Podcasting has become one of the most effective ways for businesses to create content that builds trust, reaches new audiences, and fuels every other marketing channel. A single well-planned show can generate clips for social media, feed your email strategy, and boost your visibility on search, without the expense of an outside agency. For business owners, a podcast can replace much of the traditional marketing grind while creating a deeper connection with potential clients.
In this episode, Ryan R. Sullivan explains how to launch a podcast that drives real business results in just 90 days. He breaks down how to define the purpose of your show, pick the right format, and map content to your buyer’s journey. Ryan shares tips on generating episode ideas with AI, planning a full season, and handling production logistics. He also covers the importance of consistency, how to create engaging intros and outros, and the realistic timeline for seeing ROI from your podcast.
