Getcha Some Productions Podcast Episode 10

https://reverb.grsm.io/GetchaSome

A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between.

Not your typical “how-to” podcast: For a new listeners, each episode is a live business meeting. We are figuring out how to build a music production company as we go and listeners can come along for the ride.

Every podcast is a business meeting, every business meeting is a podcast. This podcast is (always) candid.

In this episode we discuss:

We talk about the whether it’s appropriate to eat carrots on the podcast or not.

We’re making it a point to celebrate the little wins and we are celebrating the fact that this is our 10th episode. We actually made it to the big one zero.

Let this be a lesson to you, Mr. and Mrs. DIY Musician, you have to celebrate the little wins.

We need to do a mission gut-check to make sure that we’re on track and they were pursuing something that is worthwhile.

So, we actually spent some time trying to craft a draft a mission statement.

As always we’re opening the kimono. We’re showing our entire process to the world so you’re getting to see us trying to figure out what our mission statement actually is…in real time. Live. With no net. And no edits.

We start going over the components of what our mission for the podcast is. And broadly, there are four parts (sort of):

  1. We’re bringing relevant/useful/important/Inspiring information to the DIY Musician.
  2. Education. Education is a big part of our mission, however, an essential part of our podcast is that we are learning as you are learning so we’re on the ground level with you. So, it’s not as if we are bestowing down upon our listeners this information but rather that we are on the ground floor and sharing our experience as we learn.
  3. Entertainment. We tossed around the idea of maybe telling a music related joke on each podcast which is pretty stupid idea. Either way, we need to be, in some way, entertaining.
  4. Accessibility and relatability. It’s important to note that one of the main ways that we foster a connection with our listeners and within our tribe is that we are in the weeds with you taking care of the nitty-gritty. Once again, ee are on the ground floor learning and doing and sharing our experience as we go.

Dan highlights the idea that feeling connected with others as being the one item that really jumped out for him and struck him as most important. I think I agree with him.

Dan actually has a very poignant and deep point when he says that connection to others, connection to ourselves and connection to our creative energy is very important. That’s something that I tend to lose sight of cell I think it might be important for us to revisit that on each episode or before each episode. We’re trying to foster connection here. Whether that’s connections to each other or connection to your self connection to your creative energy. It’s really important.

So, bullet 4 should be amended to say fostering connection to ourselves, to others and to our creative energy through the sharing of our experience.

Music does not happen in a vacuum. It functions better in a connected world.

Genius quote of the Day: humans are connected people.

We talk about the ideal listener/client avatar again.

Customer/Client/Listener/Viewer Avatar

A possible ideal customer/client/listener/viewer of our podcast is an independent, DIY musician. Our ideal independent DIY musician is determined, curious, motivated, conscientious, thoughtful, creative, intelligent, community oriented, cooperative, organized, generous, passionate, etc.
