  SPEAKER_00: Hey my friend, welcome to this episode of the Daily Rider Podcast.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: Before I get into the content for today's episode, I mentioned this yesterday, but I'm going to mention it again today in case you didn't catch that episode.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: I am thrilled to share that my brand new book, 18 Words to Live By, A Father's Wisdom on What Matters Most, is available.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: It just released yesterday, and this is a book that is a short, fast read covering 18 values to guide your life.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is a very different kind of a book because this was actually a gift for my son for his 18th birthday, which was yesterday.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: And therefore I didn't do any advanced promo or build a launch team or anything like that.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is just a book that I wanted to write for him and therefore am sharing with you as well.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: The book is a compass, kind of a collection of essential values to carry with you on life's journey.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: And these are values that help you become a person of character.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: And in the book, I talk about values like empathy, responsibility, integrity, freedom, forgiveness, and much more.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Each of these 18 short chapters is written almost like a letter.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: You can read each one of these in just a few minutes.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: I very intentionally made this a short, quick read that you can get through really fast.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: And by the way, the book also makes a wonderful gift for the graduates in your life, whether they're high school or college graduates or maybe even something else.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: They make a great gift for graduates.
• 1:30

  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's get to today's content for this episode.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: You know, being an author in our media age isn't just about creating books or written content, it's also about creating a media platform that consists of video, podcasts, social media, and more.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now, of course, I encourage you to take advantage of all these for yourself.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: In addition, you can greatly increase your network if you're a guest on other people's media platforms.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And the most common way to do this is by being a guest on someone's podcast.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: It is an incredibly powerful way to borrow someone's audience, add value to their listeners, grow your network, and share your message.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're new to this strategy, find a few shows in your niche and share with the podcast host why you would make a great guest.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Put the focus on adding value whenever you're pitching that podcast host.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: Don't necessarily just focus on here's why I want to be a guest on your platform.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Focus on how you can serve the host and their listeners.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: And after you've done a few appearances as a podcast guest, you'll begin to get more invitations and build some momentum, and eventually you'll have a lot of these.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, you can build a great online presence if you only focus on this strategy.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Being a guest on other people's podcasts, shows, and media platforms is the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way to grow your audience.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Here's today's question: what are three topics you could talk about as a podcast guest?
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks so much for listening to today's episode.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: I want to take a moment to let you know about our daily writer membership community.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: You know, one of the very best ways to develop better habits and impact more people's lives with your writing is to spend time around other successful writers.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're tired of feeling isolated and chasing success on your own, then I know you're gonna love the Daily Writer community.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: For years, I searched for the kind of writing community that I would want to join, but I can never find what I wanted, so I created my own.
