Podcasts about podcast coaching

What do you get when you mix a CPA, a homeschooling mom of three, two podcasts, and a “try anything once” mindset? In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend Teran Sands - CPA, content creator, and host of What Your CPA Wants You to Know and Well This Wasn't the Plan. She shares what it's like to co-host two different podcasts and how her path led her into podcasting in the first place. With over 364,000 Instagram followers and a rapidly growing online presence, Teran breaks down why she approached the launch of her second podcast differently than her first, why waiting for things to be perfect can hold you back, and how she treats her content like a real business by using data to guide growth. We also dive into navigating negative comments, why online success rarely happens overnight, and how consistency and experimentation fueled her momentum. We wrap things up with a live coaching session focused on monetizing her homeschooling podcast, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the same strategic questions and ideas I use in my one-on-one podcast consultations. Key Topics CoveredCo-hosting multiple podcasts with different dynamicsLaunching a podcast before everything feels “perfect”Treating podcasting and content creation like a real businessHow to legally pay your children through your small businessHandling negative comments and online criticism as a creatorWhy growth on social media doesn't happen overnightUsing analytics and numbers to guide content strategyOutsourcing podcast production and the time it can saveCreative and outside-the-box podcast monetization ideasLinks:Follow Teran on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teransands/Listen to Teran's CPA Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0NzUggPyGYZungtsy4yYB8?si=99c3daebbea04c25&nd=1&dlsi=5f9800eba7424a79Listen to Teran's Homeschooling Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-this-wasnt-the-plan/id1832360658Teran's Freezer Meal Prep: https://stan.store/teransands/p/get-my-freezer-meal-guide-now?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnjIWzABVbPXgAJt9Zt0iyr9A7zTEAipRpxEyRe61fs8lIpttemxxPb0_tclg_aem_pmy6xSWhqkwV7FzMjdLl8QSponsors:Visit CASACAMPO'S website: https://visitcasacampo.com/Follow CASACAMPO on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/visitcasacampo/Let's Connect!

You've got a podcast but is it working? What does a successful podcast mean anyway? Do you go solo? Have interviews? How do you keep up and stay consistent? Or just repurpose what you already have?

Business partnerships can be powerful accelerators for growth—but only when they're built on a healthy foundation. In this episode, we dive into the three essentials every entrepreneur needs to navigate collaborations with confidence: boundaries, agreements, and polarization. You'll discover how clear boundaries protect your time, energy, and vision without burning bridges, why written and verbal agreements create trust and prevent messy misunderstandings, and how leaning into polarization actually strengthens partnerships by keeping both sides aligned with their values. If you've ever struggled with partnerships that drained you instead of propelling you forward, this episode will give you practical tools to build connections that are both profitable and life-giving.

"We suffer more in imagination than in reality." — Seneca.Think about that. Most of what keeps us stuck isn't the actual problem — it's the stress we create around it. Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you push, it's like you're walking through quicksand — the harder you fight, the deeper you sink? That's the trap of stress. It doesn't just slow you down; it convinces you that you can't move forward at all.Want to get my coaching? DM the words "Podcast Coaching" to get 1:1 coaching with me today!

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

This will be the final episode of Podcast Talent Coach. It has been a great journey through 550 shows. But, it has reached its destination. WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS THE END I've met a lot of great people. The things I've learned are immeasurable. The journey has been incredible. As I was shaping this episode, I thought about a variety of approaches. The 7 things I learned over 550 episodes. The top ten people I've met. The list of mentors who shaped my success. Everything I considered seemed cliché. So, I'm just taking you to how it came to be. The end of the show came to me during my latest launch. As the cart close approached, I realized the end was near. WHERE IT STARTED This all started 20 years ago. In a March 2005 edition of Wired Magazine, I came across an article about MTV VJ Adam Curry. The article was called "Adam Curry Wants You To Be An iPod Radio Star". The article mentioned that Curry was the brains behind iPodder, described as the offspring of the blog and the Apple MP3 player. This was the beginning of podcasting. And I was fascinated. Unfortunately, I had no interest in tech. A few years later I got my first iPhone. I was soon downloading podcasts. By 2009, I was in love with the format. By this time, I had been coaching radio talent for about 15 years with a successful radio show of my own. As I listened to these podcasts, I thought they could be so much more effective if they just used the techniques we used in radio to connect with an audience. They just didn't know what they didn't know. It was still the wild west. MY PERSONAL LAUNCH I started creating content. By 2012 I was speaking on stage at events like New Media Expo and BlogWorld. In June 2013, this podcast was launched. It was also the month that Ken Allan became my first coaching client. He came to me help him create stronger content and a more compelling show. Over the years, I've coached many incredible content creators. I've created a few courses and live programs. There have been webinars that have completely crashed, 3-day events that have been incredible, and lots in between. As the years went on, I started drifting away from stronger content and more toward launching podcasts. THE DRIFT STARTED HAPPENING As I would explain what I do to help people create effective content, people would say, "That sounds great, Erik... but I don't have a podcast." Launching a podcast isn't the tough part. The struggle is figuring out what to do with your podcast. Getting to grow and using it to generate revenue are the areas that create challenges for people. But, they wanted me to help them launch. So, I did. I launched the Podcast Launch Accelerator to help people launch in 30 days. That's when I started attracting people who didn't have a podcast rather than those that needed help with content and growth. Two problems come from this. First, I was attracting people who needed help launching rather than those who wanted more effective content. Second, I was now more into tech and less into how to use it. Exactly where I didn't want to be. BACK TO MY ROOTS So, I got back to my roots. I dove into become influential with your content. My content became more about who you are, how you share your story, and how you move a room to action. We were talking less about how to launch. I recently did market research around influence and impact. I talked to dozens of people about where they struggle regarding becoming someone worth listening to.
