I take out any background noise. If the guest goes on too long of a tangent, and I would assume that our listeners would be bored after a few minutes, I kind of shorten what the guest said to kind of get the gist of it.”12:25: Podcasting TermsIn this section, Matt and Jodi define Show Notes and Podcast Distribution Site15:20: Support of working on a team“There's a bigger meaning of working on a team and getting what you want and finding the support and finding the proper support, so that you can get when you can.” 18:35: Working Systems“When you see the human side of the people you work with, that really just helps with the job” 25:25: Matt wants your feedback!“If there's anything that you want in addition to what you're already getting, or there's editing that you think could be maybe changed or you have any feedback generally, please reach out” 29:15: Matt’s future endeavors Connect with Matt :Email him at [email protected] or connect on Linkedin.Free Gifts:-Email Matt to schedule a 15 minute call if you want advice regarding starting your own podcast!-Are you interested in starting a podcast and using Buzzsprout?
