Heading to your first podcast event? Get ready for a whirlwind of excitement and awkward encounters! First things first, business cards are your best friends. But not just any cards—make sure it’s got your website on it, preferably not a link tree that screams 'I don’t have my life together.' A QR code on your card is like having a secret weapon—people love scanning stuff, and it’s a great way to direct them to your show without you having to say a word. Dress comfortably, too! Trust me, you’ll be on your feet and walk A LOT. And while you’re at it, throw in some breath mints and chapstick because, guess what? You’ll be chatting up a storm, and no one wants to be the person with chapped lips or dragon breath. Pro tip: hydrate like you’re preparing for a marathon and pack some granola bars; you might just forget to eat amidst all the networking madness. Finally, don’t be shy! Approach people, strike up conversations, and remember—everyone’s probably as nervous as you are. Just fake it till you make it, and before you know it, you’ll be the life of the podcasting party!Takeaways: First things first, don’t forget your business cards or a QR code to impress people. Comfortable shoes are a must because you’ll be on your feet all day long. Drink water and pack snacks; you don’t want to starve while networking, trust me. Follow up with people after the event; don’t let those connections fade away. Dress in layers because conference rooms can go from sauna to freezer in seconds. Fake your way through the small talk; just ask others what brings them to the event.
