About this episode

Get set to master the realms of podcasting, content planning, and even swimming as we embark on an insightful journey with Dustin Miller, a polymath who loves to juggle diverse interests. We promise a deep dive into the world of active listening, a skill that can be a game-changer in every facet of life, and shed light on how we have navigated the choppy waters of technological and organizational challenges. Discover how tools like SquadCast, Notion, and Monday can help you streamline your content planning process, honing your podcasts to perfection.

Switching strokes midstream, we plunge into the pool of remote swimming instruction, an art that Dustin has mastered. Learn about the strategies he employs to help people overcome their fear of water and mentally level up in the pool. We pick his brain on how to structure digital swimming lessons and maybe even spin them into a book! Further downstream, we plunge into the depths of swimming techniques and discuss how content repurposing tools like Opus can give your podcasts the much-needed lifeline.

This episode also serves up a generous helping of analytics and conversion tracking, crucial aspects for anyone looking to measure the success of their podcast. We also explore the futuristic world of AI-powered tools that are revolutionizing content creation and organization. Finally, we wind down with a fun, light-hearted conversation about our podcasting journey and the importance of fostering relationships. So come on board for an episode filled with laughter, learning, and a whole lot of fun.

Tweetable Quotes

"Active listening was like the main skill that I had to learn and I think that helped me in other areas too. I was able to apply it to clients in real life, like personal training. I was able to apply it to maybe a cute girl at the bar. Like active listening helps out a lot."

"Most of the stuff I make is evergreen for the most part, so I'm kind of cheating in that regard, because I don't have to worry about instant gratification, if you will."

"I think what's been alive for me recently is just going with the flow and just where I'm at and, like a lot of you know, we connect, we're engaging on Twitter and for me it's been interesting to kind of see."
