A highlight on the treasure side of the 3T’s. In Ep #37 I am covering how McIntosh implements v4v on his show ‘Generational Wealth With Cryptocurrency’. The unique aspect he brings is his strong stance on not accepting advertising nor sponsorships and why this is a draw for you to contribute value to his show.

AbleKraft
Not just content with revolutionising podcasting, how about music as well? In Ep #36 I am covering how Sir Spencer and Able Kirby implement v4v on their show ‘AbleKraft’. The unique aspect they bring is a way of using this as a feeder show to link to their main project, an album they released as a value for value podcast called ‘Stay Awhile’ by Able and The Wolf.

AMERICA+
Youthful energy is hitting v4v, but can it sustain itself? In Ep #32 I am covering how Cole McCormick runs v4v on his show ‘AMERICA+’. The unique aspect that Cole brings is his desire to set himself apart by becoming known as the guy who gave away the most Sats to his audience, as well as a willingness to go out of his way to onboard family and friends into the value for value world.

Podcasting 4 Value
One idiot’s attempt at starting a Value 4 Value podcast. In Ep #31 I am covering how Joshua Dennis runs v4v on his show ’Podcasting 4 Value. The unique aspect that Josh brings is his willingness to dive deep into the tech weeds and be not afraid of running with multiple IPFS scissors in each hand. He also has a cool way of promoting his show called ‘Satvertising’, which is incidentally how I found out about it in the first place.

Behind The Sch3m3s
Mixing the wild and weird with an amazing all round effort! In Ep #29 I am covering how Boo-Bury and Lavish run v4v on their show ‘Behind The Sch3m3s’. The unique aspect that they bring is the outstanding adoption of almost all the new P2.0 tags. This brings a variety to the show that I haven’t really seen elsewhere. They also make some decisions (which may or may not be strategic) that I think could have an incentivising effect on how people listen and boost.

Want to know which podcasts are doing V4V? In Ep #16 I will be going over some podcasts that I believe are doing a good job of showcasing value for value. I of course plug my own and Adam Curry’s but also highlight some others which include (and is not exhaustive off all there are): AbleKraft, Podland News and other No Agenda podcast spinoffs.

V4V Is Going Worldwide
Bienvenidos damas y caballeros, welcome ladies & gentlemen. In Ep #14 we are looking at whether the value for value model is possible for everybody or if you have to be a certain person in a certain place to make it work. I argue that it has already proved to be a worldwide message that has not only transcended country boundaries, but has also broken past the language barrier. Very cool stuff.

Resting On Your Laurels | Why Incentives Matter
Are you really putting the required effort into your latest piece of content? Can you look back and it and be proud? Do you feel you deserve something from it even if it isn't your best work? In Ep #13 we're looking at resting on your laurels and why a sense of entitlement can creep in if you're expecting 'passive income' from your creations. I'm not totally against the mesh between V4V and passive income but expecting continual value in return from a podcast/blog/music you're barely maintaining or have completely stopped seems ludicrous (Luda!) to me. Caveats apply for people putting in big effort to a documentary or album or etc but that's the gist of my argument. Any thoughts? Well then send me a boostagram!

What V4V ISN'T
Let’s do some linguistic semantics! In Ep #12 I’m differentiating some things that might superficially look like Value For Value (and may contain some elements of it) but are actually rather different. Subscriptions, paywalls/exclusive content, crowdfunding/donations/tips and everything advertising related all fall under this banner. V4V has some core principles such as continuous feedback, upfront giving, direct interaction and lack of automaticity that when combined form a solid and coherent model. I had to prerecord this week's episode so unfortunately no boostagrams to read out and people to thank.

In Ep#11 I’m exploring my personal philosophy with regards to my podcasts, which is that they should be as accessible as possible for everyone who wants to join in. I’ve constantly been surprised by who I attract in, as was Erika from The Balance Theory who also noticed the same phenomena. I connect this to V4V by explaining how an engaged listener will invariably give back, no matter their race, creed or gender. No boosts this week. So I have to use a sad kitty to guilt trip you :( Timeline: (0:00) - Intro (1:58) - My personal philosophy (7:48) - Erika clip (9:27) - Make it accessible and work hard (13:50) - Boostagram Lounge (and a make good) Value 4 Value Support: Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast Connect With Kyrin/Mere Mortals: Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/ Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspods Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcasts

Why Value Doesn't Mean 'Money'
I quite dislike the word ‘monetisation’. In Ep #10 we’re having a dive into why value should not be synonymous with money, and that they are actually completely different concepts. Is linking every activity and everything to money a good idea? What actually matters to you? How can we make money exit the conversation? Timeline: (0:00) - Intro (0:55) - Definition of monetisation (4:23) - Obsessed over the wrong thing (8:38) - Boostagram Lounge (10:57) - What do you actually value?

True Value Requires Subjective Price Discovery
What is the true value of something? In Ep #9 we are exploring the idea of price discovery and how this can be applied to your product, idea, show, podcast, art, etc etc. When you allow someone to choose for themselves the value, you might be surprised at how high they will set that limit (as long as you are asking them to choose and think about it). When limits and artificial restriction in the form of paywalls or mandatory pricing is introduced, this can really distort they way someone will act/feel/think towards you and your creation.

Think Of Yourself As A Public Institution
Why can having permanent funds can alienate you from your support? In Ep #8 I was inspired by a passage I read in M.K Gandhi\'s autobiography on why having a reliable, permanently fixed and disconnected source of funds can actually be bad for you. It can make you lose touch with the public support that is essential to fulfilling your real, deeper, higher purpose. The V4V model is all about closing the loop and connecting with those people gaining value from your show/product/art, hence why boostagrams and streaming satoshis are such a gamechanger! Mad shoutout to Kyle Hebert for the boostagram and Adam Curry for the intro jingle. Very much appreciated.

The Frustrations Of Donations
Have you ever bought something you didn't need (or even want) just to show some love? In Ep #7 I explore why donating right now can be a pain in the ass and how this might change in the future. I recount some personal experiences trying to give value to people who deserve it but had an annoying time doing this. However, with the value for value model and the technology behind cryptocurrencies this is making it easier to donate and to change the mentality behind donations. Boostagram shoutout to Oscar Merry from Fountain.FM (a Podcasting 2.0 app) that gave some value to the V4V podcast, much appreciated!

Vibing Via Small Stepping Stones
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!

The Fine Dining Experience Of V4V
Me, N U baby. On Ep #5 we'll be examining why the V4V model can be thought of as a fine dining experience. Dave Jones gives us his thoughts on this analogy and I deconstruct how value is tied to feeling, why one party must make the first move by providing value from the get go and how expectation of receiving value can change across cultures. A big thanks to Oscar Merry and an anonymous booster for supporting the show. Absolute legends!

Free ISN'T Free
There is always a cost, so how are you paying it? In Ep #4 I examine the topic of free, first taking a dive into the definition of the word and how we can get confused about objects/services that appear to be financially ‘free’. There seems to be a problem with scale where a company as it grows larger will inevitably focus upon money as its primary goal (not a great motive) and the cost that a customer pays can get hidden (lack of transparency). To combat any negative effects from this I share how I’m personally trying to change my own mentality and some actions I’m taking to realise that ‘free isn’t free’.

Giving Value: A Case Study
In Ep #3 we're going to examine a practical example of giving value? Before I ever heard of the Value 4 Value model I was reviewing random podcasts and leaving them a nice message. This was influenced by a kind message I received during my first 3 months of podcasting and was an opportunity for me to pay that forward. I eventually turned this into a strategic way to create a community and I ended up receiving rewards for this in totally unexpected manners. So this is an encouragement (and example) from my own story on how to give value to a random person and how this will help make you a better person!

Connections That Leave You Saying .... Damn
In Ep #2 we take a look from this side of the mic. What does it feel like talking into the void as a new podcaster? The answer is a mix of relief and sadness. Relief because your crappy show is not being judged by the whole world, and sadness in that you’re not sure if what you are doing is worth anything at all. I’ve taken a snippet from a recent convo I had with Pete Smissen from the Aussie English podcast and he helps explain why a simple email can actually make a huge difference.

What Is Value For Value?
Welcome to the 1st episode of the Value For Value podcast (or as I will occasionally shorten to: v4v). This is the podcast for digital content creators (podcasters/artists/musicians/etc.,) who want to find a way to earn a living without having to rely on the somewhat corrupting influence of advertising or setting up paywalls to block off a portion of your supporters. It is also an experiment for myself to try out the new Podcasting 2.0 tags and see if I can myself walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
