Podcast Guesting 360 | From Getting Booked to Getting Results

Getting booked on more podcasts may feel like progress, but it's not the end goal, and it's certainly NOT the thing that brings results. 

The real question is: What do you want those interviews to lead to?

In this episode, Lyndsay Phillips explains how choosing one primary goal can shape every part of your podcast guesting strategy, including the shows you pursue, the topics you pitch, th...

Guesting on podcasts is more than showing up, answering questions, and giving good tips. You want to captivate the audience and connect with them by delivering your message in a way that truly connects with the audience, without being someone you are not. 

My guest today, April Adams Pertuis, breaks down the four core speaker archetypes to help you find your own authentic style. Understanding whether ...

Podcasting isn't the only audio medium. Audiobooks are another, which, if you are an author or looking to be one, is a key asset to get more book sales and readers.

Executive producer Jeremy Shrifels joins the show to completely reframe how we approac...

Facts and tips alone don't move listeners to action, but stra...

Networking events make most people want to run for the hills, and honestly, who can blame them? Between the awkward elevator pitches, the desperate card swapping, and that sinking feeling that you're doing it all wrong, traditional networking has become something we endure rather than enjoy.
