I am celebrating my 20th year in podcasting this month. To celebrate, I’m bringing back my Podcast Answer Man podcast into regular production starting next week.

I’m also going to be brining back my Podcasting A to Z course starting in January.

 

Stay tuned... New episode coming next week!

 

In this episode I return to my Podcast Answer Man roots and share an in-depth review of my newest and most unexpected favorite piece of podcast gear. The Zoom PodTrak P4next!

This tiny device delivers almost everything I rely on from the Rodecaster Pro 2 at a fraction of the size and a fraction of the cost, coming in at only $179.

I'll walk you through how I discovered it, my initial skepticism, and why seeing the Zoom name made me give it a chance. I'm so glad I did.

I'll share what the Zoom PodTrak P4next does, how I'm using it, why it has already earned a permanent place in my travel setup, and why I might even replace my Rodecaster Pro 2 in the studio.

I recorded this episode from the front seat of my car to demonstrate how powerful this device is for portable recording. You'll hear the quality of the preamps and the impressive noise reduction capabilities in action.

I talk about the power options, multitrack capability, four XLR inputs, mix-minus support, sound pads, four independently controlled headphone outputs, built in audio recorder and more.

I also share the story of why this little recorder solves technical problems I have carried for years.

If you have been looking for a reliable way to record multiple microphones on the road, or if you want to build a complete podcast studio that fits in a backpack, this episode will show you how simple, and inexpensive, it can be.

Portable Gear Recommendations

Many listeners and viewers ask for my current recommendations for a complete portable recording setup. Here's the list with affiliate links.

Primary Device

Zoom PodTrak P4next - https://amzn.to/4rA85fY

Microphone Options

Heil PR-40 - https://amzn.to/4iofavZ

If you want something more portable, my long-time favorite was the Audio Technica ATR-2100. It is no longer manufactured, so my best current guess for a quality budget dynamic mic is the Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone found at https://amzn.to/4rgUIBf

Cables

Three foot XLR mic cables - https://amzn.to/43UbqMC

Stands

Portable mic stand options - https://amzn.to/3MmDMJf

Headphones

Sony MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0apwo

Replacement ear pads for the MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0gj0z

Closing Thought

If this episode inspires you to pick up the Zoom PodTrak P4next, I would love to hear about it. Send me an email and let me know how this episode inspired you. My email is Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com.

 

In this podcast episode, I interview my dear friend Jessica Rhodes about her podcast guesting service business, Interview Connections, which she started in 2013.

Over the past decade, her business has become a powerful entity that helps individuals reach their ideal clients and expand their audience.

Listen in to learn valuable tips on how to make a strong impact when given the opportunity to be a guest on other people's podcasts.

Hear are just a few of the key insights from this episode

• Appearing as a guest on other podcasts has proven to be the most effective method for reaching your ideal clients and exposing your message to a large audience.
• Over the past decade, I have referred numerous clients to Interview Connections and have received entirely positive feedback.
• The importance of thorough preparation for podcast interviews cannot be overstated. This includes researching the host and having a clear call to action.
• Having a clear call to action is important, but possessing unwavering confidence in the value of your course of action is the key to eliciting responses.
• There is a need to be fully present and engaged during interviews to establish a connection with the listeners and hosts.
• Using a clear, compelling "one sheet" to make it easy for hosts to say yes and ask questions that help you achieve your goals.
• Audience size numbers from directories are not accurate or transparent, and the right audience is more important than a large size.
• Thorough onboarding, training, and pitching over multiple months is important for services like Interview Connections to deliver top-notch results.
• Authenticity and vulnerability build strong business relationships, and local employees provide personalized service better than outsourcing.
• Referral partnerships can help promote services when there is trust, integrity, and a track record of success.
• Ongoing coaching can help overcome mindset blocks keeping clients from achieving their goals.
• Jessica Rhodes has been running her "Interview Connections" podcast guesting service for over a decade. Our conversation in this podcast episode has convinced me to be a long-term advocate for her company.

I fully endorse Jessica Rhodes and her podcast booking services. Book a call with Jessica today at InterviewConnections.com. Let her know that Cliff sent you.

In today's episode, I share a transformative conversation highlighting how one coaching session can shift years of aspirations into rapid reality.

Recently, I had the pleasure of coaching Ryan Hamilton, a visionary who had been nurturing the dream of launching his own podcast and becoming an industry thought leader for seven years. During our intensive 90-minute session, Ryan sought to break free from the shackles of perfectionism and to gain momentum on his journey. We focused on practical steps that would empower him to "get the train out of the station" and bring his long-awaited passion project to the world.

This episode underscores a vital lesson: the 'perfect' time or idea is a myth that often impedes progress. Taking incremental, yet deliberate, steps can ignite a powerful chain reaction, propelling your dreams into existence. It’s about progress, not perfection.

My hope is that Ryan’s story and our coaching conversation inspire you to translate your intentions into tangible steps. Remember, starting with even the smallest act can lay the groundwork for greater achievements. And if you’re seeking guidance or a collaborative brainstorm to advance your objectives, I'm here to lend my expertise.

For those interested in exploring the Next Level Mastermind or a one-on-one coaching relationship, reach out to me directly at Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com and use “Coaching” as your email subject. Let's make your vision a reality, together.

In this info-packed episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend and fellow online business expert Ray Edwards to dive deep into why we believe Kajabi is the ultimate all-in-one platform for online business owners.

Ray and I take a trip down memory lane to remember the "bad old days" of cobbling together a frankenstein's monster of different tools, services, and platforms just to create and sell an online course or membership site. We share horror stories of downtime, limited storage and bandwidth, security issues, and the general hassle of managing it all.

We then explain how Kajabi changed everything for us and made our online businesses infinitely easier to manage. Key benefits I discuss include:

• Robust website hosting with amazing uptime and security
• Unlimited storage for videos, audios, PDFs, images - No Caps!
• Unlimited bandwidth - no traffic overage charges
• Built-in payment processing, coupons, subscriptions, etc.
• Full featured email marketing and automation
• Easy course and membership site creation
• Podcast hosting and distribution
• Webinars, coaching, and live streaming
• Affiliate program tracking and payments
• Page builder and templates optimized for marketing and sales
• Active user community for peer support
• And so much more!

And all this for just $159/month on the Growth plan! Ray and I agree this is an amazing value compared to paying for individual tools and services.

Whether you're just starting out or already have an established online business, Kajabi has everything you need to create, market, sell, and deliver your digital products and services all in one place.

Listen now to hear our full discussion and decide for yourself if Kajabi could be a gamechanger for your online business!

During the session, Kristy posted the following question in the chat: "I need courage to start a blog that I can monetize. Do you have any words of wisdom? I've tried starting a blog in the past but struggled with maintaining consistency. I don't want to fall into old habits. Please advise. Thanks!"

In response, I shared a powerful story to illustrate why Kristy may have been struggling to find the courage to consistently create content for her blog and take the necessary steps towards monetizing it. Following this, I discussed the most common mistake that bloggers and podcasters make when they are looking to establish an online business, and offered advice on how to avoid falling into the same trap.
