And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.Galatians 6:9There are seasons when the world feels unbearably heavy, and the microphone in front of us feels like too much. Yet it is in these very moments that obedience to our calling as podcasters matters most.In this episode, I want to gently encourage you to keep podcasting.Your voice is a vessel God has entrusted to proclaim the gospel. Podcasting is not simply about growth or numbers; it is about faithfulness.

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.

I was 942 seconds into The Science of Scaling when I hit pause.Not because I was bored.

I'm challenging you to audit your goals, your positioning, and how you're showing up on the mic.Here's what I'm sharing:Why the real bottleneck to scaling might be the attainability of your goalsHow audiobook release strategies may impact you (and what you should (and shouldn't take from it)Why simply uploading audio with your podcast cover art to YouTube is wasting the algorithm's time and yoursThe 3 non-negotiable questions I now ask before creating any episodeWhat “innovate, don't imitate” really looks like when you're using AI as a refiner, not a crutchThis is a conversation about strategic audacity.

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

You'll learn: ✔️ What makes a “bingeable” podcast guest (and how to become one) ✔️ The biggest mistakes people make when pitching themselves ✔️ How to use podcast guesting to grow your audience and build your authority
So you're ready to get your voice heard by new audiences through podcast guesting - let's make sure you're maximising this golden opportunity to create a long-lasting marketing tool for your business by avoiding the common mistakes that leaves so many episodes collecting digital dust in the back shelves! Guesting on a podcast is the ultimate collaboration, a short amount of time to create content that's enjoyed for years to come, yet so many episodes are poorly executed and few ever hear about them. It's not hard to create magnetic content so in this episode we're spilling the secrets on how to succeed, and what your role is as a guest! My guest is Candace Dudley, the cheerful host of the Better Brave podcast. Candace isn't just a seasoned podcaster, she's also a mum, former teacher, and someone who found her real voice - and built her business -through following one persistent nudge. Candace now helps women step into podcasting with confidence, whether that's launching their own show or getting booked on aligned podcasts that actually move the needle. Here's a few questions we'll be answering when you tune into this episode: Why should you consider podcasting right now, and what makes it such a lasting investment for your business? What stops so many women from ever hitting record (and what's the most surprising thing that might be holding you back)? How do you find and pitch yourself to podcasts that fit your business, expertise, and audience—without feeling awkward or inauthentic? What are the must-avoid mistakes and “make or break it” tips for being a memorable podcast guest? Why does the identity shift—actually calling yourself a ‘podcaster' or ‘expert'—matter so much in building real confidence? If you're ready for real, actionable inspiration (plus a generous dose of honesty about the mindset wobbles and practical side of podcasting) you're going to love this chat.
