Mike Malatesta host of How’d It Happen
Tell us about your podcast
- What I'm trying to do is dig really deep into their story of success back to when it happened.
- My goal with the podcast is to use those success stories to inspire, activate and maximize the greatness in everyone that is listening.
What Podcast Rain has happened because of your podcast shows?
- I have become more curious, more intelligent and more inspired as a result of getting to explore this story.
- I get an opportunity to talk with amazing people.
- When people say “I listened to your episode with Elzie and it made a difference in my life”
What things have you done over the years to get better at the craft of podcasting?
- I spend time listening to another podcaster that I admire.
- When I do my transcription, I look to see how much time I spent talking vs how much time the guest spent talking because I want to maintain an 80/20 relationship.
- I feel like my job is to ask questions rather than listen to the answers so I can intelligently walk my way through the flow.
How do you grow your audience?
- The first couple of years I didn't spend much attention in growing my audience. I just really intend to try to get as good as I can get and that was the most important thing for me at that time.
- I have an email list and I transform it into email blog
- I work with a social media expert who helps me with everything.
- I say a sincere thank you to the people who are listening and I ask them for their support.
How do you get value from your show?
- I've built a base of people who recognize me for my talent and skill set that outside of how I`ve made my living, really make myself known in a different way and that sort of planting a seed for a future business.
