Thank You for Subscribing!

If you're listening to this, you’re likely subscribed to the podcast, so thank you! I’m not publishing this episode on the blog or announcing it anywhere else, so I truly appreciate your support. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been doing this podcast for over five years now! The first episode launched in May 2019, and since then, we’ve surpassed 225 episodes, including some bonus ones.

Recent Focus: Studio Setups

For the past six months, we've been diving into the studio setups of top creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners. I hope you’ve enjoyed the peek behind the curtain! It’s always fun to see what others are doing and get inspired for your own setup.

What’s Next? A New Season on Confidence & Communication

Now, it’s time for a new season! I’ve already recorded 13 episodes, and we’ll be focusing on confidence and communication. Each episode will feature a special guest, and we’ll explore how to communicate effectively and build confidence in front of the camera. If you want to improve your on-camera presence, this is the season for you!

Big Changes Ahead for the Podcast

After this season, the Confident Live Marketing Podcast as we know it may be coming to an end—or at least undergoing some big changes. I’ve shared so much about live video, confidence, tech, and marketing over the past five years, and it feels like the right time to evolve. There could be a name change, or it might even be an entirely new podcast.

I’d love to hear from you! What would you like to hear next? What topics are you interested in? Are you sad to see this podcast change or potentially end? Let me know by emailing me at ian@iag.me or messaging me on social media. Your feedback is really important to me as I plan the future.

New Podcast: Smart ADHD Podcast

Earlier this year, I launched a new podcast, the Smart ADHD Podcast. It's completely different from Confident Live Marketing and focuses on ADHD, a topic I’m really passionate about. It’s been exciting to see how popular it has become, with double the number of downloads compared to this show!

I’ll be attending the International ADHD Conference in Anaheim, California this November, so look out for updates from that.

What About Tech & AI?

In addition to confidence and communication, I’m also fascinated by tech and AI in the business and marketing world—and how these tools impact us personally. I’ll be exploring these topics more in the future, so stay tuned!

Final Thoughts

Over the next few episodes, we’ll be diving deep into confidence, communication, and overcoming challenges like comparison and imposter syndrome. My background as a professional singer has shaped my passion for helping others communicate effectively, and I’m excited to continue sharing that with you.

Thank you so much for listening, and if you want to watch the video versions of these episodes, head over to iag.me/podcast.

Until next time, level up your impact, authority, and profits through the power of confident live video.

But I am pausing both podcasts this month, but I will return in July with fresh episodes on studio behind the scenes and then the next season, which is on confidence and communication. 

When I launched the Confident Live Marketing Podcast back in May 2019, I never missed an episode each week for over 3 years. But consistency for consistency’s sake is not a good strategy. Taking breaks is crucial for maintaining energy, quality content, and avoiding burnout.

In this bonus episode, I re-run the interview with two amazing guests: Michelle Levitt, Marketing and Creative Director of Heil Sound, a professional audio equipment manufacturer, and Izabela Russell, the CEO of Music Radio Creative, a company specializing in audio branding.

We dive into the importance of audio branding and its role in reflecting your personality. We also discuss the technical aspects of microphones and how they can impact your voice’s authenticity.

Here are the key takeaways from our conversations:

Audio branding: How you want to be perceived and how you want people to feel when they listen to your content. Consider the intro, outro, and elements in between, along with suitable music and voice artists.

Reflecting your personality with Izabela Russell: Think about how your audio branding can reflect your personality. If you’re quirky and fun, incorporate that into your branding. If you’re more serious, choose music and voice elements that match that vibe.

Energy and authenticity: The energy you project on camera should be a slightly heightened version of your true self. Be authentic, and don’t be afraid to showcase your energy.

Microphone frequency response with Michelle Levitt: The range of frequencies a microphone can capture. Look for a small rise in the 2-5 kHz range for better articulation on the human voice.

Choosing the right microphone: The difference between microphones like the Heil PR 30 and PR 40 lies in their unique frequency responses. The PR 40 has more low-end and gives a warm, traditional broadcast sound, while the PR 30 has more mid-range presence.

Authenticity in your voice: Choose a microphone that makes you sound like yourself. When people meet you in person, they should not be surprised by how your voice sounds compared to your podcast or live show.

In this episode, we're going back to episode 2, "Getting Started with Live Video," and episode 22, "How to Repurpose Your Live Videos to Explode Your Business." My guest for episode 22 was Amy Woods, the founder of Content10X, and she shared some amazing insights on how to repurpose your live videos to maximize their impact and grow your business.

In episode 2, I talked about the two things you need to go live and why you don't need to get too fancy with your tech. Live video is all about being authentic and connecting with your audience, so don't let a lack of expensive equipment hold you back. With just a smartphone and an internet connection, you can start going live and sharing your message with the world.

In episode 22, Amy shared why live video is the perfect medium for repurposing your content. By repurposing your live videos into other formats, such as blog posts, podcasts, and social media posts, you can reach a wider audience and drive more traffic to your website. She gave some amazing practical tips on the best places to repurpose your content, including LinkedIn, Medium, and Quora.

So if you're looking to get started with live video or you want to take your content repurposing to the next level, be sure to check out this episode. And if you want to learn more from Amy and her team at Content10X, be sure to visit their website at content10x.com. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you in the next episode!

You've probably heard of Adobe Creative Cloud. It's an amazing subscription service to all of Adobe’s professional tools. This includes Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Audition etc.

I use many of these regularly, especially Photoshop and Audition. But unless you are a professional, the Creative Cloud tools can be overkill, too complicated and too powerful.

Adobe Express is a collection of content creation tools for non-designers. Although they're great for designers too.

It’s not something you hear people talking about very often.

Yet it affects 20% of the workforce. 

It’s a big topic.

Now, as a man, it’s obviously not a topic I can discuss with any authority. But my guest, Mel Kettle, has written about this often and has a personal story on the topic.

October 18th is World Menopause Day, so it seems like a good day to talk about this.

In a recent article by Mel, she mentioned a report in which 83% of respondents said their work was negatively affected by menopause. “Nearly half said they considered retiring or taking a break from work when their menopausal symptoms were severe. And 60% ranked workplace support during menopause as ‘poor’ or ‘below average’.”

So, what can be done to help, especially for women running their own businesses? Well, Mel is here to help!

​​Mel Kettle is an internationally recognised expert at fully connected leadership and communication. She works with leaders and teams that want to achieve real connection and sustained engagement. She is the best-selling author of Fully Connected and the host of the podcast This Connected Life.

But what about live streaming a massive event for 24 hours? 

Isn’t that mad? Isn’t that just really difficult?

In this episode, I am joined by the fabulous Olga Andrienko from Semrush. She’s helped organise just such an event before. And she’s doing it again for The Global Marketing Day 2023.

So when I discovered Jenna Redfield’s YouTube channel after searching for “Notion ADHD” I was excited! I’m over the moon that Jenna’s my guest on this episode.

Sharing knowledge through online content has been a powerful part of our lives and our businesses. It allows us to create more impact and authority. Written content is still powerful. But as Liz said to me recently, with video, people get to see and hear you and that creates a deeper connection.

In this episode, we’re talking about how you can share your knowledge powerfully through video. 

Your ideas can start with written content such as a blog post, or even a Tweet. But you can easily turn that into a video (live or pre-recorded). Then you can embed that into your blog post and bring it full circle. Or you can start with a video and turn that into a blog post.

There’s so much to talk about!

I’m a recovering perfectionist. And my guest is one too. But he’s a prolific content creator with an amazing YouTube channel. In fact, I’ve been totally hooked on his videos! It’s Alec Johnson.

Alec will be sharing how he’s ditched perfectionism and created systems which allow him to create video content regularly. It’s going to be a fun one!

You shouldn’t start with any kind of content.

First of all, what are your main goals? Your plan? Your strategy?

NEVER create content for content’s sake.

Yet, that’s exactly what I used to do.

Tune in to find out my mistakes and what I did about it!

And do you actually USE LinkedIn regularly?

LinkedIn is the social network for professionals. And if you're a coach or consultant, you're more likely going to find people who will actually pay you.

In this episode, we're joined by Louise Brogan (her 2nd time!) She gave a great presentation at her event in Dublin a few weeks back about LinkedIn. So, I was excited to ask her back on the show.

We'll be looking at how you reboot your LinkedIn. How to boost your engagement. Work out our strategy. How we get people to buy our stuff without being sleazy! And does LinkedIn Live fit into any of this?

Louise Brogan is a LinkedIn Consultant, speaker and host of the LinkedIn with Louise Podcast and YouTube Channel. Louise runs a specialist agency offering LinkedIn done-for-you marketing as well as training for teams who want to leverage LinkedIn.

But I'd be lying if I said I was super productive in all areas of my business. 

I'm missing a digital hub. 

But what's one of those?

That's one of the reasons why I am excited about my guest today.

I'm joined by systems expert, Amy Mitchell. We're going to talk about what a digital hub is and why we might want one. We'll talk about project management tools, tasks and more!

But what on earth is all of this? Is this a new dawn in humanity - a new technology that is going to revolutionise how we all live? Or is this a bit like the Emporer’s New Clothes - some supposedly new and exciting thing that amounts to nothing?

In this episode, I’m going to attempt to dig into Web 3.0 from a beginners’ perspective - a skeptic’s guide.  We’ll look at what underpins all of this - the blockchain. We’ll look at NFTs and more. And try and answer the question - what does all of this have to do with us, with our businesses and our marketing? Does it all even matter?

And, I’m very much at the start of my journey into all of this. I am a bit of a skeptic. But I’m also anxious not to be the guy in the 1990s that predicted that this “internet thing” was a passing fad. Let’s start this journey together!

But what about the audio?

Audio is actually far more important than video. If your audience can’t hear you well, then they won’t bother to watch.

In this episode, I’m comparing microphones. The Heil PR-40, the Blue Yeti, and the Samson Q2U and Q9U. Let’s see which one wins?
