Let's go to Maryland today, and we are chatting with David Griffiths. He is

 

 


Speaker:

president and CEO of Content Creating Academy. He is

Speaker:

so much for joining us today. It's a privilege to be here. Thank you for

 

 


Speaker:

having me. So you do a lot of content creation.

 

 


Speaker:

You do video, you do text, you help others, you do a podcast.

 

 


Speaker:

How did your content creation journey start? Where where

 

 


Speaker:

did you really decide that this was gonna be what you wanted to do?

 

 


Speaker:

So interestingly, in in a in a former life, I was a

 

 


Speaker:

gospel recording artist And I always used to hear,

 

 


Speaker:

David, you know, the most important thing is you need to get more followers on

 

 


Speaker:

social media. So I was on YouTube

 

 


Speaker:

for 13 years and I only had a

 

 


Speaker:

little over a 100 followers. So I was missing some kind of ingredient.

 

 


Speaker:

And so, one of my

 

 


Speaker:

when the pandemic occurred, one of my friends

 

 


Speaker:

created a Zoom chat for us high school buddies to connect on.

 

 


Speaker:

And, one of my friends, his mother just passed away and he said,

 

 


Speaker:

hey, Dave. Would you mind singing a hymn on

 

 


Speaker:

Facebook just every morning for a while just to help me get through the

 

 


Speaker:

loss of my mom? And, I said,

 

 


Speaker:

sure. At the time, I had really

 

 


Speaker:

not, you know, I've been a little bit discouraged with

 

 


Speaker:

different circumstances in life. And I hadn't really been

 

 


Speaker:

sharing my music or my presence as much as

 

 


Speaker:

before. But this invitation was my opportunity

 

 


Speaker:

to stop feeling sorry for myself and start focusing in on how I could be

 

 


Speaker:

a blessing to someone else. And in so doing, I realized

 

 


Speaker:

that if I kept doing that, my friend Kevin would

 

 


Speaker:

hear me, but not anyone who hadn't met

 

 


Speaker:

me before because in order for other people to discover me on Facebook,

 

 


Speaker:

I'd have to pay money to advertise to be discovered. And that's when I

 

 


Speaker:

discovered that TikTok was a platform where I could

 

 


Speaker:

have organic growth and people could discover me even if they've never met

 

 


Speaker:

me. And so it was in this process that I

 

 


Speaker:

actually began a journey to where now I have over

 

 


Speaker:

1,500,000 followers between my different platforms. Wow.

 

 


Speaker:

That's really incredible. Do you think there was something particular in

 

 


Speaker:

your strategy, or do you think the emergence of

 

 


Speaker:

TikTok itself and maybe being one of the early adopters to have really helped you

 

 


Speaker:

out there? It's definitely

 

 


Speaker:

strategy. So those 13 years when I wasn't growing on

 

 


Speaker:

YouTube, I never I never got a coach. I

 

 


Speaker:

never invested in someone who'd already done what I wanna do, who could

 

 


Speaker:

then help me get further faster. So when I got on TikTok, I got a

 

 


Speaker:

coach. And one of the things I learned from this coach was,

 

 


Speaker:

let's say, there's 8 different things that you would like to

 

 


Speaker:

share. So you share them and you let your audience

 

 


Speaker:

teach you what it is that they really want from you. So in my

 

 


Speaker:

case, you know, I I,

 

 


Speaker:

I don't have the gift of dancing. So

 

 


Speaker:

that that wasn't one of the things that I tried, but I tried different

 

 


Speaker:

trends. You know, I I would try, I would

 

 


Speaker:

share inspirational thoughts. I would,

 

 


Speaker:

ask people questions. I would do community building activities. I would

 

 


Speaker:

play piano. I did all these things and

 

 


Speaker:

sang, and then I prayed. And the interesting thing was

 

 


Speaker:

the things that went viral were when I gave from my

 

 


Speaker:

heart something inspirational to people. And so I realized

 

 


Speaker:

authenticity was important. And then I also, when I prayed, that was

 

 


Speaker:

something that resonated with people as well. So then I realized that while you

 

 


Speaker:

can do different trending things, you should be clear on

 

 


Speaker:

who you are and who you wish to impact and be authentic. And if

 

 


Speaker:

you're authentic, that's half the battle. So

 

 


Speaker:

was the TikTok and the social media something that you were doing first and then

 

 


Speaker:

the podcast came along? Or did you have the podcast already and and TikTok kinda

 

 


Speaker:

helped you to grow it? What was like the how did you add to your

 

 


Speaker:

content creation stack, let's say? Yeah. So what

 

 


Speaker:

what I my thought was, okay, I've been blessed

 

 


Speaker:

with all these followers. Now, what is it that they would like from me that

 

 


Speaker:

I'm not giving them already? And so I actually

 

 


Speaker:

asked that question on the different platforms. And I was I was

 

 


Speaker:

strategic in the way that I grew. I grew on, TikTok

 

 


Speaker:

first to then I went from there to

 

 


Speaker:

Instagram so that I could see what worked or didn't work. And then

 

 


Speaker:

I kept spreading to different platforms because different platforms have

 

 


Speaker:

different cultures. And so, from asking people,

 

 


Speaker:

I realized that people really wanted to learn from me how

 

 


Speaker:

to change. There were a lot of people who really wanted to change

 

 


Speaker:

different aspects of their life. And I and I am fascinated with personal

 

 


Speaker:

development and change as well. And so I said, okay, this makes sense.

 

 


Speaker:

So I entitled the podcast change. And because I had a large

 

 


Speaker:

number of followers, it was a little bit easier for me to get some

 

 


Speaker:

guests who, who who

 

 


Speaker:

had large followings. And it it just

 

 


Speaker:

it made sense to me. But but I think

 

 


Speaker:

it's just important whether you're growing on social media or you're starting

 

 


Speaker:

your podcast to be very clear on what gives you joy

 

 


Speaker:

and then who it is that you wanna make content

 

 


Speaker:

to serve. Because you can get distracted

 

 


Speaker:

in just doing things that get a lot of likes or things that are provocative.

 

 


Speaker:

And then you end up doing something that eventually the

 

 


Speaker:

algorithm understands and you figure out how to work the algorithm. But then

 

 


Speaker:

you might not like what it is that you have to create because you

 

 


Speaker:

were just following likes and you didn't really have another strategy behind

 

 


Speaker:

it. I I think for so many people,

 

 


Speaker:

that's a tough pill to swallow because

 

 


Speaker:

everybody wants their content to be popular. Everybody wants their

 

 


Speaker:

content to get the likes, get engagement, you know,

 

 


Speaker:

rise up in the algorithm and become more popular than it is.

 

 


Speaker:

And if you tell somebody what you enjoy doing

 

 


Speaker:

isn't gonna get you the same reaction as what

 

 


Speaker:

this is that's been working,

 

 


Speaker:

that that might be difficult for people to take. How do you how do you

 

 


Speaker:

reconcile that for for someone? I

 

 


Speaker:

think, okay. 22 thoughts.

 

 


Speaker:

I am a very passionate photographer.

 

 


Speaker:

But I realized after doing it in different

 

 


Speaker:

context, that

 

 


Speaker:

I specifically like doing portraits.

 

 


Speaker:

I specifically, I don't want to be a wedding photographer.

 

 


Speaker:

I enjoy taking pictures of, concerts that I go

 

 


Speaker:

to just for me. But I realized

 

 


Speaker:

the joy that I had, is more so for me

 

 


Speaker:

being able to create an image, a concept,

 

 


Speaker:

and dive deep into it and and use different techniques and and really

 

 


Speaker:

create a vision that I'm passionate about. And so that could be

 

 


Speaker:

a hobby. If you wanna make a full time living,

 

 


Speaker:

then there might be some other stuff that you might have to do, and that

 

 


Speaker:

might not be as enjoyable for me. So that's just one analogy.

 

 


Speaker:

Sometimes something is a great hobby, and it doesn't become as great

 

 


Speaker:

a business from the other stuff that you have to do to make enough to

 

 


Speaker:

make a living. The other thing is

 

 


Speaker:

the Japanese have a concept that, apparently, it's

 

 


Speaker:

not the way that we use it here in the west isn't as

 

 


Speaker:

authentic as the original, but have you heard of

 

 


Speaker:

Ikigai before? I believe I have. Okay. So

 

 


Speaker:

if you think of 4 circles that overlap,

 

 


Speaker:

1, 2, 3, 4. One of them is what is it that you're

 

 


Speaker:

passionate about? 1, is it, what is it that you're

 

 


Speaker:

really good at? Then one is, what

 

 


Speaker:

is it that people are willing to pay you for?

 

 


Speaker:

Right? And then one is, what what is it that the, that,

 

 


Speaker:

that the world needs that you would be interested in

 

 


Speaker:

doing? So if you look at the bull's eye of all those things, that would

 

 


Speaker:

be your ikigai, your reason for being or for living.

 

 


Speaker:

And so for me, I would recommend that someone

 

 


Speaker:

try to find a bull's eye, an overlap because in

 

 


Speaker:

reality, for example,

 

 


Speaker:

I might like making,

 

 


Speaker:

avatars of photo avatars for people, but that trend

 

 


Speaker:

might have passed. But that's what I like. So I'm

 

 


Speaker:

gonna advertise. Hey. I'm gonna do, you know, this,

 

 


Speaker:

digital avatar thing for you, and I only charge you $50

 

 


Speaker:

for it, but it's great. And everyone could be, like, yeah, Dave, but

 

 


Speaker:

people were doing that, like, a year and a half, 2 years ago. We're not

 

 


Speaker:

interested. But I can market it really successfully. I can be

 

 


Speaker:

consistent every day and let people know about it. I could be authentic. It's what

 

 


Speaker:

I like to do. But in reality, I'll be very poor

 

 


Speaker:

because you have to pay attention to what the market wants because

 

 


Speaker:

you're in business. And I guess that's the key thing if we're

 

 


Speaker:

talking about folks who are doing this not just for fun or not just as

 

 


Speaker:

a passion, but right if this is if this is something that you are relying

 

 


Speaker:

on for income or you think is gonna be a strong source of

 

 


Speaker:

income, then you have to have a slightly different approach to it.

 

 


Speaker:

So based on your experience with social media, your

 

 


Speaker:

ability to grow your following to where it is today, what would you say

 

 


Speaker:

are some things that podcasters typically

 

 


Speaker:

do well to create engagement

 

 


Speaker:

for their content on social media? And maybe what are some things that a lot

 

 


Speaker:

of them are doing wrong? So one of

 

 


Speaker:

the one of one of the best ways that I see

 

 


Speaker:

people leading people to their podcast is when they

 

 


Speaker:

find an exciting moment from their podcast

 

 


Speaker:

and they post it and then, you know, they tell people for the

 

 


Speaker:

rest, they can go to the actual platform, whether it's

 

 


Speaker:

video podcast they can watch on YouTube or if it's audio.

 

 


Speaker:

That's very helpful. I think

 

 


Speaker:

having a view towards a conversation,

 

 


Speaker:

even making a talking head video that's real,

 

 


Speaker:

where you're asking a question that's related to the subject of your podcast.

 

 


Speaker:

And then you could let's say that you were do you were talking your

 

 


Speaker:

episode is gonna be about depression. So you could say,

 

 


Speaker:

hey, fam. I have a quick question for you. What's the thing that triggers depression

 

 


Speaker:

for you most often? I'll go first. For me, it's when I

 

 


Speaker:

have a visit from family and then they leave. And

 

 


Speaker:

afterwards, I just feel really low. And it

 

 


Speaker:

usually happens even especially at the holiday seasons. How about you? Let me know in

 

 


Speaker:

the comments. So you're starting an

 

 


Speaker:

actual conversation about something that's relatable to people. You're sharing

 

 


Speaker:

your authentic feelings. Then in that discussion,

 

 


Speaker:

you can you can, create some authentic

 

 


Speaker:

engagement that then sets up for a great

 

 


Speaker:

follow-up that leads people to your podcast. So I think

 

 


Speaker:

sometimes we just stop at taking a snippet from the

 

 


Speaker:

thing and sending people there. But in reality, we could do more on

 

 


Speaker:

our social media to actually engage people in conversation.

 

 


Speaker:

And then that that heightened awareness is a

 

 


Speaker:

good, bed for you to follow-up with and send people to

 

 


Speaker:

your, podcast. Yeah. I mean, that's so

 

 


Speaker:

interesting. The the lots of folks do like putting

 

 


Speaker:

clips of their show out there and hoping that people see it and hear it

 

 


Speaker:

and think, oh, this is interesting. Maybe I I wanna listen to more. And,

 

 


Speaker:

you know, there's probably limited success with those.

 

 


Speaker:

Right? When we're on social media, we tend to be on social media. But, yeah,

 

 


Speaker:

this idea that you are providing something, this idea that you

 

 


Speaker:

are engaging with your audience specifically in building a

 

 


Speaker:

relationship, does tend to have does tend

 

 


Speaker:

to pay off more. It might not pay off right away. That one post might

 

 


Speaker:

not get a lot of people to actually click over, but it'll

 

 


Speaker:

maybe get you that follow. It'll maybe get you that comment, which then

 

 


Speaker:

moves you up in the algorithm. Right? It it increases

 

 


Speaker:

your probability of engaging with this person because now the

 

 


Speaker:

platform knows, oh, you like this content, so maybe it'll bring it back a little

 

 


Speaker:

bit more of it to you to show it to you, right, when you're here

 

 


Speaker:

more often. So, right, it's it's not just always about a subscriber

 

 


Speaker:

really building the the engagement, building the

 

 


Speaker:

relationship, and and, you know, getting yourself in front of that person more

 

 


Speaker:

often than not. What about for someone

 

 


Speaker:

who, you know, they they know they have good content,

 

 


Speaker:

they know that they can help people,

 

 


Speaker:

but, you know, they turn the camera on, they turn the microphone on, they're

 

 


Speaker:

trying to make that sincere, authentic

 

 


Speaker:

moment. And, you know, just as soon as the mic turns on, I'm just like

 

 


Speaker:

right. They got nothing. How do you how do you learn to overcome that,

 

 


Speaker:

or how do you learn to be able to talk to your

 

 


Speaker:

audience, especially when, right, for the most they're not there. You're really talking

 

 


Speaker:

to your phone and then putting it out there on the world. And

 

 


Speaker:

for some people, that's that's not the easiest thing to do.

 

 


Speaker:

I believe that you have to get your reps in.

 

 


Speaker:

I believe that well, for me,

 

 


Speaker:

it's very fun, but some days I'm going

 

 


Speaker:

like, what on earth is going on? Like, why am I making all these

 

 


Speaker:

mistakes? Then other days I get in the zone and like,

 

 


Speaker:

I should record a bunch of things because I'm in the zone.

 

 


Speaker:

Usually, I get in the zone when I feel something deeply,

 

 


Speaker:

and then I can speak in that feeling

 

 


Speaker:

and often, you know, I'm well rested, maybe I've just taken

 

 


Speaker:

a walk, I've drank some green juice, like,

 

 


Speaker:

I've I've gotten all the planets in alignment as it were And then I get

 

 


Speaker:

that sweet spot. And then, yeah, I can go. And what I

 

 


Speaker:

found is you have to just put in the reps. So you have to

 

 


Speaker:

be okay with sitting down and saying, alright. For the next hour,

 

 


Speaker:

I'm just gonna even if I have 15 minutes of something to say, I'm just

 

 


Speaker:

gonna go through it. And I may do it 3 or 4 times until I

 

 


Speaker:

start to feel fluent. This starts to feel like I'm talking to my best

 

 


Speaker:

friend. Right? So that's one thing that I encourage

 

 


Speaker:

people to do is to put in the reps. Sometimes it can be helpful.

 

 


Speaker:

Like, I have some clients who I support, where

 

 


Speaker:

they have anxiety with creating content. And sometimes they come

 

 


Speaker:

into my studio and then they talk to me. Right?

 

 


Speaker:

So they're talking to the camera, but I'm on the other side of it.

 

 


Speaker:

And we just get them to a place where they're,

 

 


Speaker:

they have, like, a framework of what it really feels like to be

 

 


Speaker:

talking to the person through the camera. Yeah.

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. And that that's I I love that advice. It's something that we always told

 

 


Speaker:

our podcast clients, which was not to look at this microphone and think

 

 


Speaker:

about the audience, but to look at this microphone and think about, like you said,

 

 


Speaker:

your best friend. Right? That that person who when you talk to them,

 

 


Speaker:

you, you know, you sit up in your chair, you lean forward, your shoulders are

 

 


Speaker:

relaxed, you you're not thinking, you're just being

 

 


Speaker:

and doing, and and, you know, it it tends to produce the the best results

 

 


Speaker:

for you, which, you know, if if one

 

 


Speaker:

person feels like you are engaging with them as if you've been their best friend

 

 


Speaker:

their whole life, everybody listening will also experience

 

 


Speaker:

that same feeling. So I I think that's some great advice. We're chatting with David

 

 


Speaker:

Griffiths, president and CEO of Content Creating Academy and, the

 

 


Speaker:

podcast change. You can check out more at contentcreatingacademy.com.

 

 


Speaker:

David, for everybody who comes on the show, we have a couple of questions we'd

 

 


Speaker:

like to ask everybody. And so one thing I'd like to ask you about is,

 

 


Speaker:

in the podcasting space specifically, is there anything you would like to

 

 


Speaker:

see improved, whether it's from the creation side,

 

 


Speaker:

distribution, marketing? Right? Just is there something when you're dealing with your

 

 


Speaker:

podcast, you're like, man, I wish blah, blah, blah, was there. Something

 

 


Speaker:

else was easier to do. When I first was getting started, I wished

 

 


Speaker:

that there was an easier path to understand,

 

 


Speaker:

the steps that I need to take towards monetization. That was

 

 


Speaker:

something that I thought, you know, like, of course there were some high ticket offers

 

 


Speaker:

that were available, but I thought in a general sense, that would be

 

 


Speaker:

great if there was some more information that was available just

 

 


Speaker:

as a process for people to think that way. Right? As opposed

 

 


Speaker:

to just, oh, I'm just gonna start a podcast

 

 


Speaker:

and just, you know, sponsors will fall out the sky.

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. Hasn't happened yet, I'm sure. Nobody ever has ever podcaster,

 

 


Speaker:

sponsors fall out of the sky as, as cloudy as it might be

 

 


Speaker:

that day. Is there any tech on your

 

 


Speaker:

wish list as far as something that either is out there

 

 


Speaker:

that you've been wanting to get your hands on, whether it's for video or audio

 

 


Speaker:

or, maybe something that hasn't been created yet that you'd love to see

 

 


Speaker:

made that would help you in the hardware, software, anything like that?

 

 


Speaker:

Not really. I'm trying to think of the name of that switcher.

 

 


Speaker:

The broadcaster video, the Blackmagic.

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. ATEM Mini. That YoloBox. That one.

 

 


Speaker:

Go back. ATEM? Yeah. Yeah. The Blackmagic

 

 


Speaker:

ATEM Mini, the video switcher? Yeah. I've been interested in

 

 


Speaker:

that a little while back. Save your money and keep

 

 


Speaker:

your eye on the RodeCaster video. It looks like it is,

 

 


Speaker:

it it it costs a lot more, but it looks like it's worth it.

 

 


Speaker:

Phenomenal product that can do a whole lot of different things,

 

 


Speaker:

in the video world. We'll we'll we'll make sure we put a link to it

 

 


Speaker:

in the show notes so everybody can see what we're talking about. But, yeah, Rodecaster

 

 


Speaker:

video is the next generation, I would say, of that

 

 


Speaker:

video switcher, that you're talking about from from or from

 

 


Speaker:

Blackmagic. Alright. And lastly, are there podcasts that you have,

 

 


Speaker:

that you listen to, you're subscribed to that, you know, no matter what you're

 

 


Speaker:

doing when this episode comes out, you're gonna stop and listen to it or, you

 

 


Speaker:

know, it's one of those shows that you will not miss an

 

 


Speaker:

episode of it.

 

 


Speaker:

It usually, I would I would like to say there's one

 

 


Speaker:

diary of a CEO. But, but in

 

 


Speaker:

general, I have different it just depends on what season I'm in. If

 

 


Speaker:

I'm in a head space trying to figure out

 

 


Speaker:

how to keep my mind shift going well, I might be listening to Mel

 

 


Speaker:

Robbins. Right? If I'm

 

 


Speaker:

or or Jim quick, just to kinda just depends on

 

 


Speaker:

what it is that I'm working with in that season.

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. Interesting. I never I never, you know, usually when I hear somebody say

 

 


Speaker:

that they have seasonal podcasts, it's usually like,

 

 


Speaker:

well, it's football season, so I'm listening to the Ravens or, you know, now we're

 

 


Speaker:

into baseball and so it's the Capitals, but you're saying it really is

 

 


Speaker:

about what's happening during the year and what you're feeling and

 

 


Speaker:

which creator is gonna boost you up and and kinda support

 

 


Speaker:

your mentality? Absolutely. And, you know, and I'm also a public speaker

 

 


Speaker:

as well. I can speaking this Friday. And so the things that I was listening

 

 


Speaker:

to are related to me having value to share when I talk. So

 

 


Speaker:

that's that's that's part of it too. Part of it is so,

 

 


Speaker:

you know, I have several 1 on 1 clients in addition to the

 

 


Speaker:

community that we have content creating academy. And so for the 1 on 1

 

 


Speaker:

clients, some of them are dealing with particular

 

 


Speaker:

issues. And then if I know I have a 1 on 1 with them coming

 

 


Speaker:

up the day before, I'll probably be listening

 

 


Speaker:

to certain things as well, just to,

 

 


Speaker:

to, to have that in my mind. Yeah. So that's the, for

 

 


Speaker:

me, it's more of a functional thing based upon what I

 

 


Speaker:

do. So there's different different kinds of,

 

 


Speaker:

information that I need for different people that I serve. And so that

 

 


Speaker:

determines who I'm listening to. And I think what you're saying, by the way, is

 

 


Speaker:

a great example and a reason why podcasters

 

 


Speaker:

shouldn't just promote their content that came out that day,

 

 


Speaker:

that week. You know, maybe you're doing an episode

 

 


Speaker:

today that when you send it to your audience, they don't need it. But

 

 


Speaker:

in 6 months from now, you repost that content, and you might be hitting that

 

 


Speaker:

person who wasn't ready to hear it then, but they're ready to hear it now.

 

 


Speaker:

Or like you said, right, like, it's it's more topical to what I'm

 

 


Speaker:

working on, what I'm doing, what I'm thinking about. And so, you know, really strong

 

 


Speaker:

argument for getting out there and making sure that you are

 

 


Speaker:

constantly repromoting and repurposing,

 

 


Speaker:

your content or your podcast and and, truly, any of

 

 


Speaker:

your, content creation journey. So we've been chatting with David Griffiths,

 

 


Speaker:

president and CEO of the Content Creating Academy, host of the podcast Change.
