I had a blast moderating our “Pod-Preneur” panel for last week’s Jersey City Tech Meetup event! A big thanks to AndCo<\/a> for hosting our panel for one of my favorite meetups yet. We brought together an eclectic mix of local podcasters and audio experts to cover the tech behind the mic of podcasting, how to start your own podcast as a budding entrepreneur, the future of the industry and more. It was a super insightful night for myself and the engaged audience who certainly added to the excitement with their thoughtful questions.<\/p>\n

Once again, none of this would be possible without our incredible community, contributing speakers and venues who host these events every month. Our panelists included Corey McLemore (Cambridge)<\/strong> of the Silent Giants<\/a> podcast, Brian Weber<\/strong> of the Lit Up Podcast<\/a>, Justyn Cruz<\/strong> of Cruz CTRL Music<\/a>, J<\/strong>ulia Porpora<\/strong> of the Neighborhood Jules<\/a> podcast, Keith McPherson<\/strong> of the George’s Box<\/a> podcast, and Shannon Ambrosio<\/strong> of the Everything N’ Nothin<\/a> podcast and former host of the Cooking Channel’s Big Bad BBQ Brawl. A HUGE thank you to all these speakers for making big things happening in the community and for taking the time to share their wisdom with us.\"\"<\/p>\n

My 3 key takeaway from the night: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you want to start your own podcast, don\u2019t attempt to imitate what\u2019s already out there. The world already has a George\u2019s Box podcast, Neighborhood Jules podcast, etc. You must find your own voice and brand, and make something that the podcast world is lacking! <\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t worry about fancy equipment when getting started. Get the ball rolling with whatever equipment you have (even if that\u2019s Voice Notes on your phone) and fine tune your process\/technology as you progress with your podcast. You will learn as you get a few podcasts under your belt, so don\u2019t worry about making it perfect before you launch.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Only bring on guests that you feel a genuine vibe and flow with. Avoid guests who are too “pitch-y” for their product. Instead, look for a real authentic conversation and the rest will fall into place.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thanks again to our Jersey City Tech community for continuing to come out and support every single month. We couldn\u2019t do this without you!<\/p>\n
