Have you ever wondered how two distinct podcasting paths can converge into one electrifying journey? That's exactly what Jeff Dwoskin and I tackle, sharing a laugh or two while dissecting the DNA of our podcasting adventures. With candid tales from the trenches of digital strategy and marketing, Jeff illuminates wisdom only a true connoisseur of conversation could provide. We reveal the gritty reality of podcast perseverance, likening it to the endurance needed to pen a novel, and the sheer determination to overcome the dreaded 'pod fade.'

Reaching out to high-profile guests often feels like throwing a message in a bottle into a sea of uncertainty, doesn't it? Jeff and I swap stories of those nail-biting moments, from the sting of rejection to the thrill of an unexpected "yes" that turns the tide in our favour. We peel back the curtain on the art of networking and the golden rule of persistence, embodying the spirit of independent podcasters who bravely stand their ground amid the glitz of celebrity-backed shows. It's a reminder that every 'no' has a silver lining, potentially paving the way to a future 'yes.'

Then there's that moment when you realize your content is being drowned out by the din of social media trivialities—an experience shared among creators, including myself in my 20-year comedic venture. That's why we introduce Stampede Social, the game-changer for podcasters seeking to amplify their Instagram presence. As we draw this auditory escapade to a close, our hearts are full of gratitude for the listeners and the behind-the-scenes maestros who keep our podcast wheels turning. We're eager for you to join the ongoing conversation, share your thoughts, and become a part of this ever-expanding podcasting community.

Join us as we converse with Teri Kingston, an acclaimed public speaking and TEDx coach, who unveils secrets of the TEDx universe and how to navigate it. Teri, known as one of Canada's top 10 speaking coaches, takes us on a journey through the evolution of the speaking industry and expounds on the transformative role of TEDx in it.
