My wife is launching a podcast in April! This is a project she has built toward for a while that is finally coming to fruition. Lisa is a performance management strategist and also a certified professional coach. As she says, positivity is her beat, and that is what this new podcast is all about. It’s an entertaining exercise in gratitude she and her local guests share. Lisa’s goal is to start a ripple effect of positivity. What has brightened your day?

Podcasting enters my area of the world, and I enjoyed watching her quick transition to content producing. She formulated the idea, created a format for the show, started booking interviews, and hired musician and designer friends to compose her theme and design the pod’s logo. I was recruited to the effort as well (duh!). While I’ve made equipment recommendations and acted as a troubleshooter for technical issues, my job is mainly post-production and assisting with the metadata. I handle audio restoration, editing, mixing, and uploading. I’ll start the submission process shortly for Apple, Spotify, and Google. We’ve got her on a hosting service already and will route the podcasts through her website. There have also been discussions with a radio station in Salem, Oregon to air these shows, which will release weekly.

I’m really proud of Lisa. She comes at this with a producer’s mindset, and being a curious person, she is good at getting her guests to open up. She finds the interviews invigorating. We’re ironing out the creases as we go, and I expect any technical hitches to lessen over time. Lisa will also get more comfortable with the “live recording” aspect. Everything is headed in the right direction. Once the show launches, I’ll post a link on my site. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more editing to do.
