Cool to see you on here! I remember listening to your podcast a while back actually... seems I caught it early on!
Your angle for the podcast is interesting too, making it stand out more.
I've been listening to lots of business/entrepreneurial minded podcasts over the years. Actually, the idea is that I'm gonna start my own fairly soon. But it will be focused on other topics that are of interest to me, rather than business/work.
Have you found any fellow podcasters here on Steem so far?
(I see you've got a bunch of messages here, so don't feel like you have to respond lol)
Whoa, that's awesome that you've listened to my podcast. Thanks for checking it out! I unfortunately haven't dedicated a lot of time yet to exploring here, so haven't run across podcasters. I'm really new here.
I certainly understand the time aspect here -- and social media can become very time consuming too.
There are a couple podcasts that I come to think of right off the bat. Mostly they are focused in one way or another around topics relating to the Steem blockchain; There's StemitTalkPodcast @steemittalk, Steemit Community Discussions @steemitcommunity, Beyond Bitcoin by @officialfuzzy and a few others. Pirate Podcast Radio just released their first episode, introduced by my former partner in crime @beanz and one of the new bloggers I follow @sirlunchthehost.
There are a also a couple of great writers. @neilstrauss comes to mind; He was also a speaker at the first SteemFest.
There really is a lot of great content on this site. It's just a bit chaotic and hard to find at this moment, mainly because of the beta stage and the issues that can come with running a start up in general I think.
-I should probably tell you something as a new member that might come as a surprise otherwise. There's something here called a "downvote" or a "flag" depending on who you're talking to. This is a hot topic, because of how Steem is set up as a more or less decentralized network.
The thing is that the downvote was made into a a "flag" with several rules/guidelines for flaggging, but in the end they just now ended up changing these guidelines to be no more than a list of a few common reasons why people flag. Now the "flag" is once again really just a (sometimes potentially very powerful, depending on who votes) downvote, but with a confusing icon.
The above is the reason why I've recently decided to include the short line "[I] Flag based on Steemits guide" in my profile description. This way I'm hoping to avoid some of the confusing discussions that we've had over flagging/downvoting for some time now.
The main thing to rememer is probably not to take a downvote personally so far; It could be due to any reason what so ever.
ps. there's also this blog post, where you can chime in on the matter real quick should you want to
