Co-hosting a podcast is a very different experience from having a solo show. So how do you know which option is right for you? In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we speak with Heather Vickery about her unique podcasting journey. She shares her insights on the massive rewards of a co-hosted show versus a solo format, how to secure strategic guests through intentional pitching, and why having a healthy relationship with intentional risk and failure is the secret sauce to creative success. This week, episode 235 of Podcasting Unlocked is about choosing the podcast hosting format that works for you!
Heather Vickery, Transformation Coach, leverages over 20 years of leadership experience to guide conscious leaders in leading from embodied joy. Through her "Trifecta of Self"—knowing, liking, and trusting oneself—Heather helps clients cultivate genuine self-trust that drives authentic, impactful action in every part of life. When joy is your set point, not just a default, everything changes—for you and those around you. She’s the co-host and executive producer of award nominated Was it Chance? The podcast about taking intentional risk for creative success. And best-selling author of F*CK FEARLESS: Making The Brave Leap.
In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Heather Vickery is sharing the importance of having a clear direction for your co-hosted podcast and actionable steps you can take right now to pitch aligned guests in a strategic way.
Heather and I also chat about the following:
- The unique partnership that is co-hosting a podcast.
- Tailoring your podcast pitches to be unique and align with your guest’s goals as well as your own.
- Choosing to subtly integrate your business into your podcast instead of it taking center stage.
- Embracing intentional risk for creative success and reframing failure.
The biggest barrier to podcast growth is often the fear of trying something new. This week, challenge yourself to take one intentional risk with your show, whether it’s a new pitch strategy or a content format change.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
