Ten Lessons After Almost a Year of Podcasting

Introduction

Patrick
A future guest just told me, every band has a song about being in a band. So today I will give you my version. I won't do this often, and I only do it this week in case listenership drops due to the holiday. I didn't want any guest to have a smaller than normal audience. I've now been doing this for almost one year and have learned a tremendous amount. Since the whole idea behind the show is to learn in public, I'm going to share a few of the lessons I've learned with you today. I'll shape it as a top 10 list, which ends with a fun story about my recent dinner with Warren Buffett. You'll notice that many of these are just good business and life lessons applied to something specific. In this case, a podcast. I hope you can pull the essence of one or more of these things and change how you do things, especially if you create any sort of content as part of your job. Onto the list.
