I started Diabetes Connections in the summer of 2015 because – like a lot of people who listen to podcasts – I realized that the one I wanted didn’t exist and I had to create it myself.” (13:28) “When you’re in radio and television, crazy funny things happen, and you just go with it.” (20:10) “One of the philosophies I brought over from radio was put your listeners first. Just put your listeners first in any decision you’re trying to make and the decisions will be extremely easy. And that helps me along the way.” (26:36) “I had about 125 listeners per episode after four weeks. But I knew that those were very valuable listeners because they’re older, they have a lot of money and they want to spend it.” (38:28) “I would like to do a talk or be on a panel about selling your show without selling your soul. I think above board ethics help you, help your show and help your listeners.” (45:11) “One place that I’ve grown is in really letting my interviewees breath. I’m less afraid of silence than I was in the beginning.” (49:51) “It’s one of the wonderful things about podcasting in that you really can be less than perfect if you’re trying and you’re genuine and you’re open.” (54:38) THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupPodfest Expo Virtual SummitStacey’s PodcastDiabetes Connections WebsiteStacey’s Books: The World’s Worst Diabetes MomI Can’t Cook, But I Know Someone Who CanStacey’s InstagramDiabetes Connections TwitterDiabetes Connections FacebookDiabetes Connections YouTube ChannelChris Snider’s Mark All That Apply PodcastShe Podcasts Live WebsiteDexcom Website?Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
