Hey, there's a website I'd like to share with you.
0:01
And that's arrow.net, a-r-r-o-e.net.
0:05
It's not just a podcast.
0:07
It's 20 different podcasts that give you the power of choice.
0:11
In fact, speaking of the choice,
0:12
that's one of the top podcasting shows with all of its episodes.
0:16
Sure, we have a daily prayer.
0:18
Sure, we talk about everyday life and the challenges at work.
0:22
And we're trying to figure out ways to get up and beyond
0:25
where we presently stand with challenge.
0:27
Sure, we have a choice to be made only on arrow.net, a-r-r-o-e.net.
0:34
Enjoy your exploration.
0:37
Hey, what's going on?
0:38
I'm the host of the weekly podcast, Pod Crashing,
0:41
and Pod Crashing one-on-one.
0:43
These episodes connect listeners to podcast specialists
0:47
The goal has always been to inform our podcast community
0:51
with subjects that deal with everything and beyond.
0:55
Podcast hosts are usually very open, always filled,
0:58
with a special kind of spirit that they love to spread
1:01
because they are skilled journalists, medical specialists,
1:04
true crime soldiers, gamblers, motivators,
1:06
spiritualists, actors, and even their children.
1:09
Trust me, there is a podcast for every single subject.
1:13
Pod Crashing one-on-one has been around since March of 2019.
1:17
The original goal was to put focus on helping up
1:20
and coming podcasters to have the right information
1:24
about hosting as well as surviving inside the podcasting world.
1:28
The idea went 54 episodes before adopting a new idea.
1:32
Dude, you're talking to the podcasters themselves.
1:35
Why aren't you sharing tips from each and every person?
1:40
The purpose of podcrashing one-on-one
1:42
is to help you build your own platform, you know,
1:44
promote it and maybe even earn some money.
1:47
This is podcrashing one-on-one.
1:52
This is a very touchy subject and it may ruffle up your feathers,
1:55
but we're gonna talk about it anyway.
1:56
Should podcasters be aware of topic changes coming?
2:01
I mean, when it comes down to it, is it or is it not popular?
2:05
The cold hard facts here.
2:07
Yes, you should always be aware of topic changes,
2:10
but you should do all you can to keep from chasing them blindedly.
2:15
You need two very important tools in the art of staying focused.
2:20
Awareness and agility.
2:23
Awareness and agility.
2:25
Tell yourself that over and over and over again.
2:29
I am in touch with my awareness and man,
2:32
I've been blessed with some agility.
2:36
Both are very strong to keep you from trend hopping.
2:40
When you come true to yourself,
2:41
you're gonna notice very easily that any type of popularity shift
2:45
comes at the drop of a hat.
2:47
No matter what you're doing, watch or look away
2:51
that feeling of being popular.
2:53
Oh, it's gonna play hell on your creative school.
2:56
Culture is always moving way too fast for each and every one of us.
3:00
I don't care how great of a podcaster you are.
3:02
Culture is always gonna win the race.
3:04
Topics that once drew in large numbers
3:07
have actually faded into the sunset.
3:09
New conversations are always going to surface,
3:12
but what risk are you willing to take?
3:15
This is when your podcast can instantly sound
3:21
When you repeat yourself, the audience picks up on it
3:24
and then decides, I don't know man,
3:26
this this voice, it's missing something.
3:28
I'm not feeling that real moment anymore.
3:31
Now those who've chosen to check in, remember,
3:35
always have the power to say, I'm off your podcast stage.
3:41
Coming up next, being aware,
3:44
it doesn't always mean making a change.
3:50
Hey, thanks for coming back to pod crashing one-on-one.
3:55
Being aware, oh, it doesn't always mean
3:58
you gotta make a change.
3:59
It's pretty much you telling yourself that,
4:01
hey, I understand this present day moment.
4:05
When you decide to trim chase,
4:07
you're actually telling yourself, hey,
4:10
we're gonna look at this face to face
4:11
and our listeners are just gonna have to hang out with us.
4:14
And that's when you face listener erosion.
4:18
The trust is slipping.
4:19
They know when your podcast pivoting.
4:22
They either like it or they don't
4:24
and they will decide for you what your identity is going to be.
4:28
I mean, your long term followers are there with a perspective
4:32
and they're not always looking for the headlines.
4:35
The biggest and best podcasts keep their core themes
4:38
always in locked in mode.
4:40
They don't wave goodbye to the origin.
4:43
The goal, the mission or the vision
4:45
is to play the game like a smart podcaster.
4:49
Watch patterns don't invest in those spikes.
4:53
Oh, those things freak me out.
4:55
Stop worrying about what's trending today.
4:58
Ask about the same questions that keep coming up.
5:01
What frustrations are you facing on a daily basis
5:04
and is it shifting your performance
5:06
and do you wanna change your performance?
5:09
And in doing that change,
5:11
what happens to your podcast behavior?
5:14
Many topics have the superhero strength
5:16
to outlast true crime.
5:18
Stay culturally aware.
5:23
Do not abandon your core identity.
5:26
And finally, don't confuse popularity with purpose.
5:31
Oh, let me say that again.
5:33
Don't confuse popularity with purpose.
5:39
What is your podcast purpose?
5:40
Do you really think it has to be
5:42
the greatest podcast on the planet?
5:45
Stop trying to be the early trend center.
5:49
Being meaningful is always going to win.
5:52
I'm Arrow and that's pod crashing one on one.
