You can always tell when someone is more of an entrepreneur than a content maker because they think they need to impress people with their knowledge on the subject instead of making something that actually meets them on their level.
So true, there are so many podcasters out there that are “subject matter experts” that I’ve tried getting into but it feels like most of the time they are talking about things at a level they only really their colleagues or the top folks in their field would understand. Ends up being too high of a barrier.
I really think it depends on what you are trying to do.
For entrepreneurs that know their audience is largely going to be beginners, then this is great advice, but sometimes the community is fairly mature, and to differentiate you may need more depth in your content, otherwise you start to sound like everyone else. So take the above with a grain of salt and think about your audience overall!
