Speaker:

again. Thanks for joining me. It's great to see you, Matthew. It's been a long

 

Speaker:

time. I was so pleased when we got to kinda connect again. It

 

Speaker:

has. I I believe we were last time we saw each other was at a

 

Speaker:

pod fest, in 2020

 

Speaker:

right before the pandemic. But, you know, every time I think of you, I think

 

Speaker:

of the pod fest before that when we wound up going to grab dinner and

 

Speaker:

just sitting at the bar for, like, an hour and a half just chatting about

 

Speaker:

our world and podcast. Part about conferences, man. I love the networking

 

Speaker:

track. So, let before we get

 

Speaker:

into what you've been doing with helping podcasters turn their

 

Speaker:

work into text, let's talk a little bit about your journey into

 

Speaker:

podcasting. You know, when was your first podcast? How'd you get

 

Speaker:

started? You know, before we started, you kinda said you were thrust into

 

Speaker:

this world. So what did that look like? Yeah. I I

 

Speaker:

had always wanted to do a podcast since about, '20

 

Speaker:

no, 2012. I think I was on some really early,

 

Speaker:

radio shows in the digital space before podcasting kind

 

Speaker:

of blew up in 2015 or so. So I had been a guest in a

 

Speaker:

bunch of shows and kept getting asked, because of my background

 

Speaker:

in theater and quite honestly, the love I have of the sound of

 

Speaker:

my own voice, unlike a lot of people. I said, why

 

Speaker:

don't you have a show? Why don't you have a show? And so I ended

 

Speaker:

up during a rebrand of my own company, and I was

 

Speaker:

business coaching at the time, starting a show called The

 

Speaker:

Start Something Show. And that was launched with me by,

 

Speaker:

Ben Kruger and his team, Ry Taylor. They're both still

 

Speaker:

in podcasting. And I fell in love

 

Speaker:

with the medium. Just fell in love with the notion of talking

 

Speaker:

to people and interviewing people. It's something I started doing when I was literally

 

Speaker:

two years old. I have a recording of me at two years old walking around

 

Speaker:

with a tape recorder, asking their names, and, you

 

Speaker:

know, why do you like Easter? Like, that was that was my first interview.

 

Speaker:

When I was wearing the same glasses in that picture, by the way. What's that?

 

Speaker:

I assume you're wearing the same glasses in that picture. No. I didn't start wearing

 

Speaker:

glasses until, like, two years ago when, you know, freaking eyeballs

 

Speaker:

got old, man. Ah. But yeah. So it's been it's been a

 

Speaker:

long journey, and, that show did well really well. I did a couple

 

Speaker:

of weekly seasons of that, and then, and that got picked

 

Speaker:

up by Inc. Magazine as, and included in an article

 

Speaker:

about top podcasts for entrepreneurs, which was tremendous.

 

Speaker:

And, from there, I've I've experimented with a number of different formats and

 

Speaker:

shows, and then I've probably launched and produced, oh

 

Speaker:

god, at least several dozen shows, but that also gave me the

 

Speaker:

confidence to start the audiobook company that I have today, which is Twin Flame

 

Speaker:

Studios. So tell us a little about Twin Flame Studios, what

 

Speaker:

they do, and why you saw audiobooks

 

Speaker:

as a pathway for podcasters to find more

 

Speaker:

success with their content. It really is a very incestuous

 

Speaker:

relationship in the in the whole audio space. Right? It's like

 

Speaker:

a podcast are oftentimes, you know, they're a bit of an audio gateway drug,

 

Speaker:

so to speak. Right? Oh, I love that. You like that? And

 

Speaker:

then, you know, you end up like, next thing you know, you're doing audiobooks

 

Speaker:

and, oh my god, then you're speaking on stages and then, you

 

Speaker:

know, you can't stop talking. No. It's it's a whole thing. But,

 

Speaker:

I was, a business coach at the time, and I was,

 

Speaker:

doing audiobook excuse me. I took an audiobook master class

 

Speaker:

because I was voice acting on the side as a paid hobby.

 

Speaker:

And it was in that class, as I was learning about

 

Speaker:

not just the technique but the industry, that I had

 

Speaker:

this entrepreneurial seizure that said, well,

 

Speaker:

wait a minute. Most of my business coaching clients are

 

Speaker:

writing books. Most of my colleagues are writing books, but

 

Speaker:

nobody's doing audiobooks. Why? And that sent me down a rabbit hole of

 

Speaker:

research. And at the time, this is now

 

Speaker:

2013, nobody was

 

Speaker:

doing independent audiobook production for self published authors,

 

Speaker:

for hybrid published authors. And I kinda hung on to the idea,

 

Speaker:

and then it was during a time in my life where I found myself

 

Speaker:

the sole breadwinner for my family and needed I

 

Speaker:

wanted opportunities where I could have a company I could scale. And I said, well,

 

Speaker:

this audiobook idea just won't go away. I know I can do it. I know

 

Speaker:

I can scale it. I know nobody else is doing it. Let's give it a

 

Speaker:

try. And so I ended up piloting done for

 

Speaker:

you audiobooks, with a group of people

 

Speaker:

that I had, belonged to called the the Evolutionary Business

 

Speaker:

Council, and it took off. It took off fast.

 

Speaker:

And so they doubled down on that vision, and now

 

Speaker:

we produce about a 20 audiobooks a year, mostly in the

 

Speaker:

nonfiction space. And we were first to market

 

Speaker:

with, the technology and the process for authors to be

 

Speaker:

able to remote record their audiobooks from home

 

Speaker:

and but what fully supported by a director. Oh, that's

 

Speaker:

really cool. And Yeah. I definitely wanna talk to you about that technology that

 

Speaker:

you're using for doing that. But so, you know, you're

 

Speaker:

doing the independent audiobook production. Like you said, a lot of these are

 

Speaker:

nonfiction, but you're also bringing you're sort of bringing

 

Speaker:

podcasters into that fray. Right?

 

Speaker:

Yeah. Absolutely. There's, there's a lot of nonfiction

 

Speaker:

authors who are building platforms. They're practitioners. They're

 

Speaker:

business owners. They're speakers. They're consultants. They're experts of some

 

Speaker:

kind. And when you're building that whole platform, you have to

 

Speaker:

consider you're really developing an ecosystem for people

 

Speaker:

to come into. And, you know, your voice

 

Speaker:

is something that is unique to you. It

 

Speaker:

becomes very recognizable to people. And not everybody's cut

 

Speaker:

out or has the type of voice that you wanna listen

 

Speaker:

to necessarily for an eight hour audiobook, but you

 

Speaker:

might wanna tune in and listen to a half hour or forty five minute podcast,

 

Speaker:

or you're gonna love seeing them on stage for a keynote.

 

Speaker:

So there's sometimes it's a blend of the

 

Speaker:

the actual person's voice and, you know, a narrator who

 

Speaker:

embodies key qualities. And those are the types of things that we help people figure

 

Speaker:

out in and also helping them get their natural voice

 

Speaker:

a little bit more tuned so that people can can really

 

Speaker:

consume their voice more easily. So, I mean, that's really, you

 

Speaker:

know, podcasters who have a platform, who maybe are running

 

Speaker:

courses or doing a lot of consulting and coaching. Right? They have tons

 

Speaker:

of material that they're able to to put together as an ebook or or just

 

Speaker:

as a book and then turn that into an audiobook. But now you you

 

Speaker:

start Alembic Press, and this is slightly

 

Speaker:

different. And this is basically it's it almost seems like

 

Speaker:

an AI for audiobook creation or

 

Speaker:

just book creation. Am I am I characterizing that right?

 

Speaker:

It's not, you know, an AI process. We do use some

 

Speaker:

developer tools on the back end, but it is still very much a

 

Speaker:

human driven process, and it's it's, in alignment with

 

Speaker:

ghostwriting. It's much more like having a book ghostwritten for you.

 

Speaker:

However, we're using your podcast content as the material

 

Speaker:

for your book. And so we we actually

 

Speaker:

analyze your RSS feed, and we have a whole process

 

Speaker:

of pulling in material from your RSS feed. We don't even need you to give

 

Speaker:

us transcripts, to kinda suck in all of your material,

 

Speaker:

and then we're able to analyze and categorize and work with

 

Speaker:

your material from your podcast. And then it's not just

 

Speaker:

one kind of book. We're working with our authors to talk

 

Speaker:

about what your goals are, what what's gonna what's part of your vision.

 

Speaker:

And then there's probably seven or eight different kinds of books that we

 

Speaker:

could create from your podcast content, but we're gonna pick the

 

Speaker:

one to start that works best with aligning your goals. And then it is

 

Speaker:

more of a ghostwriting process that we use to develop out the

 

Speaker:

the outline of the book, the bulk of the book. Of course, the author,

 

Speaker:

is working with us. The podcast host is working with us every step of the

 

Speaker:

way. But we're using that podcast material as

 

Speaker:

the raw goods and making sure that that author's voice

 

Speaker:

stays consistent and conversational and intimate throughout the

 

Speaker:

process of the book, and then it's all the way through into publishing and, into

 

Speaker:

people's hands. So on the website, again, it was

 

Speaker:

alembicpress.com, a l e m b I

 

Speaker:

c press Com. In big letters, it says from podcast to

 

Speaker:

published in ninety days. Is that true? So

 

Speaker:

I imagine this isn't for every podcast. Right? If me and my buddies just like

 

Speaker:

to sit around in the garage and record a podcast and maybe drink and, you

 

Speaker:

know, just think that we're hilarious, that's probably not gonna make a great book. Right?

 

Speaker:

No. But those guys aren't the ones who are actually building an ecosystem where they

 

Speaker:

have a specific goal for making a difference in people's lives.

 

Speaker:

So well, so I'll give you a couple of examples.

 

Speaker:

One book we have in production right now that I'm very excited about is for

 

Speaker:

a show called, Responder Resilience, which was developed

 

Speaker:

to kinda normalize and have people understand what first responders go

 

Speaker:

through and help first responders feel good about sharing their stories

 

Speaker:

and also about getting help that they might need for trauma that they might be

 

Speaker:

experiencing. And so there's there's three hosts. One is retired firehouse

 

Speaker:

captain and two mental health professionals who specialize in working with

 

Speaker:

first responders. And out of that podcast, we are

 

Speaker:

writing the first ever guide, clinical guide for mental

 

Speaker:

health professionals to work with first responders. And then

 

Speaker:

that is going to turn into courses for mental health

 

Speaker:

professionals so they can be more effective in working with first responders.

 

Speaker:

So it's it's something that I'm very excited that does not

 

Speaker:

exist in the world that we get to create, and that's

 

Speaker:

so that's an example of the the types of books we're creating. Gosh. I should

 

Speaker:

go through my old show, CAUSE PODS, and just, you know, send you all the

 

Speaker:

podcast hosts who were doing something like that Yes, please. Who were who were

 

Speaker:

podcasting for a good cause and, you know, in many cases, took it

 

Speaker:

beyond just talking to a microphone, but really turned into action and

 

Speaker:

advocacy and community building and and and whatnot. So, that's

 

Speaker:

that's very, very cool. Why why should

 

Speaker:

podcasters be thinking about books and audiobooks?

 

Speaker:

Like, is there a a correlation

 

Speaker:

of having that content out there leading to an

 

Speaker:

increase in downloads, engagement, opportunity?

 

Speaker:

Like, what is the real benefit of Yeah. Trying a

 

Speaker:

service like this? Well, most podcasters

 

Speaker:

who are in this kind of a space who have an abundance of

 

Speaker:

content and an abundance of expertise,

 

Speaker:

When you are building out that ecosystem that I was talking about, a

 

Speaker:

book is often, if not always, part of that space

 

Speaker:

where, you know, you wanna go from, working with people

 

Speaker:

one on one or working with people in small groups to being able to be

 

Speaker:

on larger stages and making that

 

Speaker:

transition from being a practitioner to being

 

Speaker:

somebody who is a thought leader or an industry leader

 

Speaker:

in that in that space. So there's a transition there, and that transition

 

Speaker:

generally involves having your name on

 

Speaker:

an authored book that allows you then to have this

 

Speaker:

elevated level of credibility and authority because that's

 

Speaker:

something people can go back to. I mean, we love listening I love listening

 

Speaker:

to podcasts, and they're hard to go back to

 

Speaker:

to get insights out of. So when we take

 

Speaker:

the and distill the podcast

 

Speaker:

content into a book format, it gives another way for people

 

Speaker:

to develop a relationship with the host and something they

 

Speaker:

can go back to over and over again. And those are very specifically

 

Speaker:

the types of books that we're creating that someone can keep in their

 

Speaker:

bag, on their desk, with them all the time, and they can go back to

 

Speaker:

and open and get an insight, get support

 

Speaker:

in that topic, very quickly. And

 

Speaker:

so these aren't, you know, going to be what I call a doorstop book,

 

Speaker:

which is, you know, they're gonna not gonna be four or 500 pages long and

 

Speaker:

be the manifesto of the universe. These are books that are going to

 

Speaker:

be beautiful, 30,000 words. People can get

 

Speaker:

through them. They're actually gonna use them and develop that

 

Speaker:

further relationship. So there's the income stream, certainly. There's the

 

Speaker:

credibility. There's the ability that opens doors for further speaking,

 

Speaker:

and other, influential places to go in your

 

Speaker:

industry. And it's also a way to kinda leverage if you have

 

Speaker:

a guest based podcast to create further

 

Speaker:

community amongst your guests and use that as

 

Speaker:

part of your launch plan and as part of actually your book content.

 

Speaker:

Very, very cool. So, actually, at one point you start to

 

Speaker:

say stations. And I imagine that having the

 

Speaker:

word author somewhere in your title or having the word

 

Speaker:

author in your email pitches when you're trying to

 

Speaker:

get on to various radio shows or television shows or or make guest

 

Speaker:

appearances definitely helps and definitely adds a little bit more credibility.

 

Speaker:

Right? I would say so. I mean, it's it's nice to be able

 

Speaker:

to say things like, so, you know, I my

 

Speaker:

my bio reads with all kinds of acronyms, CBS,

 

Speaker:

CNN, you know, like, ABC, you know, all of those kinds of things.

 

Speaker:

But it's also, you know, I've hosted, you know, three or four

 

Speaker:

podcasts, you know, those kinds of thing, international speaker.

 

Speaker:

Now I'm actually speaking as somebody who has written chapters for

 

Speaker:

books, but not an entire book, which is a little bit, you know, The Shoemaker's

 

Speaker:

Children Have No Shoes. I have two books that are actually coming out

 

Speaker:

later this year using the same process that we're using with our

 

Speaker:

authors at Olympic Press, you know, kind of that gotta eat your own dog food,

 

Speaker:

man. But at the same time,

 

Speaker:

there have been many stages that have been closed to me

 

Speaker:

because they're like, well, we chose this person because

 

Speaker:

they have everything you have and they have a book. And

 

Speaker:

so there's a lot of it's honestly, there's a lot of kind of boxes to

 

Speaker:

tick when you're when you're looking at these situations that either you can be

 

Speaker:

somebody who runs a multimillion dollar company, and then maybe

 

Speaker:

you don't need a book at that point, or if you are somebody who is

 

Speaker:

building their ecosystem from scratch, turning your content

 

Speaker:

into a book can be a really great way to kind of put you over

 

Speaker:

the edge to have, more doors open for you in what you're doing.

 

Speaker:

And, again, opening income streams as well.

 

Speaker:

Excellent. As a reminder, we are chatting with Tina Dietz. She is

 

Speaker:

the CEO of Twin Flame Studios as well as

 

Speaker:

AlembicPress.com. We all have links to both of those

 

Speaker:

properties there in the show notes. Tina, I could probably talk to you all day

 

Speaker:

about this stuff because it's something that is so important to many podcasters is that

 

Speaker:

brand building and getting yourself out there and authority and

 

Speaker:

diversifying your assets. But we have questions I would

 

Speaker:

like to ask everybody in the show, and I have a feeling I'm gonna get

 

Speaker:

some pretty good answers from you there since you've been, part of the space for

 

Speaker:

a while. So the first thing I'm asking everybody is, is there

 

Speaker:

a a place in podcasting in particular where you would like to

 

Speaker:

see some big improvements, whether it's from, you know, the

 

Speaker:

production or distribution side? Or is it, you know or it could be from

 

Speaker:

the listening and discoverability side. Right? Like, what what is something about podcast?

 

Speaker:

And we're like, god. I wish it would do this. Yeah. We

 

Speaker:

have been talking about for more than a decade now, oh, we need the

 

Speaker:

Netflix of podcasting. And it's still

 

Speaker:

an elusive thing that we really haven't found where there

 

Speaker:

is, the engines being more

 

Speaker:

democratic and about making suggestions to

 

Speaker:

people about the type of listening that they're doing, having

 

Speaker:

people's titles of their podcast be more, findable,

 

Speaker:

for for newer things. It's a it it's definitely

 

Speaker:

a challenge in in that realm. So I would love to see

 

Speaker:

that happen, and I think we're only gonna see that happen when we bring

 

Speaker:

listenership to the forefront and allow people to

 

Speaker:

have more robust discussions on the listening platforms.

 

Speaker:

And I think we're starting to see that on Substack. There is

 

Speaker:

a little bit of functionality for that on on Spotify,

 

Speaker:

but I think it really needs to be expanded so that we can gather

 

Speaker:

people further into communities. Yeah. You know, I think when

 

Speaker:

people hear the Netflix of podcasting, their first assumption is I'm not paying for

 

Speaker:

podcasting, but it's really it's not about that. It's just that

 

Speaker:

that discoverability engine. It's that suggestion

 

Speaker:

engine that, you know, here's what's popular right now. And,

 

Speaker:

you know, we have that, but they're they seem to be

 

Speaker:

reserved for the top tier. And like you said, it's not very democratic.

 

Speaker:

It's it's it it favors the 1% and not the rest of us.

 

Speaker:

So I I I tend to agree that we could use more ways for people

 

Speaker:

to find content that is related to them or related to

 

Speaker:

what they're looking for, that that truthfully, it's it's

 

Speaker:

hard to pick out that that needle in a haystack. It

 

Speaker:

is definitely challenging, and it's, there's no

 

Speaker:

way for independent podcasters to kind of pitch

 

Speaker:

really larger organizations to showcase, like,

 

Speaker:

I've got a I've got a great content for a show. I'm a really good

 

Speaker:

host. I have great production value. Now,

 

Speaker:

you know, almost like, Shark Tank, but for

 

Speaker:

for podcasting. Right? And so

 

Speaker:

that you could actually maybe get picked up and have some additional

 

Speaker:

exposure through a network like Wondery or,

 

Speaker:

you know, one of the other big, you know so,

 

Speaker:

you know, getting getting green lit or getting being able to pitch

 

Speaker:

those, podcast houses is not something that I've seen that I think would be a

 

Speaker:

really interesting development for the industry. Yeah. It seems like there was a little bit

 

Speaker:

of that a few years ago when it it quickly dissolved and maybe now there's

 

Speaker:

more money in podcasting. We'll see it again. So my next question is always, is

 

Speaker:

there something that you is there, like, tech on your wish list? Whether it's

 

Speaker:

something you have that, you know, something that you want that you just haven't

 

Speaker:

gotten your hands on or something that doesn't exist yet that you'd love to have

 

Speaker:

created. And I'm gonna pair this with a question I said I was gonna ask

 

Speaker:

earlier. You talk about remote recording your

 

Speaker:

hosts and voice talent. What are you using for that?

 

Speaker:

Well, I don't talk about our tech stack

 

Speaker:

because that's something that we've we've really worked on over the years and it is

 

Speaker:

hard one. But, it's in terms of things that I

 

Speaker:

would love to see well, first of all, I just became aware of your podcast

 

Speaker:

beacon, which I'm really excited about. And I think that's going to be a really

 

Speaker:

nice way for people to be able to share their podcast as well as maybe

 

Speaker:

their websites or their business a lot more easily. So,

 

Speaker:

and and, genuinely, I'm I'm excited about that product. But in terms

 

Speaker:

of something that I would like to see, it's actually more,

 

Speaker:

you know, not really work related because in order to be freed

 

Speaker:

up to do the work that we're creatively called to do,

 

Speaker:

we actually need more of the grunt work taken off of us. So,

 

Speaker:

you know, I'm I'm I want that house cleaning bot, man.

 

Speaker:

I want that that thing that's gonna handle my,

 

Speaker:

groceries and monitor things and keep my house clean and, take

 

Speaker:

in the grunt work off and fold my damn laundry. I

 

Speaker:

mean, currently, that's my husband, but to be fair. But, otherwise,

 

Speaker:

I think that's You're looking for Rosie the robot. Right? Yeah. As human beings, it's

 

Speaker:

the grunt work that keeps us from doing the work we actually wanna do.

 

Speaker:

It's funny. I heard a quote recently that said something like, I don't want AI

 

Speaker:

to be making my art so I have more time to do laundry. I want

 

Speaker:

hundred percent. Yeah. Love it. And, last thing, are

 

Speaker:

Like, new episode comes out, you're gonna stop what you're doing, check it out, or

 

Speaker:

you're just you're not gonna let an episode get by you, without listening to

 

Speaker:

it. I found a show that I absolutely

 

Speaker:

adore, called Money with Katie. And

 

Speaker:

she is a millennial. She gets about 10,000,000 downloads an episode.

 

Speaker:

I kid you not. Yeah. It's incredible. It's produced by Morning Joe.

 

Speaker:

But the reason that I love her show so much is she

 

Speaker:

brings all of her personality to it, and it is so

 

Speaker:

incredibly well researched and thought through. And then paired with

 

Speaker:

her newsletter, it it's a great example of that ecosystem

 

Speaker:

that I'm talking about developing. So if you want a master class and, like,

 

Speaker:

wow, what does that look like in a full form? I would definitely check out

 

Speaker:

Money with Katie. It's, and just beautiful

 

Speaker:

tools, really well thought out, and a big heart behind all of

 

Speaker:

it. It's, it's it's a it's a bit of a master class. And I actually

 

Speaker:

found her because I was looking up information for a comedy bid I was doing

 

Speaker:

for a stand up show. So go figure. Wow. That

 

Speaker:

is somebody who's working on podcast discoverability better,

 

Speaker:
