BRX Pro Tip: Use Your Calendar to Get Things Done Transcript

Stone Payton: Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, we all got a lot to do and we all enjoy doing it, at least, here in the Business RadioX family. But you’re a big proponent of using your calendar to get things done. What do you mean by that?

Lee Kantor: Yeah, I live by my calendar. So, in order for me to know what’s happening in my life, I have to look at my calendar, and I act accordingly. So, I try to leverage the technology to help me, help myself. And if I want to do something, it has to be scheduled. If it’s not on the calendar, if I’m not seeing it, I’ll just forget about it. It won’t kind of rise to the level of importance that I’m going to pay attention to it. So, knowing that that’s kind of a crutch and a weakness for me, I have to put things in the calendar to get things done. Like we put these podcasts, do these BRX Tips in the calendar, so we know that it gets done every single week. We put in when we have a house show, or we have a planning meeting, or we have time with Angie to talk about how are we serving our clients. That’s all in the calendar scheduled, so that we can make sure that it gets done every single week reliably.

Lee Kantor: And I think it’s important as you grow your business or you grow your show that you put in time for kind of deep thinking, you know, thinking about strategically what kind of relationships that you can leverage, who can you connect people to. You know, put 30 minutes, you know, every week, who can I connect with you? Just put connect. And then, connect some people for 30 minutes. Put in social media, just put it in the calendar, check email, put it in the calendar, and only do the work during those windows of time. That way, it all gets done. And then, you control your time instead of your time controlling you.

Stone Payton: Well, I got to tell you, I’ll just admit straight up, I really bristled with this idea at first because you brought it up years ago wanting to do that for both of us because there a lot of things that we necessarily do together. And now, I feel like it has the same sort of set of benefits that having a good strong budget does. It doesn’t confine you. It really liberates you, frees you up, and puts you in a position to make good decisions about, in that case, your money, in this case, your time.

Stone Payton: So, now, that I’ve experienced it with you, I really embrace the idea. I can’t recommend it highly enough, even if it means you go to Thursday, you see you’ve got Thursday between 2:00 and 4:00 carved out for something else. If you’re going to move that, and you’re not going to do that activity, at least, you’re going in eyes wide open and consciously changing what you do between 2:00 and 4:00. But yeah, a good analogy for me is a better way to manage money is to really know where your dollars are going. And I like it. I’m glad you brought it into my work life.

BRX Pro Tip: Ways to Leverage Your Interview Transcript

Stone Payton: And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, we just finished this morning doing a handful of very fun, enlightening, inspiring, informative interviews from the guests’ perspective. Let’s go through some ways that they can leverage their interview.

Lee Kantor: Right. I think it’s really important to encourage and even educate your guests on ways to leverage the interview once the interview is completed, and that might be done either through the email after their interview, you go, “Here’s some ways to leverage it,” but it also might be done maybe on a drip e-mail campaign where every few days, you remind them of, “Hey, here’s an example of how somebody leveraged their interview on Instagram,” or “Here’s a way that someone took a clip out on and made their own little mini podcast or did a frequently asked questions.” But to list some of the ways that a person can leverage their interview are, obviously, the podcast can be repurposed, transcription of the podcast can be used in a variety of ways, including twits, blog posts, articles, lots of ways to leverage the words. It can be placed on their website. It can be placed in their email newsletter. It could be shared. Actually, didn’t somebody do this, they took a clip and made it there hold music?

Stone Payton: Yeah. So, now, you’re an introvert, and you’re no social media genius. It’s not your superpower. Do you have like a go-to method? Just one that, you know, just anytime, you should always do this one.

Lee Kantor: Well, something that happened today after today’s interview, I saw on LinkedIn a friend of mine commented, said, “Oh, you’re having this person today on the GWBC Radio Show.” And what I did back was I thanked her. I said, “Yeah, she was a great guest.” I tagged her, and I tagged the other two guests that were in the interview. And I said that they can listen to that, and I put it the website for gwbcradio.com on the LinkedIn. So, I kind of held up the guest through my LinkedIn post, and share that, and liked it to help everybody that participated in the interview. So, you know, our way of doing most of this stuff is to hold other people up. But the people who have participated in the interview, that’s something else they can do is they can share their interview and just tag all the people that were in the show with them.

Stone Payton: I think that’s a marvelous idea. And I think that’s very endearing to people to shine the light on other people. You’re still to come along for the ride. You’re still the on that clip. But had a great opportunity to visit with and listen to Joe Smith today. You know, take a listen.

Lee Kantor: Right. But the thing is you have to educate and encourage the guests to do this because a lot of the times, they’re too busy, and they’ve moved on. So, if you show them the path, they will follow it.

BRX Pro Tip: Hosting Mechanics – Share a Story Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here. Lee, let’s talk about some hosting mechanics. Today, specifically, let’s talk about having the guest share a story.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:14] Yeah. This is something that I listen to a lot of podcasts and a lot of the hosts are not doing a great job in giving their guests an opportunity to share a story. Sharing stories are the things that are going to be memorable for the audience that is listening and it’s going to make the guests feel good that they’re getting to share this story. It’s going to make them feel good. And the reason that personal stories resonate with people and are remembered is that they are personal, that these are things that really happen to them.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:45] And it really shows a way that they can get value from the interview, because they can pull that story out and they can use it and re-purpose it. In their website, they can use it in a newsletter, they can use them in a variety of ways. And storytelling is kind of at the heart of the emotional feeling that you get, the benefit that you get when you’re in the studio. People like to share stories. They like to feel like that they’re making a difference. They like to be heard.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:13] And our platform is a perfect place for these stories to be told, because we’re not trying to embarrass them. We’re not trying to humiliate them. We’re trying to get them to tell these stories. So, just make it a discipline that when you are doing an interview to take a moment to ask a story that illustrates whatever the point that they were making. Do you have a success story? Can you share a story about the mistake that you made? Give them and kind of an opening for them to share a story that will make them feel heard and that will make an impact with their audience.

Stone Payton: [00:01:45] And I’d like to give the guest a little heads up that we are going to do that during the course of our conversation with them on the air just because everyone is not necessarily a natural storyteller or naturally prepared to share a story. We all should be, those of us in business, but not everyone is. So, I think it’s good mojo during the soundcheck just to let them know, “When we’re doing your segment and we’re going to talk about your work, and yes, we got the questions that you submitted. And somewhere in there, I’m going to ask you to share a brief story, if you would, you know, a success story.” So, just be thinking about that. So, that seems to take the pressure off and to Lee’s point, wow, just how much more rich that content is. And it makes the guest experience that much better and certainly, the material that much better.
