Step 1 of a 4-step journey begins with exploring your career and life story. In a detailed 60-90 minute pre-interview, hosts Charles and Ashley help craft your story arc. They coach you in articulating your life's narrative, setting the foundation for a structured approach to share your career and life journey in future discussions.
Pre-Production involves a meticulous review of the pre-interview recording to develop the interview's structure and questions. Ashley adds a unique touch by crafting a custom poem that encapsulates your life story. This personalised poem is a distinctive way to open each episode, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of your narrative.
Production is where the magic happens. Hosts Ashley Samuels-McKenzie and Charles Parkinson engage with you in a 2-hour interview, set in a provided location. The session is captured with high-end 4K cameras and top-quality microphones, ensuring crisp podcast audio quality on par with the world's best. A high-end lighting setup enhances the visuals, while a skilled crew operates all the equipment, ensuring a production of exceptional quality.
Post-Production & Distribution finalises your journey. Your episode is carefully edited into a 1h15-2hr feature. It's then broadcast across the official How I Became podcast accounts on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. To amplify reach, we create five social media cut-downs of the episode for promotion across our channels. These assets are also shared with you, enabling you to showcase your story on your own social media platforms
