"Crushed the draft. That I've seen. Obviously, they're going to take Melissa smith's second overall because Ryan Howard went first overall. And I think a lot of people are actually even myself as I was doing my mock drafts Logan. Melissa Smith was so close to that number one spot over and over and over. And it seemed like every time I was like, oh, it's going to go to Melissa. Then Ryan Howard would go off when the SEC tournament single handedly. That kind of stuff would happen. But Smith was so close to being that number one type of player. And I think Indiana just absolutely lucked out that Ryan Howard didn't have some sort of falling because I think Smith fits exactly what they need. They need a big to come in and compliment what they've got in that front court. I think that Melissa Smith is going to be a big part of this team moving forward. And then they went ahead and picked up Emily angler and just absolute Swiss Army knife and to be honest. My favorite interview of the entire night was Emily engler. She laid it all out there. She got a little bit emotional. Talking about what it was like to be drafted. And I think she just won a ton of people over. I know several of us hosts are just between watching her in the final four and then seeing her draft interview. Those two things alone, if you're not at Emily angst fan, do you have a soul type of situation? When they picked up Lexie hull, a lot of people went kind of turned their heads. I had Lexi hole going at the end of the first round, but most people, I think I was the only one of most mock drafts that even had her in the first round. When they picked her up, that was my first, oh, I would have maybe taken destiny Henderson there. And then they passed on Henderson again and quick picked up Queen egbo. And they were able to steal still pick up destiny Henderson. In the second round. If Indiana would have just like, I felt like somebody just dropped a lucky rabbit's foot on the Indiana fever and all of a sudden they went from we were making jokes for the last multiple years. Someone pick up the phone in Indianapolis, do they know there's a season starting? Lethargic in past off seasons and their drafts have not been I mean, they've been talked about, but they've been talking about because they were taking players like Kaiser gunderic, who was just an unexpected pick when she went number four last year. And then ended up getting cut from the team less than a year later. So that's what made it feel like for a lot of years, they didn't have a plan. When they took Andres, they didn't have a blueprint in place at all. Now it feels like they managed to take a draft, which we all agreed maybe was among one of the weaker drafts talent wise, especially at the top that we've seen the last couple of years. And turn it into something that I think is really fun and not just in like, oh, that's fun. Not at a condescending way, but I really believe in the list of Smith queen egbo combo and Emily..

"Up WNBA nation? Kyle Haywood here and I am really excited about today's little small episode. It's finally time to give my final WNBA mock draft for 2022. This has been a lot of fun all season long. Being able to go back and reflect on each of these players where they've been. I've watched way more games and way more game film than I intended because I just got really, really into this year's draft class and to be honest, I'm looking forward to continuing to do this each and every year. So before we hop into the actual draft itself though, I do want to take a second and just give a couple quick announcements. First of all, we are now on TikTok. You can find us at W at WNBA nation pod just like our Twitter handle. You can find us on TikTok. We should have some pretty good content coming your way there. And probably the bigger announcement is that we now have a website. You can go ahead and check out WNBA nation dot com. There's so much there. You can listen to episodes right there from the website. You can check out the blog where I will have typed up an actual mock draft on there. You can also connect directly to our Twitch channel. You can email us, you can contact us. You can read a little bit more about our show. As well as probably the part that I'm the most excited for, and that is the store. We have totally revamped and recreated our merch store. We've eliminated some past designs that we had up and we've simplified it and we did a lot of research. We got a lot of different products and we just wanted to make sure that the stuff that you guys were receiving was really solid quality. Every once in a while, we would have someone purchase something in the past that just wasn't good quality. And we felt bad about that. And so we totally revamped our store. You can check that out. It's actually a teespring store. And if you go to WNBA nation dot com and click the store link right there, you can check out all of our different designs and different things for you to pick up. So go ahead and check that out. And yeah, let's hop right into this year's final mock draft. All right, we're going to start things off with the number one pick. This is now the Atlanta dreams pick after a trade that went down between the Atlanta dream. And the Washington mystics, they swapped pick number one and pick number three and Washington also picked up a couple other a couple other portions with that for Atlanta basically if you're sitting in that number three spot, that's a rough spot to be in because really a lot of people are looking at this draft as kind of a two person draft between ray and Howard and Melissa Smith. So dropping to three was kind of a big deal for Washington because either a, they didn't necessarily care for either of those top two picks, or B, they felt like what Atlanta was offering in this trade could allow them better opportunities in the future. So Atlanta now with the number one pick, let's hop right into it. I've got Atlanta taking Ryan Howard 6 foot two guard out of Kentucky. Now, the reason I'm going with Howard and I actually may have looked at nalyssa smith going number one overall had someone else been picking, but with Atlanta in particular, they no longer have Kennedy Carter. They no longer have Courtney Williams, and there is a lot to be desired in that Atlanta back court. Ryan Howard really could provide exactly hopefully what the dream we're looking for there. She's a very, very good on ball and off ball defender. She's got a really solid efficient shot. She averaged 20.5 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game and shot 44% from the floor. She shoots about 38 from behind the arc her senior year. And honestly, she really could end up being a big time franchise player moving forward. As the number one to pick. She also at 6 foot two, that's a rare size that you can have for a guard in the WNBA. And if that ends up being something that Atlanta can hone in on and how it can become a really strong piece of theirs moving forward, I think that this trade will end up being a smart move for the dream. So that's what I've got. Number one, Ryan Howard. Number two, the Indiana fever are gonna be selecting as all of you already know. Melissa Smith, 6 foot four, forward, out of Baylor. Basically the Indiana fever have a really easy job to do this upcoming draft with the number two pick. And that is, whoever Atlanta takes number one, you just take the other one number two. So nalyssa Smith is honestly, she very well may end up being the best player taken in this draft. The fever are in desperate need of a big who can rebound and can score efficiently. That's exactly what nalyssa Smith provides you. She averaged 22.1 points per game, 11.5 rebounds per game. And led a really strong Baylor team who many considered worthy of a number one seed as they headed into the March Madness tournament. Now obviously they got eliminated pretty early in the tournament, but still Baylor had a fantastic season. Melissa Smith is honestly, I think she's probably the best rebounder in this class. And she moves into space, really, really well on offense, which allows guards to make entry passes to her. She just reads the floor really well. And moves really well without the ball in her hands. She doesn't have a fantastic outside shot, most of what she does is inside the key or within ten feet and but she does a really good job there and, you know, she doesn't necessarily need to be a stretch big. So we'll end up seeing, we'll see what happens, but I've got Melissa going to the Indiana fever at number two. All right, now if you go to pretty much any mock draft from any source, you're going to find Ryan Howard and Alyssa Smith going one and two. That's.

"Melissa Smith led Baylor bears and also Smith could very well be the number one pick in the WNBA draft and Baylor. I think we think had a chance right at the fourth number one seed before they lost actually on selection Sunday to Texas and Rory Harmon who may not be intimidated by Yukon as well as an incredibly talented young freshman. But what do we think about gay? Why don't you start off telling us a little bit about your thoughts on Baylor? With Melissa Smith is awesome. Google her. If you're listening to us right now and you're like, I don't really know the list of Smith, go ahead and Google her. She does so much interesting stuff. She actually like fired off a catch and shoot three and I think in the semifinal of the big 12 championship and I was just like one of those moments for your eyes light up because she's such a dominant force inside and it's different than how aliyah Boston does it. Leah Boston has a lot more traditional post ups in her game for better or for worse and also Smith doesn't do that as much. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that her team really can't get her a lot of entry passes as well as South Carolina's guards can. But she plays kind of from more of that elbow space a little bit more, not the Leo Boston, doesn't but Smith does it more and it's just so athletic and so she's so strong. She's so much bigger. She's so much faster than everyone else on the court. She consistently catches lobs, which is something that is difficult to find. The vertical game. Yeah, she's the one that really encapsulates that of the women's game right now. She is brilliant. And she's on the team that has plenty of talent, but for all of these teams, the one that's the most one man show ish, I would say, is Baylor. Do you guys agree with that? Yeah, I would certainly agree with that. I feel like the whole bit our team is built around the list of Smiths. She was really the centerpiece and yes, you could say that about South Carolina and Leah Boston, but there's bigger pieces around olea blossom than there are around no less math. And I think you're looking at a very different ballot team than last year. I mean, this team went to the elite 8 last year, but you had degenerate character and you do Richard, you had these other big names around Smith. We're in now this is definitely Melissa smith's team. This is.

"So it's a way for you to be able to freely support the coverage of women's basketball. So we do appreciate all of the Twitch love that we have over there. Let's get into this. Let's hop in and actually start talking about this draft. I'm actually going to tie each of these picks not only to the number of pick, but to the actual team. And I went a little more in depth this time as far as looking at team needs or team personalities. Or where I think that teams might be maybe they're history of players that have been successful for them as a franchise, could influence if I had a couple of two or three players that were really close. That I was looking at in a specific pick for a specific team. I went really in depth into each of the team rosters and kind of where they're at and tried to make some determinations there. But let's go ahead and get started with our number one pick that is going to go with the Washington mystics and if you would have asked me a week or two ago to have this episode, I would have switched my number one picks. But the last couple of weeks have been good to the Kentucky wildcats and to Ryan Howard in particular. Starting to turn things around here. So I think Washington is going to go with Ryan Howard for the number one overall pick. For the last two weeks, I moved nalyssa Smith up from number two up to number one. Simply because Kentucky was looking like they were struggling. Howard seemed to be still putting up some pretty good numbers, but just wasn't being it wasn't able to take over games in ways that she could and should. She had a really strong showing against South Carolina, which ended up in a 9 point loss for Kentucky. But since then, they've rattled off 5 straight W's and are looking like they are going to make the NCAA tournament, which it was looking pretty shaky there for a few weeks, but it looks like they are going to be making the tournament as long as the wheels don't totally fall off. These last few games of the season. So Ryan Howard, here's the reason why she is still my number one overall pick. And that is simply because she is a big guard that she has some really great size for a guard. That's been a really helpful element for a lot of successful guards in the WNBA. Not only that, but she is so comfortable with the ball in her hands. When she's dribbling, shooting, passing, everything she does, it just looks easy. It looks natural. And so I think that, you know, getting into a WNBA franchise working alongside with teammates that are going to be significantly better than her Kentucky teammates, I think that she's going to be really, really able to flourish as a point guard. She's got a fantastic basketball IQ. She has a nose for the ball on defense. She honestly, she's a faster version of Chelsea gray and has a better shot. That's kind of where I see that. So she's really solid there. So I've got Ryan Howard as my number one overall pick again that could easily change. It's still a razor thin margin between Howard and Melissa Smith and B but also, again, taking into consideration team need. I do think that the Washington mystics that Howard fits their roster and fits their team needs very well there. I think that being able to have Howard as kind of an incoming young generation of a guard in that in that roster is going to be a really solid move for them. They've already got quite a few big bodies and so that's why I leaned with Howard going number one as opposed to Alyssa Smith. So I bet you can't guess who is going number two overall to Indiana, Kenya. Number two, overall pick going to the Indiana fever is Melissa Smith. Melissa Smith has done absolutely everything this season to secure her as a lock for the number one number two spot. And she's currently averaging 21.2 points per game, 11, just over 11 rebounds per game as well. And she isn't like a prolific block blocker, you know, she doesn't she doesn't block a ton of shots, but she does play some really solid defense in his in positions to cause the other team, not that she gets a hand on the ball, but the way that she positions herself defensively can affect a lot of the other teams shooting and that's also why she's in place for so many defensive rebounds. She had 14 defensive rebounds just the other day against Oklahoma state. So she's a fantastic player, really excited to see what Alyssa can do in the WNBA. She actually, the way that she moves, I feel that she has a similar vibe, she's kind of like an Asia Wilson light right now. She has a she can move into space on offense. She has a real, just natural, she naturally finds herself where her teammates can get her the ball. And that helps her. She's one of the best, she's one of the most efficient scorers in all of basketball right now. She's shooting 55% from the field. And her free throw shootings looking better and better as the season progresses. She's now up to 70 7% from the line. Started out a little shakier than that. Previously, but looking really strong right now. Melissa Smith, here's the thing. Whether Smith goes to Washington or Indiana. She's going to be a mainstay in this league for a long time. I think there was a lot of question marks about the last couple top prospects going into the league last year. I don't have any question marks around Alyssa Smith. I think she's going to come in and probably be an immediate contributor to whoever decides to take her, whether that's Washington or Indiana. I don't see a circumstance where we see like we had last year with Charlie Collier and owa queer in Dallas where they both got drafted number one number two and then really didn't sniff the floor. So I don't see that being the case for either Howard or Smith here, I think that they're going to be immediate contributors and I'm excited to see what they do. There is a little bit of a gap. I feel like Smith and Howard, number one, number two, I think that's a lock at this point. I mean, even, I mean, even a major injury to either of these players, I still think they go number one number two overall. And which makes the next few picks really interesting. I've gone back and forth and there's been a lot of moving up and down for my picks like three through 12. All right. I constantly am tweaking these picks a lot more than I am my number one number two. However, my number three pick is actually someone who I've had up at number three for the majority of this season. I really, really like what I see from this player. And that is 6 foot 5 center out of old miss Shakira Austin. Shakira Austin has a WNBA ready body. She's able to not just her height, but the strength that she has, she moves really well. I like a lot from what we see from Shakira Austin. If she wants to study some film, if I were her, I would do everything I could to become Sylvia falls two..

"My top ten current seniors in NCAA women's basketball. This is not an official like draft prediction. Because I'm not going to be including any juniors that could be eligible for the draft as well as overseas players. I am specifically looking at players who are finishing up a senior season and will be eligible for the WNBA draft without having to choose that. So that's what we're looking for today and I'm going to be giving you my top ten. I've been watching a lot of film. I've been watching a lot of games. I've been poring over stats. I've been looking at different team fits and a lot of different things that have kind of helped me come up with where I'm currently at with these rankings. So just so everybody knows, these are pretty fluid. I update these probably every other day. I go through and take different notes. And I may move players around. I currently have a full top 24 written out. I'm not going to go into that because that would just be too much for one episode. Last episode, we broke down heavily my top 5 as it stood back towards the beginning of December, I think, is when I released that last episode. Today, as we're getting a little bit closer, we're here in mid January. We're going to be taking a look at the top ten seniors. So we'll see how this plays out, obviously, with different juniors declaring in other overseas players coming into effect. We will be taking all of that into account when we do our official WNBA mock drafts when those come available. So just so a clarification. If you're wondering where your favorite player is that is overseas or your favorite player is that is a junior and very likely to declare from the drift, they will not be included on this list. There you have it. Several players will be just barely missing this list. Don't stress. If your favorite players, not in the top ten, again, like I said, I literally, I spent probably another hour and a half tonight going through and making sure that I was updated on everything in exactly where I wanted things before I pressed record. So you are getting the you're getting this, you're probably not listening to this until the 15th of January. I believe is when this is going to get released. However, I'm recording this the night of the 13th. I've got a really, really busy Friday and Saturday morning. And so I didn't, I know I'm not going to have time to record that. So there may be some games played. There may be injury, I don't know. You're getting this as of ten, 45 p.m. mountain standard time on Thursday, January 13th. So this is where I stand at that point in time. Before I hop right into my list, I do just want to thank each of you who listened to our show, we're seeing some incredible results as far as, as far as where we've been with our with our downloads with our ranks. We mentioned we recently popped into the top 100 basketball podcast and as far as we've been able to find, we are the only WNBA and women's basketball podcast to be included in that top 100. We also are in the top 1% of all podcasts in the world. And if you had told me that 5 years ago, when we started this idea that eventually a podcast about the WNBA and women's basketball would reach a tough 1% status. That would have been, you know, and that would be our show. That would be pretty hard to believe. So we just are super appreciative of each and every one of you and the support that you show us to support that you show this incredible league and that you show women sports across the board. Everywhere and anywhere across the world. So thank you, thank you, thank you. One way to continue to help us to get more and more results get in front of, I was going to say get in front of our eyes, but really just, I guess, into more ears, would be the more appropriate way to say that is if you happen to be on a.

So thank you. Thank you for doing that. We really appreciate it. Let's jump into things. All right, here we go. All right, so last time I recorded this I had Ryan Howard at number one and Alyssa Smith at number two. And I mentioned that they were kind of my top tier that it was really going to come down to those two as far as who I thought would go number one. I think it still is that way. I still put those two players in the top tier. And right now, Ryan Howard is my is still my current number one however the gap that was already not very big. It was a pretty small gap. It's razor thin currently. Because Melissa smith's having some she's playing some fantastic basketball. You know, things are looking really strong for her. Just over her last 6 games. You know, she's averaged 25, 25, 21, 28, 12 and 30 points per game really, really strong showing. She's been in double digit rebounds just about every single game this season. There's only one, two, three, three games, this entire season that she hasn't had double digit rebounds. So now let's just playing fantastic basketball..

"Looking. They just kind of have like a similar posture her camera like they do have a similar imposture and seem to bring in an interesting energy. To that group. And we obviously could talk about Maryland all day. But we should stop at some point because we have a lot of time to talk about this team. I think they're going to big heights. And where is he? We're going to know a lot more about them by the end of the week. Yes. Or not, depending how you feel about these injuries. So we'll see where they are though. I think they got a great coach. I will see them in March, be the team that they are, but if they can come through this stretch here without two huge players to them and possibly a third without diamond, we're talking about the best team in the country, rather than one of them. I didn't want to mention Baylor just really quick, as I mentioned, Jordan Lewis and Sarah Andrews really impressed me. Melissa Smith excellent, as you mentioned, there's like 8 scouts from the WNBA there. And they were there. Hey, there's a lot of great players on the floor. They were all there for the show. They all came for the show. And queen agbo is nice. I think they're, you know, first off, they're getting reset new system. And second off, I just think there's kind of it's not the perfect mix for winning in March. And we'll see but I think they certainly have a chance in the big 12, and I think that Texas bailout game this year is probably going to decide where what's going to happen to them. And I'm looking at their schedule now just to make sure there's not any other huge games that have Michigan on the 19th of December. I don't know what kind of torment that is. Maybe your cat knows that. I know. I was Dewey's having seen a song, sorry about that. So yeah, they have Michigan, the Michigan's obviously going to be a huge game, but they have some time to figure it out. But did you see anything from Baylor that that should make me a little bit more confident of what their mix is going to be when it comes to march? Yeah, I think they're still ironing some things out under Nikki Collin and what she brings. I mean, she's one of those basketball supplants, Gabe who studies the game. I was learning. I was taking notes talking to her, you know, prior to the Marilyn Baylor game just on her philosophies on defense in particular and some of the reads on pick and rolls and what they call it and why they call it that. I mean, honestly, had like the actual notes. And I was asking her questions. I was like, okay, the game is coming up, but tell me again on the spectacle. And they're like, what is that called? And she was telling me all this stuff. And it was really fun, but she's just one of those people that breathes and lives the game. And I just love talking to her. And I love that she's taking this challenge of going to a team that has won three national titles and a perennial tournament winner in the big 12. So you know, for them coming into the Maryland game, I know the last 5 years. They have led the country and defensive efficiency. And I know that that's going to take some time to get back to because yes, you have two of your starters back from last year's deep postseason run. But at the same time, you have a new coach that's coming in with a new way, a couple of new words, terminologies are a little bit different. So I think it's just going to take them some time to iron out what Nikki Collin expects from them, but boy, what we saw on Sunday was pretty darn good because oh my gosh, absolutely. And I think, you know, they're missing three starters from last year's team and they still came in seamlessly. Under new direction, you know, less than ten games into the regular season. So I still think it's hard to quantify what they're going to look like. But I think the sky's the limit just because of what they look like against Maryland and the adjustments in game that they were able to make and they made a strong run at the end. And it was just tremendous game. So I'm excited to see what Baylor continues to look like moving forward because it's not just about Melissa Smith. I mean, they have balance. They have three point shots. I know Brenda free says this is the most in terms of volume of threes that we've seen from a Baylor team in a long time. So I think you're going to see some really good inside outside balance from Baylor this year. We've seen a lot of inside prowess over the years for that program, but I think now you're going to see a little bit of both. Yeah, no, it's going to be really interesting. It's also like Nikkie Collins getting used to the college game. I think I'll remember if you were Sloan said it, but she had mentioned that she had rarely seen zones in WNBA. And now it pretty much every game in college you're seeing it, you're having a zone thrown at you. And so those types of adjustments take time, not just for the players, but for the coaches. So I'm sure they'll look better. Just a little concerned about just how much is around Melissa Smith because you're right, it's not just about her, and Jordan was awesome, as I was saying, but just kind of, you know, how can you get the ball down to your are you taking good threes? Are you able to get those stops when you need it? Like, it has to come together for me first before I believe in the steeler team being like a national title contender. But certainly the talents there certainly the coach is good and certainly they have way more potential right now to get better because it gets all those things we mentioned. You want to talk about South Carolina. You can't do. I do. I do want to mention any other podcast on women's basketball starts off as South Carolina you come. Not this one. That's right. The talking Maryland, whatever. Let's get stuff going. Because we were courtside for the Maryland game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, also, it's very predictable on our podcast that we would talk about Maryland first. Where do you be friend DMV folks, but this game was awesome. 73 57 South Carolina wins, they hold Yukon to three, one, two, three points. In the fourth quarter, as the lowest point total, we have recorded in D one this year. I believe I forget what our stat was. I will look it up as we were talking. But wow, wow. I mean, you know, I.

"Melissa, the last things that I'm curious about is kind of like your podcast, your direction, what you've learned, what you haven't learned, what you're going to do, what you would have done different. All of that, we learned a ton from you. And now I want to wondering is. So I've got three things to wrap up today's conversation with you. And we've learned ton so far. The first one is what is the biggest challenge you're facing with your podcast today? Yeah, my biggest challenge would definitely be getting more listeners, having them growth. And so that's the challenge. I'm working on that now by getting someone on board on my team to help me to have a stronger social media presence and get more listeners. Fantastic. What is the most rewarding or the biggest value to you that you've experienced so far since you started your podcast? The biggest value for me is honestly, I just love it. I love the guest. I love what we talk about. It really improves my quality of life. And it's just a fun time. But of course, also, I'm promoting my services and I'm getting more people to sign up for my masterclass. That's good because I'm using those ads. I'm promoting myself as my own sponsor on my podcast. But it's just definitely the experience. I love it. I love podcasting. That is so brilliant that you're doing that. And to the listener, I absolutely 100% think that you need to be monetizing your show. She's monetizing her show with her own masterclass that gets probably into another level of working with her one on one. And so for you, in particular, I want you to be doing the exact same thing. I want you to be able to monetize your show and I'm trying to think episode 5 episode ten in episode 30 are all about monetization. Episode 5, episode ten in episode 30. So if you want more value on how to.

"So I want to ask you just because you have there's two things that I'm hoping to get from you right now, a, you work with your husband on the podcast, B regardless of who it is, you have a co host. And it makes us think of man should we be working with our spouse? What are the pros word of the cons? Or should we even be working with a co host? What are the pros? What are the cons? So I'm curious if you wouldn't mind giving us a little bit of the pros and cons of in general having co host and what to think of before we make that decision who we work with. And secondly, really go into what it's like to work with a spouse and what we need to be thinking of if that's what the listener is considering doing. Yes, I love this question because I think this is one of the harder parts of my podcast specifically at first. I grew a lot, I learned a lot from working with my husband because I wanted to do that. I was super excited. I've been wanting to podcasts for years, but I for some reason wanted a co host. It's kind of the podcast I enjoy. I really like the skinny confidential, the him and her podcast. I love that dynamic. And I love just being able to have that time actually to connect with my husband and we're both doing it together and it's fun. And I hear his perspective and my perspective. But for me, personally, I really had to learn how to let go, a lot of control and expectation. Because I'm someone that is hyper organized. I am a planner and I really had to kind of relax more and allow things to just be. Because originally, comparing myself to what was in my head and thinking, okay, if we do this together, we really got to keep it 50 50..

"Time, there will come a time where your podcast is going to be more stressful than you could ever imagine. And you'll probably do what 90 something percent of people do and they just quit after 6 episodes or less because they're not batching. So that was a huge takeaway. If you're listening and you're about to start a podcast or if you already have a podcast, find a way to start batching them. And I always say, record more than you publish. So if you're doing like four episodes a week, try to record maybe 7 episodes a month. Or if you're doing four episodes a month, try to record 7 episodes a month, so you're always ahead and you're never behind the 8 ball. You're never stressed. And if you need to take a vacation if you need to take a break, you have those episodes in the can. You mentioned Melissa a giveaway to boost your growth in the first couple of weeks. You kind of did a few things, but maybe you could have done a giveaway. Yeah. Or the listener, what could they do tangibly type of giveaway? What might be a good plan for the listener to do if they're about to launch a pod? Yeah, I would say whether you're a service provider or you have a product or even if you don't, you can do an Amazon gift card, but I would really promote a giveaway. Be really excited about your podcast. And ask for those reviews and those listens to boost that launch today and that launch week in that launch month so that you get as many people over there as possible because if you have a great incentive, a great giveaway that can really help. And one of my business coaches that I got the idea from her because I saw her do that and she shot up to the news and note are the new and noteworthy. Yeah. And she got a lot of reviews by doing that because she was giving away her really high ticket coaching and she gave away several things actually. She really wanted to get a bunch of reviews and it worked really well. Wow. Very interesting. I'm trying to wonder if I should do something like that. This podcast is already launched. We're already several episodes in. But being able to boost that way is incredible. I've told a lot of clients to make phone calls. This isn't about a giveaway, but it helps you to be able to gain that what's the best term for it. I would say social proof. As you're getting ratings and reviews, then it's kind of like Amazon. When you're on Amazon, yes, you love that you can buy stuff in your underwear or less. And you also probably love that you don't have to put on makeup or drive anywhere and you still get your stuff. But I think what really people like the most out of Amazon isn't that they can buy stuff from the comfort of their own home. But I really think that it's because they can easily see the ratings and reviews, the social proof, whether or not this is a good product. And so they can do that with, quote, peace of mind..

"My dad would not let me come home early. And I had to make a commitment if I start this podcast. In my case, this was a meetup. If I start this meet up, I'm going to go every single week for at least one year. Even if nobody shows up. And I remember feeling that and thinking about being the only one at a meetup group, by myself, just because I was imagining it, what on the worst case scenario, what would it be like? And I remember thinking like, okay, I'll just have my laptop with me and I'll just get some work done. So I made that commitment and the first week it snowed like ten inches and by the way, there's the worst snowstorm in four hours to snow ten inches. And my car was balding tires because it came from Florida now to Denver. And that was one of the hardest decisions to say, man, I promised myself that I would just keep going. Because there was always things. And the first one, there was only four people. And then 5 people, and then three people, and then 6 people. It was frustrating. It was difficult. But eventually, because I did what you are doing, listen, being consistent. And I hope this inspires you and I hope this inspires the listener as well. That meetup group that lunch club, I met every single lunch became one of the top 6 well-known meetups in the entire world out of 225,000 meetups, only because of the consistency, only because I decided that rain or shine or snow or nobody shows or lots of people show I gotta show up, and it made a huge impact in my life. So I want people to really hold on to what you said that you will do to consistency no matter what. You also had that impostor syndrome. Everyone's going to feel that. I felt that way with my meetup. I feel that way today with my podcast, 'cause I know that I'm not very eloquent, and I know that somebody always knows more than me and today is a matter of fact I've learned a lot from Melissa Smith on this one podcast. And here I am trying to be the host of the podcast on podcasting and it's tough..

"But I think you have like 15 here or 12 here. So number one pro is you knew that you had to have a first impression. Because the first impression is the lasting impression. Number two, you focused on the cover art. And part of that, later on, you mentioned that you used canva to do it, which is another huge benefit. We'll put a link to canva in the show notes so that if you want to use the same thing and be able to do some of this on your own without hiring somebody with a high expense, you will be able to still make something that looks professional. You also talked about a trendy name, a name that would trend a title of the podcast that people would see. I also loved it. You talked about how it needs to resonate with your exact listener. And you went in to knowing the importance of niching down finding your niche of basically focus of focusing on one thing. And I remember just as we were starting to record it probably wasn't on the recording. So I'll definitely bring it up to the listener. With you, you have your MBA, you also have some designation about nutrition. I don't even know what it's called. It's so fancy. And additionally, your mindset coach. And with your podcast, you don't really go all out there. You're not one of those people that says, hey, I'll just have a podcast about all the cool things that I do. You found that you needed a niche and you did a great job actually niching down. But additionally, if you ever go on and talk about nutrition, it goes hand in hand with that episode about still with mindset. So I love it. And just kind of growing I think that's critical and it's important because others, they kind of get off the tracks. And when you're a train, it's not good when you're not on the tracks. So you've got to stay focused, you've got to stay going the right direction. You don't want to be derailed. And so you'd also don't want your listener to feel derailed. So I've learned a lot from you already just from those few things, making sure that it's something that people can resonate with. Niching down, staying on track. Knowing the value that you deliver to your listener, the episodes are focused, your social media is focused. And here's a huge one that you mentioned. It's consistency no matter what. And it can be tough. I don't know if you felt this way, Melissa, have you ever felt like man, I don't know if I want to keep doing this..

"I remember it was always a challenge until I started playing music. I started junior high. I got into the junior high band. I didn't even want to take junior high. I want to take metal shopper wood shop. I was in 8th grade and they put me with all these 7th graders, brand new bells. And it changed my life. And so it's interesting. I remember saying because my life was changed by this. I wanted to help other people. So guess what I decided that I was going to go to school for and I went to school to become a music teacher, a junior high band director, because that's where I got the most value. And so obviously you have learned a lot through these podcasts. They inspire you. And that turns you into wanting that your why behind the why. I want to support other people. I totally resonate with that. However, you probably didn't do everything right. No way. And so I'm very curious. And I know the listener's going to get a ton of value. If we can discuss what you did to start that podcast after being inspired and knowing you wanted to do it. What were some of the steps you did and then I really want to hear you pour into the listener, the pros and the cons. The things that you did super duper well that seemed to explode your growth. And the other things that seemed to like, they were stressful, they might have held you back. And with those two things, all the pros and the cons of what you learned starting a podcast, I think that that will help the listener be able to be more streamlined in their podcast journey. Yes, definitely. I'll start with the good things. The things that we're actually on my radar and that helped me and then I'll go into the things that I.

"You get as many people over there as possible. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. And we are back with another episode of podcast on podcasting. And is there ever a time that you can think of that you're thinking to yourself, man? I don't know if I can achieve that. I don't know if I'm good enough for that. I don't know if I'm the right person for that. I don't know if I'm smart enough. I don't know if I have the right education. I don't know if I'm cool enough or charismatic enough. Or that I eloquent enough like Adam Adams is absolutely the last least eloquent person ever. And so have you ever thought like that? It's going to be difficult for me to achieve something because really it's just your brain that's holding you back. Well, perfect. Perfect. So have I and probably Melissa, who's on the podcast today, has probably felt that way as well. And then she's devoted her life and time and attention to helping people to be able to overcome those limiting beliefs. And so she Melissa Smith, who's on the podcast. Her podcast is called high vibe mindset. So you go and check that out, especially if you resonated with anything that I mentioned a moment ago. She and her husband get together. He's a PA, and she's a mindset coach and a dietician. And so what they do, they come together and they just help people as their new entrepreneurs themselves to be able to avoid and get past these limiting beliefs so that you can excel. So if you feel like you could use a little bit of that perfect, she's already got a podcast like that. And she started it January of 2021. And so as we're recording, not too long ago, and so I'm just looking at all these episodes and each and every one of them has something in there that I want to learn..

"Because no matter what, I think all of us are inclined to want to have sexy time with our partner or partners. Or ourselves, whatever, no judgment here. But I think all of us are inclined to do that. But what's interesting is sometimes we're not in the flow of it before it happens and it's almost awkward. Maybe we're worried if our partner is going to say that they have a headache or our partner is going to say maybe not tonight. Do you think we could do it in the morning? And in some cases, like even though human beings are so interested and naturally gravitate toward sexy time as coach Xavier put it. Sometimes we just don't do it because it's like that first step is like what do I do first? Do I kiss her neck? What do I do first? She wants extra call it foreplay. Sorry, guys. If you're offended or if there's any non adults, what does he or she want? Like, how am I going to do it? And what if they're too tired or too sick? And we have all of these things in our head that hold us away from sexy time, but then once we're doing it, we're excited we're happy and we go all out and we don't even think about all those things that held us back from it. So I don't know if you can relate to that. There's many things though in C that we could talk about. We talked about AB in the C is really just taking that first step. For other examples, most of us love the way we feel after we work out. It releases endorphins, just like sexy time. It releases endorphins. And it's the exercise makes us feel happier. It gives us more energy. It makes us stronger and being able to do more things outside, makes us want to get outside and it's an upward spiral. It's something that compounds on itself, day after day, and we just feel great working out. But not all of us work out every day. But I can say with sexy time with working out with getting outside in the sun with doing a morning routine, you can know that as this relates to a podcast, once you start, you can't stop. Once you start it, you're not going to just quit. You're not just going to dabble in it and then leave. These things like working out once you start feeling the exercise and the endorphins once you're getting outside into the sun, it gets you in the zone for that thing. And just like sexy time or working out or going outside or doing your morning routine or reading a book at the end, you're always so glad you did it. Even though in the beginning, you might be in your own head. I believe that Maya might be a little in her head, right? A little bit in her head. Obviously, she has a lot of responsibilities, that's goes without said. And so do you. So, my suggestion for the takeaway C is, you really need to just get started. And that's exactly what I did today. I wrote down a bunch of names of clients that we are working with issues that they had to come up in their journey of podcasting growing their podcast offloading their podcast, making their podcast something that they're excited about. I wrote down a bunch of names today. And I got thrilled and excited. I went from men, do I really, it's time for me to make an episode for 1111. It's time and something was holding me back. I was like, damn, I don't know what I want to talk about. I feel like I've already talked about everything. And I wasn't quite in the zone. I wasn't quite there. I was in my own head, and I was holding myself back from doing something that was good. That was pleasurable. That made me happy that helped other people that leaving a legacy giving back to other people is what drives me and I was in a stuck spot and I had to just start. I had to just take that first step. And so I wrote down Maya and a few other clients names who you'll hear on future the next few episodes as well. And I got in the zone. I said, I'm going to record these. I'm excited. And now, you know, I'm aroused to use sexy time terms. And I'm going to finish to use sexy time terms. Excuse the pun. We'll definitely mark this episode as explicit. I don't want anyone being offended or anything like that. But hopefully sexy time working out getting outside morning routine. Hopefully a lot of these are things you can relate to relate with and can help give you more motivation to push past stress, especially during the holidays that may or may not be coming up for you when you hear this message. So I'm going to let you go as you know as many of you know if you listen to this episode for a while. My even numbered episodes and odd number episodes go back and forth. So every other episode. This is episode number one O 6. Every other episode is me just pouring into you, sharing real life stories, tangible things that I think can help you get to the next level.
