One of the best ways to consume content nowadays is through podcasts. Not only does it save time, but it also helps you grasp ideas easier since you hear the emotions in the conversations. 

In this collaborative episode, Catherine is joined by the Keep It Real with Khadija Podcast host, who is none other than Khadija, to talk about the world of podcasting – from pre-planning to producing to publishing. They talk about how to scout guests, how to select the best VA, why people choose podcasts over radio, how to make a business thrive, and many more. There is also some unwritten podcasting etiquettes between podcasters which you might need to know. Then after the insightful discussion, Catherine plays Khadija’s Yes or No game at the end so listen in! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

As podcasters, where do Khadija and Catherine get their awesome guests?   Khadija, for one, used the VIVA Club (link below) to find the most reliable virtual assistant she will work with. Guests are then selected by them, the hosts, for the VA’s to contact them.   For Catherine, it also helps that she connects to most of the guests through social media platforms to get a chance to engage with them and tell them how your podcast can help them show how relevant they are.  Stay in touch with your guests (and other podcasters who also invited the guest). Plan out when the content (i.e. audio/video) will be published and make sure it won’t cross with the launch of his other podcast guesting’s. You don’t want to anger other podcasters while getting the maximum engagement for your episode as much as possible. In addition, your guests might also know someone who can also offer a fresh perspective related to your podcast.  Why do people prefer podcasts over radio nowadays? People love authenticity, the smooth informal flow of conversations. It’s easier to trust people who can be themselves easily.  You can’t too much pressure on yourself in growing your business. For most, the first business they’ve manage was more of a big business course—learning what to do and not to do, correcting mistakes, and so on.

ABOUT THE HOST 

Catherine Turner 

Catherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2! 

Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25. 

In 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property. 

This year, Catherine and her husband Stephen, also her business partner, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants. 

Catherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, to learn the mindset and skillset it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.
