Every podcaster wants the same thing: a podcast that grows quickly, without eating more of your time, draining your energy, or demanding a marketing budget you don’t have. The truth? There's no single “fastest way” to grow your show. If there were, every podcast would already be successful, and you wouldn’t still be asking this question. But there …

Ever feel stuck, waiting for that lightning-bolt moment of clarity… only to watch days (or months) slip by? Trust me—I've been there.

It's the dance between…

What happens when the podcast you’ve worked so hard to build isn’t holding people’s attention? After her “perfect” launch — charting, downloads, glowing feedback — Dr. Annie Campanile quickly realized her show wasn’t nearly as shareable as she thought.

Ever snap at someone and later wonder, "Why did I overreact?" Last week, my daughter refused breakfast and I felt my pulse spike. I caught myself mid-yell and remembered something my friend (and mentor) Fiona Lukies taught me: "You're not in a relationship with that person—you're in a relationship with your thoughts about them." That idea changed e…

This year has been brutal for almost everyone I know. Business hiccups, family dramas, even literal "truck hits you in the face" moments.

But there's one minds…

“Just stay consistent and make great content” is the podcast industry’s favorite advice, and it’s exactly why most shows never grow. It doesn’t matter how good your content is if no one can find it. And if your podcast isn’t showing up in search, you’re missing out on 54% of the listeners who are finding new shows that way every single day. In this…

Taylor Swift’s engagement dominated headlines, but the real story is what it revealed about fan psychology. To outsiders, it might look like an obsession. In reality?

Taylor Swift’s engagement isn’t just celebrity gossip, it’s the biggest podcast marketing lesson of the year.

That’s not hype,…

You’ve niched down (at least, you think you have). You’ve defined your ideal listener, picked a category, maybe even reworked your show description and cover art (twice).

One of the biggest reasons why people aren't consuming your content is because they don't find it relevant. And the things that people find relevant are the things that create these automatic triggers inside of their subconscious. Things like emotions, curiosity, or identities, or big realizations, that's the stuff that gets the clicks and most peo…

Hot topics get clicks. But what about the episodes you want to record, even if they’re not “trendy” or SEO-friendly? It's a smart question, and it begs an even bigger one: how do you make every episode sound like a must-listen so listeners can’t help but hit play, no matter what you’re talking about? In this episode, I’m answering both and showing …

You've heard me say it for years, more information doesn't drive sales. So what does? Well, it's all about the hooks—the language and communication that drive people into action.

I delve into a concept I received in a meditation about the differe…

It’s great to hear “I love your podcast!” from friends and fans — but let’s face it, we BOTH know that this kind of feedback won’t tell you why new listeners stop listening after one episode (or worse, why they aren’t hitting play to begin with). That’s why Jay Nachlis, VP at Coleman Insights (the research powerhouse behind some of today’s most lis…

Most podcasters rely on feedback from listeners and fans to figure out whether their podcast is good—and it’s costing them hundreds (even thousands) of potential new listeners who decide within seconds if your show is worth their time. In this episode, Jay Nachlis, VP at Coleman Insights, joins me to reveal why this kind of surface-level feedback g…

The past 8 months of my life have brought some of the hardest challenges I've had to face. Going through a divorce. Carrying the weight of a major launch just to keep things going… the business, the bills, all of it. And the loss of clarity about what I even want anymore. When I've shared about this with peers like James Wedmore and in my mastermin…

You’ve done everything the podcasting experts say to do: publish weekly, stay consistent, share on social. Maybe you’ve even changed your cover art, rewritten your description, or tested a new format. But the listens STILL aren’t coming (and you’re low-key resenting how much time you’ve spent talking to an empty room.) Most podcasters think it’s a …

I'm challenging you to reconsider the approach to solving problems in your audience's life or business through your courses.

If you’re tired of posting content to social media trying to grow your podcast only to get four likes and no new downloads—the problem isn’t the algorithm.

You've heard me talk about educational content quite a bit and how it shouldn't be 100% of the content you put out there. But it does play an important role in your messaging when you do need to teach, like in webinars or a percentage of your social media content. For my students, many get frustrated because the audience doesn't understand the valu…

If you’ve ever thought, “My content’s so good—so why aren’t more people listening?” the problem might not be your content at all. It might be what your podcast is saying about you before people ever hit play (and what you’re saying once they do). Because even if your episodes are packed with value, if your show doesn’t clearly signal why people sho…

You’ve been told to make your podcast content “valuable,” but no one ever tells you what that actually means.

But that’s not how it works. Because listeners won’t hire you if t…

Spotify just rolled out a new feature called “Plays” that shows your episode play counts publicly inside their app. But this move isn’t about helping creators. It’s about algorithmically manipulating what used to be a level playing field—and it benefits Spotify, not you. Worse? It distracts you from the metrics that actually show if your podcast is…
