In working on the book with chatGPT, Pilar has started to improve her editing skills, and she's now transferring that awareness to editing the conversations in Management Café.

On the 27th day of NaPodPoMo, Pilar would like to share her thoughts about why she needs to refocus her writing. She's realised she's not a persuader - she prefers to tell her story and share her thoughts, and let you decide what to do with the information. That's probably why The A to Z of Spanish Culture has been her most popular book - most of it is about her own experience, with other information of course. In trying to do both a memoir and a how to book that people want to bu...

Pilar has been thinking about how loneliness in remote teams sometimes has to do about not finding the opportunity to express certain parts of our identity that are only expressed at work, wherever that is. As podcasters, we can find a space for different parts of ourselves to find an outlet! Did you know that Pilar has a science degree? And she still thinks like a scientist, and enjoys science pieces, so today she shares this one: Smell changes how we see colour.
Today's episode starts with Pilar complaining about the fact that Audacity doesn't remember the fact that she always records with her external microphone... Such is the life of the daily podcaster! Recommended podcasts: The Enthusiasm Project Mayam Bialik's Breakdown, and Pilar mentions the episode with Justine Bateman (from Family Ties) published in October 2023. (Excuse the title, the episode doesn't have a focus, so it was hard!)
Pilar sometimes feel like she's going through a little bit of a reflective/self-improvement process when she podcasts, especially in Management Café. In episode 557 of the Longform podcast (which she recommends if you're into writing), she heard Adam Grant say that podcasting is a great place for "Thinking Out Loud". Also, don't forget to remind listeners of your own name at the end of the show! And Hello! to Daniel from My Fluent Podcast, who is now also podcasting in Italian.
A short reflection today about how varied the audio quality is in different shows, and how much it matters to have studio quality.
