Max Branstetter, host of the Wild Business Growth podcast and founder of MaxPodcasting, joined me on the latest episode of K-Stream to talk…well…podcasting. 

Max has produced more than 150 episodes of Wild Business Growth, and now helps other aspiring podcasters produce and promote their shows. He focuses on what he calls the 3 Ps: Podcast planning, podcast production, and podcast promotion.

“Consistency and having quality is really key,” says Max. “Also, making sure that the guest has the best experience possible. If the guest has the best experience possible, and you’re having fun as a host, that’s going to funnel through to the listener and the listener will pick up on that.”

We talked about:

  • Why business owners should create podcasts
  • How podcasting helps entrepreneurs
  • Tips to make your podcast stand out
  • Being consistent with your release date
  • What tech to use…hint: Zoom can do great things
  • How blogs/website helps in having your podcast show up in search
  • How awesome the networking part of podcasting is

Many dad jokes were also inserted throughout the show. Max will readily admit he loves a good dad joke. He also dishes a little on some of his dream guests to have on his show.

Charlene Walters, MBA, PhD is a business and branding mentor, corporate trainer, TV host, author, and contributes to publications like Entrepreneur Magazine.

Charlene joined me to talk about what it means to be a business and branding mentor, and how live streaming has helped her grow her business. She hosts a regular talk show that airs on the DB&A television network, a 24/7 streaming channel available on Roku and Amazon Fire.

Launch is a show for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, side hustlers and anyone who wants to launch their entrepreneurial spirit and life to hear from other experts and authors who have been in their shoes.

She also launched a book earlier this year called, fittingly enough, Launch Your Inner Entrepreneur. We talked about what aspiring business owners can expect from the book as well as where the idea came from to write it.

Video and live streaming have become key to the networking aspect of Charlene’s business.

“You get to meet so many great people, and you also pick up a lot of tips from them as well,” says Charlene.

“I always recommend to entrepreneurs that it’s a good idea [to start a podcast] in some form just to network with other people. That’s been the brightest spot of this time home during the pandemic. My network has just exploded during this time.”
