Things You're Doing Correct

  • The audio production is amazing.
  • The sidekick of "Carl" was creative
  • Asked some really good questions and stayed out of the guest's way.
  • As the episode isn't super long, the summaries at the end of a point signaled you were moving on to a new point.
  • Loved the insights and vulnerability
  • The website is clean and very useful
  • Very well put together

 

Things That Might Need Some Buffering

  • The show needs an intro to explain "Here is what we do here." You explain it later in the show. I would move it to the beginning of the show. The description really suggests a name change. Start with the end in mind, and look at who hires you to speak? If you're trying to spotlight soft skills, then tie them back to cyber security.
  • The name is somewhat inside baseball. Maybe add a tagline to make it easier to get found
  • I would’ve added a link to the sponsor and the steve king book in your show notes. I totally missed it in the sidebar.
  • You have a lot of voices and from time to time we're not sure who said what. They all sounded different but we forget who is who.
