Welcome to the Ready Set Collaborate podcast with Wanda Pearson and my guest, pete Podcaster Kane is what we call it here.

Talk about what you're doing and how you got started.
00:01:10.614 --> 00:01:17.168
Let me see, I'm just actually I was trying to do my time here, so yeah, so, pete, I am so excited about you being here.
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:18.926
And I'm excited to be here.
00:01:19.207 --> 00:01:21.847

00:01:23.701 --> 00:01:24.903
Welcome to.
00:01:24.903 --> 00:01:32.290
We're going to have a good time, and whenever you're talking about something like podcasting, I geek out on it.
00:01:32.290 --> 00:01:36.995
So I'm more than excited to talk about the subject.
00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:39.004
I appreciate it and listen audience.
00:01:39.004 --> 00:01:41.799
I was on Pete's podcast a couple of times.
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.367
He had me on his podcast talk about the legal shield, talk about collaboration, networking, so I appreciate him coming on to my podcast.
00:01:49.367 --> 00:01:53.483
Before I get started, I want to talk about Pete, his bio.
00:01:53.483 --> 00:02:03.992

00:02:25.473 --> 00:02:34.843
So, without further ado, pete, I am so excited that you're on my podcast and I can reciprocate for you being on my podcast.
00:02:35.324 --> 00:02:36.247
That's beautiful.
00:02:36.247 --> 00:02:43.188
And then, if you really want to reciprocate, you'll have me as your chaperone going to Montego Bay.
00:02:43.188 --> 00:02:45.433
Absolutely, I've been there before.
00:02:45.433 --> 00:02:48.123
I know that bay, I know that place.
00:02:48.123 --> 00:02:49.048
You know, it.
00:02:49.048 --> 00:02:49.248
Huh.
00:02:49.248 --> 00:02:54.209
It's not too late to say come on, be our chaperone.
00:02:54.770 --> 00:02:59.106
Okay, okay, we would love to have you on people.
00:02:59.106 --> 00:03:06.409
Yeah, legal Shield's paying for us, so we'll take the free trip, hey look, you got to love because you earn it.
00:03:08.081 --> 00:03:13.270
And not only do you get to go, but when you earn something it's 10 times better.
00:03:13.931 --> 00:03:15.435
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:17.246
Especially when you don't have to pay for it.
00:03:17.741 --> 00:03:19.407
So Pete, tell us a little bit more.
00:03:19.407 --> 00:03:23.610
I know I just read your bio, but tell us a little bit more about yourself before I start asking you questions.
00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:23.891
Yeah.
00:03:23.891 --> 00:03:33.403
So a couple of years ago I had a stroke.
00:03:33.424 --> 00:03:35.688
I was in digital marketing and I think that gave me a stroke.
00:03:35.688 --> 00:03:37.170
Yeah, the stress, the algorithms every week.
00:03:37.192 --> 00:03:39.221
I think, once you figure it out, they change it.
00:03:39.221 --> 00:03:44.890
So I'm thinking for 49 days what do I want to do Now?
00:03:44.890 --> 00:03:46.734
I can't run, I can't play golf.
00:03:46.734 --> 00:03:50.567
I'm thinking I got to come up with something else.
00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:55.902
I've always enjoyed curiosity, learning just talking to people.
00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:59.330
I wasn't an academic scholar by any means.
00:03:59.330 --> 00:04:04.748
I didn't graduate from high school with my class and a couple of failed attempts at college.
00:04:04.748 --> 00:04:12.052
So I realized that if I can't make it in academics, maybe I can make it in the world of relationships.
00:04:12.052 --> 00:04:15.787
So that started way many years ago.
00:04:16.348 --> 00:04:26.762
So when I got out and I'm just trying to practice earning a living again, which was slow my partner said Pete, you love golf, why don't you do golf podcasts?
00:04:26.762 --> 00:04:30.591
And I said man, that'd be good, because I can't play, at least I can talk about it.
00:04:30.591 --> 00:04:35.627
But talking about it and playing something two different things.
00:04:35.627 --> 00:04:56.904
I really was not like feeling it, but I was living in a senior living facility and I was just watching things, learning from people and just being around seniors gave me a different perspective and I saw the kind of the abusive not abuse, but indirectly.
00:04:56.904 --> 00:04:58.348
I've certainly have seen that.
00:04:58.348 --> 00:05:13.091
And then I started podcasting to the senior community and the vendors and the building of the relationships and really helping people tell their story and it was really storytelling.
00:05:13.471 --> 00:05:21.994
That's what I enjoy most about podcasting is really just learning more about Wanda Pearson working, more about our guests.
00:05:21.994 --> 00:05:25.086
I think we geek out on that stuff after we.
00:05:25.086 --> 00:05:30.370
It's almost like a drug, because you're learning every single day.
00:05:30.370 --> 00:05:45.091
Once you feel the learning from everybody, because every single day my belief system is changing, based on my guests, and I always journal the next day, the next morning, what did I learn from the previous day?
00:05:45.091 --> 00:05:47.987
Then I write my vision of where I want to go.
00:05:47.987 --> 00:05:51.310
I'm real clear on it, but I'm learning.
00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:56.769
I'm learning at a rapid rate and that's what excites me about podcasting.
00:05:56.788 --> 00:05:59.286
That's awesome and I appreciate that.
00:05:59.286 --> 00:06:00.088
Exactly what you said.
00:06:00.088 --> 00:06:02.387
When I retired, I said, okay, what am I going to do?
00:06:02.387 --> 00:06:03.961
I didn't want to go back to corporate we.
00:06:03.961 --> 00:06:04.901
When I retired, I said okay what am?
00:06:04.961 --> 00:06:05.223
I going to do.
00:06:05.223 --> 00:06:05.983
I didn't want to go back to corporate.
00:06:05.983 --> 00:06:11.970
We had our business Legal Shield, so I really got into that full steam, but also my social work, which helped me because I'm sociable anyway.
00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:13.992
It helped me to get into what I'm doing.
00:06:13.992 --> 00:06:14.973
But yeah, exactly.
00:06:14.973 --> 00:06:16.694
So I want to ask you this question too.
00:06:16.694 --> 00:06:18.576
So you told us a little bit about yourself.
00:06:18.576 --> 00:06:21.000
How did?
00:06:21.021 --> 00:06:21.682
you get into podcasting.
00:06:21.682 --> 00:06:32.728
So I pushed a button and it was like I know our viewers always remember that first bike ride you crashed, you skinned your knees and what did they say?
00:06:32.728 --> 00:06:33.629
Get back on it.
00:06:33.629 --> 00:06:35.961
So you know what?
00:06:35.961 --> 00:06:38.408
If you don't, you never learn how to ride a bike.
00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:42.845
So the first bunch of episodes I'm hitting the wrong button.
00:06:42.845 --> 00:06:50.872
I'm not asking this person because I'd started off with golf and I'd have foursome and I'd get there and they'd say, hey, joe hasn't talked yet.
00:06:50.872 --> 00:06:53.024
I was like, oh Joe, what about?
00:06:53.024 --> 00:07:18.108
So I was just stumbling forward and just each day I learned and got a little bit better, and so I really got used to failing and I really didn't mind it because and this is just off the subject, but it's pertinent Once you go through, once you stare death in the mirror, you survive.
00:07:18.108 --> 00:07:22.336
You have what they call mortality motivation.
00:07:22.336 --> 00:07:26.666
So I feel I'm playing with the house money.
00:07:26.666 --> 00:07:30.514
I lived, I have a second chance.
00:07:30.514 --> 00:07:35.108
So the normal fears that I had previous I don't have.
00:07:35.108 --> 00:07:41.343
So I really don't care what anybody thinks the right thing, but I don't.
00:07:41.343 --> 00:07:56.446
I'm not fearful of rejection, I'm not fearful of making mistakes, I'm not fearful of the general things that we tend to have fear of which, I think, helped me to stumble through the learning stages.
00:07:58.351 --> 00:07:58.952
And that's great.
00:07:58.952 --> 00:08:02.564
That's great how you put that in there, because I didn't.
00:08:02.564 --> 00:08:10.672
I wasn't planning on doing no podcast, but one of the networking groups that I'm in she said, wanda, you need to start doing podcasts.
00:08:10.672 --> 00:08:11.413
I said podcasts.
00:08:11.413 --> 00:08:14.687
So of course, I asked God, okay, is this something I'm supposed to do?
00:08:14.687 --> 00:08:16.312
And I talk anyway.
00:08:16.312 --> 00:08:19.870
So, like I said, you just stumbled on to doing what you're doing and you learn from your mistakes.
00:08:19.870 --> 00:08:25.771
Learning from your mistakes help you to be better in what you do, and I see you're doing a great job with that.
00:08:25.771 --> 00:08:36.350
So let me ask you something, pete no-transcript like people or things yeah people are the biggest influence in the podcast.
00:08:36.610 --> 00:08:38.327
Yeah, but who's your man doing that in the actual world?
00:08:38.650 --> 00:08:39.634
I listen to.
00:08:39.634 --> 00:08:42.336
I don't have TV, I don't go on social.
00:08:42.336 --> 00:08:45.292
I don't even drink anymore, so I don't.
00:08:45.292 --> 00:08:48.855
I live a pretty boring life, if by standard.
00:08:48.875 --> 00:08:49.477
A healthy life.
00:08:50.129 --> 00:08:51.395
Healthy yeah, very healthy.
00:08:51.395 --> 00:08:53.115
But I listen.
00:08:53.115 --> 00:09:05.378
So I listen when I first get up and then I have my quiet time on my balcony and I do my quiet things like, let me think, patrick Bet-David.
00:09:05.378 --> 00:09:22.234
I like his.
00:09:22.234 --> 00:09:24.297
I like Candace Owens.
00:09:24.297 --> 00:09:25.779
She's a rock star.
00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:27.482
She challenges people.
00:09:27.482 --> 00:09:29.932
I love people that challenge thinking.
00:09:30.392 --> 00:09:40.405
I want somebody to be asking not tough questions but asking questions that really help people to think.
00:09:40.405 --> 00:09:43.615
So I love Joe Rogan.
00:09:43.615 --> 00:09:46.321
He's a little rough at the edges but he's darn good.
00:09:46.321 --> 00:09:49.913
He's the best out there because he's honest.
00:09:49.913 --> 00:09:56.325
And I think when I evaluate a podcast, I want somebody that's honest with me.
00:09:56.325 --> 00:10:06.664
I want somebody that's going to tell me the truth, because we've been jacked up over the years with traditional media that we don't trust them because they manipulate.
00:10:06.664 --> 00:10:09.879
Now I want somebody that's going to give me the truth.
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.038
Let me decide what I believe.
00:10:12.038 --> 00:10:20.736
Just give me the facts, give me the questions, give me the engagement with the people on there so I can determine my thinking.
00:10:20.736 --> 00:10:23.791
There's a number of people I like when the health.
00:10:23.791 --> 00:10:28.520
I've probably got three or four in there In the national scene.
00:10:28.520 --> 00:10:29.562
I have a couple there.
00:10:29.562 --> 00:10:37.883
I'm just always learning through people and I think there's a circle of learning in everything.
00:10:38.464 --> 00:10:40.157
Yeah, and that's actually.
00:10:40.157 --> 00:10:43.856
I was just going to ask you about the challenge, the biggest challenge that you face as a podcaster.
00:10:43.856 --> 00:10:46.677
Is there one challenge that you face?
00:10:47.129 --> 00:10:48.254
Yeah, I think so.
00:10:48.254 --> 00:10:50.500
We all do.
00:10:50.500 --> 00:11:00.284
I tell our viewers this because if I've heard this once, I've heard it at least 500 times.
00:11:00.284 --> 00:11:07.964
When I ask people to be a guest on my podcast, I hear the question how many viewers do you have?
00:11:07.964 --> 00:11:12.241
And so I say, let me ask you a question.
00:11:12.241 --> 00:11:31.480
Ask you a question If I had 10 million viewers and then I had 10 viewers but the 10, five of them became clients of yours and when the million of viewers one became it.
00:11:32.582 --> 00:11:36.153
Which is better, do you like views or do you like results?
00:11:36.153 --> 00:11:55.058
So I do it just the same way you do to collaborate and build relationships, absolutely.
00:11:55.058 --> 00:11:57.461
I have Wanda on my podcast.
00:11:57.461 --> 00:11:58.562
I know Wanda's story.
00:11:58.562 --> 00:12:00.163
I know years.
00:12:00.163 --> 00:12:13.562
If I did it the traditional way, where I run into people at an event or something like that and I got 30 seconds with them, I usually have 25, 30 minutes with a podcast guest.
00:12:13.562 --> 00:12:16.659
I learn a lot in those 25, 30 minutes.
00:12:16.809 --> 00:12:20.618
Oh, you do just by chatting here, and that's a good way of putting it there.
00:12:20.618 --> 00:12:24.923
So how do you engage your audience and build a community around your podcast?
00:12:25.231 --> 00:12:26.610
These are good questions.
00:12:26.610 --> 00:12:29.998
I believe Larry King was always.
00:12:29.998 --> 00:12:31.802
I was always intrigued by him.
00:12:31.802 --> 00:12:50.623
I didn't watch much TV, but I loved his interview, so I took a master class that Larry King did before he passed and I just picked up so much from him and just, I think curiosity creates a good mindset for podcasting.
00:12:50.623 --> 00:13:09.581
If you have a mindset of curiosity, you want to know more about your guests, and so if you're focused entirely, be present, be listening, be asking, like one question leads to another answer leads to another question.
00:13:09.581 --> 00:13:30.654
And I tell you, what I learned from Larry was just be present with your guests and never know where they're going, but follow them in such a way that you can dig a little bit deeper into who the person is, because one the guests want to know about.
00:13:30.654 --> 00:13:31.176
One day.
00:13:31.176 --> 00:13:37.445
Let's just say you're a guest on my podcast and if the guests want to know it, so do I.
00:13:37.445 --> 00:13:43.198
So you're serving your audience and you're serving your appetite for learning.
00:13:44.822 --> 00:13:45.263
Absolutely.
00:13:45.263 --> 00:13:47.495
That was a great answer, so I appreciate that.
00:13:47.495 --> 00:13:51.520
What advice would you give someone who is just starting out in podcasting?
00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:53.355
Another good question.
00:13:53.355 --> 00:13:59.953
I love it If I had to write these questions, which I didn't that's what I would put in there.
00:13:59.953 --> 00:14:05.927
Okay, so the advice is you hear it, just do it.
00:14:05.927 --> 00:14:08.451
But I would say I'd go a little bit further.
00:14:08.451 --> 00:14:19.629
Most people get stuck on the details Got to edit it, I got to do this and they never get to what they want to do.
00:14:20.051 --> 00:14:23.457
The only thing I do is I podcast.
00:14:23.457 --> 00:14:25.201
I don't set it up.
00:14:25.201 --> 00:14:27.203
I have VAs that do certain stuff.
00:14:27.203 --> 00:14:59.484
I want to make sure I'm doing what I do best and I outsource everything else because the more it feeds your heart and it has to feed you, so if it's feeding you, because I'm not a technology whiz, I'm not matter of fact, if I had to write like because I grew up dyslexic and I misspelled about every other word, if I had to do those kind of things that that just zap my energy.
00:15:00.924 --> 00:15:19.038
There's times I've done I think I max, I think, is eight podcasts in one day and I was just ready to do more because it fed me, because all I was doing it was podcast, none of the other stuff, and I see that most people get stuck in.
00:15:19.038 --> 00:15:20.860
Matter of fact, I have a podcast.
00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:28.407
After this I called him because my 1 o'clock had to go to the hospital for a client.
00:15:28.407 --> 00:15:33.063
So I said I called the guy and said, hey, you want to do it early.
00:15:33.063 --> 00:15:33.265
He goes.
00:15:33.265 --> 00:15:39.116
No, I'm doing some editing and I'm saying you know what, you can't outsource your brain.
00:15:39.658 --> 00:15:39.860
Yeah.
00:15:40.791 --> 00:15:45.402
You can outsource other stuff, but it cannot be outsourced.
00:15:45.402 --> 00:15:49.673
You need yourself in everything, Everything else.
00:15:49.673 --> 00:15:53.210
Look to have somebody else that's more gifted in that area.
00:15:53.431 --> 00:15:54.735
Absolutely, because that's what I do.
00:15:54.735 --> 00:15:56.100
I let somebody the experts do the editing.
00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.125
Absolutely Because that's what I do.
00:15:56.125 --> 00:15:58.818
That's somebody that the experts do the editing.
00:15:58.818 --> 00:15:59.601
I just podcast.
00:15:59.601 --> 00:16:02.572
So we're running out down here because I want to ask you about your business.
00:16:02.572 --> 00:16:07.994
So how has collaborating with other podcasters or creators influenced your podcast?
00:16:07.994 --> 00:16:09.256
What we're doing now, right?
00:16:09.256 --> 00:16:09.297
I?
00:16:09.977 --> 00:16:13.774
love it because I get to flip the script.
00:16:13.774 --> 00:16:17.863
I'm always in your position asking the questions.
00:16:17.863 --> 00:16:24.182
Now I'm having to think about the answers and get the questions asked to me.
00:16:24.182 --> 00:16:27.639
So I think it's a circle of learning.
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:36.006
So, if you are a good podcaster, be a guest on others, because you learn so much from the questions that are asked answers that you have to come up with.
00:16:36.006 --> 00:16:36.341
Yeah, from the questions that are asked.
00:16:36.341 --> 00:16:38.495
Yeah, answers that you have to come up with.
00:16:38.855 --> 00:16:41.282
Yeah, yeah and that's great, that's great.
00:16:41.282 --> 00:16:45.181
So what are your future plans or goals for your podcast?
00:16:45.671 --> 00:16:46.072
What is the?
00:16:46.111 --> 00:16:47.115
name of your podcast.
00:16:47.115 --> 00:16:48.360
What's the name of your podcast?
00:16:49.152 --> 00:16:49.855
I know about it.
00:16:49.855 --> 00:16:51.355
You know what?
00:16:51.830 --> 00:17:03.220
I don't have a name, but I have a signature podcast called the Echo Effect and that's really on instant gratification and I want people to understand.
00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:05.857
Have you heard the bamboo story?
00:17:05.857 --> 00:17:10.920
Okay, let me explain, let me share it with your viewers.
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:20.862
Okay, bamboo will grow 10 years before it'll break ground, but when it does break ground, you can grow up to three feet a day.
00:17:20.862 --> 00:17:32.236
So let's just say you're doing something and it's only grown to nine feet nine years and it hasn't broken ground yet, and you quit.
00:17:32.913 --> 00:17:37.028
Mm-hmm you lose out on three feet a day.
00:17:37.028 --> 00:17:42.893
If you can delay your gratification in anything, you do anything.
00:17:42.893 --> 00:17:44.646
It's called the echo effect.
00:17:44.646 --> 00:17:46.324
What did you do today?
00:17:46.324 --> 00:17:47.970
Echoes later.
00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:52.632
But you have to understand you can't get results day one.
00:17:52.632 --> 00:18:16.627
So when you start out podcasting you're building the foundation Once it breaks ground and it does, because I look at maybe 250, 300 podcasts later my business is growing so fast I can't keep up and I've aired out a lot of people anticipating it.
00:18:16.627 --> 00:18:22.545
But when it grows three feet a day you can't anticipate nothing because it's growing so fast.
00:18:23.086 --> 00:18:24.830
Absolutely, absolutely, and I love it.
00:18:24.830 --> 00:18:28.851
Yeah, and that makes sense, because I don't look at, okay, how many people looked at my podcast today?
00:18:28.851 --> 00:18:31.365
I don't look at that, I just keep doing what I'm doing.
00:18:31.365 --> 00:18:33.511
And like you said the bamboo is.
00:18:33.511 --> 00:18:37.047
I know people see who you are.
00:18:37.047 --> 00:18:38.169
They see what you're doing here.
00:18:38.169 --> 00:18:47.525
So last question and I want to get into your business real quick because I'm running out of time so are there any upcoming projects or collaborations you're excited about?
00:18:48.287 --> 00:18:48.567
Yes.
00:18:48.567 --> 00:18:53.762
So I've had coaching from a coach, started in Dallas, texas.
00:18:53.762 --> 00:19:07.868
He was a high performance coach and I was finishing the 12 weeks and he said, yes, a series of questions, and I basically said, look, I'm very disciplined, I actually have three days in one.
00:19:07.868 --> 00:19:17.128
It's a kind of a geeky thing, but anyway, I said, but after working with you, I could have gotten a six, but working with you I got a nine, 10.
00:19:17.128 --> 00:19:40.299
And so after that I of course signed up again and I went and got certified because I felt my community could use high performance coaching, because we're part of a high performance community and I didn't realize until I actually went through it, the advantages to high performance.
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.711
So what I'm excited about we're establishing one, one on one.
00:19:45.711 --> 00:19:50.692
There's only so much time we have, so but that's what's scalable is group coaching.
00:19:50.692 --> 00:20:08.531
So if a person has a niche and there we know Monica, so she's as my social media starting like this week so if she invites people to be in her group coaching, she invites people to be in a pod.
00:20:08.531 --> 00:20:14.868
That's going to turn into a mastermind, because we don't want to do it by ourselves.
00:20:14.868 --> 00:20:17.713
Collaboration is everything.
00:20:17.713 --> 00:20:23.782
So if you build up chemistry and you collaborate with people in a similar interest.
00:20:23.782 --> 00:20:31.194
You're able to rise 100%, 1000% faster in whatever you do.
00:20:31.194 --> 00:20:44.765
So I'm excited about scaling group coaching and making it niched to the point we can administer masterminds with those eyes or those group of people.
00:20:45.707 --> 00:20:48.252
Absolutely, peter, and that's the name of my podcast.
00:20:48.252 --> 00:20:49.502
That's why I name it Ready Set.
00:20:49.502 --> 00:20:53.098
Collaborate yes, because collaboration is a key to success.
00:20:53.098 --> 00:20:55.604
Working with each other and helping each other.
00:20:55.604 --> 00:20:57.708
We all have different niches.
00:20:57.708 --> 00:21:02.467
We all have different ways of doing things and helping each other to grow.
