Guesting on Jimmy Kimmel, Michelle Obama revealed she & Barack were scheduled to hang with the Reiners the night they were found dead. She had a few words to say about Trump, too.
Guesting on podcasts can absolutely grow your business but only if you're showing up in front of the right audiences. Otherwise, you're just wasting time, energy, and mic moments that could be working harder for you.In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest mistake people make with podcast guesting: saying yes to every single show that comes their way. Because here's the truth not every audience is your audience. And once you start focusing on alignment over volume, that's when things start to click.We'll cover:The #1 reason most guesting efforts don't convert (and how to fix it)Why five aligned podcast appearances can outperform fifty random onesHow to know if a show's audience actually matches your goalsThe signs a podcast is a yes (or a polite pass)What happens when you get it right — easier conversations, stronger connections, and real resultsWhy hosts need this too: saying “no” protects your brand and builds trustIf you're ready to stop guessing and start showing up where it counts, this episode will help you rethink how you approach guesting and make sure every mic you step up to actually moves your business forward.Grab your free guesting tracker here -> https://candacedudley.myflodesk.com/tracker

Most podcasters think growth comes from hustling guest appearances or endlessly turning episodes into short-form videos for social media. But guesting eats up hours you don't have, and social posts won't grow a show. So when you're an independent podcaster without a big budget for ads (and without a lot of extra time), what actually works?Lauren Passell of Tink Media is back to reveal one of the most overlooked organic strategies for podcast growth that lets you repurpose content you're already creating and put it in front of new perfect-fit listeners. You'll learn why this little-known approach works even for small shows, how to find the right partners, and how to set it up to grow your podcast in as little as 15 minutes a week. So before you waste another second chasing guest spots or grinding out clips that no one watches, hit play and let's dive in. 3:01 – Why Guesting and Social Media Don't Deliver Long-Term Growth7:12 – The Real Reason Newsletter Swaps Work Even for Small Shows12:34 – Why Your Own Email List Makes Every Swap More Valuable19:57 – What to Offer Collaborators Even If You Think You Have Nothing to Give23:41 – How to Tell If a Newsletter Swap Actually Worked Episode Links:Rephonic.com/graph Meet Lauren Passell: TinkMedia.co | LinkedInRead Lauren's Podcast The Newsletter Other Episodes You'll Love:The Audience-Borrowing Strategy That Turns Strangers Into Listeners3 Low-Lift Ways to Get New Listeners Without Living on Social Media → This episode was recorded on the Deity VO-7USupport the showLiked this episode?

Podcast interview marketing is one of the fastest ways for health coaches to grow authority, expand reach, and attract right-fit clients—without living on social media. Strategist Chloe Williamson from Interview Valet explains how to guest on the right shows, borrow trust from vetted hosts, repurpose long-form interviews into evergreen content, and build a campaign aligned to your goals (education, client acquisition, or authority). What You'll Learn Why podcast guesting often outperforms hosting for lead generation and credibility How to pick shows strategically (audience fit, titles/descriptions, host style, discoverability) Research that matters: demographics, geography, trends, and topic data Chloe uses Messaging that converts: overcoming "bragging" reluctance, positioning, and clear offers Evergreen content playbook: turn one 45-minute interview into emails, reels, blogs, ads, and talks Busting the "saturation" myth in health and wellness Guesting without social media: leverage email/newsletters and communities Post-interview promotion that actually moves the needle (and what to ask the host) Setting realistic goals and reverse-engineering your guesting plan Key Topics & Flow Chloe's origin story and why guesting resonates in health & wellness Borrowed trust: how vetted hosts pre-warm their audiences Strategy vs. spaghetti: choosing shows, not just chasing downloads How to talk about yourself without feeling "braggy" Guesting > hosting for client leads (while both can coexist) Evergreen repurposing: interviews → emails, reels, blogs, talks, ads Seasons, replays, and keeping your feed ranking and discoverable "Niche down + niche out": expanding beyond a too-tiny avatar Defeating the oversaturation myth: everyone needs health Next steps: goal setting, outreach, prep, and post-show promotion Action Steps for Health Coaches Set your primary goal: education/authority, client acquisition, or content creation. Build a show shortlist: audience fit, guest-friendly titles/descriptions, searchable show notes. Develop talk tracks: 3 core stories, 3 actionable tips, 1 clear call-to-action. Pitch with proof: outcomes, case examples, and a tailored angle for each host. Repurpose immediately: pull 5–10 clips/quotes, 1 newsletter, 1 blog, and 3 reels from each interview.

Special Guest Stefanie Carlstedt stefcarlstedt.com/hdreport Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed! I'm your host, Karen Roberts — and in today's conversation, we're diving deep into a topic that's changing the way entrepreneurs approach growth and success: Human Design. My guest, Stefanie Carlstedt, helps heart-led entrepreneurs build aligned, sustainable businesses by using human design to tailor their marketing, sales, and strategy to who they truly are. After years of burnout and loss, Stefanie found Human Design and realized that success isn't about following every “guru” system — it's about honoring your unique blueprint. In this powerful conversation, we explore how aligning your business with your natural energy can eliminate burnout, boost creativity, and create results that actually feel good. Stefanie shares how understanding your Human Design type reveals your most natural way of communicating, attracting clients, and making decisions. I loved how she explained that burnout doesn't come from doing too much — it comes from doing things that aren't aligned with who you are. When you align your actions with your design, everything flows more easily. We also talked about the “new era of individuality” — where authenticity and self-trust will define success. In a world full of noise, Stefanie believes the entrepreneurs who thrive will be those who deeply know themselves and build their businesses around that awareness. Key Takeaways (from me as the host): ✨ Success comes when you stop following everyone else's blueprint and start trusting your own. ✨ Burnout is a symptom of misalignment, not overwork. ✨ Understanding your Human Design helps you market, sell, and serve in a way that feels natural. ✨ Comparison fades when you embrace your unique purpose. ✨ Authenticity is the new currency in business.

I'm not a pumpkin spice latte kind of girl...but I am drooling over pumpkin pie with flaky crust and whipped cream.

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.

Guesting on podcasts isn't optional anymore...Not if you're serious about growing your business. Today I'm walking you through four things you need to be thinking about before you pitch another podcast.These aren't hacks or templates. They're foundational for getting booked on aligned, complementary shows, the kind of interviews that actually grow your authority, not just your download count.I'm not walking through all seven guesting building blocks from the guide, but I am sharing four concepts to sharpen your strategy and save you time in your outreach.If you're pitching, guesting, or thinking about adding podcast interviews into your marketing plan—this is where you start.
Do you read books just to hit a number each year? Or do you soak in a select few so you can implement, implement, implement?When I hit record this week with my neatly outlined episode, I sensed something was... off. The timing didn't feel right, but I couldn't put my finger on why.And then it hit me.I knew I had to pause the power-packed guesting episode I had planned (don't worry - it's coming next week). Because sometimes your perfectly mapped-out plan gets hijacked. And by hijacked, I mean gently, yet unmistakably, redirected by God.If your podcast (and business) feel strung out on tactics and starving for purpose, lean in. I'm sharing the detour He walked me through -- a detour that pulled me back to the foundation of why I even grabbed the mic in the first place.I'm confronting a few excuses I didn't realize I was still hiding behind… and offering you a challenge that could flip the whole second half of your 2025.(P.S. Stay to the end; I tease next week's play-by-play on turning guest spots into revenue streams...because purpose and profit can absolutely share a mic.)Almolonga Guatemala Revival Recommended Read: Anointed for Business - Ed Silvoso
