• The Last Episode (For Awhile)
    Feb 13 2023

    Welcome Your Podcast Coach community to my final recording. For awhile.

    In this episode, three important things...

    • What to do when you need to take an extended break from your podcast. (or sunset it completely)
    • Episodes that you can easily reference to help you make the most of your podcast.
    • The creative journey I am currently embarking on (that's taking my bandwidth away from this podcast)

    If you're just discovering this podcast, I hope you find this, and the other 143 episodes beneficial to the growth of your online business and your podcast.

    And, if you haven't done so yet, click here to grab my FREE PODCAST ROADMAP to help you make sure your podcast is going in the right direction!

  • Humility & How John Lee Dumas Changed My Business
    Jan 1 2023

    First of all, since I'm releasing this on 01/01/2023, I'll start with Happy New Year!

    I'm kicking off 2023 with a story of humility.

    When I launched my first podcast in 2015 (and my podcast coaching business), I thought all of this would be easy. As a misguided and naive entrepreneur, I thought all I had to do was create a great logo and the world would come to me for every podcast question they had!

    Needless to say, a lesson in humility was coming!

    All of this changed when, after a couple of glasses of wine, I emailed John Lee Dumas.

    His reply, and the following conversation with JLD, changed how I look at podcasts forever.

    I hope you enjoy this story and here's to an awesome 2023!!!

    PS - I'm not really a John Lee Dumas fan, but give credit where credit is due, right?

  • Patience, Grace and Letting Success Come To You
    Dec 30 2022

    Ahhhh... it's New Year's Eve 2022. Tomorrow will be a brand new year!

    And on this day of reflection, I share with you a story of how I made a big mistake a few years ago, and used this past 365 days doing my best not to repeat that mistake.

    In turn, learning more about grace and patience and not "forcing" work, but letting it come to me.

    Thanks for listening and enjoying Your Podcast Coach and I hope you have a wonderful New Years!

  • (S7/E10) - When You Can't Travel...
    Oct 10 2022

    An interesting thing happened in April of 2020.

    Yes, a pandemic took over the world, but something else...

    Many podcasts launched during this time! 

    And while many people started podcasts because they found themselves with time, others started because they COULDN'T do what they WANTED to do.

    In the case of Becki Svare, it was travel.

    So, in lieu of getting on a plane and seeing the world, she launched a "literary escape" podcast.

    In today's episode, Becki shares more detail on how this started for her and how she can easily take what she's created and start making money with her listeners and her email list.

    Link with Becki!

  • (BONUS) I'm Not Ok With This...
    Oct 9 2022

    I preach that consistency is one of the most important things when running any sort of content channel.

    If you're going to do a podcast, YouTube, blog or just active on social, the most important thing to be is... consistent.

    Well, last Monday went by and I did not release an episode. My excuse:  A cat 4 hurricane and a bad head cold.

    Hurricanes or not, this still bothered me and I wanted to share a quick story in this 5 minute solo episode.

    Thanks for listening and sharing!

  • (S7/E9) - Perfection Getting In The Way
    Sep 26 2022

    This week, I am happy to introduce you to Emily Wong. 

    Emily and I have spent the summer working on her podcast, Career Cohort - A Community for Curious Careerists. 

    Emily, the founder of Words of Distinction, helps women over 40 land their next great job! She believes whole-heartedly that the pursuit of perfection cripples many great ideas from ever starting. (and many from landing their dream job!)

    In this episode, Emily shares her inspiration for starting a podcast, one of her biggest initial challenges and some of her biggest learnings since starting in 2020.

  • (S7/E8) - What Podcast Hosts Have In Common
    Sep 19 2022

    Here's a word that I've used a lot this season as I am talking with entrepreneurs about their podcasts...

    Discovery

    It's great to have these coaching calls about podcasts with such an incredible variety of podcast hosts. 

    And in this exercise, I am offering coaching and ideas, but I am also LEARNING many great things!

    This process of discovery (which I highly recommend for your podcast and business!) is showing many things I didn't know.

    But, it also confirms the things I've always known.

    And the biggest thing:  The best hosts have a PASSION and a "calling" to do their podcast.

    As I share in this episode, the passion you have helps make your podcast really stand out.

    Thanks for listening and sharing!
