Episode 281 - CO-HOST - Voice Actor, Chris Turek - Recording Audiobooks, Voice Over Services for Podcasters, Podcast Intros and Outros

Chris is here to talk about how to work with a voice over talent. I have had many podcasters coming to me looking for a great voice to be their intro and outro voice, well you just found one of the best in the industry!

Chris has many credits to his name (voice) and he is available to work with you!
Chris' voiceover career began innocuously enough by recording producer tags for a local indie musician.

Having spent 4 years in morning radio, Chris is your go-to guy for smooth, velvety narration as well as punchy, intense branding. No project is out of his comfort zone, as his versatility suits audiobooks, , corporate narration, commercials, or anything you can think of. his enthusiastic and professional approach ensures you receive a product of the utmost quality in a very timely manner.
Reviews
“I cannot recommend Chris enough. Not only is he insanely talented, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with. He takes a collaborative approach with the author, and truly cares about making sure the end product is the highest possible quality. I literally cannot imagine anyone else being able to do what Chris did with my litany of different characters and their various accents. He’s a one man theater troupe with a naturally incredible narrator voice. I could seriously listen to him read takeout menus. You will not regret working with him. I want him to narrate every novel that I write.

-E.S. Oliver

“Chris was amazing to work with. My book had quite a few versatile characters with different voices. He was able to keep characters separate as well as narrating with inflection and articulation. Chris brought the book to life rather than just ‘reading through it’ as some narrators tend to do. I am more than happy with the results and I will be calling on Mr. Turek in the future.”

Show notes

Episode 278 - CO-HOST - Desiree Petrich - Host of the Lead With Confidence Podcast, The Audience of One

Here’s the short version for any crazy busy people!

Hi! I’m Desiree Petrich. I am an author, speaker, corporate coach and trainer, and the host of the Lead With Confidence Podcast. I founded my company Intentional Action in 2022 after losing my mom unexpectedly just two months after bringing my son home from the NICU.

I began my leadership journey as the manager of a dementia facility. After helping to lead the company through the pandemic, I shifted out of healthcare and became the events coordinator for the local Chamber of Commerce. This experience caused me to fall in love with all things business, community, teamwork, networking, and growth.

My company, Intentional Action focuses on helping high achievers become great leaders. Through intentional leadership and high-performance coaching, workshop development, keynote speaking and unique teambuilding activities, I have been able to share my love of personal and professional development with others.

Lead With Confidence Podcast Welcome to ’Lead with Confidence,’ the best place to become intentional about choosing the life you lead.
Leading with confidence looks like belief. It manifests as a belief in yourself that no matter the situation you find yourself in, you have the tools, the mindset, and the knowledge to overcome any obstacle.

My goal is to uncover the stories and lessons of those who lead by example, to learn what their formula is for success, because guess what… The formula is different for everyone!

So take what you want and leave what you don’t. we’re here to learn and grow together.

I’m Desiree Petrich, a best selling author, keynote speaker, team develompent facilitator, and the best friend you didn’t know you needed! Thank you for being here, make sure you hit “follow” so I can join you in your journey to learn what it means to lead with confidence.

Show notes

Episode 276 - CO-HOST - Jake Clendenning - Your Podcast Is Not About You, The Win Triangle, Celebrate Small and Dream Big

About Me

I am a self built millionaire. I come from very humble roots where my parents worked tirelessly and endlessly to put food on the table. My dad used to tell me his job was to open as many doors for me as possible and it was my job to walk through them and create my own freedom. That has been my guiding star and I still use it heavily in my coaching practice and in my faith.

I have failed, rebuilt, failed again and risen and failed again just to rise again stronger and wiser. I have been a builder and developer, a professional real estate agent, a CEO, an executive business coach, a business owner, a creator, a father a husband and continue to open doors for my clients and family so they can walk through them. I have created a life of freedom that many believe impossible.

My working hours do not match my income and there are jokes that I just must be selling drugs to make the kind of life I live. I made the decision to live a big life and to do great things and do them well.

My passion for the natural world and conservation of wildlife drives me to do outside stuff and things that are who I am at the core.

My big why is; To live free such that my actions inspire others.

My mission is to: Guide leaders to abundance and opportunity for themselves and those they influence.

My mission rolls my core values into my business which passes along to all those I seek to empower to live as they believe they are meant to. https://www.facebook.com/cyberbackercoloradowyoming/ https://www.facebook.com/jake.clendenning.5 ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast ⁠https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners⁠ ___ ⁠⁠⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/⁠

E275 - Shaboozey Your Podcast - If You Don't Fit Into A Category, Create Your Own - Stand Out As A Podcaster Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Episode 275 - Shaboozey Your Podcast - If You Don't Fit Into A Category, Create Your Own - Stand Out As A Podcaster

Shaboozey has taught us a valuable lesson - create your own path! Shaboozey has taken Country Music and Rap and created an entirely new sound that will attract many music lovers - how can his musical journey help you with your podcast? Create your own path and don't worry about fitting into a certain path, category or label - be you!

4 Reasons Why Creating Your Own Path is Key to Creativity

Authenticity Fuels Innovation Creating your own path allows you to embrace your true self, free from the constraints of societal expectations and labels. When you are authentic, your creativity flourishes because you are not limited by predefined norms. This authenticity leads to original ideas and innovative solutions that stand out in a world full of conformity.
Freedom to Experiment When you forge your own way, you have the freedom to experiment without the fear of failure or judgment. This freedom encourages you to try new things, take risks, and explore uncharted territories. Such an environment is fertile ground for creativity, as it allows you to discover unique perspectives and develop unconventional approaches.
Personal Growth and Self-Discovery Carving out your own path is a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. It pushes you to understand your strengths, weaknesses, passions, and values. This deep self-awareness is essential for creative thinking because it helps you tap into your inner resources and harness your unique abilities to create something truly original.
Breaking Boundaries and Setting Trends By not following predetermined paths, you have the opportunity to break boundaries and set new trends. Trailblazers are often those who dare to go where no one else has gone before. By creating your own lane, you not only distinguish yourself from others but also inspire and influence those around you, contributing to the evolution of creative fields.

Takeaway Action Item

Reflect on areas in your life where you are conforming to societal expectations or following predetermined paths. Identify one specific area where you can start forging your own way and take a concrete step towards creating your unique lane. This could be as simple as pursuing a personal passion or as bold as redefining your career trajectory.

E274 - What is the Difference Between a Podcast Influencer and a Podcast Thought Leader Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Episode 274 - What is the Difference Between a Podcast Influencer and a Podcast Thought Leader

The key difference between a thought leader and an influencer in the context of podcasting lies in their primary focus and approach.

Thought Leader Podcaster

A thought leader podcaster aims to provide in-depth knowledge, insights, and expertise within a specific niche or industry. Their primary goal is to educate, inform, and drive meaningful discussions around their area of expertise.

The advantages of being a thought leader podcaster include:

Establishing credibility and authority in their field
Fostering a loyal audience of engaged listeners seeking valuable knowledge
Creating a platform for sharing original research, ideas, and perspectives
Potential for monetization through consulting, speaking engagements, or sponsorships

Requiring a significant investment of time and effort to produce high-quality, well-researched content
Potentially narrower audience reach compared to influencers
Difficulty in maintaining a consistent content schedule due to the depth of preparation required

Potential for a broader audience reach and higher engagement
Opportunities for sponsorships, product placements, and brand partnerships
Ability to leverage their personal brand and connect with their audience on a more personal level

Difficulty in establishing credibility and authority in a specific field
Potential for content to be perceived as superficial or lacking substance
Reliance on maintaining a consistent personal brand and image

The disadvantages may include:

Influencer Podcaster

An influencer podcaster, on the other hand, focuses on building a large and engaged following through their personality, lifestyle, and relatability. Their primary goal is to entertain, inspire, and influence their audience's opinions and behaviors.

The advantages of being an influencer podcaster include:

The disadvantages may include:

Call to Action

For podcasters, it's essential to understand the distinction between these two approaches and align their content strategy accordingly. If your goal is to establish yourself as an authority in your field and share valuable knowledge, consider positioning yourself as a thought leader podcaster. However, if your strength lies in connecting with audiences through your personality and lifestyle, embracing the influencer approach may be more suitable.

Ultimately, the key is to identify your unique strengths, define your goals, and consistently deliver content that resonates with your target audience. Whichever path you choose, remain authentic, engage with your listeners, and continuously strive to provide value through your podcast. https://favoritedaughtermedia.com/open-this-book/

E273 - CO-HOST - Joel Bouchard - The Philosophy of Podcasting, PodMatch, Introverts and Engagement Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

Episode 273 - CO-HOST - Joel Bouchard - The Philosophy of Podcasting, PodMatch, Introverts and Engagement

About Joel Bouchard

I am a doctoral student in psychology, multi-instrumentalist record producer, author, painter, Army veteran, business leader, local government official, and fellow podcaster, who firmly believes that generalists have a place in society and can make contributions to human knowledge. While I may not be an expert in any one field, what I am is an expert learner who is well-versed in a wide array of areas. While I am philosophically minded and prefer big-picture conversations that knit together disparate concepts, I can speak to details on many topics, including music, education, psychology, the military, and much more.

Podcast - From Nowhere to Nothing

In this podcast, we look at philosophers, abstract ideas, concrete cultural issues, and everything in between with a down-to-earth demeanor and willingness to explore.
