Starting a podcast is a lot easier than most people think, but when it comes to creating content, we tend to worry about what we should and shouldn’t share with the audience. Can we start podcasting before we’ve reached a certain level of success? How can we gain credibility with our audiences? Should we be sharing our vulnerabilities? On this episode, Will Grimes and Eli Schmidt, team leaders at Genesis Home Team and co-hosts of the Day One Dollar Zero podcast, share how to create podcast content that resonates with our audiences. 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Document the present. By showing our audience where we are now, we not only make ourselves more relatable; we also allow them to see us grow over time, and create a stronger bond with them.

To gain credibility, we have to stay in our own lanes. In other words, don’t offer advice or opinions on things we have no experience with. 

Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. Audiences tend to seek out people they can relate to, so it’s okay for us to share our flaws in our content.
