Last week, we touched on what to expect this season. Today, we are diving into the pre-production phase.

Before we can even think about networking to get the guests, there is some homework we have to do. We are going to make it nice and simple for you.

We have the pre-production, the production, and post-production phases. All three of these are equally as important, but they cannot even start unless we take care of this first one here.

This week, we set the table! We discuss:

• Podcast goals
• Listener persona + target listeners, and then the big four:
• Podcast Why
• Value
• Look, and
• Format.

Enjoy the show.

Next week:
We have our first guest: Trent Clark, three-time world series champion and host of the top 5 % global podcast, Winners Find A Way.

Host Vincent A. Lanci met him at Podfest in 2020, investing in themselves to become better podcasters. They were at the same table during a speed networking game on the event's last day and have become friends ever since.

Show Theme: The value hosts get from their guests.
