Creative PR isn't just about news; it's about positioning your thought leadership in a way that search engines and listeners can't ignore.Implement the Four-Post Social Plan: Abandon the post every day grind. Focus on a strategic cycle that builds awareness, shares a unique perspective, provides a behind-the-scenes look, and finishes with a clear call to action to drive your audience to your latest episode.Repurpose with Intention: Don't try to be everywhere at once.

Do your interviews feel repetitive or shallow? Most podcasters jump straight into the interview format without any formal training in journalism, leading to cookie-cutter episodes that fail to stand out in a crowded market. This lack of interview strategy often results in missed opportunities for deep emotional connections and long-term listener engagement. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Alesia sits down with former investigative journalist and award-winning storyteller Tanya Targett Camacho. They discuss how to move beyond the surface-level "journalist" role and become a master interviewer who can sit in silence, ask intentional questions, and create an experience that is truly unique for your listeners. If you're tired of asking the same questions as everyone else and want to learn how to uncover the powerful, untold stories within your guests, this episode is for you. This week, episode 262 of Podcasting Unlocked is about journalism secrets for high-impact podcast interviews! Often called the “Media Darling,” Tanya Targett Camacho is an award-winning former investigative journalist turned video storytelling strategist for female entrepreneurs. Known for her fearless approach to uncovering golden soundbites, Tanya has helped women in 12 countries turn interviews into binge-worthy content — generating $7.4M+ in free publicity and features in The New York Times, Forbes, HuffPost, CNN, BBC, and FOX. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Tanya Targett Camacho is sharing the importance of listening to the answers your interviewees give you and actionable steps you can take right now to go deeper in your podcast interviews. Tanya and I also chat about the following: Why sitting in silence is often the most powerful tool in an interviewer's toolkit.The importance of focusing on what your listeners need to hear, not what makes your guest look perfect.Using intentional questions to uncover the "why" behind the guest's experiences, transforming a simple Q&A into a high-impact storytelling session.Harnessing the power of hope to leave your listeners feeling empowered.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Many purpose-driven podcasters reach major episode milestones only to realize their backlog feels like a content graveyard, where great insights go to be forgotten. This leads to missed opportunities for podcast growth, lower engagement, and stagnant lead generation. If you feel like your past hard work isn't working for you anymore, this episode of Podcasting Unlocked is your wake-up call. In this episode of Podcastin Unlocked, you'll learn how to breathe new life into old episodes, reduce listener overwhelm, and turn your archives into a consistent source of income and authority as Alesia explores how to transform your extensive archive into a strategic asset. She also breaks down the four essential pillars of backlog repurposing: Growth, Engagement, Impact, and Conversion. This week, episode 261 of Podcasting Unlocked is about repurposing your podcast content for growth, engagement, and revenue! In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm sharing the importance of SEO and discovery for podcast growth and actionable steps you can take right now to utilize your backlog of content to build trust with your audience and bring in new clients. I also chat about the following: Pillar 1: Growth through SEO Audits – Stop letting bad titles hide your best work. Identify your top-performing past episodes and perform an SEO audit by renaming titles and updating descriptions with high-intent keywords to improve discoverability in podcast players.Pillar 2: Engagement with Curated Playlists – Deep backlogs can overwhelm new listeners. Reduce the "barrier to entry" by creating curated playlists around specific themes—such as "Business Strategy" or "Self-Discovery"—to guide your audience through your most valuable content.Pillar 3: Impact through Authority Building – Use your archives to cement your professional reputation. Create "RoundUp" episodes or "Best Of" segments that showcase your expertise and remind your audience why you are a leader in your niche.Pillar 4: Conversion using Dynamic Ads – Your old episodes are still being discovered by new listeners every day. Update your dynamic ads in your backlog to ensure your current offers, lead magnets, and calls to action are reaching those "evergreen" ears.Your backlog shouldn't be a source of guilt; it should be your greatest business tool. My challenge for you this week is to pick just one pillar. Either rename five old episode titles for better SEO or curate a simple 5-episode playlist for your new listeners. Don't let your impact stop at the release date.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Many podcasters feel pressured to "pick a lane," fearing that if they talk about all their expert topics in the same show, they'll confuse their audience. This "niched-down" anxiety often leads to burnout or a show that feels incomplete because you aren't bringing your whole self to the mic. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Alesia sits down with Brittany Biggett-Heeren, a group fitness instructor and health law expert, to discuss how she successfully integrated her diverse expertise into her show, The Wednesday Wellness Debrief. Beyond podcast strategy, we dive deep into the critical need for postpartum advocacy and maternal health awareness, especially for Black women who face unique societal pressures to "put the cape back on" immediately after childbirth. This week, episode 259 of Podcasting Unlocked is about bringing your full expertise to your podcast strategy! Brittany Biggett-Heeren is the host of a holistic wellness podcast dedicated to empowering professional mothers through the journey of Matrescence using the evidence-based Nine Pillars of Wellness framework. As a certified Pre- and Postnatal Fitness Specialist and former corporate manager with a background in Health Law, she brings a unique, highly-niche perspective to content strategy and business growth. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Brittany Biggett-Heeren is sharing the importance of understanding your whole self when podcasting and actionable steps you can take right now to have a multi-faceted show. Brittany and I also chat about the following: The "Whole-Self" Strategy: You don't have to choose between your professional expertise (like law) and your personal passions (like fitness). Use podcast segments to transition between topics, allowing you to serve as a comprehensive resource for your audience.The Postpartum Gap: Most pregnancy resources focus on the birth, but the postpartum period (the "fourth trimester") is often the most dangerous and under-supported phase for parents. Advocacy is essential to ensure mothers aren't treated as "afterthoughts" once the baby arrives.Dismantling the "Superwoman" Stigma: Black mothers, in particular, face intense societal pressure to recover instantly and handle everything alone. True recovery requires "getting back to the foundation" and treating postpartum healing like the major physical and mental event it is.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Do you spend 45 minutes in a deep, incredible conversation with an expert, only to hit "stop" and never speak to them again? If your podcast guest relationships feel transactional—or worse, non-existent once the recording ends—you are leaving valuable business connections, potential clients, and collaborations on the table. Many podcasters struggle with treating their show as a content factory rather than a networking powerhouse, missing out on the long-term assets these relationships can become. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm breaking down my exact six-step workflow to turn a standard interview into a lasting professional relationship. This week, episode 258 of Podcasting Unlocked is about how to turn every podcast guest into a long-term connection, collaboration, or client! In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm sharing the importance of building trust early with your podcast guests and actionable steps you can take right now to build meaningful relationships with your guests. I also chat about the following: Demonstrate Expertise through Storytelling: During the interview, don't just ask questions—share relevant client success stories and examples of your work. This positions you as an expert to both your listeners and your guest without turning the episode into a full infomercial.The Power of Post-Recording Reciprocity: Use the "golden opportunity" immediately after hitting stop to ask how the guest feels and how you can support their current goals. By offering help first, you trigger the law of reciprocity, often leading to guests asking how they can support you in return.Automate Your Gratitude: Set up a one-week automated follow-up email to thank your guest again and let them know you're working on their episode in the background. This simple touchpoint keeps the connection warm without requiring manual effort for every single guest.Quarterly Re-engagement Strategy: Don't let the relationship die after the release date. Every quarter, use tools to summarize top lessons from your show, quote your past guests, and tag them in social media posts to reignite the conversation and show you genuinely care about their insights.Your guests aren't just a download number; they are humans who can become your greatest collaborators or clients if you treat the relationship with intention . This week, look at your upcoming guest list and ask: What is one way I can support them today?Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Many business owners and coaches fall into the trap of the "cookie cutter" podcast: standard intro, standard guest questions, and zero strategy for growth. The result? You're putting in hours of work but missing the mark on lead generation and authority building. In this episode, Alesia sits down with podcast strategist Carl Richards to discuss how to stop being "invisible" and start being "seen and heard". This week, episode 257 of Podcasting Unlocked is about your podcast strategy for collaboration and conversion! Carl Richards has spent more than 25 years behind the microphone, on radio and on stage, entertaining and influencing audiences world wide. He's a 3x best selling author, TEDx Speaker and emcee, Podcast host and the founder and CEO of Carl Speaks and Podcast Solutions Made Made Simple. Carl helps coaches, consultants and other subject matter experts become the go to authority by launching world class podcasts. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Carl Richards is sharing the importance of collaboration and community in podcasting and actionable steps you can take right now to present yourself as an expert in your field. Carl and I also chat about the following: Ditch the "Cookie Cutter" Format: Avoid following the same standard templates and rapid-fire questions as everyone else in your niche . To win in 2026, your show must be "uniquely you," separating your brand from the "yawn podcasts" that lack personality.Reclaim Your Runway: Stop giving 95% of the airtime to your guests. You are the expert and the host; ensure you are sharing your own insights and thought leadership so the audience builds trust with you, not just your guest.Master the Strategic CTA: Don't wait until the final 30 seconds to tell people what to do. Integrate "strategically placed" and conversational calls to action throughout your episode that lead listeners to an assessment, an email list, or a discovery call.Guest with a Plan: When appearing on other shows, don't just "show up." Have a specific goal in mind, such as growing your email list, and use an easy-to-remember link to capture leads.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Many purpose-driven podcasters find themselves stuck in an "inner circle" bubble, hesitant to invite guests with differing views or cultural backgrounds because they fear causing unintentional harm or facing backlash. This fear of making "messy mistakes" often prevents us from having the deep, impactful conversations that actually bridge divides and grow our audience's perspectives. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Alesia sits down with Danielle Marshall to discuss how to navigate the discomfort of cultural differences with accountability and transparency. This week, episode 256 of Podcasting Unlocked is about messy conversations and meaningful growth! Danielle Marshall is an Equity Strategist, Executive Coach, and Host of Unpacked: Culture Chronicles, a podcast exploring how curiosity can bridge cultural divides and bring people closer across differences. Danielle has dedicated her 25+ year career to challenging assumptions, shifting narratives, and fostering meaningful change.In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Danielle Marshall is sharing the importance of allowing people the space to change their mind and actionable steps you can take right now to hold space for learning to be more inclusive in your podcast. Danielle and I also chat about the following: "Pre-Game" for Potential Conflict: Before hitting record on a sensitive topic, decide how you want to handle it if you do say the wrong thing. Acknowledging that mistakes are a possibility allows you to respond with intention rather than reacting out of fear .Transform Mistakes into Teachable Moments: If you are called out or corrected (like being "called in" about pronoun usage), don't get defensive. Use it as an opportunity to apologize, acknowledge the impact, and publicly share what you will do differently next time to help your audience learn alongside you .Lead with Curiosity, Not Expertise: You don't have to be an expert on every culture to have a meaningful conversation. Approach your guests with a "natural curiosity"—asking questions and being open to unknown paths is often more rewarding than following a rigid, "safe" script.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Are you living "week-to-week" with your podcast production? We spend hours planning content calendars and guest lists, but one unexpected life event—like a lost voice or a family emergency—can derail your entire schedule. This common struggle leads to missed episodes, overwhelming guilt, and the fear of losing the audience trust you've worked so hard to build. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm walking you through how to create a “break glass in case of emergency” plan for when life throws you a curveball and you need to readjust, miss a week, or take a break. This week, episode 255 of Podcasting Unlocked is about creating your podcast emergency plan! In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm sharing the importance of communicating clearly and effectively with your audience about the situation  and actionable steps you can take right now to prepare for an unplanned (or planned!) break from your show. I also chat about the following: Building an emergency content back to draw from when you can't record an episode.Utilizing options like dynamic content and email lists to communicate changes with your audience in real time.Reaching out to hosts of shows you've guested on to see if you can spotlight your episode in an emergency - and drive more traffic to them!Understanding that  a strategic, communicated break is better than only showing up as your ‘half self' for your audience.Your podcast should be a tool that serves your business, not a burden that drains your health.

Are you feeling like your podcast has become a never-ending chore rather than a creative outlet? A rigid path of weekly production - without proper workflows - often leads straight to burnout. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we sit down with Jacki Hayes to challenge the status quo of "hustle" podcasting. We dive deep into how to reclaim your capacity by implementing a seasonal approach, optimizing your workflow, and identifying exactly when and what to delegate. This week, episode 253 of Podcasting Unlocked is about time saving systems for podcasters! Jacki Hayes helps creative service providers build businesses that actually work—for them and their clients. She's the go-to when you're ready to stop duct-taping systems together and finally create a business that runs with more ease, clarity, and flexibility.

This buffer allows you to maintain consistency on the front end without feeling the stress of "Tuesday is coming" on the back end .Systemize Before You Delegate: Use project management tools like ClickUp and document your SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) before bringing on help. This ensures that when you do hire a virtual assistant or producer, they have a clear roadmap to follow.Personalize Your Workflow: Stop following "cookie-cutter" templates. Whether you are an early-bird perfectionist or a last-minute deadline seeker, your systems should be built around how you actually work best.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

Many podcasters and business owners spent 2025 chasing social media algorithms and over-repurposing content, only to feel disconnected from their audience.

In this episode of The Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, we're joined by the one-and-only Alesia Visconti, CEO of FranServe, seven-time Top 100 Influencer in Franchising, and author of The Pink Tsunami: The Rise of Women in Franchising. If franchising had a power source, Alesia would be plugged directly into it.First, a big thank you to our episode sponsor, ClientTether, for supporting the show and helping franchise brands build stronger, more connected relationships through smart automation.Alesia shares her journey from a long career in career services to accidentally-on-purpose falling into franchising, becoming a FranServe consultant, and then buying the company just 18 months later. Since then, she's led FranServe's growth into the largest franchise broker network in the world, all while anchoring the organization around one non-negotiable value: integrity is everything.The heart of the conversation digs into one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics in franchising today: proposed changes around third-party franchise sales disclosures. Alesia breaks down what's actually happening, why it's happening, and why the fear swirling around it doesn't match reality. Rather than heavy-handed regulation, the current direction focuses on simple, transparent disclosures that protect consumers, elevate ethical brokers and FSOs, and help weed out bad actors who give the industry a bad name.We also explore how these changes could strengthen trust in franchising overall, reduce headline-grabbing scandals, and make the industry more approachable for future franchise owners. Alesia explains why transparency around compensation, experience, brand representation, and potential conflicts of interest isn't a threat—it's a long-term win for brokers, brands, and candidates alike.Finally, Alesia shares her perspective on timing, why staying engaged now matters more than waiting for laws to drop, and how having franchising leaders at the table helps shape practical, realistic standards instead of reactive regulation.This episode is equal parts insight, candor, and clarity—plus a reminder that sunlight, integrity, and open dialogue are still the best tools we have to build an industry that lasts.#franchising #franchiseleadership #transparency #franchiseconsulting #womeninfranchising

Here's a 300-word iTunes/Podcast Apps summary for Episode 562: What happens when your carefully planned vacation in France takes an unexpected turn? In Unexpected France: History, Nature, and a Bit of Chaos, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Gregg Furey about a journey filled with breathtaking discoveries, surprising challenges, and a few classic French travel mishaps. Listen to this episode ad-free Gregg's trip took him to places most visitors overlook. He explored the prehistoric caves of Arcy-sur-Cure, where ancient paintings connect today's traveler with humanity's earliest stories. He visited the soaring cathedrals of Laon and Bourges, each one a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. At the battlefield of Alésia, Gregg learned how Julius Caesar defeated Vercingetorix and how that moment still shapes French identity. And in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, he reflected on the life of General Charles de Gaulle at the Croix de Lorraine memorial and museum. But not everything went according to plan. Gregg ended up in a hospital in Sarlat after unexpected health issues. Instead of panic, he found efficient doctors, affordable treatment, and an eye-opening look at how the French healthcare system really works. This detour disrupted his schedule but turned into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. This conversation is about more than just sightseeing. It's about handling the unpredictable. It's about staying flexible, finding humor when things go wrong, and discovering that mishaps often make the best stories. Annie and Gregg remind us that France is more than Paris and the Riviera. Smaller towns, Roman ruins, and quiet villages hold just as much magic. Subscribe to the Join Us in France Travel Podcast to hear more stories like this one.
