Podcasting 101 | Xochitl Carmona

This Saturday, the mentees went through a podcasting intensive to learn all of the ends and outs of podcasting. Xochitl of Werk Mija shared what it takes to make a successful podcast. Xochitl shared that your podcast should be centered around getting leads to your business, recognition, and message. The mentees shared their favorite podcasts and how they connect to the importance of why people have podcasts.

Xochitl explained what a niche is and how it is important to have one to make your podcast stand out. They wrapped the podcast workshop up by going through the logistics of where and how to record as well as how to market their podcast. The mentees then partenered up and applied their skills to creating a welcome episode where each mentee chose the role of either host or guest. It was great to share and hear the epsiodes that they created. Some of our Mentees will be developing podcasts for their businesses. We look forward to sharing more about that soon.

For the continuation of the podcast workshop led by Karina, the mentees dove deeper into the work it takes to create a podcast. They got a chance to record an intro and outro in a professional make-shift booth of our own. They had a lot of fun with this and created some really awesome ideas for a podcast! We hope to see where the mentees take this new knowledge and how it helps them to grow and expand on their great ideas.

In this workshop led by Karina, our mentees got the opportunity to learn about podcasting. Karina has a podcast of her own where she discusses different topics with guests. They learned the basics about what a podcast is, how to create one, different topics you can make a podcast about, and more. They also learned some different platforms to post their podcasts on. Overall, this was a great chance for the mentees to learn something new and exciting about a growing field.

Podcast Workshop

During this workshop Karina one of our board members came in and led a workshop on how to create a podcast. Karina walked our mentees through essential steps that need to be taken in order to create an effective podcast. Our mentees took what they learned from Karina and used their new podcast knowledge to create a podcast of their own!

Thank you Karina for leading our mentees through this workshop!
