We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Irvin Scott. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Irvin below.
Irvin, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
My goal is to leave a legacy. I want people to remember me as someone who never gave up, who valued the support of family and friends, and who always believed in the power of perseverance. I hope to be remembered for my open-mindedness and creativity, especially in my podcast and business endeavors, and for inspiring others to follow their dreams and overcome challenges.
Irvin, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my story. My name is Irvin Scott, and I’m the founder and host of The Grizzly Podcast. My journey into this industry has been driven by a deep passion for connecting with others and a desire to make a meaningful impact by sharing their stories.
I launched The Grizzly Podcast because I saw a gap in the podcasting industry that needed to be filled. While it seems like everyone has a podcast these days, many are unwilling to take risks due to corporate control and influence. I’m here to change that. I want to connect with my audience and engage listeners on a deeper level.
What sets us apart is our commitment to releasing quality content focused on specific topics and interesting interviews, creating a more immersive and enjoyable experience for our listeners and viewers.
One of the things I’m most proud of is being featured in publications. It’s a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication.
To our listeners, viewers, followers, and fans, I want you to know that we are dedicated to understanding you and your interests. We aim to help and inspire you all.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Building my audience on social media has been an incredible journey. It started with a clear vision and a genuine passion for connecting with people. I focused on creating content that was not only engaging but also authentic. Consistency was key, as I made sure to post regularly and interact with my audience by responding to their comments and messages.
I also made sure to tap in and collaborate with other creators and influencers, which helped to expand my reach and get my name out there. Another important strategy was to analyze the performance of my posts to understand what resonated with my audience and what didn’t.
For those just starting to build their social media presence, my advice would be:
1. Keep it real. People connect with genuine stories and personalities, so just be yourself.
2. Remain consistent. Posting often helps keep your audience engaged and your content fresh.
3. Engage with your audience. Make sure to respond to the comments of those that rock with you, ask them questions, and create a community feel.
4. Collaborate. Partner with other creators to reach new audiences outside of the ones that support you.
5. Pay attention to your content. Use insights and analytics to understand what works and what doesn’t, and be willing to adapt if needed.
Remember, building a social media presence takes time, so be patient and keep pushing forward.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
For me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist or creative is the ability to express myself and connect with others from different walks of life. There’s definitely something incredibly fulfilling about working on my podcast and turning these episodes into a piece of art that resonates with people. It’s amazing to see how my work can inspire, comfort, or bring joy to others. Plus, the creative process itself is a journey of self-discovery and growth, which is always exciting.
Thank you all again for your time. That was fun! Please make sure to check out the Grizzly Podcast, which is now available for streaming online at GrizzlyPodcast.com and on all major podcast platforms!
