This year, Aveline Clarke undertook a rebrand and relaunch of what was previously the 6Star Business and 6Star Leaders podcast after she took a break. I asked her about the impact of the rebrand on her podcast performance, and the process she undertook to reflect on her own by asking three questions.

We also discuss her unique interview style that isn’t a blueprint for scripting an interview - instead, she prepares the constraints within which she can adapt and change the conversational flow while simultaneously reflecting with the guest to show how she listens.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Aveline tackles brilliant conversations, self-care, rebranding a podcast and how she stays in touch with her inner goals and avoids the external pressure. I always enjoy chatting with Ave, and I know you’ll enjoy our conversation.

Its easy to start your podcasting journey and feel far away from the top 1%. And if you feel like you can get there easily, you might find the journey harder than you thought. But the key is not to be stuck in the quagmire of the present, but build your grand vision of where podcasting can take you.

This is the fifth and final foundational episode of this podcast as an introduction to me, Matthew Bliss, the host of RE:Thinking Podcasting through sharing with you my career, a bit of my life and how my thinking has changed on my podcasting journey so far.

In this episode you will hear about my pivot into why this podcast came about, a few choice opinions about the direction of the podcast industry, and a reality-check: that its not about what the rest of the world is doing... Its about what you do.

And, once again, you'll hear Coffee with a Podcaster mentioned: where this show began and has transformed into Re:Thinking Podcasting. I'm now creating what I had always intended: helping podcasters think and reflect deeply about podcasting - but there's still a few other projects waiting in the wings...

If there's something you'd like to share with me about this podcast or the podcasting world, I'd love to hear it! Get in touch by email (business@mbpod.com) and put RTP in the subject line.

If you'd like me to answer your query on the podcast, head to https://www.speakpipe.com/RTP and record your message (mention your podcast if you like!).
