037: Scott Mulvaney Part II: On Podcasting and Gender Marketing Styles

As mentioned in my previous episode, we’re changing things up on the podcast and bringing you all in for the journey. Thus, we’ve split this particular episode into two parts. Part I (Episode 36) had addressed Scott’s corporate background and how he transitioned into an elite branch of firefighting known as the Hotshots. Coincidentally enough, a movie based on the Hotshots just came out in theaters in September and Scott mentioned knowing about 17 of the 19 who’ve sacrificed their lives in order to be of service to others.

In this episode we continue our conversation on podcasting and gender marketing styles. Please note, these are just generalizations and of course there are exceptions. We dive into the topic of vulnerability to connect to your audience—who you’re meant to serve and who are meant to learn from you.

This is Part II of my conversation with Scott Mulvaney. If you haven’t listened to Part I, you could listen to it here.

If you happen to be in the Philadelphia area, this weekend, Sunday I’m proud to present at a workshop in partnership with PHLBloggers. (Details are below under Resources and Events Page.)

Quotes from Scott 

You have to put in the reps. Those mistakes, those failures—that’s what teaches you the most… If you don’t start taking action, or putting in the work, or go get that job, in a couple different roles that may potentially be how you want to run your company, you don’t know and you’ve never made the mistakes in that position. So how are you supposed to learn from that and use that in the future to grow your own business? (4:32)

The one thing I learned really fast when we got assigned our first was ‘holy crap, here’s reality.’ They talk about it, they have you study it, they have you memorize it, but it’s a whole different world until you get out into that fire line. That goes for business. You think you’re prepared for everything until you turn that website on, or you turn your podcast on, or you open the front door of your new studio… if you’re not willing to take action and take the risks, how are you supposed to learn? (5:25)

You’ve gotta stop with the comparison stuff. Us guys, we compare stuff too, but we also realize, ‘You know what? Forget you, I’m posting it, it’s either gonna work or it’s not, and if it doesn’t I’m gonna learn something from that.’ And trust me, there are definitely some ladies that embrace that and get it done. (24:27)
