Set Collaborate podcast on a journey towards achieving your goals with host Wanda Pearson.
00:00:52.981 --> 00:00:53.343
Welcome.
00:00:53.343 --> 00:00:57.115
Welcome to the Ready Set Collaborate podcast with Wanda Pearson.
00:00:57.115 --> 00:01:03.296
I am so excited to actually introduce my new series on the art of being a podcaster.
00:01:03.296 --> 00:01:10.414
I'm going to have some great guests which are senior podcasters and them to give us some tips on how they started podcasting.
00:01:10.414 --> 00:01:15.230
But let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I started, the reason why I started podcasting.
00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:21.281
Actually, one of my groups that I was in, v-rock, adeline Dryden, said Wanda, I want you to get into podcasting.
00:01:21.281 --> 00:01:23.626
I was like, why should I get into podcasting?
00:01:23.626 --> 00:01:27.334
But she knew I liked to talk and I liked to collaborate.
00:01:27.334 --> 00:01:30.750
So this is one of the different things that I started getting into.
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:39.299
I considered doing that because I wanted to interview guests on different topics and it actually inspired me to be able to start this podcast.
00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:45.980
I had to think of a name and I always like to collaborate, so I came up with Ready Set Collaborate with Wanda Pearson.
00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:48.284
Thanks to my marketing manager, diane Freeman.
00:01:48.786 --> 00:01:53.093
The biggest benefit that I saw from this is actually teaching other people, educating them.
00:01:53.093 --> 00:02:04.876
I'm always about educating, empowering people to let them know the different things that's going on in this world, but also to get some tips and education on other people's feedback and education on other people's feedback.
00:02:04.876 --> 00:02:10.769
My podcast with the art of being a podcaster is gonna be from senior podcasters who I've been on their show, on some of their shows.
00:02:10.769 --> 00:02:15.788
This is gonna be a great way of saying I know a lot of people say how do I start a podcast?
00:02:15.788 --> 00:02:17.467
What do I need to do to be a podcaster?
00:02:17.467 --> 00:02:23.151
This will help you to be able to listen to some of my guests to tell you how to be on a podcast.
00:02:23.151 --> 00:02:29.709
But the main thing and focus on my podcast was to be able to collaborate with other podcasts.
00:02:29.709 --> 00:02:34.145
No matter how much you are educated, it's always good to get education.
00:02:34.145 --> 00:02:47.842
I've always been that way as far as educate myself even more and I'm just so happy to have these professional podcasters to be on the Ready Set Collaborate podcast, creating the process of creating that episode from start to finish.
00:02:47.842 --> 00:02:48.443
It was actually.
00:02:48.443 --> 00:02:51.250
It was like a learning experience.
00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:53.382
I actually did it on Spotify.
00:02:54.062 --> 00:02:54.905
And how do I do this?
00:02:54.905 --> 00:02:58.832
How do I get the music to intertwine with my podcast?
00:02:58.832 --> 00:03:00.282
How do I get the intro and outro?
00:03:00.282 --> 00:03:09.012
And I'm so happy that my podcast who actually my friend, who actually helped me to do the intro and outro and then create the music for me, who is Dr Stacy Moore.
00:03:09.012 --> 00:03:17.014
She created that for me to be able to bring in that along with my interviews that I have here.
00:03:17.014 --> 00:03:18.262
So I'm happy to have that.
00:03:18.262 --> 00:03:31.842
And it's actually you got to do a lot of research, get some tips from my guests that's going to be coming on about how they started their podcast and how they got through the process of creating this podcast from start to finish.
00:03:32.263 --> 00:03:44.402
I started it, created it, and then I went to Fiverr so Fiverr was able to intertwine my intro and outro and the music that Dr Stacey Moore had created for me to make ita finished product.
00:03:44.402 --> 00:03:46.008
So it's not as easy as you think.
00:03:46.008 --> 00:03:53.288
I wanted to make sure it was professional and I actually went to my editor, who was actually Marion Bailey.
00:03:53.288 --> 00:03:56.806
So I met her on a networking event and she became my editor.
00:03:56.806 --> 00:04:07.002
So these are some of the and it's a teamwork, collaboration type of thing that you really have to be able to know how to start it to make sure that it lasts.
00:04:07.582 --> 00:04:14.347
I went on some classes and one of the guys asked me do you want it to be weekly, monthly or daily?
00:04:14.347 --> 00:04:17.115
And I decided to do it weekly.
00:04:17.115 --> 00:04:22.346
On every Wednesday I have a podcast that comes out with different series that I have.
00:04:22.346 --> 00:04:31.077
This series is the Art of the Podcaster me learning from other podcasters.
00:04:31.077 --> 00:04:34.672
This is helping me to grow and to be better in what I'm doing every day.
00:04:34.672 --> 00:04:35.716
Let me tell you how I started.
00:04:35.716 --> 00:04:36.882
I actually did a spreadsheet.
00:04:36.882 --> 00:04:46.036
I did a spreadsheet and talked with one of my girlfriends, sharon Hare, who helped me to come up with some of the topics that I wanted to discuss creating this podcast.
00:04:46.036 --> 00:04:53.059
I had the different series and the different topics I wanted to talk about and then I would invite my guests.
00:04:53.059 --> 00:04:56.312
Who was a professional in that type of environment?
00:04:56.312 --> 00:05:00.870
This is what actually started it, because I wanted to be professional in doing this here.
00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:10.940
The most memorable moments of my podcast was to do my first one and I had no idea what I was doing here to talk about why I created Ready Set.
00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:30.543
Collaborate with Wanda Pearson I've always been about, and my first actually series was about networking and collaboration how I started networking, how the people in my life helped me to expand our business, which is Legal Shield, and WD Pearson Associates that's my brand, which is where my podcast is on to be able to share my journey.
00:05:30.543 --> 00:05:36.175
That journey has actually been just taking me through these different journeys that I had no idea, that I said I would never do.
00:05:36.175 --> 00:05:39.141
Never say never, because God has plans for you.
00:05:39.141 --> 00:05:53.278
This has actually been a memorable moment for me to really just get out and do it and I'm going to tell you, november will be my one-year anniversary and I'm going to be celebrating that with different episodes of my one-year anniversary of being a podcaster.
00:05:53.278 --> 00:05:57.754
The way you actually get out there is I do a lot of networking.
00:05:57.754 --> 00:06:05.062
They call me the networking queen, and when someone's talking to me and we're talking about different things, I say I want you to be on my podcast.
00:06:05.062 --> 00:06:10.182
So, whatever the topic is, I think it's a good way to share with the world of what they're talking about here.
00:06:10.281 --> 00:06:20.999
I definitely want to make sure that you listen to this series, the Ready Set, collaborate with Wanda Pearson, and the title is the Art of being a Podcaster.
