Summer hiatus before the relaunch & some exciting news

Johnny: 00:00:00

Welcome to the show.

Johnny: 00:00:01

Well, not really a show.

Johnny: 00:00:02

This is me giving you a little bit of an update as to what

Johnny: 00:00:06

is happening with the show.

Johnny: 00:00:08

So hi, it is Johnny, from Speaking Influence seem to be Podfluence.

Johnny: 00:00:12

I know some of you have been expecting that the new show, the relaunch

Johnny: 00:00:17

was going to be happening this month, July as I'm releasing this.

Johnny: 00:00:22

And some things have been going on here, good things that does mean

Johnny: 00:00:26

it's going to be a bit longer.

Johnny: 00:00:28

I started a new job working with Kevin Chemidlin and the team at Grow The

Johnny: 00:00:33

Show, and because of that, because it's a full-time job as well, I really

Johnny: 00:00:38

want to commit the time and energy needed into working with Kevin and

Johnny: 00:00:45

the team and delivering the best of me that I can deliver to that

Johnny: 00:00:49

commitment that I've made to them.

Johnny: 00:00:50

So I'm honestly very excited for this role.

Johnny: 00:00:53

I really did not expect that I would be landing a position working with

Johnny: 00:00:57

Kevin and his team at Grow The Show.

Johnny: 00:01:00

And honestly, a wonderful people and I'm learning a lot about sales, about

Johnny: 00:01:04

podcasting I and all sorts of things that I would never have imagined at the start

Johnny: 00:01:09

of the year that I would be moving into.

Johnny: 00:01:11

I'm thrilled to be working in the podcasting industry and helping other

Johnny: 00:01:15

podcasters out, helping them get on the path to growth and monetization

Johnny: 00:01:19

and becoming full time podcasters for those who are looking to do that.

Johnny: 00:01:23

And certainly I feel about Podfluence when it is officially launched is going to be

Johnny: 00:01:30

a very nice companion to Grow The Show.

Johnny: 00:01:33

And in my conversation with Kevin, he's agreed as well.

Johnny: 00:01:36

So that's a very nice alignment between what I'm going to be doing with confluence

Johnny: 00:01:40

and what he's doing with grow the show.

Johnny: 00:01:43

So I hope you'll check out his show as well, especially if you are a podcaster

Johnny: 00:01:46

who is looking to have audience growth, and monetize your show or maybe have

Johnny: 00:01:51

more business coming through to you through podcasting and perhaps even make

Johnny: 00:01:55

your own podcast a full-time interest.

Johnny: 00:01:59

But for Podfluence, whilst there's some amazing guests coming up, I mean,

Johnny: 00:02:03

I'm still going to be recording some interviews and I still have some amazing

Johnny: 00:02:07

interviews in the bank already with people like Bob Gentle, who was great

Johnny: 00:02:12

to chat to Lee Carter, talking about influence Simon, Lancaster, who I spoke

Johnny: 00:02:18

to as he launched his new book 'Connect',

Johnny: 00:02:21

I know some of you are really looking forward to that episode coming out

Johnny: 00:02:24

and it should have been this month.

Johnny: 00:02:26

That was the original plan, but, you know, Best laid plans and all that.

Johnny: 00:02:30

It has been the right decision for me to decide, to take a break for the summer.

Johnny: 00:02:35

Which was initially just going to be August.

Johnny: 00:02:37

But now I realized August is not the best months to be launching a show.

Johnny: 00:02:41

So I'm actually taking a couple of months off.

Johnny: 00:02:43

I'm still going to be producing episodes and getting stuff ready.

Johnny: 00:02:46

I'm just not going to be publishing them.

Johnny: 00:02:48

So I'm taking a bit of pressure off myself to stick to that publication

Johnny: 00:02:52

schedule for the next few months.

Johnny: 00:02:54

And then going to be coming back bigger, better, stronger, faster, all of that, in

Johnny: 00:03:00

September with Podfluence, with a new show and a new theme music, new descriptions.

Johnny: 00:03:06

I mean just everything.

Johnny: 00:03:07

I'm learning so much about podcasting from working with a group of professional

Johnny: 00:03:11

podcasters and also, just from Kevin who is such an expert on these things.

Johnny: 00:03:18

So I hope that you'll be enjoying Podfluence when it does come.

Johnny: 00:03:21

If you are subscribed to the show, please stay subscribed.

Johnny: 00:03:24

Just know there's not going to be any episodes coming out until

Johnny: 00:03:27

September, whilst we take this break.

Johnny: 00:03:30

So, please do stick with us for that.

Johnny: 00:03:33

And I hope that you understand why the show is going to be going away.

Johnny: 00:03:36

I know about, I.

Johnny: 00:03:37

I'm already having those worries of that entrepreneurial, that podcast

Johnny: 00:03:41

guilt of taking breaks when I've been doing such a consistent publication

Johnny: 00:03:46

schedule with the show and that guilt is not like I'm not going to be doing

Johnny: 00:03:50

anything, but I'm not going to be doing the podcast publication for a little

Johnny: 00:03:54

while because I want to get my relaunch

Johnny: 00:03:56

right.

Johnny: 00:03:57

And I want to make the show even bigger and better than it is now.

Johnny: 00:04:02

And sorry, I hope you will understand that, and bear with me through

Johnny: 00:04:06

this time, and I'm very excited for what we'll be bringing you when

Johnny: 00:04:10

the show does eventually relaunch.

Johnny: 00:04:12

In September.

Johnny: 00:04:13

For you listening wherever you are right now, and for my guests who are expecting

Johnny: 00:04:18

those episodes to be coming out in July.

Johnny: 00:04:20

It's going to be a little bit longer, but I hope you understand,

Johnny: 00:04:23

and that you'll bare with me.

Johnny: 00:04:25

And I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again in September.

Johnny: 00:04:30

Wherever you're going whatever you're doing have an amazing summer and
