After 7 Years and 344 Episodes it is time to say: Thank you and goodnight
Today - February 25th 2025 - marks the seventh anniversary since the first episode of this podcast went live to the world on February 25th 2018
When I first launched the podcast I was advised that the vast majority of new podcast launches don't make it beyond episode seven.
So to have reached 344 episodes in seven years of podcasting seems like a reasonable achievement.
It also feels like the perfect time to draw halt to the Better Presentations More Sales podcast
I started listening to podcasts around 2014 and I remember one of the shows I listened to was a social media marketing podcast hosted by Chris Marr up in Scotland.
On one of his episodes the guest was a chap called Pete Matthew who revealed that he was from Penzance in Cornwall.
Not too far from me in Truro and the first time I've heard anyone from Cornwall on a business podcast.
Pete revealed on the episode that he'd been podcasting himself for quite a number of years.
Knowing I needed some help to get started with podcasting I contacted Pete. He generously gave me his time back in the summer of 2016 and eventually after much procrastination I finally launched the podcast in February 2018.
Ironically Chris Marr would end up being a guest on my show in 2024.
The first 78 episodes were without guests before I worked out how to use Zoom and I interviewed Claire Boscq Scott from Jersey who I met sitting next to at a seminar at the London Business Show in 2019.
Juanita Wheeler from Australia was my final and 130th guest.
I do intend to return with a new podcast linked to presenting skills sometime maybe in the autumn but until then I'm very much focused on developing my on demand presentation and sales pitch training courses.
I would like to say a few thank you's to all the people who made this podcast run for as long as it did.
Firstly Pete Matthew who provided me with the knowledge and encouragement.
My daughter Beth who edited most of the first year or two episodes
Her friend Lauren who provided the voice introduction for the first batch of episodes
My son Jim who provided technical support when I first set up all the recording kit and his friend Robert who created the podcast logos
The 130 guests who have appeared on the show
It often felt like I was getting a one-to-one coaching masterclass so I'm very grateful for them sharing their insights, advice and expertise.
And finally you the listeners of the show
I can't believe it's been seven years - I’ve had a fantastic time and I will be back.
So until then enjoy presenting and speaking and remember don't put too many words on your slides!
