Thrilled to announce the On Deck Podcast Fellowship to help people start or grow their podcasts.
Having a podcast over the last 5 yrs has changed my personal & professional life, and I want more people to benefit from starting one.
It's still super early innings for podcasting.
How has podcasting been transformational?
- Made friends via guests (e.g. Tyler Cowen) but also via listeners. It’s a way to find all the other people like you out there.
- Learned a lot. Each podcast is a forcing function to learn enough about a topic to not look dumb.
You should start a podcast if:
- you want to build a strong network and/or showcase your strong network
- you want to build expertise and/or showcase your expertise
- you want to promote a specific topic or way of thinking
- you’re insatiably curious
Whether you want to podcast to learn, build an audience, or build a business, the fellowship will set you up for success. It'll answer q's like:
- What should my angle be?
- How do I manage the logistics?
- How do I launch & promote it on iTunes?
- How do I get great guests?
We're lucky to have some great participants initial as well as speakers who've volunteered to share their expertise with the cohort.
Speakers include: @patrick_oshag @smc90 @kmele @david_perell @sachitgupta @JeffUmbro @JasonYanowitz @HarryStebbings @laurashin & others.
It’s never been easier to start a podcast. The tools are all there.
And there's boundless opportunity, tons of niches still uncovered.
All that’s missing is the will. Declare that you'll start one, and then do it. Hope you'll do it with us.
Oh, and podcasting is an exceptional way to build a personal moat or asset that can help you in your career:
Fittingly, just released a podcast with @david_perell, @sachitgupta, and @JeffUmbro.
In it we cover:
- why start a podcast
- how to grow a podcast audience
- what makes a great podcast and how to improve as an interviewer
- white spaces for new podcasts
