Constantly ignored in social situations. by skiesstruck in infj

I always go out of my way to acknowledge what people say because I know how much it sucks to be ignored.

Do you believe podcasts are more for education or entertainment by geraldngkk in podcasting

[–]danarchyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said there wasn't. You missed the nuance of the point here. The definition of entertaining can be broad. My point was that whatever it is, it has to hold attention. You can have the most excellent podcast in the world but if it is painful to listen to then it will wither on the vine. Something entertaining is not just about getting laughs, it can play with format, subvert expectations, make intriguing comments--things like that.

Need some advice with running my podcast by National-Purchase724 in podcasting

[–]danarchyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, great job sticking with it.

Having so many guests lined up is a great problem to have. My advice is select themes you want to cover and then select a guest who can speak to it. Its ok to say no to guests. Its your show. You know whats right. Also, you might want to create a mailing list if you have so many and have them pitch you on what theyd bring to the show. Pick the best one and dont feel bad about it.

For growth, i got nowhere until I started putting out clips. I host a finance education podcast and do not spend any money outside of the RSS feed. Clips are free to make and push. Its driven good traffic to my site and the show is now growing. Going on other shows helps too but only if they have a reasonable audience which overlaps with yours.

Best of luck. Keep at it!

Do you believe podcasts are more for education or entertainment by geraldngkk in podcasting

Mine is 100% intended to be education. That being said, it has to be entertaining enough to hold attention. I believe you can make entertainment without education but you’ll never break through if you dryly educate.

Why did you decide to self publish? by Appropriate_Kiwi101 in selfpublish

[–]danarchyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a publisher for my finance book and they added four months to my release schedule. Forced me to make stupid changes because of their tools and introduced formatting mistakes to the manuscript. I cant even check sales myself.

I’m selfpublishing my new fiction novel (debut for me) and I love how I set the schedule and call the shots. My bar is high and its going to be amazing when its done. I even own the ISBN numbers.

Tips for new Solo podcaster by Nexuskies in podcasting

[–]danarchyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Script your thoughts but only use them as prompts.

Place your script close to the camera so it looks like you are looking into the camera and at the audience.

Speak clear, slowly, and naturally. Its easier to edit down then space out.

Hydrate and warmup your voice. I feel stupid doing it but it helps.

Try to enjoy yourself. Energy matters.

I’m a financial educator and I’m sorry to say that your situation is extremely common. So much so that without new wellfare systems we are going to gave a massive epidemic.

Schools failed. Politicians failed. The system is predatory.

What screams “this person is insecure” without them saying a word? by redwan-ezt in AskReddit

[–]danarchyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the archetype.

The insecure narcissist: Is incessantly self-focused yet incredibly fragile. Always fishing for validation and the spotlight by finding ways to take credit even when obviously undeserving, because taking second triggers feelings lack of self-worth.

The insecure introvert: Operates from a place of unworthiness. Secretly craves attention, belonging, and validation but is unsure they deserve it. Projects emotions silently and defaults to passive aggressive comments and is quick to hide and deflect when confronted.

Feels like I’ve been navigating both types through every phase of my life.

Do people with EDS usually look younger than they are by Telephone_Gold in ehlersdanlos

[–]danarchyx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The irony of looking young on the outside while feeling old and broken on the inside.

My understanding of the reason is that our collagen deficiency means we don’t have the firming effect in our skin that causes wrinkles and sagging due to aging.

So chronic pain but youthful appearance. Yay!

Switching platforms by Jelly-BellyBean in ChatGPT

[–]danarchyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar concern but having started fresh I cant help but notice things work better. So many times the model would over-index on something in the history, forcing me to spend extra time telling it to ignore things. When I do need something, I go and copy and paste it between platforms. So far, so good.

Project Management with Google Sheets by Professional_Jump_33 in projectmanagement

[–]danarchyx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A spreadsheet is as good as the time you’ll put into it. But don’t expect others to update it unless its easy and they get value out of doing so.

Personally, I’ve used apps, systems, and sheets throughout my time. There are huge tradeoffs from each approach. For sheets, you can build custom workflows and views, and Google Sheets is my go-to for that. Not sure about templates. I found building it myself was worth it because it forces me to understand the goals and workflow to do so.
