If you think getting sponsors is the golden ticket to podcast monetization, it’s time for a reset.

This episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about making money with your podcast. Because the truth is:

🎯 Monetization isn’t step one. 🎯 You don’t need 10k downloads or to sell your soul to ads. 🎯 Just because you built it, doesn't mean they'll come.

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • Why waiting on sponsorships might actually be slowing your growth

  • The real reason ads make your podcast sound...off

  • The easiest, most aligned way to monetize if you're a service provider (and why no one’s telling you this)

  • What to create and sell instead of waiting around for brands to email you

  • And the exact mindset shift that turned my podcast into a client-generating funnel

We’re halfway through the Podcast Growth Series, and this is the turning point. If you’re here to grow a show that supports your business (instead of draining your time and energy), this one’s a must-listen.
