No other medium is as easy to use for content creation or as a teaching and learning tool as podcasts, and this is something that our today's guest has experienced. 

Welcome to the new episode of The Kult Creator Experience. In this episode, we are joined by dad,  mentor, programmer, podcaster, business owner, and content creator, Jamie Taylor. 

Jamie is passionate about teaching, mentoring industry newcomers, and creating Eureka moments. With the goal of sharing his knowledge, he started his blog in 2016. However, writing blog posts with 3000 words and source code was not an effortless task for Jamie. 

On the recommendation of a friend, he started podcasts by initially repurposing all of his blog posts into podcasts. Today, his podcast, The .Net Core podcast, has achieved over 400,000 downloads, with industry peers asking to be part of it, including those from Microsoft. 

Today, he'll discuss the importance of having a clear purpose for podcasts and how to create a welcoming environment for newcomers and those who might not feel comfortable speaking up. He shared an innovative way to share podcast episodes on social media, his process for managing guests and the ethical aspects of having industry experts on the show.

If you're looking for some deep insight into what it takes to build a successful podcast, you will love this episode.

KEY INSIGHTS

• Even though a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, you need to know where that thousand mile is going to be.
• A great guitar won't make you a great guitarist; the same applies to podcasting equipment, cameras, microphones, etc. Slowly iterate towards what you perceive as better equipment over time.
• A leader is someone who wants to boost the skills and up the game of everyone else around them. If I run a company, I have several employees; I want them to outshine me because it's not about me. It's about them.
