100 Podcast Episodes in 100 Days

 I am interviewing people about their brand stories and, more importantly, brand storytellers

about Brand Storytelling in the Digital Age on my Podcast - BrandAPeel

"I peel back the layer to get to the core of the story."
 - Shannon Peel

Well, like most of what I do an idea pops into my head and I jump off the cliff to see what will happen - which is the OPPOSITE of what I recommend clients do. All it is costing me to test the market is time... and I don't have a life beyond creating content and telling brand stories.

For those who don't have time and need to hire help to produce a podcast, you must first research what people want and how to

position your brand into the market.

Let me do the research of jumping in, talking to brand storytelling experts, and listening to what people are engaging with to discover what is going on out there. Then I'll have the knowledge you need to be more successful in your efforts.

When I re-started my podcast at the end of January, I was shocked by how many people were contacting me to talk to me about brand storytelling. Before I knew it, I had over 70 booking requests and I didn't want to make any of them wait a year before their episode was published - so I was posting one episode a day for 2 weeks and as people listened to my podcast - I had more people contacting me to talk about brand storytelling.

Trying to get content for APeeling digital magazine was like pulling teeth at times and the readership was only 2 000 per monthly issue - Podcasting gives quality backlinks, appointments with interesting people, blog posts for UnPeeled, and content for future issues of APeeling.

I could have chosen to record audio versions of my blog posts, which would be easy and take me all of 30 minutes to one hour a day — BUT …

Those who know me know, I don’t do anything half assed. I never take the easy way out or cut corners. I always deliver an unexpected experience.

As usual … I am committed to ensuring listeners receive a quality experience.

If I had a team - this wouldn't be a big deal because I'd have people helping me do all the work and where would the struggle, challenge, or conflict be in this brand story?

 I am a solopreneur doing it ALL while still keeping up with client work to pay the bills and keeping up with my many other content projects. So it's a big commitment for me.

All stories need stakes and I am putting my reputation as someone who gets stuff done and hits deadlines by delivering quality products at risk since I just told the Internet I am doing this.

Do it or ruin my brand's reputation.

To manage expectations and to answer those questions the odd troll may have. I am including posts from February 15 to today, March 5th in the 100 Podcast Episodes in 100 days.

Tell me what you think in the comments

Of the 100 Episodes, at least 71 interviews with people about brand storytelling with weekends being an update on how the week went, some highlights I learned, and housekeeping for this project.

 Is there anything else YOU can think of that I need to do? Make a comment below in the comments with your insights.

 I’m 2 weeks in and as you may expect - I’m tired and am working non stop all day - everyday - Hmmm got to figure out how to do this without burning out, got any tips? I’ll even add your tip to a published crowdsourced article on the topic with a link back to you if you give me a url.
 It’s 8:30 - Time to get back to editing so I have enough content to post each day this week. I think I might need to order some white wall padding from Amazon before I’m done.
