In this insightful episode of Honey and Hustle, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ed Ross, the founder of Core AI. Our conversation delved into the nuances of authentic leadership and the transformative power of effective communication in the workplace. Ed emphasized that time does not equate to experience or expertise, and that individuals should be encouraged to lead in areas where they excel. We explored the importance of storytelling in presentations and how it can make information more memorable and engaging. Ed provided valuable insights into how every conversation, whether it's with a large audience or a one-on-one interaction, counts towards building relationships and influencing others.A particularly touching story was shared about Ed's mentor, Connie, who played a pivotal role as a sponsor in his career by providing support and opportunities for growth.

In this special bonus episode of the Honey & Hustle podcast, Dane Cardiel, the founder of GoodTape and a member of the Gumball team shares his perspective on community fractures in podcasting and discusses the importance of innovation in marketing efforts. We recorded this episode at Resonate Podcast Festival, the perfect backdrop for this conversation about podcasting and podcast monetization. We delve into the importance of understanding the depth of audience affinity to a show in the podcast industry. While downloads can indicate the scale of a show, they may not be the best metric for determining the audience's affinity. Advertisers really want to know if an ad campaign effectively reaches the audience and if that audience converts. We raise the question of whether there is a resurgence of physical media, such as vinyl records and cassette tapes, and how this may impact the podcasting industry. This conversation truly highlights the historical overlap between print and audio, and the desire for a separate and tangible media experience. Dane shares how the skills and knowledge gained in newspaper journalism can be applied to audio production and storytelling.
