If you are a podcaster doing interviews at one point you’ve found yourself looking for guests.

Or may be — you want to be a guest in a podcast, because you have a great story to share or because you want to give a shout out to what you are doing.

On social media we see very often posts from people who want to become guests or people that are looking for guests, but the information is scattered and it’s never cataloged properly.
The usual answer is “ME” and it contains zero quality information on what type of expertise we talk about and what podcast/guest will be a good fit.

In addition to that it’s very hard to find the posts later on.

You have to look up every person separately and contain this information one by one.

My partner and I also have a podcast and we also need information like this.

Often people reach out to us with a simple post “If you are looking for guests, I’d love to be on your show”, then we need to start a very long conversation and some podcasters stop right here.

There are so many lost opportunities!

We are a bit of control freaks, so we started to gather the potential guests, and we thought other people might benefit from a system like this, too.
So we decided to make a catalog with properly stored information (who does what and what type of guests are they looking for… And for the guests — what’s their expertise and what are the podcasts they’ll be a good fit for).

The only way for a system like this to work is when many, many, many people share the idea. We truly believe this is going to help our podcast community to grow stronger and flourish.

So if you want to be a part of it — Please fill out the form and share the link to it on your pages / profiles/ podcast

The more people fill the form — the better the result will be for all of us.

Once we have 100 participants — every month we’ll e-mail to you the new fits for your show so you can reach out to the right person you’re looking for.

We do it simply because we love podcasting.
No fees, no complications. Just people — helping each other.

Fill the form here and then share it! :)

This is really wired to me, because I don’t really like to talk about myself, but I thought it’s about time.

If you don’t have the nerves for a long read, anyway — I’ll save you the time.
In short: My name is Virginia I’m a 27 years old I’m a photographer shooting for about 10 years now.
I’m hosting a photography podcast called The Fashion Photography Podcast, I have my YouTube Chanel and I’ve been published in most of the major magazines across the world.
Love pizza, ice-cream, my family, my soul-mate, my parrot and to share my knowledge.

That’s me in just two sentences. I think we all know they are not enough, so let me tell you my real story now.

I was born in Bulgaria — if you know where that is, I bet you are good at Geography.
I have older sister, younger brother and gorgeous parents.
She almost died when she was about 16yo, by drowning and now she’s a proud mom of 2 and he (a.k.a my brother) is a little genius. Ok, not so little anymore.

My parents are tremendous people. “Simply the best” was originally written for them. Been thru…. some pretty amazing times — when we had no reason to worry about anything and some pretty awful periods considering to shoot themselves and also me and my sister and brother, so that we won’t suffer, because we had no money for food.
Obviously they are very good at managing escaping from pretty bad situations, because I’m still here.
My family is the league of my heroes.
The best and the most honest people I know.

In my family everyone does whatever he/she is into.
Just so that you can understand me — my parents have a transportation/travel company, my sister is a biologist, my brother is all about smart homes and I…. Oh my….

I was really into drawing, or at least that’s what I thought…

Before even saying my first words (and God, it took me a while… I started talking at 4…) I was drawing… So I thought this is what I was meant to be — a painter.

And I did my best! I had private lessons, started a class for young gifted “painters” and so and so…
Till I saw a lady on the street painting absolutely stunning portraits for just a dollar…
I guess that was the day I had enough…

One day, we were celebrating a birthday and the husband of my aunt asked if I can take a photo of me and my mom in the hallway, because there was no one else around…
I did, and in that moment my teenage brain realized the miracle that has just happened — a moment forever frozen in time.

And this was exactly the first moment I remember my hear almost exploded in silent excitement. Silent… because I’m pretty good at keeping all of my crazy thoughts to myself.

The thing was — photography was my sister’s hobby and I’m a middle child — I’d never take someone else’s toy, so I kept silent.

Then suddenly came that “beautiful” moment when I had to apply for high school.

I had no idea what I wanted to do, all I knew was — I don’t want to draw any more.
These were the two months I had as a teenager, because I was just super lost and I didn’t really cared what’s going to happen next.
Fortunately my mom had found one school with many different options.
Of course it can not be that easy, so for all the different options I had different exams.

The options were: Fashion design, biology, tourism and audiovision and many others, but those were the only suitable for me….

So the following thoughts were crossing my mind:

>(As I already mentioned) I don’t want to draw anymore.
>My sister is into biology (and you know my theory about taking other people’s toys).
>Tourism. I could help my parents company with that… But I’m super bad at geography. I guess I can figure that out some how…….I suppose… If only I had any interest in this…
>What the hell is audiovision?!

I’m a winner in this life, not a quitter, so I took all the exams….
-But I must admit… That day I draw the most awful painting in my entire life. And I was super proud.
-Showed all I knew about biology
-Studied my *ss off for the Geography test
-And I did my best on the audiovision exam, thou I wasn’t even sure why I’m doing this.

Got a C on my drawing, B on my biology test, D on all my knowledge on Geography and A on the freaking audiovison.
This A got me the first place at the class. Best score student.

And this led to a conversation with the school head.
The conversation was all about how much I want to study Tourism. (Obviously my face was telling the opposite) And how I don’t even know what’s that class that I’ve been accepted to…

At age 13 I got my first big — life changing offer.

The head of the school said:

“I’ll tell you what the audiovision is and you will go home.
You’ll come back tomorrow and if you tell me Tourism is what you really want — I’m signing you up right away”

We got home and Oh my! I’m getting late! Sorry guys I really have to go now!

And by the way that’s my story so it’s quite personal, so if you want me to continue with it tomorrow — tell me so I can make sure, I’m not just exposing myself for no reason =)

Have an exciting Friday!
