Hey, everyone, this is Dave, I'm back again for a special,
special little conversation. 


This is going to be the start of a series that is going to
document the process of building a new podcast from the ground up
with my partner, Greg Keenan, from the fly fishing insider
podcast.


And we are going to launch a new podcast.  it's it's called
we speak trout.


And definitely give this up to Greg.  This is his concept
idea. He came to me and pitched it to me and definitely sounds
like a great, I've been really wanting to keep expanding. As you
know, I'm hot on the podcasting. I know the power of podcasting,
it's huge, it can do a lot for your business.


And this is just one way we're going to actually help contribute
something new. Something that we hope that we can build a
business around, but at the same time help a community of people
with a focus on trout fishing.


So just want to give the first little heads up here that we have
this going. This isn't going to be long. I'm hoping to do these
things. I'm just kind of thinking out loud. 


Maybe, if I could do weekly, I guess right now I could bust out
probably four episodes on different topics of what we have going
and then post all those as different little snippets little
podcast. So that would kind of be cool to do, I think and then
I'll still have the regular right now the regular episodes, the
interviews I do are popping out every every two weeks.


 So I think the idea the concept of we speak trout, the idea
here is that we're going to Greg and I are going to get on a call
weekly and just talk about fishing with folks on trout fishing,
we might have a new guest that comes on each week, we might have,
you know, depending on what we have going it will be, based on
you know, based on the topic and the guest, but we'll be digging
into a new idea. And I just kind of was thinking talking to Greg,
now we were kind of talking every day about this. So it's it's
cool. But so that's kind of the fly fishing concept. But really
the business, the nuts and bolts is I think will be cool for you
to follow, because I guess we're gonna be posting this on, you
know, on the outdoors online on the marketing podcast. So to see
how we're doing it. And how we're really going to focus it in the
power is that what the to podcast, Greg and I both have two of
the leading podcasts in the fly fishing space. And that power
along with the community of people we built, we're going to help
launch this thing into the atmosphere. So that's the goal is to
launch this thing off. And what have we done so far, so far, we
have a Google we have Gmail, you can send the email to
wespeaktrout@gmail.com we've got a Google drivers just kind of
just slowly we're planning for this launch in February. And so
we've given ourselves more than a couple months, more than you
know, a few months to really get this going slowly, because we
want to get it all prepared and launch. So ready to launch this
thing out. And we don't have a lot of other distractions. So, you
know, we're just kind of all the little steps of the podcast, you
can go, I'll put a link in the show notes to the podcasting
challenge, which is a 30 day challenge. And ROI can be 30 days,
or it can be whatever you need it to be, but I'm going to be
walking through that each step of the way on, you know, what
we're doing to launch and maybe that'd be a fun thing to do. As
all, as I as I get these things. You know, each week, these tasks
completed all kind of do a summary of where we're at. So and
actually, I can click over right now. But we had a task list of
kind of a spreadsheet of things to do. And we're working our way
through that. And, and the first thing is really coming up with
some of the nuts and bolts, Greg's working on the website. So
I'll circle back around, let you know how that goes when that's
up. And you could take a look at that.


And so yeah, this will be cool, because, you know, part of this
will be you're going to be able to watch the process from a
business perspective, but also it's going to be a fly fishing
resource for for you for everybody, you know, to direct people to
So, so pretty excited about this it right now is November, early
November, mid November. And so it's gonna be right around the
corner to launch this so I wanted to give you just that heads up
and I think this will be a fun little project along the way if
you have any other feedback, you know, different things we can do
and I think probably guests I have from here on out for a little
while. are going to be focused on how to help grow this podcast
show. So this is gonna be a full thing. You know, and if that's
not what you're into, maybe let me know. But I'm hoping that you
know, part of this, what I'm doing is to inspire you to start a
podcast because I'm, I'm hot on podcasting, this is only going to
continue to grow the reach and a good way to you know, the
stories and talking about your brand. That's a critical piece.
So, I'm going to keep this thing below 10 minutes because this is
the little intro I'm not sure how, when I'm going to plug this in
how I'm gonna do it. Maybe I'll just get it out there and just
throw it out there. There's just let people kind of see what
we're doing. So anyways, I hope I have time to keep doing this
consistently. I think consistency is is important. So we'll see.
Until the next one, I don't have a signing off thing maybe that's
thing you could do is send me an email, go to a
wespeaktrout@gmail.com and let me know if you have an idea for a
sign off. Like, you know, I don't know we speak trout. It should
be a sign up for outdoors online, I guess, for this new series.
But I'll just go. WE SPEAK trout.
