LIVE Podcast Coaching: From podcast to paying clients w/Rod Brinson

Update: 2025-10-02

Description

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? That’s exactly where brand strategist and host of Beyond the Brand Podcast, Rod Brinson, was stuck when he came to me. A podcast that’s supposed to grow your business shouldn’t feel like a part-time job with no payoff.

In this live coaching session, you’ll hear Rod and I work through the practical questions every podcaster wrestles with. We talk about how to find clarity in your format, the 4 P’s that shape every show, why shorter episodes may be smarter, and how to set your podcast up as a business asset instead of a time drain.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

How to set a clear podcast purpose
The 4 P’s framework for podcast strategy
Why talking to one person changes everything
When to choose solo vs guest episodes
How short podcast episodes can build authority
Why consistency matters more than perfection
The role of seasons and batch recording
How to turn listeners into paying clients

Rod walked away with a plan - and so will you. Which piece hits you hardest: purpose, person, premise, or promise? DM me on Instagram and let’s compare notes.
