Have you ever thought about why you choose to listen to something?

 

Why do your ears perk up for certain sounds?  What peaks your interest?  What entices you to want to hear more?

 

Why are some sounds more soothing to listen to over others?

 

From birds chirping in the morning to crickets creaking through the night.

 

From loud honking horns to peaceful crashing ocean waves.... 

 

Our ears, like all of the five senses, are pretty particular and specific as to what pleases them and what doesn’t.

 

The sounds we hear stimulate us… and when we listen really carefully the connections they make inspire us.

 

For centuries this has been true of music….and the genres we listen to.

Songs, instruments and lyrics connect uniquely with each and every one of us.

 

And most recently, over the last few years, the same can also be said for podcasting and audio programming.

 

Where the exponential growth is connecting with more and more people than ever before.

 

My name is Lou Diamond and I have had the incredible fortune to be involved in podcasting and audio content for several years now.  To date, I’ve hosted more than 4 podcast programs across a myriad of topics - business, leadership, marketing, sports & entertainment.  One of my shows, Thrive LOUD with Lou Diamond, has had over 500 episodes and counting and has connected to millions of listeners worldwide.  

 

As a speaker and a business growth consultant, I’ve worked with many organizations in helping them better connect to their people, their customers and their prospects.  And Podcasting has been an important growth engine for my own business -- engaging me with many new clients, business alliances and partnerships.  

Brought to you by AIMeCAST - the Next Generation of Internal and External Communications . We created this podcast  “WHY THEY LISTEN” to feature how companies, leaders and brands are using multimedia podcasting to better create their content, engage their audience and convey their message.

 

As your host, I will provide you a front row seat into discussions with thought leaders and innovative podcasters-- from large organizations to small business owners--that are using the medium to grow their own businesses, sell products and services, and profit from how they’re using their voice.

 

You’ll hear from a range of guests that have found unique ways to use multimedia podcasting as the basis for training, development, social interaction and culture and community building.

 

You’ll have a chance to learn from expert marketers, master communicators, creative educators and innovative entrepreneurs that create engaging content to excite audiences and draw in more and more listeners each day.

 

Our goal: is for you, the listener, to connect to those that have a great understanding of their specific content creation and help you learn the value of what they bring to their audience...and  WHY THEY LISTEN…
