I got to sit down with my friend, Buddy Broyles. We had been connected online for two years but never actually talked until a few weeks ago. Turns out he thinks about podcasting almost exactly like I do.
Buddy owns Blue Mic Studios, a podcast and video production studio in the DFW area. He has spent 35 years behind cameras and mics, from live news to corporate training video. Now he helps small business owners and local brands turn conversations into real clients.
Key Takeaways
- A 20 minute episode can turn into 15 to 20 short clips for social media
- You do not need viral numbers, 50 engaged listeners can build a business
- Guesting on other shows adds real authority, right alongside running your own
- Recording episodes ahead of schedule keeps your show consistent without burnout
- AI works best for generating better questions, not writing your answers
Listen If You...
- You like talking with people more than talking at a microphone alone
- You want a show that turns real conversations into real clients
- You are the type of person people already come to for advice

About the Show
#MeetCoolPeople is where founders, creators, and entrepreneurs share real stories about building businesses that matter. Hosted by Ely Delaney, each episode goes past surface-level advice to uncover the mindset shifts, failures, and frameworks that separate people who talk about success from people who actually build it.
#MeetCoolPeople
We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.
The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that.
It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.
And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others.
So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!
Thank you again for helping spread the word and have an amazing day!
