Welcome back to the tech talks daily podcast. Now we're approaching the end of 2021. And many people out there are starting to think about their goals for 2022. And podcasts may play a big part in that whoever you are. So today, we're going to be discussing three big questions in the world of podcasting. And hopefully, we can help you or your business on your journey next year. And those three questions are, how do I launch a podcast without the hassle of editing audio files? And thinking about submitting it to all those podcasting platforms? And to? How do I get guests onto my new podcast or five episodes? I've had guests of people I know, where can I go to get high quality guests onto my podcast. And then also, if you're a business leader thinking, I want to get on 20 podcast in 2022, and position myself as a thought leader. We're also going to talk about how to do that with Ryan STS, from a company called kit caster. So to begin with, as many of you know, I do help people and businesses launch their own podcast. And in a nutshell, they record a zoom or teams call, and I edit the audio files and add intro music etc. Take a few ohms and ours out and take care of submitting to Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, Spotify, Apple Music, and I think there's 30 Plus podcasting platforms there. So I take all that hassle away. And anyone that wants to launch her own podcast, maybe they're happy doing it on their own, you're going to need a podcast host. And I always work very closely with a company called Lipson, who are one of the oldest and most established podcast hosts out there. There are many alternatives, how many of them are going to be here in five to 10 years, that is a big debate. So that's one of the reasons I work with Lipson. And they've given me a promo code, which is T B. W stands for tech blog writer. So T V w, that will enable anyone to receive the rest of the current month and the entire next month for free. But just like the Gremlins movie, there are three simple rules to ensure that you secure the most value from that code. And essentially, the promo code only works for your first show. So if you already have a podcast on Libsyn, and the code won't work to get the maximum value at the code on the second of the month, because that will ensure that you get the entire of that month for free. And the following month too. So for example, if you applied it on the second of December, you get all of December free all of January free, you'd have to pay a thing till until February the first. And I think it's much safer doing it on the second of the month due to any potential confusion with timezone. So do it that way. One other bit of advice there, choose your data package wisely. If you need any help on that pop me a quick email. But if you change your account level, any time during your free trial, it will instantly kick the account into payment mode. So don't sign up for the $5 a month package, and then change it to $15 after a couple of weeks because, again, you miss out. So that's creating a podcast sorted with or without my help. But what if you want to be a guest on a podcast? How do you put yourself out there? What equipment do you need and reach that goal of appearing on? I don't know 10 or 20 podcast in 2022, which is great for SEO against your name, business. And alternatively, what if you've launched your podcast successfully, and you're looking for guests? These are just a few things we're going to be talking about today because I've invited Ryan esters from Kitt caster who's going to share his insights around how to leverage podcast interviews to generate leads, validate new products and create new opportunities. How Podcasts can be utilized in modern public relations efforts. create brand awareness through personal connections, and so much more. We've got a lot to get through as a man after my own heart a great guys too. So buckle up and hold on tight as I beam your ears all the way to Denver, Colorado, where Ryan is waiting to share his story and insights with us today. So a massive warm welcome to the show. Ryan, can you tell the listeners a little about who you are and what you do?
