[@WitchDarkTales]

I started doing my Witch dark tales podcast because of Bailey Sarian, now for Pat he helped me grow and every advice he gives works. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Do your podcast and keep going no matter how low your views is, it'll get there.

[@upper9052]

My podcast is The Colitis Scope which talks about Ulcerative Colitis and how I’ve improved my health and help people learn how to improve their gut health 😊

[@justbank5007]

That title is 10/10! 👍😆

[@DrRCStone]

All you have to do is live up to your title. Fire!

[@TruckingTendencies]

👌

[@thisismyNicName]

I legit thought this was a joke. It’s a real podcast!!!

[@emwafir]

Should have named it the Poop Shoot

[@ThePowerofConnectionPodcast]

On September 12th, my partner and I proudly introduced "The Power of Connection Podcast" to our Las Vegas community. The experience has been a thrilling yet nerve-racking journey. Becoming a part of Power-up Podcasting 3.0 community will help navigate these uncharted waters. Thank you Pat, we are excited to get started!

[@EntrepreneurwithRA]

Way to go Pat!!! Telling your story of the young man who finished the marathon and had your name on the sign is amazing!!! I remember I gave a keynote about my struggles with severe rheumatoid arthritis, and after a young mom came up to crying saying to me how moved and inspired she was, and thanked me for sharing my daily struggles with my illness!!

[@gracewithnature]

Thank you, Pat for this training. I have just started a podcast called “Growing Kindness Podcast”. I have 4 episodes so far 😊 thank you so much for sharing the story about you not giving up on your podcast. It inspires me to keep going with mine

[@MyFluentPodcast]

How do we grow our kindness? Good luck with your podcast! Cheers, Daniel

[@chinemeremcynthia]

Hi Grace

[@Bouldercreeklodgemontana]

I had signed up for your live feed, but due to business needs I was unable to participate. I love that you make it available online for a short period of time for us business owners to view. Thank you. Keep on making dreams come true Pat.

[@MekaBanes]

My niche: Motivation, i love to encourage others, i love to push them to start: learning, growing, becoming,coming out comfort zone, etc. I started a podcast one month ago which i named : Writers Mind( gonna change it because someone already have the name). I talk about life and experiences in hopes of helping others find motivation thru the things that all of us may go through. I may have to adjust and change some things but i had to just start.

[@Random.338]

Sounds like a beautiful concept. I would listen to this

[@atthefiveforks8077]

Thanks for this. As an aspiring 66 year old podcaster, just putting it together and not yet published, I loved it all, but the segment on forums and groups was brilliant. I'm definitely going to try that one.

[@patflynn]

You got this!

[@Mom-Mental]

Thank you so much for you advice! My Friend and I launch our Podcast this weekend and couldn’t do it without all your wonderful information! 😊

[@esque5423]

Pat, appreciate this came across your video for descript and squadcast and then this came across the feed. Love your transparency and encouragement. Love the Facebook group growth hack, you got a customer.

[@pampalmater]

I love this podcast episode! Such good information and very encouraging for us smaller podcasters.

[@hollyrigosmedia]

You have been an inspiration and the story of the man you "saved" - Amazing! You just fueled the fire behind my podcast. I am using Fusebox and following YOUR advice as I launch my podcast - Today (9.27.23 - nine episodes) I hope I can return to this comment in 5 years and say it was worth it and have the same story of impact!

[@patriciaturner1033]

Pushing me to get started, especially after you shared the story about the man who ran the marathon and you wiliness to teach with honest. Thank you so much!

[@markjodonohue]

Hey Pat, just wanted to say that your lesson introduction is really good from a theoretical point of view. I’m a high school teacher, and two of the most important things that we have to do for a successful lesson is to outline WHAT the students will be learning in that lesson, but also what success looks like when they achieve it. I believe you nailed both of these throughout this, so just wanted to pop by and say great job!

[@lindalavalle2008]

While I didn't take this training course live, the #1 most important thing I (re)learned was to NEVER GIVE UP and to believe in myself without fail! I was beginning to doubt if providing a supportive podcast for/about people with chronic illnesses (Rheumatoid Arthritis, ADHD, Type 2 Diabetes, and many, many others) would even be worth it, EVEN IF I narrowed it down to one or two of those illnesses, and their connected conditions and concerns, as well as the positive aspects of the lives of these persons! Believe it or not, having RA can also be a blessing as well as a curse!

[@endgamesbeats]

Working on a podcast currently halfway through season one. I'm super pumped and used Twitter to market it. It's a solo alternative music podcast.

[@jamineergas6551]

Incredibly valuable tidbits of information on starting a podcast! Thank you for consistently delivering quality content. 🙌

[@chinemeremcynthia]

Hello

[@thehealthspotuk]

Thank you. Iv been on a role last couple weeks and fully booked with my podcast till end of the year. Your information is invaluable

[@ErikAllenMedia]

This was so great! I’ve been podcasting since 2017 and have implemented many tips and tricks from Pat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pat!

[@natashagilbert3]

I’ve been so nervous about starting and your videos have been so helpful! You just have such a wealth of information ❤

[@chinemeremcynthia]

Hello

[@debts_]

Good morning I am listening from Auckland New Zealand Thank you so much for your post today. You have motivated me to start my podcast. I have been in the finance and mortgages specializing in the debt space for many years.

[@glidkomer]

Thank you Mr. Flynn for keeping your topics current and having really good content🙂.

[@ihavjoy3139]

Ran across you today from Detroit. I don't know if you are going to see this but thank you. I'm not looking to do a podcast but becoming a KZbinr and you gave so much in this video. I created a channel in 2015 today forgot about it but here I am picking up the mantle and your story of the young man from Poland gave me an extra push. I do nothing but listen to KZbin for the last 9 yrs. Learned so so much. My channel will be up with videos in about a couple of weeks and I am going to definitely give you a shout-out, thanks Pat!

[@patflynn]

You got this!

[@jenniferramos2846]

I paused right when I saw the “…& thank you Pat Flynn” sign. I choked up immediately! That’s why I want to start a podcast-to help just one person!! Inspired & thank u again!!

[@vegas2shooters403]

Amazing episode, first time viewer, lots of VALUE, enough to get you going and honestly great work on the how to get started, mic, software, what works, perfect for someone like me who hits the ground running, succinct. I kind tell you put time into this, and am considering the purchase for the podcast thank you!

[@alainfaber]

Great timing. I started mine 3 years ago and I learn best when I do the thing. 😉

[@twoboospodcast7147]

Thoughtful, insightful, and inspiring. Thank you for providing this. Love creating podcast content! It's nice to see others out there with the same passion! All the best!

[@empowercarole11]

I enjoy your educationally inspiring videos. Just launched my new podcast this weekend and used Buzz Sprout as my host platform. Planning is the key and my weekly show is already planned out through the end of the year!

[@chinemeremcynthia]

Hi how are you

[@EntrepreneurwithRA]

I loved the FB group strategy!!! Brilliant!!!!! And I already joined and was accepted into 3 groups during this hour long training! 😀😀😀

[@NjeriJ]

thank you! This was so educative and encouraging especially now that am really thinking of starting a podcast.

[@dutchbrotherfan1284]

I’m creating my podcast called Flying Dutchman Podcast. It’s military aviation themed. I’m nervous excited tons of content ideas. With some humor. Your an asset in my journey. Thank you !!

[@bedbackandbeyond]

I used Pat’s course to create and publish my podcast “Bed Back and Beyond.” He made everything so simple and understandable.

[@AleenaAtWork]

That story of the guy w the marathon is so moving ❤ the power of connection and inspiration can be beyond anything we imagine 🥂

[@ChazLangley]

I’m so nervous about finally launching my podcast… I live in New York and it feels like SO MANY PEOPLE are doing. them that I feel like it’s too saturated (as you mentioned) It’s about Balancing Creative Pursuits and Parenting in the Modern World.

[@ChazLangley]

By the way, the name of my podcast is “My World from My Living Room”

[@myslicechannel]

Thank you this has been very helpful. I've just started season 2 of the 'my slice of life' podcast, where I concentrate on finding the joy in life - I refer to it as the anti-dote to all the doom and gloom!

[@TheCouchGM]

Great episode, thank you! Have had a YT channel for 2 years and have recently started the podcast side of it.. really enjoy diving deep with athletes to hear their stories and how they’ve gotten to where they are today!

[@healthwealthbridge]

The trickle down effect is amazing. That's what I am taking away

[@RPGElite]

This was very informative to listen to. I listened to it while I was walking my dog today 😊. I don't plan on starting a podcast until next year, God willing. So I'm getting a head start on learning about the process and what I will need to put in place. This episode was very helpful for me, so thank you. 👊🏿

[@Universal_Dialogue]

Starting my Podcast! Coming next week, I'm very excited and can't wait, it will be many episodes with different subjects, audience will decide what we will focus on. I'll update my comment next week with the name (which I already have but not gonna share it yet).

[@starlord25626]

I’m excited to start my podcast before the New Year called For The Record talking about music history, appreciation, and album ratings. Thank you for your advice and making me feel like I can just jump right in!

[@GOTalkTexas]

Launching a new podcast platform today with our first episode here on KZbin! Thank you for all of the valuable information in all of your videos!

[@ksbbeta]

Hello Pat! really enjoy this video. Question: what if you had started a podcast but haven't upload for a while? should we just pick back up where we left off?

[@scoutingamerica1910]

Love your graphics! clean, simple, to the point!

[@RollingOutlaw]

Love the random song trail off and friends reference! Great episode great advice thank you

[@SomethingMobile]

Hey Pat, thank you for your efforts to help me. I've listened to "will it fly" and "super fan" and this podcast episode is giving equal high value to me. Thanks again for making this Podcast

[@Marketinginhereyes]

Starting off laughing and now I’m tearing up just touched by the story of the man you inspired. I want to be that for other people. 💕

[@Onesinglechoice]

@patflynn Thank you for this! I have learned so much on this replay. Would love to be in one of you live trainings. Let me know when you do one!!

[@gatorcellman]

As a content listener/viewer myself, I 100% agree that even if the video is subpar, but the audio is good, I’ll still consume. However, if the video is great and either I can hear the person or there’s too much noise, I stop listening immediately. Audio quality is golden!

[@quantumtimelines2846]

Yes! A couple occasionally. Most days, I listen to Robert Gouveia which is a long form KZbin daily show. (podcast(?)

[@saiixceela]

Hi Pat! I'm just a lurker but I am currently in the works to make my own solo podcast and as terrifying as it sounds, I am quite excited! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Your videos have helped so much in my progress and I am so excited to launch hopefully by the next month or so. I don't know my exact niche yet but I do want to reach out to my tribe of people entering their 30s and doing a deep dive towards their passion whilst finding mine 😅 I hope I'm able to deliver as I know the world is getting more and more unusual for everybody 😂

[@PatiencewithSpirit]

I have created with my own spirit team, the guild of the Golden Triangle, a podcast called Spirit News where we bring you higher perspectives of linear views and we help you learn about your non-physicalness and how to develop it in physical

[@stephanieparrish2994]

I have a number of video and audio podcasts but I have had other companies put them on for me and I need to understand how to do it myself and yes I’m nervous to do it myself but I know it can be done and that’s why I’m here

[@thenessenbaumfamily7707]

What is the best course to join if you already have a podcast but are not ready to hire a team? I just started the Birth As We Know It podcast in March of 2023 so I just passed my 7 month mark and am about to publish episode 34. I want to grow my podcast but also would like to eventually monetize but I don't really want to do ads because Birth As We Know It is a podcast dedicated to recognizing the many different ways birth unfolds. So everyone that comes on is vulnerable and sharing something very close to them so popping an advertisement before, in the middle or at the end of their story or experience seems invalidating in a way to me. Just wanting some guidance because I am not sure if the PUP course is what makes sense for me since I already have a podcast and am growing a small community, or if the AMP'd Up course would be the way to go. Or if there is another course that makes more sense. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

[@andytlaird]

I've recently started podcasting, and I'd like to thank you Pat for your inspiration. When I turn on the camera, I feel uncomfortable and look like a serial killer. Despite having experience speaking at events and on stage in front of large audiences, video podcasting poses a challenge. What seems to work for me is when I conduct interviews by looking at the person on my screen rather than at the camera. I wonder if this practice is considered a mistake in the podcasting world?

[@anjolinaalbuquarke8169]

Pat, you're so remarkably resourceful !. Checking your YT vedios on PD , I got lot to know, right from ideations to framework and allied systems and then monetisations and what not ! I have two niches where I can focus , at least with one soon. However I want to know more about linking podcast to respective website. I do not have any website yet . If you can throw some light on that.

[@Shellanomics]

That intro music sounded like Smackdown back in the early 00s. The Beautiful People! Nice intro jam, and thanks for the video!

[@scottmarker-treasurevalley7244]

My ninja niche dumping the old traditional B2B sales model that's focused on money in the salesperson and companies pocket and not what's best for the customer. Replace it with a buyer centric model it rewards sales and team members for only bring in the right customers and then crossed serving and up serving them. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LoveGuruGreg]

Hey Pat! Been tryin to grow my show for years now, without any luck. Must be missing something. :)

[@gveronica7]

i LOVE THAT KID! Without him you wouldn't be where you are today! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing:)

[@MrPacoArespacochaga]

Yes

[@MinnesotaArcticBlast]

I didn't for a long time but started a few years listen at work . And I listen two over ten

[@Marketinginhereyes]

I am absolutely cracking up with the should I talk a little deeper haha with the rock music. Priceless. But you got started and that’s what most of us don’t do or wait way too long to start. I found you 5-6 years ago and even still have my smart passive income pin I one from one of your giveaways but it wasn’t until last year I thought I actually had something to talk about worth listening to. You were the reason I even knew what podcasting was. Great to learn from you.

[@roots2gotv]

I'm just coming across this. The training was value packed! I'm pretty bummed about missing out on the recent launch of your accelator. Will it reopen in the near future?

[@LoveGuruGreg]

Pat, what mic are you using in this video? I noticed it's not what you suggested for newbies.. Thanks!

[@lillianmcgrew217]

Yes I listen to podcast. I think I am listening to 5 podcast.

[@shaneparks4102]

Wow that number is a lot lower… it did excite me.

[@danaa.leblanc2543]

Great podcast my man. How can I be part of the next live?

[@charliecruz1580]

You have been a God send with these videos! Thank you so much! Just launched my podcast called: Lessons and Whispers: Inside the teacher’s Corner. I already messed up by only releasing one episode :O

[@HotForHistory]

Haha I will say that long pause and low energy was funny but the mic sounded amazing and if there was a sound bite on the intro and shorter it wasn’t awful

[@JackPiper33]

@pat what software are you using to broadcast to bring in your pictures and slides?

[@corneliushill3284]

thanks pat. how do we get the class you are offering?

[@BertoBoyd]

Hey sorry last question,… in addition to the platform that I will use (descript), will I have to also sign up for a podcast host or n order to distribute it to Spotify and ok the other listening platforms? I see that Spotify has a service and they can put my podcast into different languages which sounds amazing! Before I sign up and start paying for a service, I just really want to get app the things I’m going to need without having several subscriptions. Am you advise please?🙏🏼

[@movingwheels26]

Thanks,am encouraged and ready to continue doing more, still listening 🎧

Best info I've gotten on affiliate marketing. Thanks

[@emotionalfitnesswithchristina]

How about spotify for podcasters

[@BertoBoyd]

Be been researching my podcast for about a month and I’ve found your info super informative. I’m still on fence about which platform to use. It seems Descript is leading the pack with the new ai tools. I’m on a budget but really like the idea of having ai help with some of the editing, transcriptions etc… since things with ai are moving so quickly, what do you think I should use? Thanks again for the great content!

[@janicekingsbury2895]

I’m doing it!!! I have been practicing making videos and have about 20 topics I can cover just to start with and know it’s endless. My question is about the name of my podcast. When I looked for it there seemed to be several variations on the spelling of the words and placing a word before or after to make the title unique. Do I have to copy write the name, some how claim it? How does that work for titles? Thanks for your help. Continued success! 😊
