Join Jeff Malec for a special solo "6-pack" episode where he tackles six topics on his mind during the summer podcast break. Jeff starts by examining the challenging trend following drawdown that's been plaguing the markets, sharing insights from his 25 years in the space and why this one feels different. He pays tribute to Waldo Wiens, the legendary Kansas farmer who backed dozens of CTAs with hundreds of millions and helped shape the managed futures industry. Reflecting on Hurricane Katrina's 20th anniversary, Jeff explores the storm's market lessons and marvels at how quant models are being used to save lives in weather forecasting. He dives into AI's growing role in finance and education, questioning whether it's becoming a crutch rather than a multiplier and pondering its potential economic implications. Jeff makes the case for smart leverage as a diversification tool, challenging common investor misconceptions about risk management. The episode wraps up with his personal rants on everything from wind turbines (not windmills!) to highway etiquette. No guest, no agenda - just Jeff's unfiltered thoughts on markets, life, and everything in between.Chapters:00:00-01:04=Intro01:05-05:03=The Nasty Trend Drawdown05:04-08:24=Remembering Waldo Wiens08:25-13:49=Hurricane Katrina at 2013:50-17:20=AI: Multiplier or Crutch?17:21-20:50=Smart Leverage vs. Toxic Leverage20:51-24:08=Quick RantsSuper Storms, Mathematical Modeling, and Hurricane Hunting with Dr. Jeff Masters on The DerivativeDon't forget to subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Derivative⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, follow us on Twitter at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rcmAlts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and our host Jeff at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AttainCap2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign-up for our blog digest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

Yoav Git and Alan Dunne sits down for a conversation that challenges familiar assumptions about curve trading, market structure, and the role of CTAs. They explore why dislocations across time horizons create pockets of alpha most models miss, and how breakout behavior in commodity spreads signals more than noise. Drawing on a recent Bank of England study, Yoav explains how different participants leave distinct footprints on the FX curve, and why CTAs, far from being passive allocators, can act as dynamic responders to changing regimes.

Louie talks through how to turn listeners into loyal fans and buyers by creating calls to action (CTAs) that actually get clicked on and grow your audience and pool of regular buyers. He explains exactly how to create and record simple, engaging CTAs that get your audience to take the action you need them to, whether that is subscribing, reviewing, booking an event, buying a course, coaching, or something else. Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! Use email: podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways  The simpler the action is, the more likely it is people will do it. Subscribing, rating, or visiting a website are examples of quick and easy actions. Think about what it is that you're doing and what it is you want your audience member to do, then make it easy for them to take that action. Your CTA needs to be short, simple and give people a reason to do it. Tailor your CTA to the platform (s) you are using. Louie explains how. Put your CTA in the first third of your content. Creating a flawless CTA may take you several takes, so put aside enough time to get the job done. BEST MOMENTS “A call to action is asking someone to do something. It's a call to do an action - this can be as simple as liking, subscribing, following, rating, any of that jazz.” “With the CTAs, you can't ask them to do too much. You've got to make it easy, clickable, one thing - one simple step.” “Like and subscribe is more of a video thing. Rating and reviewing is more of a podcast thing. So, think about what platform you want to be on and just record something.” "You want this advert to come in early, to get the most people possible.

We welcome our latest guest, Jessica Rhodes — founder of Interview Connections (pioneer podcast booking agency), to the show! She joins us to share how podcast guesting helps health coaches attract clients, monetize content, and build authority—plus practical steps to start now. In this episode, Jessica breaks down why guesting is the fastest path for health coaches to create content, grow visibility, and generate leads—especially when your best ideas surface through Q&A conversation. We cover when to host vs. guest, how to monetize (funnels, CTAs, affiliate marketing, repurposing), and why the green-room connection (before/after the interview) often drives real business. Why this matters for health coaches Complex, personalized services convert best through conversation, not scripts. Guesting = low-lift content creation + instant authority via borrowed audiences. Hosting builds a home base; guesting builds reach. Use both strategically. Key takeaways Start as a guest to clarify messaging; then consider launching your show. Treat your podcast (hosted or guest spots) as part of a marketing funnel: problem → value → clear CTA every time. Monetize beyond ads: affiliate offers, service enrollments, lead magnets, networking with hosts. Repurpose every interview: short clips, reels, emails, blogs—one appearance = weeks of content. Leverage the green-room chat (off-air). Relationships there often become clients, partners, or affiliates. Follow demand: pitch shows where your ideal buyer already listens. Action steps (do this next) Define one offer + one CTA you'll use on every interview. Draft 5–7 signature questions you answer brilliantly (and suggested questions for hosts). Create a repurposing checklist (clips, quotes, newsletter, LinkedIn/IG posts). Build a simple booking page/lead magnet to capture interest from episodes. Pitch 5 aligned shows this week—or work with a specialized podcast booking agency. Host vs. Guest — equal power, different benefits Guesting: Audience growth, authority by association, faster lead gen. Hosting: Consistent nurture for your list, message control, deeper brand assets. Monetization quick hits Funnel-first: every episode points to one next step (quiz, call, free training). Affiliate marketing works with small but engaged audiences. Track results: appearances → traffic → email signups → sales. Support the show Rate/review on Apple Podcasts and share with a coach who needs a guesting strategy.

If your LinkedIn feed looks like a museum of giant n8n screenshots and “comment to get the guide” posts…good. That means the playbook works—when you do it right. Paolo breaks down the exact framework his agency uses to turn LinkedIn into a repeatable inbound lead engine for B2B—especially SaaS, agencies, and info businesses.What You'll LearnLead magnet mechanics that still crush: how to pick the right asset (templates vs. guides), formats that perform (Notion docs, Miro boards, short scroll videos), and the “perceived value + curiosity + scarcity” combo.Hooks that make people click “See more”: trigger desire, fear, or curiosity in the first 3 lines.Pattern interrupts that boost reach: why oversized workflows, zoom-ins, and 10-second sped-up videos spike hover time and help the algo.Profile-as-landing-page: how to structure your headline, Featured section, and CTAs to funnel traffic without tanking post reach.Nurture after the comment: DM prompts that qualify intent, when to drop case studies, and how to avoid low-intent “free audit” traps.Where this shines: B2B SaaS, agencies, consultants/coaches—audiences that are active on LinkedIn and buy from content.Paolo's Playbook (Step-by-Step)Pick the problem (one ICP pain your offer solves).Choose the asset format based on buyer type:Done-for-you buyers → plug-and-play templates.Education/info buyers → guides/videos.Design the preview media to signal value and create curiosity:Notion table of contents screenshot, massive Miro flow, or a 10-sec scroll video.Write the post like this:3-line hook (desire/fear/curiosity).Promise + what's inside.CTA to comment (optionally “repost for priority”).Light scarcity (e.g., 48-hour window).Delivery & DMs:Send the asset, ask an easy reply (“Are you posting on LinkedIn yet?”).Qualify with 1–2 follow-ups, then make a clear offer with outcomes + timeline (+ guarantee if you have one).Nurture cadence (next 2–3 days):Day 1: Case study (story format: before → intervention → after; CTA to book).Day 2: Technical value post (lower engagement is fine; it nurtures).Add strongest case studies to Featured on your profile.Links without nuking reach:Push to profile/Featured or drop links in comments; edit the post later to add the link after it's cooked.Tactical NuggetsComments > Likes (weightier signal + more hover time).Avoid bot pods; if you coordinate engagement, keep it real accounts and relationships.For SaaS without a free trial, push to a free setup/usage guide that inherently requires the product.Use storytelling in case studies; people remember transformations, not dashboards.If you're running volume lead magnets, expect lower engagement on deep-dive posts—that's normal and still effective.Tools & Formats MentionedNotion (TOC screenshot as lead magnet preview)Miro (big workflow screenshots)n8n (automation diagrams that stop the scroll)Short scroll videos (10–15s, autoplay pattern interrupt)AI voice agent (optional MOFU experiment to educate and qualify at scale before handing off to a human)Who This Works Best ForB2B SaaS (often top performer)AgenciesConsultants/CoachesAny ICP that's active on LinkedIn and buys based on content/authoritySponsorTalent Fiber — Hire world-class global talent (engineers with 7+ years' experience, U.S. time zones, excellent English) at ~⅓ U.S. cost.

Is your podcast suffering because you're too nice? In this episode, I call out the people pleasers because trying to make everyone happy could be killing your podcast's impact (and ROI). I see it over and over: podcasters letting guests ramble, avoiding clear CTAs, skipping structure and systems, all in the name of being nice. In this episode, I break down exactly how people pleasing shows up in (and hurts) your podcast: On air: letting guests hijack your show and ignoring your listener Behind the scenes: missing deadlines and burning out because you didn't set boundaries In your business: holding back your offers, afraid of sounding too salesy And the biggest trap of all… avoiding niching because you don't want to leave anyone out If you've been putting everyone else's comfort ahead of your podcast's purpose, this is your wake-up call. Your listener needs you to show up with confidence and clarity, not deliver watered-down content and wobbly leadership. So, let's talk about how to stop people pleasing and start podcasting like a pro.

Sahil Patel runs a company called Spiralize and this guy has the proof to back up everything he says. He's tested over 1,500 different websites with millions of visitors, so when he tells you what works and what doesn't, you should pay attention. What I love about Sahil is he doesn't just talk about fancy theories - he breaks down website stuff into simple tips that you can use right now. He shares helpful advice on LinkedIn four times a week, and his superpower is showing businesses exactly why their websites aren't making money and how to fix them today. KEY TAKEAWAYS: "Request a Demo" is the worst-performing call-to-action button because it sounds passive and reminds people they have to talk to a salesperson. "Get Started" and "Get a Demo" are the highest-converting CTAs because they're action-focused and don't feel like you're asking for something. Your landing page headline must match your ad copy exactly - if your ad says "cat food" but your page shows "dog food," people will leave immediately. Younger generations (Gen Z and Millennials) hate phone calls so much that B2B sales will shift toward self-service buying, just like Tesla and Carvana did for cars. You need at least 100 form submissions on each version of your test before you can trust the results and make changes. Shorter, more skimmable landing pages work better than long ones because people spend less than two minutes reading your page. AI can help you write faster first drafts of copy, but humans still need to refine it and create emotional hooks that connect with buyers. Having a therapist before you need one is critical for business leaders because running a company means living through constant ups and downs. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Are you a coach using video to grow your business but struggling to turn those videos into real leads and clients? This episode is your game-changer. Tune in to learn a proven, step-by-step video funnel strategy that's generating consistent inbound leads from just 1–2 videos a month—even in 2025's changing content landscape. You'll discover how to shift from outdated lead magnets to high-converting “micro win offers,” how to spark meaningful conversations with warm leads, and how to turn engagement into booked calls and clients. Whether you're in fitness, health, or coaching, this is a must-listen to create content that actually converts.   “Stop being so damn vanilla. Maybe you have to be more polarizing with your stuff. Maybe, just maybe you have to get better at your skills. Go figure.”   Key Takeaways: Simple Video Funnel = Consistent Leads A well-crafted video funnel using just 1–2 strategic videos a month can consistently generate inbound leads and clients when done correctly. Long-Form Video Is Back Studies from Meta and Google show that long-form content is crucial for conversions, with buyers needing around 7 hours of content across 11 touchpoints and 4 mediums before making a purchase. Magic Money Math Is Essential Knowing your key performance indicators—especially your "magic number" (e.g., how many call offers or conversations you need daily)—helps you stay focused on income-producing actions. Micro Win Offers Outperform Traditional Lead Magnets Instead of outdated PDFs and guides, offer quick, high-value tools (like GPTs, calculators, or checklists) that create tangible results in under 10 minutes to build trust and generate interest. Messaging Must Match the Market If your content isn't getting engagement or leads, the issue is likely your messaging. Speak the right words, in the right way, to the right people to create connection and conversion. Engagement Begins with Strategic Content Conversion content campaigns that include posts with clear hooks and CTAs lead to warm conversations in the DMs, which then turn into booked calls and sales—without needing cold outreach.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Andrew Beer and Tom Wroble return to join Niels Kaastrup-Larsen for a timely examination of how trend following is adapting, and why some say it may be losing its edge. Tom unpacks new research showing a quiet drift toward slower models, raising the question of whether CTAs are evolving or converging. Andrew pushes back on the prevailing wisdom around diversification, suggesting that complexity often obscures cost rather than delivering true value. From shifting model speeds to the incentives shaping manager behavior, this is a conversation about what trend following is becoming... and what investors risk overlooking as some strategies grow more complex in pursuit of outperformance.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Andrew on Twitter.Follow Tom on LinkedIn,Episode TimeStamps: 01:52 - What has caught our attention recently?06:11 - Industry performance update07:44 - Wrobel's perspective on the current CTA environment09:32 - Key findings from Wrobel's recent paper14:51 - The shape is key for managing risk17:26 - How changes in the underlying managers affect replication strategies22:10 - Is there such a thing as a happy "medium" in trading speed?28:09 - Are replication strategies less challenged when selecting markets?33:35 - The structure of an allocator36:12 - How much tracking error is acceptable in replication?42:14...

Ever wonder why some podcasters get zero results from their content… while others effortlessly turn listeners into paying customers? This one thing increases your chances significantly! Today we sit down with the legendary Alex Sanfilippo to crack the code on podcast calls-to-action that actually convert. This session was streamed during Podcasting Made simple (a Podmatch event) in front of more than 1,000 people and the feedback was incredible! We are very grateful that Alex and their team are letting us share this private episode :) We're pulling back the curtain on: - The “Six Steps” that make ANY CTA irresistible (not just for podcasts!) - Wild case studies and real-life mistakes most hosts and guests make (and how to avoid them) - The power of keeping it simple, specific, AND sticky - The surprising thing you should NOT ask for at the end of your episode - Why Fonzi believes “short and sticky” wins every time (and what on earth Taylor Swift has to do with podcasting…) Whether you're struggling to convert listeners or just want to refine your strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you drive traffic, grow your audience, and monetize your content effectively! Enjoy! Timestamped Overview: [00:00] Alex intros the special PodMatch Event and sets the stage for discussing powerful podcast CTAs. [02:30] Luis & Fonzi join in — sharing background on how this framework was developed and why most CTAs fail. [04:30] Why “no results” from podcasting usually isn't a content problem — it's a CTA problem. [06:10] Step 0: Develop Know, Like & Trust on the episode — give away real value, don't hold back. [10:15] Step 1: Keep your CTA singular — don't overwhelm your listeners with too many options. [11:35] Step 2: Make it relevant — your CTA must match the content of the episode. [13:40] Step 3: Ensure it's evergreen — so it doesn't expire or confuse future listeners. [17:05] Step 4: Keep it simple to understand — clarity > cleverness. Use “It's like…” analogies. [20:30] Step 5: Make it easy to follow — sticky domains, memorable URLs, or SMS options. [23:55] Test creative ideas: surprise CTAs at the end of episodes, gamification, secret codes. [25:00] Sticky examples: funny URLs, dynamic insertion intros, and Taylor Swift-style rollouts (!). [27:20] Step 6: CTA destination should add value immediately — don't gate everything behind an opt-in. [30:45] Optimize the experience post-CTA: what happens after someone clicks matters. [33:30] Every CTA should reflect your business stage and goals — make it strategic. [34:10] The Biz Bros share details on launching their new community: BusinessCreator.Club.

Hook hard with authority in the first 3 seconds.
Overlay a comment keyword on screen.
Tell them exactly why they need to be inside now.
Post on your grid, repost it again hidden from your profile, run it through trial reels, pin the same hook on Threads with a link, repurpose for TikTok, then take the caption and slice it into an email.2. Repurpose your best story sequence.

Why authenticity will outsell virality in tomorrow's marketingHello, star lovelies! Welcome to the newly-titled Strategic Oracle podcast! Thank you for all the positive feedback about the new title and format! We're looking forward to putting out some exciting episodes in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!Today, we dive deep into the future of marketing. We'll explore emerging trends, how authenticity is reshaping visibility, why values-driven strategies are taking center stage, and how astrological influences are shifting the way businesses connect and grow.Whether you're a visionary entrepreneur, creative leader, or service provider, you'll find actionable strategies to elevate your presence and align your business with true success.Key TakeawaysRedefining Visibility in Modern MarketingShift from performative, high-volume content to genuine, vibrational impact.Authenticity is now your strongest marketing lever—people instantly sense what's real versus what's forced.It's not about being everywhere; it's about being unmistakably you and resonating with your audience.Why Traditional Tactics Are Breaking DownOverused strategies like manipulative urgency, scarcity, and excessive content creation are exhausting audiences and losing effectiveness.The focus has moved from follower counts and viral hopes to meaningful engagement and frequency matching.The new marketing approach is magnetizing people through truth, not through polished perfection.Astrology's Role in Shaping Modern MarketingUranus in Gemini (2025-2033) ushers in tech disruption and rapid change in communication, messaging, and digital presence.Upcoming celestial shifts (Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer) reinforce authenticity, emotional resonance, thought leadership, and decentralization of power toward individual creators.These influences invite you to align your marketing with your values and personal truth for sustainable growth.Two Memorable Quotes“You're not here to be visible, you're here to be vibrationally unmistakable.”“It's not about attention anymore—it's about alignment, inviting your people back to themselves through your truth.”Answers to 3 Key Questions1. Why are traditional marketing tactics like urgency and volume losing impact? (3:11)Old techniques such as urgency, aggressive CTAs, or constant posting are becoming ineffective because audiences crave genuine connection and transparency. As Kim shares, “People are exhausted. They don't want to be chased, they want to feel something.” 2. How are astrology and cosmic trends affecting marketing strategies? (5:47 - 9:09)With Uranus moving into Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, there's a clear shift towards rapid tech evolution, communication breakthroughs, and decentralized power. This encourages brands to focus on their own frequency, values, and truth to magnetize the right clients. 3. What should businesses focus on for sustainable success in this new era? (23:27-25:08)Prioritize integrity, personalized service, and customer-centric experiences. Building deep relationships, focusing on value creation, and remaining adaptive through authenticity and resonance will set you apart in a saturated market.If you found this episode inspiring, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review The Strategic Oracle on your favorite podcast platform.

If your podcast is leaving you feeling a little stuck as you're doing your mid-year audit, the answer is almost never to burn it down and start fresh. I get the instinct to grab the lighter. It's more exciting, frankly more fun, because we don't have to look real hard. We can blame the podcast instead of our approach to the podcast.But here's the thing about overhauls. They're usually expensive, they cost you a lot of energy, and they just push these feelings down the road with wasted time—especially if you never fix the core real center issues of your show.In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I'm walking you through what a real tune-up looks like instead. We're talking about auditing your current content to find the leaks, reviewing your CTAs to make sure they're built for sales (not just performative), shifting your episode planning to think pathways instead of value, and evaluating whether it's time to get support with your production process.Because you don't need to overhaul your show.
