Inspired to join the world of podcasting by their commitment to helping couples all around the world to arrive at their big day with more ease, creativity, and light<\/span>heartedness, Danielle said, \u201cI\u2019m a big fan of sharing as much as I possibly can. I think anytime you combine giving people information along with a community to process and use that information, it does a lot of good. Ideally, it’s doing a lot of good for the world.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Reflecting on their decision to launch the show, Daniel added, <\/span>\u201cI actually think we talked about it when we were throwing darts that one night Michael (Danielle\u2019s fiance\u2019) and I were running down the hallway. We both said, ‘Hey, we have so much to share. How can we do this?\u2019 And that’s when I think Danielle was like, \u2018Let’s do this podcast idea!\u2019 And then, in true Danielle fashion, immediately afterward there were 100 spreadsheets and documented lists of how much things were going to cost and the timeline for the next three years.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The pair (who have a ton of fun co-hosting the show together) make a powerful team, each offering strengths in the areas the other has weaknesses: Danielle provides the structure and Daniel the comic relief. They continually shore each other up, as well \u2026 as exemplified in their most recent season, when Daniel went on paternity leave for the birth of his twins.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

After completing careful research around podcasting formats offered by others in the industry and considering their own schedules in the wedding business, the pair decided on the conversational format, interviewing guests only occasionally. However, they\u2019re not just cranking out content non-stop. It\u2019s important to them to be mindful and intentional about both the quality of the show and how it feeds into and fuels their respective businesses. \u00a0 <\/span>

\n<\/span>\u201cObviously, there’s a lot that goes into making a podcast,\u201d<\/span><\/i> Danielle shares. <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s something we do to support our careers. I never wanted it to become such a burden for either of us that we regret it or have really negative feelings toward it, because I think that comes through. I wanted to just make it a very positive thing to put out into the world and help people as much as we possibly can.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s [been] plenty of times when it hasn’t been the smoothest ride figuring out all this stuff,\u201d Daniel added. \u201cThe learning curve is super steep. But I think the thing that it always kept coming back to is that we just were in such a good place to share all this information. We do it for the people who listen. Every once in a while, [someone] will reach out and say, \u2018Hey, this is so amazing. You guys are doing so such an amazing job. Thank you so much.\u2019 That’s what ends up really keeping it going. Even when we’re questioning if it\u2019s really worth it, asking ourselves if we\u2019re sure it\u2019s what we want to do. And then there’s that little wink or warm and fuzzy from someone. That\u2019s what we call it when we get feedback from our people out there. Then, we know we’re on the right track, even though the back end sometimes is a little crazy as we’re figuring things out still.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In order to monetize the show, Danielle and Daniel have tried a number of different strategies, including sponsorships and advertising. Now, the show is primarily funded through the generous donations of their \u201cRingers\u201d\u2014the term the pair has affectionately given to their listeners who provide support for the ongoing broadcasting through a Patreon account.<\/span><\/p>\n
