It's not a Tech Takeover! We Promise We know sometimes we can be 10 steps ahead on tech integration, but today we want to back it up just a bit and think about the basics. We hear the question all the time, "If making phone calls to convert is working, why would we try to convert over text?". As Vic talks about in our most recent podcasts, we aren't interested in changing your process on that group that answers the phone 😉 Why touch something that's working? We want to tackle that audience that isn't responding, hasn't been successfully rehashed, is an old lead, or comes from a lead source you're not succeeding with. Take a look at some of our shorts (and please subscribe!) to see if the plan we're pitching would work for you! https://lnkd.in/g9HWcCYP

Better podcaster tip #1 Want to start a podcast? Here’s the priority list for podcasting equipment: 1. Microphone - This is the only essential item to get started. I use a RØDE Podmic, but if you’re using your laptop to record, get the Podmic USB. 2. Camera - If you want to video your podcasts, i’d seriously suggest starting with an iPhone if you’re not tech savvy. If you are savvy, Sony EV-1 is compact and epic. 3. Lighting - This comes before a camera if your lighting sucks where you’re recording. If you have a window with natural light, sit next to this. Then upgrade to artificial lighting. NEEWER do awesome, slim panel lights.

You don’t need fancy gear to get started! If you’re just starting out, a simple setup can still deliver solid quality. You can even grab a wireless lapel mic for around $130 that clips right onto your shirt and plugs into your phone—no audio syncing required! If you’re thinking about starting a podcast but feel overwhelmed by the tech, it’s simpler than you think. What’s holding you back?

What do you do when you need a tool to help affirm client expectations around a new problem due to third party changes? Start a dev initiative in the Support department! Last night I whipped up a React app that parses RSS feeds based on the syntax requirements of Apple Podcasts. Why not use a widely available feed validator online? Because parsing RSS can have wildly different results and expectations —most were too strict and would lead to client confusion. In just a few hours and a dozen iterations; I built a competent RSS feed validator to Apple Podcast spec! https://lnkd.in/g47xH_3K #buildinpublic
