Struggling to attract and keep listeners? Not sure if your podcast is making an impact?
In this episode, Heather Sudbrock reveals why many podcasters fail to attract and retain listeners—they don’t solve a clear problem in each episode. If your audience isn’t engaging, your downloads aren’t increasing, or you’re unsure how to monetize, this conversation will give you the clarity you need.
Heather explains how niching down helps you build a loyal audience, why every episode should provide a clear transformation, and the key steps to establishing trust and authority. She also shares a practical path to monetization, showing how you can turn your podcast into a profitable platform—without relying on massive downloads.
If you’re feeling stuck, this episode will help you refine your focus, attract the right listeners, and create content that not only serves but also sells.

PS. Don't forget that we are rebranding here, so Kingdom Academy Podcast will change names in the next month or so to Resist & Roar Podcast. I've been changing some elements slowly and will soon change the intro and outro as well. Just to warm you up to the name change ;)
I would love to work with you in our Resist & Roar podcast subscription membership, where I will help you via a course, coaching, and community, create and launch your Kingdom-focused podcast in a way that can be monetized, build community, and have Kingdom reach and impact!
I love teaching how to launch podcasts that will accelerate sales for your books, ministry, business, or membership, and I help build and create these four pillars as well. If you haven't yet written a book, I can help you do that as well.
