Podcasting: the Power to Change Worlds and Lives with Mark Steadman

"The human voice is more persuasive than the written word, and stories have the power to change worlds and lives. You can use your voice to create positive impact - to build trust, educate, and "deepen the conversation".   This is what Mark Steadman truly believes, lives by and helps others understand, feel confident in and get creative with. He runs a school for purposeful people who want to use their voice to create impact, but who are also trying to keep on top of life.     Mark founded Podcode - a "podcast school and community for changemakers" - so he could share his knowledge and experience – the wins and losses he’s racked up – during his time behind the mic. He's on a mission to help social entrepreneurs feel empowered to technically produce and emotionally own their podcasts... generous gifts to those they want to help, compelling story tools to those whose support they would like and mirrors up to their own needs, wants and values.   We will be talking to Mark about how it feels to him to support the People Helpers - to feel like an 'Agent of Change' himself, and how being in a community and having a guide to follow can support not only an individual but an entire movement... starting with yourself.  Mark has been making podcasts since 2008. He works with best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, artists, and celebrities. His work has been highlighted by the BBC, and he presented the Comedy award at the inaugural British Podcast Awards in 2017. He runs the Birmingham Podcast Festival in the UK’s second city, and has produced a murder mystery podcast in under 15 minutes, live on stage, twice in one day.    He founded the podcast hosting company Podiant in 2016and sold it in the Spring of 2021. He now spends his time exclusively helping podcasters get results on their terms.  Mark has had both Simon and Frances on his own new podcast show, Ear Brain Heart. Through these conversations with entrepreneurs, thinkers, and change-makers who are working towards a better future, Mark explores the way we show up for audiences, build trust and effect change.    And we are delighted now to return the invitation.   If you would like people to hear your story... look no further.   Descript for editing: https://www.descript.com/?lmref=PVcNrA   Seths Podcast Ads podcast: https://shows.acast.com/akimbo/episodes/podcast-ads   Marks Podcast: https://podcode.co/listen/earbrainheart/
