7:26: Alex touches on the benefits of the PodMatch platform; the core function is finding good podcast guests and hosts and expediting the podcast pre and post-production process of getting bios, headshots, etc.
11:14: Podcast SOP is the management system Alex created when he saw the podcasting failure rate and wanted to alleviate the stress and time demand of podcasting. Deb also mentions how she uses Trello for the CSP workflow, content organization, and task management.
21:08: Deb and Alex discuss the value of asking your community questions to gain an understanding of their needs and the best content that will be consumed inside the community. Alex says, “ask the right question but pull yourself out of the equation” to find a solution to be part of the team.
