Over the weekend, I was able to complete my episode with Mark Shapiro. I also had a phone call with Marcy Levy Shankman, who is a consultant and works with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to help develop leadership. We set up a time to meet on Wednesday. She also gave me some people whom I could reach out to.

Tuesday, I started my day researching Dr. Shankman. I listened to a podcast Dr. Shankman was on and read a research paper she wrote about emotionally intelligent leadership. It is a new view of leadership, which I am excited to learn about. I then, last minute, decided it would be best to publish my podcast today because of the inauguration happen tomorrow. I thought it would be hard to post about it the day of or the day after because it would not get attention. I listened to the podcast again and decided I wanted to rerecord the ending, so I quickly did that and then got the podcast out as soon as possible. I then made sure it was on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and I shared it with as many social media platforms as possible. I also made sure to send it to Coach Stevens. Getting everything together and finally posting it was very stressful, but I am glad I got it out, and hopefully, a lot of people will listen to it. I spent time emailing people, some of whom I had already reached out to before, to see if they would give some of their time and come on my podcast. In-person learning started today, so my sister was out of the house. It made it difficult for me because if my parents needed anything, I was the only one here to help, so sometimes I would have to pause my work. Releasing the podcast today felt like a major milestone, and I am excited to post the next one next week.

On Thursday, I had my interview with Jaime Irick. It was good and unique, adding a new perspective to my podcast. After the interview, I started setting up a platform to help with distribution. There were a lot of great free ones to choose from, so I had to research which one to use. I decided to use Sounder. I put in all of the info I needed and then started submitting my podcast to different platforms. Right now, it’s on Tune In, and I am waiting for Apple Podcasts and Spotify to approve it. I then started editing my interview with Jaime and did a little with my interview with Mark. I reached out to some local people to see if they would come on my podcast. I also asked if they knew anyone that I could talk to. Hopefully, HOBY will have some connections. On Friday, I wrote my speaking parts for the Scott Snook and Jaime Irick episodes. I also tried recording a new trailer for my podcast, which I like better. I uploaded it, and it will be the first thing people see on my podcast. I wa...

Thursday was an editing day. It definitely was one of my hardest days because I have listened to these interviews so many times, it is hard to focus while editing them. I started with the interview with Dr. Shankman. I was able to remove the high pitch noise after trying many different effects, but then it made the audio sound different, so I had to try to make it sound more natural. I then went to the part I had to record with my phone, and my part sounded good, but hers sounded like she was on the phone. I first removed the hissing from the computer, and I am still trying to make her part sound better. I then went on to edit my conversation with Professor Snook. The other day, I attempted many times to get an intro, background, and outro I liked, but I decided I was not happy with it, so I re-recorded it. I also made some edits to the Jaime Irick interview. I am close to getting the audio from the Amy Latimer interview, which is good because I haven’t gotten to listen to the recordin...

On Wednesday, I worked on my questions for Dr. Shankman and finished them up. I then recorded my Scott Snook intro and outro, so I could start finalizing the edits. It probably took me 15 tries to get the one I liked. The fifteenth one is definitely the hardest because you have to still sound enthusiastic and genuine. After that, I had my interview with Dr. Shankman, which went as well as I could have asked for, considering all of the issues I had. My computer told me it was low on storage and said there might be issues saving the recording, so I quickly tried to delete things while on the call and then tried recording. Halfway through, the recording stopped because it said there was no storage left, so I had to record on my phone. There was also a high pitch noise once in a while, which I will have to edit out. I don’t think Dr. Shankman was aware of all of the things going on during the interview, but I am hoping it turns out all okay. Besides all of the issues I had, one of the main...
