Introducing Behind the Betes Podcast

Let’s just jump right into it.

I present to you, Behind the Betes Podcast.

You may have not known this, but I started a podcast back in January 2018 called, The Type One Entrepreneur. I only recorded 14 episodes of this and they were sporadic. The concept was simple.

Do a 5 minute podcast, 5 days a week about my life as type one entrepreneur. I loved the concept, but I just didn’t feel like it was bringing much value, so it kinda faded away.

I thought about how I could bring value to the diabetes community without just being “another podcast”?

I started the Getting to Know Diabetes: The Interview Series on my blog a couple of months ago and people seemed to love the interviews, so the lightbulb went off. A-HA!

I’ve always wanted to learn more about the people behind the disease. I’ve met so many people on Twitter who have Type 1 and I know what pump they use, but I don’t know their favorite sports teams, I don’t know their profession, or what state they grew up in or what their favorite movie is.

So, that’s what Behind the Betes is.

Episodes will be a mixture of me just talking about something diabetes related, but trying to get behind just the disease aspect, but majority of the episodes will be interviews with people with diabetes or those who are effected by diabetes.

The same 10 questions will be asked to every single guest. Each episode will have unique questions as well and go the direction it flows into, but the core questions will be the same.

I will be testing the time and day of when episodes are launched (I’m an analytics guy, you know I have to test), but as of now, the first episode is scheduled to launch on Wednesday, January 9. This will just be an episode of me introducing the new podcast. The first interview will be Wednesday January 16.
