You’ve probably heard that your podcast should be “top of funnel”... but what if that’s completely wrong?

In this episode of The Million Dollar Breakthrough, I'm flipping the traditional marketing funnel on its head. I’ll walk you through why your podcast should actually sit in the middle of your funnel, how that simple mindset shift can transform your business, and what you should be focusing on instead of chasing downloads!
