Summary (Susan Bratton):

  • Podcast production: deliver exactly the same format consistently gives listeners the comfort that you’re there for them.
  • Have an individual in mind (ideally a thought leader) when you’re asking questions during your show.
  • Personal Life Media’s network of 25 programs have taken off thanks to the network effect which we all know by the other name of social media.
  • Don’t be afraid to approach someone yourself if you think you’re the ideal candidate.
  • Ad agencies need to follow UGC, not try to control it, and encourage engagement.
  • Your audience doesn’t care about you. They care about themselves. What are you going to give them?
  • Bloggers are not journalists, but some are. Proceed with caution.
