Tell us about some podcast rain that’s happened to you because of your show.

•  One of the surprising things for me was interviewing two billionaires in one day.

How has your podcast helped you to deepen relationships?

• It made me a speaker, it made me more confident, it led to structure my thoughts, it made me more empathetic as well.
• Communication skills and the ability to relate to people and continue a conversation.

Talk about the startup and how podcasting led to that.

• I was doing the voice tech podcast and after I finished my internship I kept it going and it grew so doing really well. Because my podcast is all about voice technology, I thought this is really coming along.
• I looked online and there was really no automated creating a podcast and so that’s really where the idea of Rumble Studio came along.

Have you leveraged your podcast to build and grow your business?

• I've got a lot of connections in the voice challenging world thanks to me having interviewed a lot of them or worked with them.

Podcaster 

Chrystal Robinson host of Koloraddikt Podcast

 Tell us a little bit more about your show

• So I do live shows. I’ve been doing it for three years, it's on Instagram and so we go live every single week Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. eastern time. We accept guests bi-weekly.

What's your take on podcasting

•  Listening or audio platforms, but I think with the way that, you know, communication is spreading these days everyone calls everything a podcast.
• For me, a podcast is typically interviews or explorations of thought.

Why did you start this IG live in the first place, and how has it impacted your brand and your business since you started?

•  I originally started going live. It was a part of a challenge and I was like, oh, this isn't bad and I don't have to do this huge production.
• It was a path of least resistance and an option to get my message across in a way that doesn't require a lot like when it's live.

How do you grow your audience?

• How I grow my audience secretly is my guests.
• Our guest is usually how we grow as well as engagement.

Sally Zimney host of This Moved Me Podcast

Tell us about your podcast

• To bring expertise out in the world and a podcast felt like a safe and wonderful way to do it.
• For creatives, entrepreneurs, coaches, changemakers, to help them move their audience and do something meaningful and powerful with their voice in their story. 

Thing(s) that happened to you because of your podcast

How do you grow your audience?

• Very slowly through consistency.
• Doing videos definitely helps, and use it on social media because if people see the face of the person whose voice they're gonna hear it makes it personalized. 

Have you done any work with respect to the types of questions you ask or topics you cover?

• When it feels too formulated, that’s when I feel it starts to lose the beauty of the art form, which is this really intimate conversational feel. 
• Having some markers and structural pieces that people can expect again and again is really wonderful.
