56. “People ask me where the
headquarters of GoDaddy is and I
say there’s no physical
headquarters. Headquarters is The
Planet. The thing that binds us in
our values is our communications.
It is the headquarters of good
ideas.”

81. Recording a podcast
• Topic/subject
• Person with a story to tell
• Ideally someone well spoken and willing to be interviewed
• Specific topic or message
• Top-down messages from leadership, such as key initiatives or policies
• Mid-level experts who don’t normally get a lot of air time, including SMEs
• Human interest, such as cancer patient or flesh-eating bacteria survivor
• Straight up interview or story approach
• Story approach requires more production time and editing, works well for human interest stories
• Script or no script
• Some interviewees more comfortable with advance questions so they can prepare responses
• Some prefer a more casual, conversational approach
• On digital platform, consider supporting with written story
• For example, an event with photos and/or an article
• 7 to 25 minutes in length

82. Establishing a podcast network
• Different channels for different topics, sources and audiences
• ConocoPhillips experience
• Once we did a few podcasts, it seemed as if everyone wanted their own
• Remote units
• Expanded CPN
• We control the logos and branding
• We do some of the editing to ensure quality
