I didn\u2019t do it with any big intentions or visions, but just because many people were encouraging me to do so and thought I\u2019d be good at it.<\/p>\n<p>I always loved meeting new people and chatting to them about business, so I thought that would be the premise of the show. However, I absolutely hate it when I see interviews that are so clearly staged or prepped by their PR team so you never get any real answers.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I wanted No Bullsh*t Talks to be full of raw and honest conversations that really pushed boundaries.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/5uVCk16mVMfWqpniTSdgoO?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><u>Finding Podcast Guests for Season 1<\/u><\/h4>\n<p>Before I started the show, I was so nervous that I wasn\u2019t going to be able to find anyone for the show and I\u2019d run out of people within a few weeks. I naturally reached out to my network and had so many people say they\u2019d love to be on the show but then they never ever got back to me.<\/p>\n<p>I started to worry \u2013 it\u2019s exactly as I feared. However, I had 5 people in my network who agreed to do it and I managed to get kickstarted with a great bunch of guests. After these were released, I was inundated with requests from guests to be on the show.<\/p>\n<p>I got about 5-10 requests per week coming in, which was absolutely crazy, I thought. Why would all these people want to be on my small show?!<\/p>\n<p>Before long, I was able to pick from an incredible bunch of inspiring people, including a model and breast cancer disrupter who has been inspiring women all over the world with everything she does.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/7KAe5PIsjqo0yb1Qc3hgcF?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><u>How many podcast downloads?<\/u><\/h4>\n<p>Before long, everyone started asking how many podcast downloads I was getting, and I hadn\u2019t even thought to look. I was super surprised to see how popular it was!<\/p>\n<p>Experts say that if your episodes get more than 124 downloads in the first 30 days, then it\u2019s in the top 50%. Just think about that for a second\u2026 there are currently over 4 million podcasts out there! To be in the top 50% means that I must be above 2 million other podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to The Feed, published by Lisbyn, since I got over 1000 downloads per episode, I was in the top 20% of podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s completely mind-blowing.<\/p>\n<h4><u>Plans for season 2<\/u><\/h4>\n<p>After this news, I felt that season 1 was a great success and I learned an absolute ton.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/4WHe3mY9HYV48rmRpPKklj?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019m planning to \u201cupgrade\u201d the experience in season 2 and film in our very own studio and have the guests do an in-person interview.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the guests on the show will be people I admire and look up to, so I cannot wait for the conversations I\u2019m about to have. I\u2019m also giving listeners the opportunity to ask future guests questions they may want to ask!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more information, as I\u2019ve just finished season 1 and even though I promised to release an episode every week, I feel that I deserve a little break before season 2!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I launched a podcast in January 2022 and pledged to release one episode a week for a year just as a new goal for that year.
