Speaker 3:Really hunched over. Do you see my new setup, mimi? I'm standing. I can't hunch over. That would be weird. I'd be like wait, you're standing, I'm standing. What I'm standing, I know.
Speaker 1:Hey, might as well get those steps in while you're recording.
Speaker 3:I should get one of those treadmill things right.
Speaker 1:You should. Oh my gosh, okay. If you guys have a recommendation for us, please let us know in the comments or message us on Instagram. We want to know.
Speaker 3:We want to know so, and then that would be the most ridiculous episode. I would be sweating from the lights and the treadmill and that, yeah, it'd be a mess.
Speaker 1:We're here for it. We love sweating. So, jonathan, first of all, we are frinkin' stinking excited for this episode because this is basically the halfway point of season one, jonathan. So cheers, my friend, cheers.

Speaker 3:I'm gonna try the coffee on that side, so I can, you know, maneuver a little bit better.
Speaker 1:Things we learned from the first 10 episodes of recording is don't gulp right into your mic. That would be a big one.
Speaker 3:Correct. We also shouldn't, or any of those noises either.
Speaker 1:Although some people do like ASMR.
Speaker 3:I know I'm just saying. I don't think our fans do, though. Well, maybe some, who knows?
Speaker 1:Well, okay. So before we dive into all the goods I mean, we are gonna share with you our top tips, what we've learned getting these first 10 episodes out. You guys Like, we are here at the halfway mark for season one and we wanted to give some shoutouts to all those people who have been leaving reviews on our Apple podcast page. We love you guys for that. I know you can't review on Spotify, but you can drop some five stars over there. Rate us, and we appreciate you. So do you want to shout some people out? Jonathan, I know you have it up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I have it up here on my phone and I wanted to shout out to Zana, who has been an incredible supporter of the podcast and you know all our time on Clubhouse. So Zana wrote a really nice review and then I do love this one that starts with a perfect blend of oh, of course it cuts it off. We're a perfect blend, Mimi. So of course, this is my absolute favorite podcast ever. How could we not love that? We had so many good reviews. We had 22 reviews and we've only done 10 episodes.
Speaker 3:Heck, yes, Keep reviewing if you haven't Sign me up, love the vibe and can't wait to tune in on the 18th, which is tonight, and I cannot find Dr Jackie's. But I want to shout out Dr Jackie, who wrote an amazing review and listens to all the episodes and has been a great supporter.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and I want to thank you. I want to throw in some names. Shout out to Valerie, angel, adam I mean you guys really for supporting and always leaving amazing messages, whether it's in a review or in on the YouTube channel. We appreciate you. We have to before we move forward. Shout out the person that opened up the podcast. Every time you guys click on one of the episodes, you hear that New Yorker, michelle Gill. So shout out to Michelle.
Speaker 3:Michelle Gill. That entire introduction is hers and she did a phenomenal job, the music selection and everything and I think it makes the podcast it does we finally?
Speaker 1:we got you there.
Speaker 3:We got me there. It took a while. I know Jonathan was battling me?
Speaker 1:Jonathan was battling me a little bit, but listen, we compromised and it really does fit the style. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:So, mimi, what are we talking about today? Like, I feel like this is such a big episode.
Speaker 1:It's a huge episode and I'm getting a little emotional, so bear with me, jonathan. You know it's just. I'm thinking about all of those episodes we recorded and just like, please, even before recording.
Speaker 3:Please don't cry If you before recording. This was two, three months before we started recording our first episode. We started talking about it. Yeah, it was a long process.
Speaker 1:It was longer than that.
Speaker 3:It was like way longer than two to three months.
Speaker 1:But you know it was. You know we were throwing around the idea. We were throwing around the idea of possibly doing a podcast and sometimes, you know, it takes a little while to get that idea going.
Speaker 3:So we want to talk to you guys. There's a lot of.
Speaker 1:I agree, but there's a lot of you know prep before the actual get into the studio and record, kind of thing. So we wanted to talk to you guys about the whole process and hopefully it will help you on your journey of becoming a podcaster. Jonathan, let's kick us off with the first tip, and I have it here in our notes I always have show notes, by the way.
Speaker 3:We had to come to the decision if we wanted to do both the podcast for audio and for video, because you can do one or the other right, yep, yeah, and that was a hard decision because and it and everything kind of wrote on that because if you're doing it, for you're doing video, you need to have video equipment. You need to make sure that you're using a platform that can help you edit the video and the audio together. You've got all the different audio tracks. If you've got guests on, if you, how do the guests join all of that? So it's a big decision and doing it. Audio video, you know you say it doesn't add a lot, but it does. It adds a little bit, quite a bit.
Speaker 1:I'm laughing because Jonathan is our editor. We kind of threw him into that task, but and he does an amazing job, by the way. So just know, if you are going to tackle video, yes, you could upload the raw footage, but you're probably not going to want to.
Speaker 3:No, we learned that after our first episode.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of outtakes, a lot of things that don't need to be there. But I think why do we choose to do both, like right off the bat, like why didn't we just stick with audio?
Speaker 3:Well, first of all, I'm a video guy. I teach video. I do have some background in editing. I feel like people make a connection with video and also all of our clubhouse people had never seen us before. They heard us but they'd never seen us before. So it was kind of a special, you know nod to them but also an additional layer to the podcast that they could enjoy.
Speaker 1:I love that, jonathan, I really do, and you just never know like. We're uploading these onto YouTube, and YouTube is its own other world of search engine, so it's another way for you also to be found. I do want to just do a quick intro because, jonathan, we didn't tell people who we are, just in case they this is their first time stumbling on us.
Speaker 3:We're horrible, whoops, we're really bad. We're like I play in.
Speaker 1:Tell them real quick who you are, absolutely.
Speaker 3:My name is Jonathan Howard. I'm the owner of Success on Social, and that's all you need to know, right? Oh, yeah, you know, I help us know. I help successful female coaches reach their ideal clients on social media through short form video sharing their story, and that's how they change the world.
Speaker 1:And hi everyone. I'm Umi Langley. I teach women in business how to host rooms, how to moderate on social audio that includes LinkedIn audio and Clubhouse to grow your business from the ground up. We had to do it, jonathan, because we always teach about that you should introduce yourself somewhere in the first minute or so of your video, though just so clarify whatever, listen, we're making it work, it's working.
Speaker 3:It's all good.
Speaker 1:Nobody cares about who you are. But now that we've established OK, moving forward, we want to do video and audio. We had to prepare for that right. So the next thing that we have on the sheet by the way, these are not in no particular order, we're just kind of throwing things at you guys but the other thing that we had to think about was kind of how long did we want the episodes to be? What kind of format do we want the show to have? You know, because we want to try to keep it the same every time someone listens in. So I was. I was fighting for like a three hour podcast episode and Jonathan was laughing at me.
Speaker 3:I was laughing. I was laughing quite hard at you for the three hour podcast episode because I was like, wait, what and who listens to that? Now, I do know there are three hour podcasts out there and people listen, but I was like, no, nobody is going to know. So, yeah, we, I needed to be shorter, so I threw a number like three minutes out there. She said longer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can, he did not throw three minutes out there. Let's be real, but we did decide one minute podcast.
Speaker 1:Well, listen, there are people out there that do really short episodes, so I think it's another thing. It's like you know, if you don't know what you want to do, I think looking at the market, looking at other podcast episodes what are people doing, how long are they talking? For? Kind of getting an idea of that way as well can really help you set this up and show formatting. Listen to other podcasts how are they doing it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, although you had a very clear format that you wanted for this and you wanted it to be different from everybody else's. You wanted it to feel like a morning talk show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, kind of, and I think that's okay. I think it's okay to bring your own vision to what you're creating, right, we don't always have to be like everybody else. It's like Absolutely, which is why I like working with you, because you're very open to that.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, and I believe that you should have a signature style. Somebody shouldn't stumble on our podcast and go oh my God, it's just like that podcast. I mean, it couldn't remind them of other podcasts, but it should be different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we're different. I'm weird, yeah, I'm weird, okay. So we decided we wanted to do 18 minutes, because the goal is to give you things but make it digestible. I can't remember how we did all of these checkpoints.
Speaker 3:I can't remember what came first but we're just kind of A spreadsheet.
Speaker 1:We have that on here. We will talk about the spreadsheet.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, okay, they should.
Speaker 1:Yes, but the next thing I have on the list for us to talk about is deciding on topics, because and again, this is if you're working with someone, but even if you're not working with someone, it's important to kind of have like a roadmap of how you want those first episodes to go. Yeah, so, jonathan, you want to talk more about that?
Speaker 3:Well, and I think the other thing is we had both heard that the best way to go is to drop a whole bunch of episodes so those people that love to binge can binge on them. So we're like we don't want the first five episodes, six episodes, to be exactly the same, so we had to map those out and figure out what we wanted to talk about so that we were both equally balanced. We both have a ton of business experience. We both have a ton of social media experience. So we wanted to make sure that our topics shined in those first episodes, but also that we were entertaining and giving you guys something that you wanted to listen to, because if you don't want to listen to it after the first two episodes, you're gone. So we wanted to be something you wanted to listen to and care about. So it and it's even in the second half of the season we just mapped out the last 11. And even with changes and stuff, it's like wow, that's a lot of good stuff in that second half too A lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1:I mean really. I mean we really took time to develop the points that we wanted to touch, because the podcasts about social media and business, we can go in all different kinds of directions. But I really feel like the first season we thought about that, we thought about you guys. We thought about the beginning journey, the middle journey. Yeah, jonathan.
Speaker 3:I was just going to say and we can go in all sorts of directions, you can.
Speaker 1:And I think, honestly, I don't know how this happened, but I feel like we have a list of topics that are very different from one another but yet still apply wherever you are on your journey. So, yeah, I think we do a good job. High five, high five Was that, I don't know. That was really Okay, that was good. Well, you almost like smacked me, but anyways.
Speaker 3:Oh well, you know it's all good, there's times. Spreadsheets.
Speaker 1:We did come from the background of social audio, so these were a lot of the topics that we were so used to talking about anyways together. But you could look at YouTube episodes, you could look again at podcast episodes and kind of get an idea of what you want to talk to your audience about. So there's definitely ways to come up with topics. But we definitely, for sure, locked in those first six episodes because we knew we were going to drop six. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and we then really had locked in our first 10.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, we did Our first 10. Yeah.
Speaker 3:We switched one of them out, but we locked in our first 10.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we did it through a spreadsheet, right, and we have a tab. We have a tab in the spreadsheet that has ideas for future podcast episodes, so it's nice to have that too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, that is such an important tab. That is an important tab and the spreadsheets aren't bad when they start. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, jonathan, let's go ahead and go into a commercial break real quick. We have a couple of sponsors for this episode, so who could those sponsors be? We'll go ahead and let those play, and then we'll be back for a few more tips on.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you're like me, but I'm a busy mom with big dreams. I feel like I have no time in the day to write my book or start my blog. That's why I signed up for the Girl You've Got this action over perfection community.

Speaker 1:We hope you guys enjoyed that commercial break. We try to make it as fun as possible for you guys. It's what keeps the lights on for Kwaffi social podcast. Okay, yeah, exactly, and my dogs All right, jonathan, let's continue on on this very special episode where we are giving tips on what we've learned for those first 10 episodes that we released. So the next one I have on our notes is well, I think you wrote this because you said Mimi does the framework of the episodes. What does that mean? Tell the people.
Speaker 3:So what that means is Mimi is an amazing I don't know if it's a producer, whatever the director, whatever it is Mimi has a structure for every episode and she writes it down like what she wants to talk about. And then I go in and I'll make notes on it. I'll see like, hey, I love this point, hey, I hate this point, hey, we're gonna argue on this one, whatever it may be. But then we have kind of and as you can tell, for most episodes Mimi kind of runs the show in that way she goes through the questions that we have, the we want to answer and that stuff. So that helps us keep the show. I obviously have to keep her on time, but that helps us keep the show structured so that we're staying on time and interesting for you and I don't have as much editing.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, so then you would be the producer, I think. I don't know what the titles would be, but Jonathan does keep us in check when it comes to timing, which I love that about him, so he's very good about that. And I think the show notes whether, again, you're collaborating with somebody else on a podcast or your solo podcasting, having some kind of show notes so that you can keep on track, just like when you're doing a social audio room right, having those bullet points so you don't get sidetracked, right, you stay focused. That's basically what the show notes do, and so we have a really good process.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I also use the show notes in editing to make sure that we stayed on track, and if there's something that's, you know, superfluous and ornamental and not needed, then I just take it out. We can use it as an outtake or a reel or something else, but if it's superfluous, we don't need it in the episode, it goes away. What is superfluous. It means unnecessary. Is that a word? Yes, superfluous and ornamental is what.
Speaker 1:I use to call people who had useless jobs. Superfluous.
Speaker 3:Superfluous, supercalifidalistic. Yeah, no, we'll put the definition of superfluous in the show notes.
Speaker 1:See you guys. You listen in, for you know social media and business tips, but you're also gonna walk away with a nice dictionary of words that you never knew exist.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Okay, I love that. Let's talk about this, because this I feel like this question is really hot. You know, people always ask this and that is where are you recording your podcast episodes? Right, and there's a ton of different ways. You guys, you can go on Google and search a ton of different ways. You can go on YouTube and find a ton of different ways, but how do we do it, jonathan?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're using Riverside. There's a couple of things that it does. It records our audios and videos locally and then sends them to me to edit, so I have the master files that are recorded on the computer first and not on the internet. Zoom does it differently, so it's not as high quality and you want. Really, when it comes to podcasting, what we're learning is your audio makes all the difference. You want to have the highest quality audio possible, and the best way to get it is by having high quality audio to start with. We didn't have that really pinned down when we started but we're getting better.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that is, we use Riverside. We host on Sprout, buzzsprout. I always get confused with the other social media one, so Buzz we host on Buzzsprout, which has been amazing. It is so easy to use Buzzsprout. I recommend it for like everybody. I even just got the YouTube listing done. All that Super easy.
Speaker 1:Where we record is Riverside, and then Buzzsprout is what helps us upload it onto all these different platforms, and they do cost money, so that is something to be aware of if you're going to go this route. You have to give a little bit of money, but it's worth it if this is what you want to do. It's nice, though, when you're working with somebody, that you can split the cost. You already kind of touched on this one, but there is a little bit of editing. I don't know when it comes to, like, audio editing, but if you're for sure going to put this on video, you're probably going to edit the video. So we had to figure out who's doing what, especially when you're working with someone we don't want. So we had to figure out what am I doing? What is Jonathan doing? And Jonathan, one of the tasks was was you editing? So if you want to talk about that, it was me editing.
Speaker 3:But the funny thing is, when you're doing a podcast with two people, I don't like the way this side of my face looks in that shot, or by making a funny face, you know, like all those things.
Speaker 3:So we actually have a weird editing process where we record the video and then I will do the first run edit of it and I will all the things that are needed for the show, all the things that you know, kind of get put together, smush together, and then I will send it to Mimi and she'll listen all the way through and she'll say, hey, there's a weird, you know, like a weird transition here and a weird here.
Speaker 3:And I hate the way my hair looks in the last clip and I'm like, okay, well, your hair is staying and, um, but let me get those transitions cleaned up, because you, you literally go into the timeline and you can clean them up. It's fairly easy. I do it on Riverside for the most part. Sometimes, if the audio is really bad, I need to bring it over to Adobe and fix some of the audio. But overall it's been done on Riverside and it's it is fairly easy. Once you get, you need to have your own Style your own pace and your show kind of falls into a certain rhythm. You don't want to get boring, but it falls into a certain rhythm and once you get that it's easier.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like you don't complain as much as you once did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1:I feel like overwhelmed, you know, and that's just how it is anyways. But anything we start, you guys, it kind of can feel overwhelming, because we're just not used to it. We haven't found the rhythm, but now we have a rhythm. At this point we have a rhythm for everything that we do now with the podcast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yep, which is a good thing.
Speaker 1:We need that, and you have to go through the bad rhythms to get to the good ones. Can we talk real quickly about the master spreadsheet and then we have one last tip after that and then we are good to go. You guys won't keep you any longer, but I know, we know, that this, this episode, is definitely going to help you. So, yes, I hope you're taking lots of notes, people.
Speaker 3:We have to give that, we have to share. We have to share the secret?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I was going to ask, though do podcast listeners take notes Like I'm usually walking?
Speaker 2:and I'm listening.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, I'm walking or listening to something else. I'm in a clubhouse room with a podcast going and you're so funny.
Speaker 1:Don't tell people that. Cut that out, okay. So the next point is our master spreadsheet and Jonathan, I love your little notes. First of all, if you're watching YouTube, this is kind of like our notes. It's just I print them out, I, you know, type them up in Google, google doc, and he put don't get me started on the spreadsheets, I love Google, google drive, google sheets, google docs. I mean, I love that it's free most of the time unless you reach your limit. But with this I wanted to have one central location, kind of like our vault, where I can access it, jonathan can access it and he logins that we need passwords, that we need any upcoming episode ideas, that we have like everything thumbnails, titles, everything when we're going to film dates, times, like everything is in there. So it's like one master spreadsheet.
Speaker 3:It is the most disorganized organize I've ever seen. It has like 450 tabs. I can never find the tab I need. I don't know what goes on what tab and I just get lost.
Speaker 1:I get lost. He's kidding, half kidding.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not. I'm not. There's 450 tabs on that spreadsheet. I'm going to put that in the notes too Season two, I plan on downsizing season two.
Speaker 1:I will for sure downsize, but remember, we're trying to keep get our rhythm and this is what it looks like right now. We're going to screenshot it and have it later when we have like 1000 episodes. We're going to look back at that spreadsheet and be like, wow, but it's what got us going. That's the thing to remember. You guys, this is what's getting you going in the beginning. So it works. I mean, it's all there, it works.
Speaker 3:The other thing is to remember when you're working with somebody, it's two different people that work in two different styles, and you have to figure out what's going to work, because what works for her clearly doesn't work for me, but what works for me may not work for her. So I have to figure out what, and we're both strong headed individuals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wonder if people came here for the tea, which I don't know if we want to drop me tea. Well, I mean.
Speaker 3:Jonathan, we, I love me, me too, but we fought over like YouTube thumbnails, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, when you're working with someone, yeah, just like Jonathan said, it's like everybody has their own way of working, everyone has their own vision on things. You know, when you have two strong minded creatives coming together on this one project, it can be a lot. Sometimes, right, it's almost like you're. You're in a relationship in a way, right, like he's my work spouse. Really, that's what it is, and so you have to. I mean, you will come to a compromise. It's not always going to look nice and pretty. It might get a little ugly, but you have one goal at the end of the day, right, and that is to grow. The podcast, that is. You know what I mean to get reach.
Speaker 3:And so yeah, and I wouldn't, I wouldn't hit a girl.
Speaker 1:No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't hit anyone.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't hit anyone, but there have been like I'm not, no joke, it was a knockdown, like we need to take a day away from each other. Fight yeah Over YouTube thumbnails.
Speaker 1:That's, it could literally be as simple as that. Like, although YouTube thumbnails is a big part you know for YouTube, they should all be branded like this is little stuff to some that you know think it's little that we fought over and I don't even want to use the word fought, but we had disagreements on that's a better word I think we had disagreements on and we just had to come to some type of reasoning.
Speaker 1:So oh, my God we're so far over on this episode. I'm happy that we talked about that, Jonathan, honestly, because I'm sure that there are some people that came here and they're like how are you working together? Let's go into the last point and then we'll close up. So the last one here we have is have fun, always no burnout. We don't want that, you know. Have some flexibility and then, if you are working with someone, that big word compromise. So do you want to talk about this.
Speaker 3:No, I don't want to talk about compromise. I don't like compromise. I think my way is always right and I've had to give in a few times, but mostly my way is always right. But here's something else I want to share. I'm going to share a little bit more tea. Ok, when it comes to compromise, when it comes to being flexible, know that it's not always going to go right. We recorded the first episode four times. Yeah, four times. None of them were anywhere near perfect. Two of them were usable and I used clips from one of them in just to fill in a couple parts from the other one. Just to fill it in, because we needed to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and also one of them, or maybe. Yeah, I think it was the first episode. Your mic wasn't on, it wasn't even on. You guys, I was giving like all the goods, like I was like on a on a roll and my mic wasn't even on. That's going to happen. It's going to happen, just saying. It's a little fun now, because now we can talk about it and have fun with it.
Speaker 3:That's a good story, right and we're. We are 11 episodes in and we haven't done that again.
Speaker 1:Right. We have to. Might as well get it done sooner rather than later. Get those hiccups out. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I just cursed us. Oh, great Thanks.
Speaker 1:Seriously have fun with this. I mean, obviously there's always a goal at the end of the day when you put on a project like this. But have fun, enjoy the journey, you know, give yourself grace, show up, continue, get better each episode, and that's really what it is, oh absolutely so.
