| 0:12.0 | Pat Flynn here and welcome to episode 732 of Ask Pat. |
| 0:15.0 | Thank you so much for joining me today. |
| 0:17.0 | As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week. Now, here's today's question from Z. |
| 0:23.2 | Hi, Pat. |
| 0:24.1 | My name is Z, and I'm a couple weeks away from the launch of my new podcast called The Art of Manufacturing, which is at art of mfg.com. |
| 0:32.9 | I've been interviewing some fascinating entrepreneurs taking risks and reimagining how things are made and sold. |

| 1:03.3 | Also, what should I keep in mind as I craft the titles? |
| 1:07.5 | Obviously, I want them to be compelling and easy to keep track of. |
| 1:10.8 | And I think the three most |
| 1:12.0 | useful pieces of information are the name of the guest, who they are, their company or claim |
| 1:16.8 | to fame, if necessary, and a short teaser about what the listener might learn. So, Pat, |
| 1:22.9 | what information should come first? Should I worry about consistency across episodes? And I'm wondering if I can |
| 1:29.8 | go back and change the titles later if I change one of mind. Thanks so much for your help. |
