. In her telling of the story, she shares the racially offensive language used by both Don Imus and Bernard McGirk in a 2007 exchange about the Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team. Neither Karith nor I condone this language, but we agreed that it was important to include as context for her story, and how the experience impacted the way she now thinks about her work at Inversity Solutions.

NEXT WEEK: I’ll share Part 2 of my conversation with Karith in Episode 219, and we’ll dive into her terrific book: “You can be perfect or you can be happy: how to let go, worry less, and enjoy life!”

Please let me know what you thought of the episode! And, please share some love in the form of a review! Reviews and feedback help me improve our content and ultimately help me give YOU a better product week over week. And, it’s what FRIENDS do! So I’d be really grateful!

I’ll also be sharing some additional takeaways about this and our other episodes on social media. Please be sure to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Linked In you’ll find me @LauraCoxKaplan

“Seven ways to harness your fear through story” – Episode 217 Oct 29, 2022

Show notes

Title: “Seven ways to harness your fear using the power of story,” Episode 217

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Fear can be crippling when we don’t understand it, or haven’t learned the best ways to manage it. While your particular fears may differ from mine, there is one important dimension that aligns us. It also happens to be one of the key dimensions that helps us build and sustain influence.

Can you guess what that is?

It’s story. Specifically, the stories we tell ourselves about those things that provoke or trigger our fear.

In this special “Halloween Episode” of She Said/She Said Podcast, we’re digging into the connection between fear, influence, and story and drawing great perspective from guests on this podcast. I share seven tips (summarized in brief below) that can help you understand and tame your fear while simultaneously building your influence.

KEY TOPICS:

Why Story Is Such A Powerful Part Of Fear

Seven Tips For Taming Fear

Reframe what happened
Remind yourself about what you learned from failure or setback (let it give you momentum for future risk taking)
Honestly assess the outcome (get help if you need it)
Before you take a risk, make a habit of asking yourself: “what might I learn?”
Before taking a risk, “plan to fail” and think through what you’ll do when that happens
Remember “feedback” is not failure. Honestly assess the data!
Don’t relinquish your power to fear

Famous Quotes from the Episode:

“You have the power over your mind— not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” — Hamlet, Act II, Scene 2.

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing that you think you cannot do.” — Eleanore Roosevelt

We all feel fear. How we respond to it often means the difference between using it to propel us toward our goals, or allowing it to keep us stuck. The better equipped we are to understand and manage our fear, the more we can use it to help us build and sustain influence.

Let me know what you thought of the episode! DM me @lauraCoxKaplan on Instagram, Linked In or Facebook — I’d love to hear from you!

And, please be sure to leave a review on iTunes or wherever you are listening. Reviews help me improve and create even better content to meet you right where you are on your journey! So, leaving a review is a good investment in both She Said/She Said Podcast and in YOURSELF!

How a problem solving framework for lawyers can help YOU build more influence! Episode 216 Oct 22, 2022

Show notes

Episode 216: “How a problem solving framework for lawyers can help YOU build more influence!”

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

There is tremendous value in developing and fine tuning problem solving skills. What might surprise you is how a problem solving framework developed for law school students can help you build stronger connections with others, while also boosting your personal influence!

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

This week’s guest is actually a repeat guest — her name is Kim Wehle. She is a lawyer, author, and law professor at the University of Baltimore. Her latest book is called “How to Think Like a Lawyer — and WHY: a common sense guide to everyday dilemmas.” In the book and in this conversation, Kim shares a methodlogy she developed for her law students that has problem solving applicability well beyond Kim’s classroom, and is one she uses in her own life including with her four daughters.

What I especially love about this conversation is that the topic goes well beyond problem solving. It’s really about how to create a different perspective in approaching challenging situations in our lives. That might include: a career pivot, preparing for a difficult or contentious conversation, trying to find common ground on some issue or topic, navigating the political minefield that we increasingly have to navigate with friends and loved ones, or in Kim’s case, even navigating a difficult divorce.

KEY TOPICS:

CURIOSITY & A GROWTH MINDSET: Kim’s approach helps us to reject an “us v. them” approach and learn to engage our curiosity to develop a problem solving orientation. It’s also a great example of how we can deploy a growth mindset. [If you haven’t read Stanford Professor Carol Dweck’s fabulous book “Mindset” add it to your list!]

KIM’S “BICAT” DECISION MAKING FRAMEWORK: break it down, identify your values, collect knowledge, analyze both sides (or all sides), and tolerate.

HOW KIM’S APPROACH CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE BETTER OUTCOMES…. And might even save your time!

HOW KIM’S APPROACH CAN HELP YOU BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND EXPAND YOUR NETWORK

Three ways to build influence needed to THRIVE! Episode 215 Oct 15, 2022

Show notes

SHOW NOTES Episode 215: “Three ways to build influence needed to THRIVE”

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: This week’s topic was inspired by a thought-provoking conference I attended last week that was hosted by The Policy Circle. The theme of the conference was building thriving communities. As I reflected on the topic, I thought about how clearly it aligns with how we talk about INFLUENCE on She Said/She Said Podcast.

Using that inspiration, this week’s podcast focuses on three ways you can build influence in a way that helps YOU to thrive. As I prepared for this week, I went back and pulled a few key episodes that illustrate dimensions of this around three key areas that illustrate this connection. I’ve included those links below. I’d love to know how you think about the link between influence and thriving! Please share your thoughts with me.

THIS WEEK’S GUEST: I’m solo this week, but so much of the perspective I share comes as a result of so many women and men who have shaped my thinking on this topic, including so many guests on She Said/She Said Podcast!

KEY TOPICS IN EPISODE 215:

Don’t underestimate the smaller habits and practices that contribute to building influence.

The connection between INFLUENCE and THRIVING.

3 Key Areas for building influence that also help you to THRIVE:

Curating / editing our story: that includes what you learn from failure.
Investing in ourselves (and in others).
Engaging with international persistence: thinking about taking action is fine, but actually doing it is even better!

This episode also compliments a LIVE podcast I recorded last week with my friend and the woman who encouraged me to start a podcast — The Policy Circle co-founder and host of Trust Your Voice Podcast Sylvie Legere. In my conversation with Sylvie we dig a little deeper into the topic, so be sure to check that out on Trust Your Voice (link below) as well!

Title: “How to design your life for more meaning and more tranquility” Episode 214 Part 2 of 2

GUEST: Laura Vanderkam, time management and productivity expert

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Ever feel like your to-do list is running your life? Maybe you’re frustrated that you don’t have time for the types of experiences that make life more meaningful? Maybe you feel like your time is literally flying, but you don’t feel like you have much to show for it?

These feelings are familiar to most of us, and they are often accompanied by an overall feeling of being overwhelmed. In this state, it’s very difficult to take a step back and experience joy or to work to invest in those experiences that help us build and sustain influence in our lives and careers.

This week’s guest will help you redesign your life to not only get more done, but to help you calm the chaos.

Chaos — and the overwhelm it leads to — can hijack our precious mental energy (as we talked about in Episode 209) diverting it away from those projects and people who are most important to us. It’s calmness that enables us to be more present, while still getting all the things done that have to happen in a given day or week. It also happens to be an essential building block for building and sustaining influence!

THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

Laura Vanderkam is a time management and productivity expert, and the author of “Tranquility by Tuesday,” her latest book among an impressive library of some nine books on time management and productivity including: The New Corner Office, Juliet’s School of Possibilities, Off the Clock, I Know How She Does it, What the Most Successful People Do Brefore Breakfast, and 168 Hours. Her work has appeared in: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Fast Company, and she is a repeat guest on She Said/She Said Podcast (Episode 93) having joined me back in 2020 to talk about WFH strategies with kids during the pandemic. Laura also hosts two podcasts: Before Breakfast, and co-hosts The Best of Both Worlds with Sarah Hart-Unger.

NOTE: The conversation with Laura Vanderkam is split into two episodes — Episode 213 Part 1, and Episode 214 Part 2, which gives you the option to listen to the entire conversation (both episodes back-to-back) which runs about an hour, or you can split them up listen in two separate 30-35 minute episodes. Your choice, but I do recommend listening to the episodes in order 213 followed by 214.

KEY TOPICS PART 1 – EPISODE 213:

TIME AWARENESS: Why time awareness and understanding more precisely how we spend our time can inform a more honest self narrative or story about our time and how busy we actually are v. how busy we think we are.
INCREASE YOUR HAPPINESS? Why time awareness might make you feel better and even happier.
SHOULD YOU PLAN YOUR WEEK ON SUNDAY? Why you might want to rethink the conventional wisdom of planning for the week ahead on sunday.
LAURA’S 3-CATEGORY LIST: The benefits of a 3-category list for the upcoming week.
HOW SHOULD I SPEND MY SUNDAY? Why spending Sunday more focused on fun than on the week ahead might be more valuable.
