Welcome to this special episode of the Building Leadership Community Podcast!

Coach Dora Mendez is joined by her husband and podcast producer, Dylan Rogers, to answer your most frequently asked questions about launching a podcast. This episode is dedicated to providing you with the tools and strategies you need to finally share your voice with the world.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Getting Started: The first step is to create your podcast blueprint by defining your show's purpose and mission.
  • We recommend using AI tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm titles, craft taglines, and outline episodes.
  • Audio vs. Video: While audio is the easiest way to start, video offers a much bigger payoff, allowing you to use content on platforms like YouTube and for social media clips.
  • AI tools can also help you create show notes and social posts from your transcripts.
  • Essential Equipment: You don't need a fancy studio. The bare minimum includes a reliable computer, a decent USB microphone, headphones, and a quiet space.
  • For recording, we use StreamYard, but other options like Riverside FM and Zoom also work.
  • Launch Strategy: To make a great first impression, you need a high-quality cover image and compelling show notes.
  • Dylan, a professional graphic designer, uses Photoshop for their cover art, but recommends Canva for beginners.
  • For video editing, he uses Adobe Premiere but suggests iMovie as a good option for those just starting.
  • Saving Time: If you don't have the time to do it all yourself, you have two options.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
