“I am launching a podcast for a reason. It is not just fun,” said Mike Wolber, the CRO at Rent Dynamics and the host of the Modern Multifamily podcast. He started creating podcast episodes alongside his other work duties because he wanted to hear about exciting trends from people in the multifamily industry and share it with listeners. So, what is the hardest part about creating a podcast? For Mike, it was the fear of what other people would think and whether he could find the guests for his show. But he soon realized that good preparation and adopting a custom “conversation funnel” would serve as secret weapons to beat his very own imposter syndrome. The art of podcasting is a never-ending journey. According to Mike, every episode presents an opportunity to learn something new and get innovative ideas from the guests. “Even if a single failure felt bad, it was a good learning opportunity,” concludes Mike.

Podcasting is all about making connections. It’s a great way to take your customer relationships to another level and have genuine, meaningful conversations with other experts in the industry. “The depth of the relationship you’re creating with a podcast listener is so much greater than what you’re getting from somebody who’s watching your TikTok videos or multiple YouTube videos. All of the podcast listeners, they’re just way more connected to you,” says Alban Brooke, the Head of Marketing at Buzzsprout. And that’s why Buzzsprout produces not only one, but three podcasts: 1) Buzzcast, 2) Podcasting Q&A and 3) How to start a podcast. In this episode of Recorded Content, our host Tristan Pelligrino gets a deeper understanding of how Buzzsprout uses different types of podcasts to build trust along the customer journey. The two also discuss how podcasts differ from other marketing channels and pinpoint the right time to invest in a podcast at your own organization.
