366-Behind The Scenes Of Everyday Happiness

What I’ve learned from doing a daily podcast for a whole year.  Today we go behind the scenes.   

 

Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today, we’re going behind the scenes.  First, even though these episodes are 2-ish minutes long, man do they take a long time to create and produce.  Reading and researching and thinking about what would be impactful and how to distill that in 2 minutes. It was a much bigger project than I thought when I started this a year ago.  I’m not sure I have much advice for a new podcasts, except, it takes longer than you think to get these out the door and loaded into the internet. 

 

With that, I’ve leaned that a cost effective lapel mic in my closet filled with clothes really does make great sound.  So I spend a lot of time in my closet, which is so weird.  I thought I would be recording in my home office, but that just did not work.  So, off the tiny closet I go to record episodes with hopefully a good sound quality.  

 

I have a team, and I really couldn’t imagine doing it without them.  Jeff, Jeimy, Chelsey, Richelle and Jen all make the world go round.  It takes a village and everyone has their part.  365 episodes later, we run like a well-oiled machine and it feels so aligned. 

 

Even though it’s a well-oiled machine, there are so many times I’m sending podcasts at the very last minute, either I’m looking for inspiration to strike or it’s been a busy few days and man, is that stressful. So in year two, I’m looking to be more than 12 hours ahead in my recording schedule, for everyone’s sake.  

 

As we look toward year two, we have some exciting changes coming our way.  Most importantly, we want to hear from you, our amazing listeners. If you have something that makes you happy that you are willing to share, or if you have an idea what happiness means to you, please sign up to chat with me as a podcast guest.  Send me a DM for the link or go to the show notes to find it, at https://calendly.com/katiejefcoat.   

 

This year, to commemorate this milestone we launched Kindness Cards.  A postcard that sends a smile. We’d be so honored if you checked them out over at www.katiejefcoat.com 

  

Until next time, remember, kindness is contagious.
