The hardest part of starting a podcast is… starting a podcast. There are a hundred little things to think through before recording your first episode. But once you know what you want to do, and why, things will start to fall into place.
This is why clients like Donna hire me. To guide them through what needs to be done or to do it for them.
If you’re thinking about starting a podcast and not sure what to do first, give me a call.
As many of you know, I don’t only produce other people’s podcasts, I also work as a consultant for those who want to do a podcast themselves, and just need some advice and guidance.
Rick Gabrielly and his partners wanted to start a podcast a few months ago and hired me to help get them going in the right direction. “The Road Ahead Café Podcast” is now about to hit its 20th episode and the guys are having the times of their lives.
Rick gave me a great testimonial that I couldn’t wait to share. He, Frank, and Peter are a joy to work with. Check out their podcast here – https://the-road-ahead-cafe.castos.com/
“At the beginning, I was very apprehensive and nervous about the whole process, but Merrill made me feel very much at ease made me feel very confident of what I was doing.”
It’s Testimonial Tuesday! Thank you so much to my client Leo Fernandez* for his thumbs up.
Not everyone is comfortable talking into a microphone. That’s why, if you’re nervous about doing a podcast, you need a good producer. I work with my clients to help find the words that tell their story, coach them through the process, then if needed, edit the hell out the results in post-production.
If you ever want to do a podcast but were too apprehensive to try, reach out to me. It’s my job to make you sound calm, professional, and all-around fantastic.
“We continue to use that podcast through our different online channels for interest inquiries and education as well as a good tool for business networking.”
It’s Testimonial Tuesday! Thank you so much to my client Ginny Hull Hartline* for her kind words.

“So that little podcast really, really had a long effect!”
It’s Testimonial Tuesday! Thank you so much to my client Tom Nohs for his kudos.
Tom’s podcast episode on NY DFS cybersecurity regulations was an immediate lead generator. Within 24 hours of the podcast going live, he had a call that generated a meeting that generated a six-figure contract. That was two years ago, and he’s still getting calls!
If you’ve been wondering if a podcast would be a good marketing tool for generating leads for your business, reach out to me. I can coach you through creating your own, or you can just show up and talk and I’ll do all the work.

Thank you so much to Howie Mann for telling me how useful his podcast episode is when he’s setting up networking meetings.
So how can I not share his podcast episode again. If you’re looking for a commercial loan, and the banks say “no”, call Howie for a yes.
