Tomorrow, I will be joining 8 fellow flash briefing creators to share what we’ve collectively learned about the world of micros-casting. For those who might not be familiar with Flash Briefings, they’re essentially short-form podcasts that typically range anywhere from 1-7 minutes. During The Voice of the Flash Briefing online event, the 9 of us, along with the host, Bradley Metrock, will present on how to get started with a flash briefing, how to utilize one’s micro-cast, and share our key takeaways from experimenting with this new medium. Each panelist will speak for about 20 minutes and cover a different aspect of the medium. The schedule will be as follows:
- Jen Lehner – Flash Briefing: Front Row Entrepeneur – Topic: “Using Your Briefing to Grow Your Audience and Your Business”
Jen’s flash briefing covers all things social media, productivity, digital marketing and online business. She maintains a 5 star review across 101 reviews on Amazon, making her flash briefing one of the highest rated ones out there.
- Me – Flash Briefing: Future Ear Radio – Topic: “Using a Flash Briefing as a Promotional Vehicle to a Broader Content Ecosystem”
The point of my flash briefing is to get you here, my blog, which has been an effective way in growing my readership and creating more engagement with my audience. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and how virtually any content creator can use a flash briefing as a promotional vehicle.

- Armel Beaudry – Trebble.fm (microcasting platform) – “Getting Your Briefing Up and Running in a Heartbeat without spending any Money”
Armel is the founder and CEO of Trebble.fm, a flash briefing hosting platform. Trebble.fm is a cool concept as it allows listeners to curate and customize various micro-casts together to form their flash briefing. Creators can use the platform too to host and distribute their content.
- Dr. Teri Fisher – Flash Briefing: Voice in Canada – Topic: “Gamified Flash Briefings and Voice Marketing Funnels”
Teri has a daily flash briefing that he uses in conjunction with his podcasts (Alexa in Canada & Voice First Health) centered around Alexa usage in Canada and Alexa + healthcare. Along with his expertise around these two topics, he’s also a wealth of knowledge on setting up and implementing a flash briefing and has set up a free online course to set one up. His topic is sure to be very interesting as he recently discovered a uniquely successful way to gamify and grow his flash briefing audience.

Suze’s company, Big Tent Media, helps small businesses tell their stories online through the creation of websites and social media.

In each episode, the event organizers of the Voice Summit would speak to various aspects about the upcoming event as a way to build hype and awareness of what’s going to take place. A very clever use of a microcast that could easily be replicated by any event.
