Podcasting Lessons Learnt with Sarah Giffrow

This week on the show is Sarah Giffrow, sharing with us the lessons she learnt when she started a podcast in 2020. Here are the things she learnt: Be realistic with your time and consider what's happening in your life now. Perfectionism holds you back. Don't get caught up with the sound of your own voice! PRO TIP: Try listening back to yourself every day to get used to the sound of your voice. Remember to be kind - NO JUDGEMENT! There's a learning curve with new tech, especially editing tools. PRO TIP: Do your own research and experiment with different tools to see which work for you best. It might help to listen to a past episode I recorded about How to publish your podcast Just to get you started with your research! Keep the format simple and let the conversation flow. "Comparison is the road to abandoned projects." Sarah is 100% right here! The comparison game is one I struggle with too and it DOES NOT HELP!! Thanks, Sarah for sharing your experience! About My Guest Sarah’s path was set in the days of the Old Internet--she was raised in an unusually tech-savvy household, and she hand-coded her very first webpage in 1995. Her online marketing studio, Upswept Creative, was born out of her side hustle as a photographer, where she often found herself seized by the irrepressible urge to help her photography clients improve their websites. In her spare time, she can be found lifting heavy barbells, refereeing roller derby, cuddling her spicy meatball of a toddler, and giving all the pets to her extremely food-motivated tuxedo cat, Zergling.
