Standing out has never mattered more. With AI Search rewriting the rules, the voices that rise to the top are the ones backed by real authority and real conversations. That is why podcasting has become such an essential tool for entrepreneurs and creators.

In this episode, Ewell Smith sits down with Parker Olson, founder of PodPitch.com, whose wild journey from living in a tent to running product giveaways on airplanes has turned him into a standout guest across dozens of podcasts. Parker reveals how podcasting created unexpected opportunities, built lasting authority, and helped him connect with the right people at the right time.

You will learn how to create a clear listener promise, how to use your story to cut through the noise, and why consistent podcast guesting builds credibility faster than nearly any other strategy today.

You will learn:
• How podcasting helps you stand out in a crowded market
• Why long form conversations perform in AI Search
• How to use your unique story to create attention
• How podcast guesting builds trust and inbound opportunity
• Simple steps to strengthen your voice and grow your business
