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

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.

55. 1 Year of Podcasting: Has it Been Worth it? Wins, Lessons, and Data Beyond Downloads

Over the past 12 months, I've clocked in 54 episodes of The Podcast Space’s podcast. The journey as a business owner and a podcast strategist has been an insightful, transparent, and imperfect one. I've gleaned what has worked and what hasn't, and in this episode, I’ll share my insights, wins, and pitfalls I encountered - because to work as a strategist for other businesses is one thing, and to do it all myself is a completely different one.
