What are the most important things you've learned over the years?

Danny Kelly (Podcaster) gives expert video advice on: What are the most important things you've learned over the years?; What advice would you give to someone making their first podcast?; If you could change anything about your job, what would it be?

I have learnt to keep the end user: the listener, the reader, the viewer, the pugnot in mind. I've also learned the value of shutting up every now and then. I used to do interviews where eighty percent was just my own voice, and then I realized that other people may want to hear this. I've learned the trick of generosity. If someone is telling something interesting, express that as they're going along. If someone says something funny, laugh! Do not sit there just being a passive sponge for all this stuff. Those are the three things. Also, try to keep the work up to the level that you were passionate about when you first started doing it. Try and remember that there's someone listening, watching or reading, and with the individual component of people you're working with, try to be as generous as you can with those. If I knew those three things, I'm certain to know them now; I'd have been a better broadcaster back then.
