Podcasts require more preparation than you might expect.

When your mind is racing with ideas, it’s important to ensure you don’t digress, don’t leave anything out, and still leave room for some impromptu creativity!

Matt and Kirk discuss:

  • The importance of judgment-free brainstorming
  • How the BOVA method turns messy ideas into clear actions
  • Four areas where mind maps are a game-changer
  • Why MindMeister is our go-to mind mapping tool
