Terri challenges the myth of market saturation and explains: Why cash-based businesses are NOT commodities The difference between "selling services" vs. selling outcomes Why education is still a form of ethical sales How emotional decision-making drives buying behavior Clients don't buy nutrition plans, coaching sessions, or treatments — they buy confidence, relief, and quality of life. 🧠 The Psychology of Selling Health & Wellness Terri breaks down: Why people buy emotionally and justify logically How insecurity, confidence, and self-image drive purchasing decisions Why discovery calls are everything — and where most coaches fail How to ask better questions to uncover what clients really want 🎯 Niches, Avatars, and Why "Helping Everyone" Hurts Your Business A powerful discussion on: Why "I help everyone" leads to weak messaging and poor compliance How to define your ideal client avatar "Riches are in the niches" — and how to identify yours The importance of brand clarity, website messaging, and social proof 💰 Pricing, Value, and Why Health Coaches Undercharge Terri shares her framework for pricing programs correctly: Why most coaches price emotionally instead of mathematically Understanding time, labor, cost of goods, and gross profit Why anything under 50% gross margin is a red flag How premium pricing actually improves client compliance and outcomes Cheap programs attract uncommitted clients.

In this in-depth conversation, we welcome back Mickie Kennedy, founder of eReleases, to break down how strategic press releases are still one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for business growth.

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.
