¶ Experimenting with Content Direction
If you know me , you know I love experimenting with my content and experimenting is what I've done lately , especially on social media , you may have noticed I've been experimenting more in the realm of changing up the topics I talk about with AI , current events , tech , things like that .
Before I would talk about content creation , most people kind of know me for podcasting on like how to podcast and educational type content around podcasting , which is largely what I've been publishing for the past few years and I published a lot
¶ Reflecting on Content Creation History
of content .
It's hard for me to even wrap my head around it , but I've probably published 1200 plus unique short form videos around that topic content content creation , podcasting , things like that and we're like 260 episodes deep or something of this podcast and I've probably published one and a half times that for newsletters , cause at one point I was doing twice weekly email
newsletters around that topic of content creation and podcasting and then I shifted to once a week , which it's funny how like chill that felt with just going from twice to once and I was like , how did I ever do twice a week ? That's a lot . And within my newsletter I've experimented a lot
¶ Pivoting to AI and Tech Topics
.
Within this podcast I've experimented a lot and I think that I'm at the next evolution of my content , which is less around the topics of content creation podcasting , things like that and more leaning into kind of what's going on with AI , tech , current events around that stuff , things that I come across that I think people should be informed about not necessarily my
opinion on them , more posing questions around them or just informing people around what's going on . And that's a bit of a pivot , at least in my mind , and so what I'm doing is just kind of cleaning up where I distribute content so that
¶ Taking a Pause to Reassess
people are aware .
Now I don't really clean that up on social media because social media is so fast moving , but this podcast , I mean we spend time every week , even if it's just for a few minutes , and so I really respect your time , whether it's email or this podcast or anywhere we cross paths , and so I just wanted to say that thank you one for listening . It means a lot .
It's the reason why I do this . And for two , I'm going to be pivoting up my newsletter , which you may have already read about . I just don't know how I'm going to be pivoting up my newsletter , which you may have already read about .
I just don't know how I'm going to pivot up or change up the content within this podcast and I don't know if I'll be doing a completely new podcast .
I'll make sure to update the show notes for one , where you can opt in to get the new weekly email newsletter and two , latest information about this podcast , because I'm just going to pause for a second to make sure I can deliver information in a way that's actually wanted through a podcast , versus just forcing it , because it's something that I've always done .
If I had to like wrap this around and a lesson that could also benefit you is , it's just something that I've found to be both incredibly scary but necessary for growth in my life is testing the way I've been doing things and seeing if there's a way that works better and there's always a way you could do probably something better , right , but when it comes to
like large chunks of time and commitments that we make consciously or unconsciously , it's like one of the oldest
¶ Future Plans and Staying Connected
things around . Productivity is like when you're auditing or watching someone do something . They're like why do you do it that way and they go . Well , that's the way I've always done it and I think it's easy to get in these patterns in our environment , where we do something and just becomes . That's the way I've always done it .
I don't want to fall into that with my content that I'm publishing for you , because I put a lot of intention behind what I do and I want it to be worth your time .
So I'm taking a pause on this podcast and changing things up because I going make sure to check the episode description here for a link to the new newsletter If you're not already signed up for it .
Keep an eye out for if I got a new podcast coming and hopefully we can stay connected on social media , where I'll still be posting regularly , not really going anywhere , just changing up how I show up on these platforms , and I hope you're having a great summer and we can stay connected .
