Podcasting Badass: Podcast Tips & Mindset Tricks For Success & Monetization
Are you a podcasting badass? In order to have a successful monetized podcast, you need to have that confidence, strength, and fearlessness you’d expect from a badass. The best news is, you already have that badass inside of you, just begging to come out, and I am here to help with my new show, Podcasting Badass!
Your host, Sober Steve The Podcast Guy, knows what it takes to have a successful and monetized podcast- he has done it for four years to the point it’s become his full time business, and this series will let you in on one of his biggest secrets to success- it’s half industry tips and tricks and it’s half mindset.
You can spend hundred of hours learning all the perfect podcasting methods and how to make social media algorithms bend to your will, but if your head isn’t in the game, your confidence is shaky, or you question whether or not you are worthy of success, you and your podcast will fade away into oblivion before you see the results you are truly capable of.
I love that I have the opportunity to combine the skills and tools you’d expect to see and hear from an IFC certified coach to help prepare your mindset for success, with the practical tips and tricks on the podcasting formula for success from a Podcast Growth Coach Certification Program from Podcasting Business School to help my clients every day. Now, on Podcasting Badass, I will share how I help my clients overcome both the mental and emotional roadblocks that typically prevent podcasters from truly succeeding.
When over half of the new podcasts not making it past eight episodes, something needs to change with the way new podcasters are launching. Most of these podcasts didn’t fail because they weren’t good, they failed because the creator or team behind them was lacking in either the skillset, mindset, or, most often, a bit of both. Don’t be a Podfader, be a Podcasting Badass!

Hey, they are podcasting bad as is. It's your host sober Steve, the podcast guy, and to celebrate labor day weekend with you because yesterday, one of my clients, Jim launched his podcast. Jim sells the Suncoast and it is out now wherever you find podcasts. And it is a great opportunity. If you live in Sarasota or the Suncoast to Florida, or are ever considering moving to the Suncoast to Florida, he has a realtor who knows his stuff inside and out, came to me saying he wanted to stand apart. Cause we. I live in an area where there are literally two realtors for every block, not even neighborhood, but block in town. And so one way to set himself apart, he decided was to launch a podcast because he's the only realtor out of hundreds in town that has decided to start one and to keep it going. And he knew that he needed some help. And so he reached out to me. And from there, I've set it up and I will include the trailer at the end as well, so that you can listen a little bit more about what you can. Expect from his show. But I love for you to hear what his journey so far from the moment we started working together to the moment his podcast. Launched was like, and then a little bit more information about the podcast itself for you all. If you'd love to go find it and follow it, I will make sure to include links sport in the show notes. But Jim has been an amazing podcasting bad-ass who had it in him from the moment I met him and I am. So glad that he went on this journey and took me along for the ride. And so subscribe and follow wherever you listen to podcasts. Jim sells the Suncoast and here's his journey.
Steve:Hey there, Jim. So what inspired you to connect with me about making a podcast?
Jim:You know what? It wasn't something that I thought that I wanted to do at first, I, as we met and I'm like, Oh, podcast, that's cool. But as that idea fermented in here and went around, I thought, what is a way that I can reach out one to grow my brand. And do it in a way that impacts people, touches a lot of people. And it's a little different, if you go to YouTube, every single realtor in the country has videos on there and most of them are long form. So you're talking. plus 30 minutes, 40 minutes. And I don't think most people really just want to sit down and watch a video about an area. If you're following up on a house, maybe, but otherwise you're in there sitting down going, Oh, let me read about, Atlanta, 30 minutes later, you're like, all right, I still don't have what I want. So how can I, how can you get out there and what can you do? And I think talking with you when we talked about where do you listening most? And I listened to podcasts all the time. So every time I'm driving around somewhere, I got a different podcast in there and I have about six that I go through. I've listened to them all for this week. What else is out there? It could be 15 minutes. It could be 30 minutes, 45 minutes. I can start and stop, but it was a great way to hear and get the information. And then if I want to do more due diligence or research on something, I can follow up. But it certainly was an avenue to learn and experience it.
Steve:Yeah I definitely agree. That's huge for your business. And while I might've inspired you about how cool a podcast could be, why did you choose to work with me rather than rough it out and tough it out on your own?
Jim:You know what? Some of it might be. I'm at that age where when you meet somebody who is experiencing an expert in it, you rely on their expertise. I don't need to reinvent the wheel. I know my topic. I know what I want to communicate. I'm not above asking for help on how can I communicate that out there, and as we had these meetings and we had the talks one, your competence came through, I was able to see you, you knew what you were talking about. Sometimes you talk somebody, Oh, they do this. Then when you sit down and talk, you're like, Oh, they really do. They really do know what's going on. Oh, I never thought about that way. Look what they're doing. And, when you start adding those different little pieces together, the podcast is much more than, let me just record this and put it out there. Do we have a theme? Do we have a schedule? Do we have a plan for stockpiling or getting ahead so that you can still live your life? How are we going to advertise this? What can we do? You're talking about, 30 second reels or little outtakes of things that can go out there. All these things that can come together that maybe I could have figured it out in five or six years, but that's, you're paying somebody for their expertise and knowing what's going on. And I apply that same information to anybody that says, why do I want you as a realtor? You know what? Most people do one to three transactions in their entire life. When I look at what's going on here at the brokerage, they're doing that every week. Where's the expertise and how can we help?
Steve:And you have now recorded a couple episodes that are pre launch. So what have you found most valuable in my coaching program so far?
Jim:You know what, it's the expectation that it's not as hard as you think it's going to be. It's not as difficult. Um, most people do not like the way they look and sound. But you know what, everybody in your life, that's what they've seen and heard and you're doing pretty good. What's to be afraid of. So just jump out. And that's been the first thing. I'm just going to put it out there. I'm not going to, stop and start and make it perfect. We're going to put it out there. So people see who you are. I let, my first guy, Adam and say, Hey, it's my first podcast. I go, me too. So let's see what happens. It's, there's really no downside. And then we just jump in.
Steve:I love that. And my podcast about podcasting and one of my branding is the idea of being a podcasting badass. So what does being a podcasting badass mean to you now that you are a podcaster?
Jim:It means that it's a chance to showcase that, just maybe I know what I'm talking about. That I know who to talk to, to get the information. I know where to go for the research. I know how to do this and I know what I want to find out. That's guiding what I'm doing is, you know what? I don't know that much about, pest control. I'm not a pest control expert, but I know somebody who is. And so we got to sit down and during the conversation several things that he said, I'm like, I had no idea. And so now I might think about that a little bit different. And that may guide how I look at real estate in the area different so that it's directly impacting what I do and what I'm trying to attract people to come do.
Steve:Excellent. I can't wait for everyone in town to be listening as well as people moving to town to listen. And speaking of can't wait, you are a couple weeks out from release. So what are you most looking forward to for when the podcast is out and people can listen and download it?
Jim:It's exciting. There's so much happening in real estate in the country and particularly down here in the Suncoast of Florida that I'm really excited that people see it and maybe reach out and want to have some more information on it. When you're talking about the different communities and different structures that are going on, whether you want to live on the key or on the water, you want to live inland, or you want to experience a vacation home in the area for the winters. It's going to be fun to talk about all those with the people who are the experts in those. And see where that goes. Excellent.
Steve:Sounds good. That is all the questions that I have for now. Anything else that you'd like to add about your experiences with me?
Jim:You know what, if you are desirous of getting information out there or being able to impact a lot of people, I'll tell you, talk to Steve, this has been such a smooth and much easier than I expected transition to set it up and to do this, there's no. Exclusive studio or a lot of outlay for equipment, if this is something that's what I do more than I'll step into it, but it's something that I can step up to. And I like the experience and the guidance and, the followup, Hey, did we get this done? Great. Here's where we're going. Let's check it. Let's verify it. All right. We've got to go back and follow up on this aspect. Great. I know what to do. So it's not two weeks and you'll be out here and you're like, all right, but what do I do for two weeks now? We've got a step by step. We got process, I jumped on I grabbed your videos, which were great really able to go through it So then when we had our next talk and meeting a lot of it was clear Maybe I wasn't an expert but at least I knew the direction we were going and was able to speak about it
Steve:Excellent. Thank you so much jim. I appreciate it
