Mastering the Podcaster Mindset
Harnessing Power of Networking & Community as a Podcaster with guest Chris Krimitsos, founder of Podfest Expo
We are passionate about the power of a strong, engaged community. We are also passionate about harnessing the power of networking to grow your audience, grow your craft, and grow your knowledge. This week's guest is Chris Krimitsos, founder of Podfest Expo.
Podfest Expo is the world's largest podcast conference- they even hold the Guinness Book of World Records for 2 years in a row!!! Today we talk to Chris about how Podfest Expo started as a grassroots event and grew to the "must-attend" event it is today.
Our Takeaways:
- Podfest started organically to help the people he got started.
- Don’t close doors ahead of time- take the meeting and decide after.
- Listen to the community and design what they want. Give ownership to the community. Community comes first.
- Chris' advice to new podcasters comes from his book called “Start Ugly”. Start ugly and learn along the process- 1)get rid of failure concept- trial & error. Get an education about podcasting. 2)Biggest podcasters are not on their first concept- they pivot and grow. 3)Look at 10 downloads- how can I love on these individuals, nurture community and grow to 15.
- It is crucial that podcasters meet one & other. 1) connect with peers 2) see what is going on across the industry 3) trade shows to see what is happening across the industry.
