Bing bong bing oooooooohh. In Ep #6 we’re exploring the topic of vibing. I recently had a chat with Erika from The Balance Theory and she brought up how small connections can create a vibe, a unique atmosphere shared between the podcaster and their guest or listener. I expand upon that analogy of crossing a river and how each stone is a connection that adds to the experience, before finishing off with some boostagrams and an actionable takeaway to implement for yourself.
Big shoutout to Aaron from the Salonomics podcast and Chad F. Huge tekkers on these lads!

Bow Chicka Chicka Ooh, yeah. Welcome everyone, to episode six of the value for value podcast. My name is Kyrin and I am a podcaster by day and obviously a lounge singer by night. And this podcast is for those who want to explore more of the value for value model, more of the podcasting 2.0 apps and tags. And everything that there is going on in the world of podcasting, right on the bleeding edge on the new cool stuff that is coming up. Now, today's episode is going to be about music vibing and small stepping stone. So individual notes, when you're listening to a song can make up the vibe of the song, the atmosphere, the ambience, and I feel that small stepping stones and mini connections can add up to this as well. So we're really going to be diving into what is a vibe, and what is vibing and the small stepping stones that can make up this process of it. So what is vibing it's a very good place to start. And I have here a definition from the free dictionary.com I was actually wrong in one of my old episodes, you can apparently get free things because there's the Free Dictionary. Now this definition goes something like this vibing is a distinctive emotional quality or atmosphere that is sensed or experienced by someone. Now my question is, can you create this with an audience? Can you create this for yourself as well? Recently, I had a chat with Erika de Pellegrin, who is from the balance theory podcast, another Australian podcast here. And I was asking her a question about standout moments that she's had with her guests and audience.
And this is a clip that I took from that where she responded to that question. And so everything I do with the podcast is purely from a place of wanting to connect with people. And so when that connection is reciprocated, for me, it's like it marries up. And I'm like It's a match. People are seeing what I'm doing. And they're vibing. And they're like, you know, they're connecting with what I'm putting out there. And that's it that just makes them a world. And I could be honestly as simple as someone just leaving a review or sending me a message directly on socials. And of course, like other moments have been, in particular episodes where I've really connected with a guest more than what I thought I would put, like, I genuinely reach out to guests that I've read their books, I've been following them on socials, or they also have a podcast is something that's drawn me to them already. So there's already that baseline connection. But when they also sort of connect with me, we're really, really connecting and vibing. And, you know, once the recording is done, we're on there chatting for half an hour, that for me is also something else, I think, Wow, I never would have had this conversation or met this person or had the opportunity to have a conversation with them had it not been for the podcast, it's just such a nice stepping stone, you know, like you and you and I our paths were very unlikely to ever have crossed. And you know, and we support each other on social media. And we touch base every now and again. And that's so nice as well. So just all the little friendships that have come with it, or the messages here and there, they really do add up to fueling my why and making it stronger and stronger every day. So that's been so nice.
After listening to that, you can obviously see where I got the idea for today's episode connections and stepping stones and vibing. So Erica repeated vibing quite a few times that she repeated connections especially. And then I just really liked the analogy of stepping stone. So I want to try and create a story here, see if this is something that you might relate to. And if this is something that might make sense to you, with reference to the value for value model and connecting with your audience. So I like to think of going across the stream. So we've all been there, we've gone out to you know, some beautiful place in nature, there's lots of small stones around, it's a gentle stream, and you're wanting to get across for the fun of it for the hell of it. So you might have a goal to cross the stream. So this could be you trying to create your podcast into something that you can live off this could be creating your podcast to help people this could be whatever it is that you want. And there's a bunch of stepping stones connections in this case that you will need to make to get across the river. So this might be creating connections with people to help you out the podcast with growing an audience with you know, maybe you have a very selected one, maybe you have a big one, it's you know, it doesn't really matter. And I really like I'm thinking of the different types of stones that you might cross in this. So you'll have some big and gold like stones aka maybe a desired guest or someone who is ahead of you in the podcasting journey someone you aspire to be so someone who you can follow in their footsteps. You might have some small and write their stone. So these are the stones you initially start off with when you're starting to podcast or create something this will be your family, your friends, your immediate connections that you've already used, and they're a big stable base right there for you to jump off with. There might be some hidden stone so these could be you know, dedicated listeners that are hidden below. to the surface, they might rise sometimes when the stream is going low, or there might always be there, and you're never really sure you can't really tell. And you might even have some slippery stones that will burn you. So these could be crappy fans or fake people, these could be people who just aren't there, or they're trying and you connect with them. And it's like, oh, God, I wish I didn't jump on that stone, that's a not so great of a connection. And then some that could just lead to dead end. So you know, you follow a random path, you go down, and then you're like, Oh, crap, I can't jump anywhere from here. So I'm gonna have to jump backwards, a couple of stones, and then try a new way. So I really just like that idea of connections. So you're connecting with different people. And it's almost I don't want to use another analogy of a web. But that is part of it as well, you'll find that Oh, with if I jump on to this stepping stone, I can then access all of these other different ones. So you know, if I make friends with this person over here, if I jump into this podcasting community, then Holy crap, I've got all of these other options opening up for me. So I really just liked that idea of of stepping stones and connections and how, if you're using them, you can get ahead and whatever it is that you're trying to achieve. Now, the other part of this is vibing, obviously, so we've talked about vibing as being a distinctive atmosphere or something that you experience. And I really think the best way in this analogy to get that is to, to really not to focus too much on being critical analytical on creating these connections by really going hard after it by really saying, oh, this person, I need to get this, etc, etc. I like to think of it more as you know, if you're going to cross the river, let's just say you're a child, you've got that childlike nature in you, you're just going to jump on whatever stones are ahead of you, you're not looking too far into the future, if you fall on some and get wet, oh, well, that happens. If not, you know, you keep going you you balance, you're unsure of what's happening, you go here you go there. And it's that atmosphere, that's the, that's the sort of correct vibe you want to be creating for yourself, because that's the one that people a will respond to, and be, you'll enjoy the hell out of so even if you do end up in a dead end, even if you do get wet and you know, falling back, hell, you had a lot of fun doing that. And you can always try again, you can always just get back, jump on some stepping stones and, and move forward again in the future. So I just think that analogy that Erica brought up there was was really great of stepping stones of connections and vibing. So putting that all in together and saying you know, reach out to some people use those connections because you will find that you will probably enjoy it and create a nice atmosphere from that. So speaking of connections, it is boostagram time I am going to try and create some music for this something to really properly introduce it. But for the moment, we'll stick with this. And this is the value for value model. And this is the value for value podcast, so I better damn well be doing this correctly. So I want to give some shout outs to some people who were helping support this podcast and you know, I really don't care about the monetary stuff at the moment but it is nice to see it come in and it you know it does fill me with joy. It does create a great vibe for me. So I've got a couple of boostagrams to go over here.
So the first two from Aaron at Salonomics. I've talked about the silent omics podcast before first is yes me making history second boostagram. Keep it going, Kyrin. And thank you very much. That was 100 SATs sent using Breez. The second one is Hey, Kyrin still blows my mind how cool this is here. Have some sets. Thank you, Erin. I will have some sets. And yes, I totally agree. I still froth over being able to send people you know it's so funny. Like you can send an Instagram to whoever you want. But there's just something so much more satisfying and sending a boosta gram seeing the confetti go and knowing like hey, I'm supporting someone directly here. This is super, super cool. The other three from Chad F Chad Farrow, a supporter of the Mere Mortals and supporter of the value for value podcast. Thank you, Chad. And he said this message three times really enjoying your value for value podcast, he sent that using custom Matic. And he repeated that three times over now, we actually found out that Castamatic was having a weird thing going on where you weren't sure you were sending your histogram. So he actually sent three in of the same message for I think was a sum total of around 2300 SATs. So accidental SATs, but I'll take them thank you very much Chad really, really appreciated. And that is it for the boostagram corner for today. So thank you, Chad and Erin, and thank you everyone else who was streaming and SATs and you know, it just really does. It's so much fun. I really, really enjoy it. That's all I can say with regards to that. I'd like to end these off with a request and maybe a tip so one thing I was thinking of was okay connections. How have I been doing that recently? And am I following my own advice? Am I following what I was talking about here? And I do, but there's always something that can be done a little bit more. And here's one that I had on my to do list but haven't got around to it for a while, I actually got a small message a small Instagram message on just a random comment on one of our posts that we did somewhere from a another podcast I connected with a long time ago called The it's simple podcast. And so they lent they left a small message, you know, nothing crazy, but hey, shows they're interested shows they're engaged shows that they care somewhat about the me and model. So I am going to listen to one of their episodes and respond in kind make sure I'm giving back the value to those who are giving it to me. And for a more effort one, this is one I've also been delaying for a while I just mentioned that Chad was sending those boostagram messages via Castamatic Castamatic at the moment and for the foreseeable future is only going to be on iOS, aka Apple phones. I do not have one.
So I have not talked about it much. But my brother has one. So I'm going to steal my brother's phone for a bit. I'm going to play around with it, try it out. So I'll be able to say hey, I have used the cosmetic app and I am showing support using those apps that are being created by people and in the podcasting to bluno community and I really want to support everyone who's doing that. So my recommendation for D is if you have an Apple phone, Hey, give our customers a try. Listen to whoever you want to on that. Listen to your normal podcasts, listen to a podcasting 2.0 podcast, listening to a value for value or the value for value podcast. All of those are great suggestions. That is it for today. I really hope you vibe off of this episode. I hope you gained some interesting connections that you could make some interesting stepping stones along your journey across this dream in your podcasting in your independent creating journey, whatever it is that you're doing, and that is it for today.
