Have you been pitching to guest on podcasts but only getting crickets in return?

After 7 years of hosting two podcasts and receiving hundreds of pitches, I've seen exactly why some guests get an instant yes… and why others get an instant delete.


And it's rarely the reason people think.

In this episode, I'm sharing the real reasons pitches get ignored - the behind-the-scenes truths most hosts never actually say out loud - and the small shifts that make a huge difference.

Before we dive into that, I'm also talking about two visibility moments from the past couple of weeks that pushed me right out of my comfort zone:


• the vulnerable Instagram post I nearly didn't share

• and my first paid keynote to a room of senior leaders

… and what both reminded me about showing up even when it feels a bit scary. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

- what hosts are actually looking for (it's not what you think)


- the sneaky red flags that make a pitch an automatic no


- how to make your pitch stand out before you've even written a word


- the simple way to get invited back again and again

If you want to start landing podcast guest spots - and doing it in a way that feels generous and human - this episode will show you how. Listen now and discover what really makes a podcast host say "yes".
