Booking Guests: Part 3 - Reach Out on LinkedIn the Right Way

In Part 3 of the six-part Booking Guests series on Pod Savvy Guide, Steph dives into her process for booking podcast guests using LinkedIn. She starts by scrolling through her connections—prioritizing people she’s already interacted with—and sends personal, friendly messages to invite them onto one of her four shows (52 Weeks, Notable Peeps, Utah Fan Club, or Idiot to Genius). You'll get a real-time look at how she chooses which show fits each guest best, when she sends the booking link, and why timing and tone matter. Steph shares how podcasting has helped her build deep connections across industries, and explains why LinkedIn is a goldmine—especially for reconnecting with old coworkers, podcast speakers, and past guests. If you're wondering how to approach guests without sounding cold or spammy, this episode will help you find the sweet spot. Stick around for Part 4, where Steph heads into Facebook groups to find speakers who are actively looking to be interviewed.
