We found two pertinent pieces from Seth’s blog and a clip from an interview. Both enjoyable and insightful, as always!
Seth’s blog - the Minimal Viable Audience
Seth Godin - The secret to finding your audience
And these are some questions to get the conversation started:
what are your 10 people telling themselves: about the world, themselves, others–focus on feelings
what problem are you seeking to address with your podcast?
Plenty to think about!
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday after Interview Practice,
A+A
PS - And for those who missed last weeks, we had a most engaging conversation, led by Annie Parnell, who introduced us to a very useful structure for our interviews, based on Larry Brooks and his method of engineering a story. Borrowing from a writer’s perspective will be incredibly useful in building our storytelling skills.
Here is a copy, if you would like to review. I printed mine!
Oh yes, this is a big one! I’m not sure if people have come across this, it was part of The Creatives Workshop and I believe big part of The Marketing Seminar. Definitely worth sharing!
Tomorrow! Put your thinking hat on as we discuss the ways of finding our 10. Looking forward to learning from our experience.
If you have time, please see the blog post and the short clip of an interview with SG, as a good prompt to get our conversation started. BYOB as @AnnieP suggests (that’s B for Beverage).
I’m not sure I will be home in time for the call today. I will have Internet access, so at the very least, I can start the call and make Anna (or whomever) a host. That way you can use the Zoom room no matter what.
@Anna
I found Saturday’s Zoom meeting was the Very Thing I needed. Thank you for a great meeting! I learned so much and enjoyed meeting new podcast friends.
And thanks to @craigconstantine for helping get it launched while moving 88?! boxes of books. I have my own collection
Yes, that was a good subject to tackle and we will be going back in again to see if there are new thoughts, new aha moments! @Jayne
We are here to think about making our work and efforts worthwhile.
And thank you all - @Christy?, @Fred_Gutierrez, @Lovelace and @maryjlrowe for bringing such good projects to the table, open for discussion.
Thank you @AnnieP for partnering! And of course @craigconstantine! for hosting, we shall do it again, next week
So glad this is building up nicely @Lovelace I was intrigued by your work. An author I like very much is Jhumpa Lahiri, who has introduced me to this particular cultural bridge . Have you interviewed her, by any chance?
@Anna
Jhumpa Lahiri is on my list of authors to contact and request an interview. I have been a little reluctant (read: scared) to get in touch with her until I have a few more interviews/conversations published.
I wanted to establish credibility with my website and podcast before going after the top people on my radar.
It’s perfect for Anna’s comprehensive, inspiring, invitation!
