S3 104. Ways to Promote Your Podcast in Between Seasons (Plus Grow Listener Engagement and Downloads)
How do you promote your podcast in between seasons? For many podcasters, that question can feel overwhelming — so they end up doing nothing. But going dark between seasons doesn’t mean your show has to lose momentum. In fact, it's a missed opportunity if you're not keeping your audience engaged and attracting new listeners during the downtime.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through specific strategies to market your podcast even when you're not actively releasing new content. We'll cover social media, email newsletters, and less-talked-about tactics that balance high and low effort, so you can stay visible without burning out.
S3 103. The Podcast Show 2025: Recap & Highlights To Grow Your Show
If you're serious about podcasting in 2025, you need to know what’s coming — and what’s already changing. Whether you're trying to grow your audience, stay visible without burning out on social media, or figure out if you really need to start filming your episodes, this episode is packed with exactly the kind of insights that can help you make smarter moves. Think of it like your shortcut to understanding what the industry’s top platforms, creators, and marketers are buzzing about right now.
The Podcast Show in London brought together over 6,000 creators and industry leaders from around the world, and the biggest themes were clear: video podcasting, YouTube strategy, smart AI tools, and new ways to grow without relying on downloads or going viral. In this episode, I’m breaking it all down for you — the trends, the tools, and most importantly, how to apply it all to your podcast, whether you’re just starting out or already in deep.
S3 102. The Power of Embracing Mistakes in Storytelling, Email Sequences and Quizzes with Eman Ismail
As a podcaster, crafting narratives in the public eye means making mistakes along the way is inevitable. But I've started to wonder—what if those very mistakes could be the secret sauce to creating relatable, engaging, and transformative storytelling?
Alongside Eman Ismael, host of the multi-award-winning podcast Mistakes that made me, we explored the importance of embracing the notion of learning from failure to build authenticity and connection with audiences worldwide in public, exemplified perfectly by Monica Lewinsky’s newest podcast, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.
S3 101. Embracing Experimentation: The Creator's Path to Success with Top 0.5% Podcaster Jay Clouse
The creator economy is on the rise—projected to skyrocket to an eye-popping $450 billion by 2026. As a podcaster and digital creator, I know firsthand how tempting it is to focus only on monetization: merch, memberships, sponsorships. But in this ever-evolving space, a more critical question lingers—how do we make intentional, focused decisions that not only increase revenue but build sustainable, long-term growth?
This question is at the core of this season, where I’m diving into strategies that go beyond surface-level advice. In previous episodes, I spoke to experts like Liz Mosley about monetizing through branded merch and Justin Moore on mastering sponsorships. But this time, I wanted to go deeper—to tap into the mindset behind a successful ‘creator-scientist’. That’s why I brought on someone I admire immensely for both his transparency and his results: Jay Clouse.
S3 100. 100 Episodes Later: Growth Strategies That Worked or Failed, LIVE Q&A, Impact On Business Visibility
Have you ever wondered what it really takes to make it to 100 podcast episodes—without burning out, second-guessing everything, or quitting halfway through? Not the polished highlight reel, but the messy, honest, in-the-trenches experience?
This episode is my full-circle moment—and a live celebration—with a real-time Q&A, audience questions, and reflections on how podcasting has shaped me both as a business owner and as a person. Whether you're on episode 3 or 93, what I share in this milestone episode will give you new tools, mindset shifts, and perspective to keep going (without losing yourself in the process).
S3 99. How to Land Your First Podcast Sponsorship (Even With Under 1K Downloads) with Justin Moore
Every podcaster dreams of saying those magic words: “This show is brought to you by…” But for many creators, sponsorships feel like a far-off goal - something reserved for those with big audiences, fancy video setups, or industry connections.
And the result? Talented hosts with powerful content hesitate to pitch themselves, assuming they’re not “ready” yet. In this episode, I sat down with Justin Moore, sponsorship coach, creator, educator, and author of Sponsor Magnet. Justin has helped creators - from niche YouTubers to newsletter writers - land over a million dollars in sponsorship deals. And he’s here to share a perspective that might completely change how you think about monetizing your podcast: you don’t need massive numbers to make sponsorships happen.
You just need the right mindset, the right strategy, and a more creative approach to what you’re offering.
S3 98. Why Women Are Listening to More Podcasts Than Ever: And What That Means for Us as Hosts
It’s 2025, and women in the U.S. are listening to podcasts at three times the rate they were just a decade ago.
If you’re a podcaster speaking to a female audience—or thinking about starting a show—this is your moment. And in this week’s episode, I brought in YouTube and video podcast strategist Yesenia Bocanegra so that we could discuss Women’s Audio Report: Women & Podcasts, the latest Edison Research & SiriusXM study that highlights female listener behavior.
S3 94. Is It Time to Hire a Podcast Coach? Clearing Up Myths and Finding the Right Fit
When is it time to hire a podcast coach?
This question pops up frequently on my social media, and I thought it was high time to address it, especially considering the myths and mysteries surrounding the process. Who truly qualifies for a podcast coach, and who doesn't? Do you need a certain number of downloads or all the ‘pieces perfectly in place’ before you pursue coaching? This episode will draw from the questions I often receive on my Instagram DMs and behaviors I've noticed since working closely with podcasters as a podcast producer since 2018.
S3 93. Maximize Your Podcasthon Episode: Do Good, Boost Engagement & Build Authority
As both content creators and podcast hosts, we often wonder how we can maximize our platform's potential to achieve more than just entertainment or education. How can we grow our audience and be part of innovative ventures?

Podfading wasn't on the radar for my podcast journey in 2024 (is it ever on anyone’s?), yet it surfaced unexpectedly, teaching me invaluable lessons that as a strategist I needed to share with you.
S2 88. Transforming 'Once-in-a-Lifetime' into Everyday Opportunities Through Podcasting
I’ve always had a bit of ‘beef' with the expression "an opportunity of a lifetime."
For me, it’s steeped in a scarcity mindset that we’re better off leaving behind. So in this episode, I’ll share how we can utilize podcasting to embrace an expansive mindset, where opportunities aren't just once-in-a-lifetime but are abundant and recurring.
S2 87. Blind Spots and Breakthroughs: The Role of Feedback in Podcast Growth
As a creator, receiving feedback isn’t always easy. Our podcasts are personal projects where we invest so much of ourselves so it can be frightening to hear what others think, especially when the feedback isn't delivered skillfully or feels unkind. Many podcasters, fearing criticism, avoid seeking the coaching or consulting that could help their podcast grow.
As an award-winning podcast marketer and coach who specializes in helping impact-driven podcasters become visible thought leaders and achieve their business goals, I'm here to share how you can reframe feedback as a tool for growth, revealing blind spots and unlocking potential you may not have seen.
S2 86. When and How to Effectively Measure Your Podcast Metrics: A Business Owner's Guide
As a business owner, you're familiar with measuring key metrics: leads, website traffic, profits, and losses. But when it comes to your podcast, how often should you track its progress? In this episode, I will delve into how frequently you should measure your podcast's success and what specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure you're not wasting time or missing crucial opportunities.
S2 85. The Real Reason Your Podcast Isn't Attracting Dream Guests or Clients
Have you ever found yourself scouring the internet, questioning why your podcast isn’t growing, why you're not booking those dream guests, or why your listeners aren’t converting into devoted customers?
It’s likely rooted in a content strategy that’s a little too safe. Sure, frameworks and best practices are important, but they aren’t the end-all. Sometimes, it’s necessary to dive into problems to effectively solve them—and that’s the essence of this episode’s topic.
S2 84. The Truth About Your ‘Unique Podcast’ and Traditional Growth Strategies
Have you ever thought, "That strategy is great, but it's not going to help me grow MY show"? You're not alone. Many podcasters believe their show is too unique for standard growth strategies to work. But I promise you're not as alone in this as you might think.
As a Podcast Marketing Expert, I've helped more than a hundred podcasters worldwide grow their shows, become more visible, achieve business goals, and even land their first sponsorships. It all boils down to the right mindset. Let’s dive into how we can help your unique show grow and overcome some common mental hurdles.
S2 83. How to Measure Your Podcast’s Impact on Your Influence & Network
Can podcasts really improve the quality of your network? If so, how do you achieve that? We've all heard the saying that your net worth is your network. For those seeking to enhance the quality of their network—whether it's to increase influence by association or connect with truly influential individuals—it's essential to consider what "influential" actually means.
How do you measure the quality of those connections, and determine if having a podcast is worthwhile? Let's dive into this week's insights on leveraging podcasts to grow your network.
S2 82. What is a podcast content strategist and why does your podcast need one?
As the host of The Podcast Space, I've seen firsthand what makes podcasts soar to success.
