How do I get my first podcast?

I wasn't sure either. The only reason I had some idea was because I happened to hear a buddy from the #MattandRyanPodcast talk about Carl Panzram in a investigatory review of that psycho. At the end of one of their conversations, I heard them say something about a service called Anchor. I looked into it briefly and thought, "Why not?"

The biggest reason was that I hadn't considered any other options. I didn't know what I was doing, and just like elementary school, I didn't do my homework. Anchor turned out to be a great start for me, regarding distribution. But I still had to consider software/hardware for editing, production, communication channels, booking structure, and any other planning considerations.

My only considerations initially were as follows:

1. Anchor sounds good.

2. I'll just use my phone camera and microphone.

3. This doesn't seem too hard.

So then, there I was. Getting a podcast is easy. Have an idea; hit record. Podcasting is an industry for a reason. It requires a bit of structure and insight. So now on #TransactingValuePodcast, I have help, mentors, and equipment. Experience has taught me a lot of things; but one thing that I won't forget: you don't get your podcast. You earn it.

Not to get hyperbolic, but failure taught me that. What I have now, for the better, is what I have earned and grown into. I don't just mean as a business. I mean as a person.

However you decide to get your first podcast though, survival takes communication. Welcome to the team!

I spent decades lost, confused and overwhelmed trying to figure out how to integrate into society and within my sphere of influence. I grew up in a split household. I got bullied and learned material that I’ve since forgotten, or learned more about people than academics. I joined the Marine Corps, and became a divorced, long-distanced father. Even when I was physically present, I spent more time staring at walls and listening to my own demons more than growing with my son. I’m learning increased physical distance does not have to decrease capable influence. I’m learning who I am among some of the most knuckle-dragging, supportive bunch of people that I’d stand by any day of the week.

It may feel like you’re going through life alone; you’re not. We’re all growing through life together, skull-dragging one day at a time and getting stronger for it.
