Ok, not REALLY, but kinda 🤣⁠
⁠
In this time lapsed video, you get to see my editing process for an episode! Now, this process isn't the exact same for every single show, but there's a lot of similarities, such as...⁠
⁠
✔️ Decreasing persistent background sounds⁠
✔️ Rescuing takes when clipping happens⁠
✔️ Boosting bass for some female speakers⁠
✔️ Reducing the smacking sounds our lips make when talking⁠
✔️ Improving harsh sounds⁠
✔️ Cutting down the strength of plosives⁠
✔️ Shortening long pauses⁠
✔️ Reducing dynamic range⁠
✔️ Adjusting amplitude based on perceived loudness⁠
⁠
Does that sound like a lot? Or did it even make sense? 🤣⁠
⁠
Here's the thing: as an avid podcast listener with very sensitive hearing, I don't do bare basic editing. Honestly, what does that even mean? With pretty much anything I do, I give it my all and everything listed above is part of my foundational editing process. Meaning that every client on any package gets AT LEAST this. That's MY bare basic 😉⁠
⁠
So, why am I sharing this? Well...⁠
1. I think it's cool when folks give us a peek at their behind the scenes work!⁠
2. I don't believe most people (even seasoned podcast hosts) really know what goes on behind the scenes⁠
3. To give you a realistic look into the love, care, + dedication that goes into my promised editing process⁠
⁠
So, wanna have "fun" with a little trivia question? 👇🏼⁠
⁠
On average, how long would it take to edit 30 minutes of audio with just one speaker?⁠
A. 10 - 20 minutes⁠
B. 30mins - 1 hour⁠
C. 1 hour - 2 hours⁠
D. about 4 hours⁠

‎Show Chatting Over Chowder, Ep Organization and Systems in Podcasting with Ronni Hill - Oct 4, 2021

Be honest with me....

How did reading this make you feel?

Right now, I'm working on some actionable tips I want to share with you to implement systems into your podcasting process, but honestly, do you even want that content? Are you open to this kind of feedback? 🤔

When people ask "How's it going!" how many times can I say, "It's a journey," before it gets old?

I took this photo last week and I'm in love. I made it the wallpaper on my phone and last night, I looked at it and said...

"I love you"

To say that this last week has been rough is an understatement. I made a decision to put myself first. To get acquainted with my truest self. The full moon was Monday and I woke up at 3:30 in the morning on full alert. There was something calling in me to just let go. To release. And I chose to answer.

The last few years for me have definitely been a journey and I feel I'm ALWAYS trying to "figure it out" and I'm honestly tired of it. I don't believe we ever get "there," but really, I'd at least like a pit stop along the way. Maybe at a nice resort? 😅

This felt like the longest week ever. I have no idea what this new week has in store for me, but I'm sharing this as a reminder to myself why I'm doing this in the first place.

That's all. 💛☺️

I found myself wide awake in the early hours of today. That's very unlike me. I love my sleep and if I can sleep a little longer, I often will.

But, something was just stirring in me and had me wide awake when I woke up in the middle of the night.

If you follow the moon cycles, you may know there's a full moon today. I've read that it's a time when energy peaks. You can feel very emotional. And I thought, that's what it is.

For the last few days, I've felt my emotions growing and growing. My mind has been churning and churning. So, when I realized that thoughts were racing through my mind and I felt my emotions throughout my body, I chose to meditate. To ground myself. I got up, lit my candles, grabbed my crystals, set intentions, and prayed.

There's no marketing reason for me to share this with you. I have no end-of-the-story lesson for you. Simply, I wanted to share this with you. I hope that, if there's anything holding you back from what you truly want, that you're able to become aware of it and release it. 💛

Let me guess...⁠
⁠
✔️ You've picked your music.⁠
✔️ You've got your awesome cover art done.⁠
✔️ You've even gotten your first episode recorded!⁠
⁠
But now... you just feel stuck. Everything from here just seems like so much work! ⁠
⁠
Sure, there's tons of articles and videos out there on how to do everything you have to do next. And the people in those Facebook groups are always saying, "Just do it yourself!" Girl, you've even been through a course on how to do this exact thing. But really, you're stuck figuring out what the next best thing is to do to launch your show.⁠
⁠
Listen, it's ok to feel... well, overwhelmed. ⁠
⁠
I mean, wouldn't it just be so nice to have someone sit down with you and get everything you need to do planned out in just a day? Because that's exactly what I'm doing over here. ⁠
⁠
Your dream show deserves to come off the shelves and get out into the world. And I can tell you exactly what you need to do next and assist you in getting so many steps closer to certainty.
⁠
I'm here to empower stuck + overwhelmed podcasters just like you who are ready-to-launch, but really want someone to clearly lay it all out for them. ⁠
⁠
If that's you, it's time to choose your next adventure:⁠
A. Comment below, "It's me! Let's talk."⁠
B. DM me! (you can say the same thing 🙂)

Today I’m wondering if “Professional Learner” is a route I should explore in life.

I’m an avid course taker. Avid researcher. Avid idea creator / collector. And really, if I can simply spend my time experiencing people’s courses + searching Pinterest for ideas, that’s what I’d be doing. While traveling and exploring, finding delicious foods + off the beaten path experiences to share... 😋

If money + the need to monetize everything we enjoy weren’t an issue, what’s something you could spend so much time doing? 💛

If my business had a dating profile... 😘
⁠
I'm here to let you know (and to remind some) of what it is that I do so you can...⁠
1. decide if my services are a great fit for you⁠
OR⁠
2. refer me to someone you know who's looking⁠
OR⁠
3. stay up to date on where I am in my entrepreneurial journey⁠
⁠
Simply put, I am a Podcast Manager 🎙️⁠
⁠
But, to take it deeper, I love working with creative visionaries who've been managing their production team and are now ready to hand that over to someone else so they can get back to developing ideas to move their business forward. ⁠
⁠
Don't have a team? No worries! My monthly management is pretty much a full-service deal because it covers...⁠
🎧 editing⁠
✍🏼 writing show notes + episode descriptions⁠
🕒 scheduling episode releases in Libsyn⁠
🖥️ scheduling show notes (aka that blog post about your podcast) to your website⁠
🤳🏼 social graphics that include an audiogram + a quote from the episode⁠..just to name a few. ⁠
⁠
If you feel we would be a great match (or you know someone I should meet), shoot me a message + let's see where this thing goes!

🗣️WHAT TIME IS IT!! It's time for me to (re)introduce myself.

Whether you're new or a dear old friend, you're gonna want to read this amazing info to get to know more about this lady 👇🏼

Yesterday, I asked my Instagram folks for questions to answer and they showed up (like a real one)! So, let's jump on in:

1️⃣ Random facts about me (from Leah Bryant Co)
I love struggle meals. Like beans + weenies. Love it! People usually wince when I say this one, but I love rice, eggs, and mayonnaise ☺️ My Nana fed it to me often as a kid + I still love it to this day (also, my Polynesian family eats rice + mayonnaise with EVERYTHING.)

I rarely watch new tv shows. I usually turn on something I've seen a million times + let it play in the background.

And I've worked on podcast shows that have reached 1 million downloads + charted at #1 in multiple countries. ( )

2️⃣ Favorite indulgences (from my boy JayMellz)
I honestly think I indulge in everything I eat (I've got the body to prove it - no shame!). Eating is such an experience for me + if it's not amazing, it's truly a disappointment. BUT! To give an actual answer - ice cream + cheesecake.

3️⃣ Fave way to treat myself, to do self care (from Baking Sweet Scents LLC)
Ooh, baths + food. I really got into baths last year to help with my anxiety + sleep, and it's one of the most pleasurable things I do now! I get bath salts, candles, and music and just soak in the warmth...

4️⃣ And last but surely not least, my dream vacation (from Wholehearted Coaching)
I'm so excited for this one! My dream vacay is 3 months long. Yep. 3. My first month is spent in Bali. Disconnected and immersed in a culture I know very little about. My second month, I'm exploring allover Europe. Spain, France, Italy, Greece, alluhdat. My final month is spent getting closer to my roots in Hawaii and Samoa. My uncle has a house in Samoa + I think it would be such a great opportunity to experience the island + culture.

How's that for an introduction?

I truly appreciate these phenomenally talented folks that created these questions for me!

So, now, tell me about yourself? Pick one of the questions (or more) and share your responses in the comments below.

If you're like me, you probably listen to a podcast or 2 on a regular basis. (If so, head straight to the comments + let me know one of your favorites!)

But you may just show your love to those shows by simply tuning in. But, did you know that there are several ways to support your shows that can make a difference?

Here are 5 simple ways to support your favorite shows + we're making it fun by basing them on your love languages (because they definitely expand beyond your romantic relationships 😉)

Words of Affirmation 💌 Write a thoughtful review
When words affirm, support, + uplift you, you have one of the most requested forms of support easily available. There are 4 places you can share your supportive words for your favorite show: Apple Podcasts (by far, the most popular), Castbox, Podcast Addict, + Podchaser.

Quality Time 🕗 Spend time checking out their freebie/opt-in/offer
You feel most loved when someone gives you their undivided attention. You can do the same for your favorite podcaster by checking out their special offer. Most podcast hosts shout out a freebie or a new offer during an episode. Head to the URL they mention (or find it in their episode description or show notes).

Physical Touch 🤝 Grab some show merchandise
When nothing speaks more deeply to you than touch, it may be harder to figure out how to express your love to audio. If your favorite sells merchandise, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to get your hands on something that reminds you of your favorite host(s)!

Receiving Gifts 🎁💝 Donate to their show
Getting a heartfelt gift makes you feel so loved. You can also give a gift to your favorite podcaster. Some shows receive donations through platforms like Patreon. Your favorite may even have the option for a premium subscription which gives you more as a gift in return.

Acts of Service 💁🏽‍♀️💛 Download the show for a friend
You can express your love by not only sharing your favorite show with a friend, but showing them how they can listen. Podcasting is still new to so many people. Help your friend out by showing where they can listen on their phone, downloading an app, or even subscribing to the show for them.

I recently did a "Brave Ask." I chose a few people who are (or once were) close to me in different areas of my life and asked them 3 questions. One of those was "How do I make you feel when you’re with me?"

It was very insightful + I was surprised to know that, for most of those people, I made them feel comfortable, like they belonged. I made them feel seen.

My heart is melting just thinking about it now. Looking back over my client testimonials, I saw that I was extending this same experience to clients, too. This message from Angela of B Major Piano Studio LLC always lights me up because she highlights that I made her feel like she MATTERS. I mean, WOW.

Of course you matter! As a woman. As a business owner. As a soulful being experiencing this life.

Getting this feedback has really opened my eyes and made clear this dream I've been carrying in my heart for quite some time. Needless to say, this exercise was fuel to light that fire so I could see the vision more clearly. But that's an announcement I'll make down the line. 😘

For now, I want to remind you that you matter and it's as simple as that. Do you know how you make others feel when they're with you?
