These are the folks that are actually making things happen within their companies And thats really what appealed to me there So we hopefully will see some different faces that are involved with this particular podcast here
The Process of Developing a Show
This part of the conversation delves into the process of developing a show Tristan and Justin discuss the spectrum of options when it comes to branding a show from naming it after the company to creating a standalone brand
Typically when we develop a show when were working with a client we have like the spectrum of options that we typically put in front of them You know one option is you name the show right after your company name and its very much on the nose and that shares all the brand elements of the company
The Value of Being Direct
In this segment Tristan and Justin discuss the value of being direct in asking questions and uncovering how people are doing the real work They emphasize the importance of being consistent in this approach to generate good content with each episode
My only feedback is to just continue being direct which is where the name of the show came from Like Corrina and Taylor just very direct in kind of how they ask questions or how they communicate with each other
