Episode\xa043: What I've Learned From Podcasting

Hello again! I have been on a slight hiatus because I\u2019ve been reflecting on 2015 and am looking at what I want for 2016. What I\u2019ve found is that I want ShoeFitts, my marketing firm, to work with the right people and on the right projects. That means turning my business into a small batch, artisan marketing firm that does highly crafted work for my clients. Regarding Women Rocking Wall Street, I\u2019ve been wondering how I can continue to give you high quality, relevant content that can provoke thoughts and motivate. So, in February and March, you\u2019ll see several episodes where I\u2019ll be the one interviewed. My goal for Women Rocking Wall Street is to have meaningful conversations with guests as well as you.

Having released podcast episodes for the past year, I\u2019ve overcome the fear of the microphone, have had great conversations with amazing and talented guests, and I\u2019ve run into challenges along the way. Kristin Mountain, co-founder of Podcast SMARTER wanted to pick my brain on what the last year has been like and what I\u2019ve learned.

After identifying the vision for my podcast, even though I do a lot of public speaking, I found that I was initially intimidated by the microphone. Other challenges that I\u2019ve found is consistency and finding the guests that I feel will spark that valuable conversation. While I\u2019ve had challenges, I\u2019ve also had a lot of successes. I\u2019ve reflected on some of my favorite episodes, which include:\xa0Finding Your Inner Rockstar,\xa0Toughing it Out,\xa0Ski Like a Girl,\xa0The Evolution of Women in Finance, and the list goes on. Having a great team has helped keep Women Rocking Wall Street going.

If you\u2019re thinking of starting a podcast, my best advice is to sit at your computer, turn on the microphone and hit record. Also, offer yourself up to other podcasts. If you want to be on the Women Rocking Wall Street,\xa0email me\xa0with your idea.
