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, the talking points you prepare, the call to action you share, and what you do after the interview.

You'll also hear how different goals, such as generating leads, building authority, creating content, selling books, or developing collaborations, require different decisions.

Before you research another show or create another one-sheet, use this episode to decide what result should be guiding your strategy.
