In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Mea Culpa" with Jeffrey Broer based on his successful Postmortem Conferences in Hong Kong on the lessons learned in startups. In Startup Mea Culpa Jeff interviews people who are open about their entrepreneurship journey, the decisions they made that turned out poorly, what they learned from it and what the impact on their life has been. Jeff has contributed greatly to the local startup scene in Hong Kong and thus, we're excited to review this podcast. If you're not naturally chatty, what kind of questions can you ask to get things going? How do you know when to go "off script"? How should you end your podcast? These questions and more are discussed in this podcast which is sure to be a favourite of anyone that dares to call himself or herself an entrepreneur in Hong Kong.

For this review we will focus on his March 26, 2020 episode - Both sides of the table with Fritz Demopoulus.

In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Forever is a Long Time" by Ian Coss. A "one-off" production, Ian has delivered a masterpiece combining interviewing, storytelling, music, and personal reflection showcasing the power of the medium. Over the course of 5 episodes, through interviews, reflections and discussions with his wife, Ian Coss documents the circumstances around how every living member of his family, who had ever been married, had also gotten divorced. How can a single podcast series of just a few related episodes build your brand? Why does editing matter? What makes this so powerful to listen to? How does Ian instill such intimacy into this production? These questions and more are discussed in this podcast that The New York Times named as one its "10 Best Podcasts of 2021".

"Forever is a Long Time" was released on August 19, 2021. It can be listened to here:

“Boom shake the room Fire Nation listeners,” in this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Entrepreneurs On Fire" with John Lee Dumas. “EOFire” is an award-winning podcast where “JLD” interviews inspiring entrepreneurs looking for specific gems to share in episodes typically under 30 minutes.

If you're struggling with monetization and looking to see how one of the best in the business has developed a system that includes daily (that’s right daily) podcasts, affiliate marketing, sponsorship, short podcasting advice videos, books, and more, JLD is well worth checking out. Indeed 3,000 episodes and 10 years in the trenches does result in some valuable lessons.

Should you have a mantra for each podcast, like ensuring you deliver “3 Value Bombs” per episode? Can you be too over the top? Can being the hardest working guy in the industry pay off? Are entrepreneurship-focused podcasts the easiest ticket if profitability is your main goal? How important is relatability to your audience when it comes to podcasting? These questions and more are discussed in this podcast which is worth a listen just to understand what’s possible if you dedicate yourself to the craft and work your tail off!

For this review we will focus on JLD’s December 3, 2021 episode: Isolation is the Enemy of Excellence with Aaron Walker.
