The Podcast Lab – Jenna Kutcher
ARE YOU READY?
It’s time to get your voice out into the world and I’ll help ya!
Are you ready to create your own podcast? Host your own show? And share your voice, your knowledge, your witty candor, or your expertise with the world?
Yeah, podcasting absolutely changed my world and now I’m giving you all the tools so that you can start your own podcast and change yours, too!
Take It From Me…
I was in the shower with my iPhone balanced in a cup to try and amplify the sound. I was listening to a podcast — yes, while taking a shower — and I realized that I felt like I knew the host.
It hit me: podcasting gives you the ability to extend yourself in a way that isn’t possible with just photos and captions and 15 second snippets into your life.
I dried off my arm, snagged my phone from the cup, and voice texted my assistant.
I said, “You’re going to think I’m crazy, but… I think I’m going to start a podcast.”
And it’s one of my absolute *favorite* creative endeavors of my life.
Now, here I am, a podcast pro, because turns out — I LOVE podcasting. Who saw THAT coming?!
Before you picture a recording studio or a production team, I feel like I have to tell you this: I still record my podcast in a closet — and this isn’t a fancy closet with soundproofing, it’s a closet filled with boxes from our college days, puffy coats and keepsakes.
I host a top-rated podcast from my sweet little closet (that kinda needs some Marie Kondo love!)
Podcasting has changed my life, my business, my income, and my ability to impact the world… and there were a million reasons why I wasn’t ready or why it wouldn’t work! But it did.
And now I get to teach you the exact way I planned, started, recorded, launched, and grew my podcast in 30 days flat.
