So many times we identify ourselves not by our values or beliefs but by what we DO. I'm a cashier, or I work in accounts payable, the warehouse. That may be what you DO, but it may not be who you are.
Podcasting allows you to reinvent who you are. To be your true self.
Today we talk with Scot McCarthy of the Moving Forward Leadership Podcast.
Scott joined the military when he was 18 and will be retiring soon, so he is using podcasting to reinvent himself and help establish himself in the space of leadership.
I love that Scott knows it's not easy to start a business and that why I brought him on. You need to dig the well BEFORE your thirsty. Scott doesn't have a month-week plan, he has a five YEAR plan. He constantly researching to work smarter, to better understand his audience (through Facebook groups), and hiring people for those things he needs help with. He's not talking into a phone set on speaker and looking for money to fall from heaven.
Can I Play Music in My Podcast?
When it comes to legal questions in the entertainment space there is one (and only one name) and that is Gordon Firemark
Gordon helps answer that question along with a new spin on that question. What if they perform the song live on my podcast (or for those older DJ's they did on your show) can I play that recording (it's a different recording than the one on the record).
What about fair use? Keep in mind that fair use is the defense you use when you go to court.

Sorry Dave if I am the bearer of bad news but there was some digital artifacting occurring, mostly in the back part of ep. 769. Here are some time stamp examples.. 26:55, 27:19, 27:40, 27:54, 29:05 & 29:27, Just something you might want to look into especially before that guy over at the Podcast Rodeo Show decides to review this show and slams the audio quality!! He’ll probably say something like this guy Dave is using a blue Yeti wrong and it’s making his voice go all Cylonie!! Hope you had a great Easter weekend!!
Lee,
Thanks so much. Been having weird problems with my computer and was unaware those were making it into the recording.
