Looking to be a guest on more podcasts? 

Want to improve your guesting/hosting skills and be a better collaborator? 

This month, we're breaking down the numbers to help you become even BETTER and know how to spend your time, money, and energy for maximum possibility. 

Business is a balance of profit and soul and podcasting is a blend of art (heart) and science. Knowing the truth of the numbers can help you grow in confidence and become even better at your craft. 

In this episode, I walk through the time, energy, and financial investment from a guest and host standpoint as we focus on: 

  • How much time it takes to become an exceptional host and guest 
  • How much time it takes for solo episodes, guest episodes, pitching, guesting, prep, post-production, and more 
  • The energy in and out of podcasting and guesting
  • The cold hard cash: how much money can you make podcasting?
  • And more!
