Teaser: What Went Wrong?

Dave’s recent podcast chat about the state of digital marketing went well—mostly. He’s even getting a teaser clip next week! However, there was one detail that left a little something to be desired. Dave challenges you, the viewer, to figure out what that one missed detail was! He drops a major hint in the final tip, but you’ll have to watch to catch it and post your guess in the comments!

Your Podcast Guest Prep Checklist Starts Here

In the video, Dave admits these tips are simple reminders, but they are crucial for a better outcome, especially when you’re moving fast. He dives into critical areas like:

• Protecting Your Brand: Why you shouldn’t accept every podcast offer.

• Usage Rights: Discussing distribution, promotion, and file rights before you agree.

• Preparation over Spontaneity: The value of asking for questions upfront.

• The Video Reality: Why you should never assume it’s “audio only”—and how to be prepared with your background. (Speaking of backgrounds, Dave shot this video with the impressive wind farm at Bear Creek in Wilkes-Barre, PA, as his backdrop. Great hiking and camping, too!)
