    255 How a Podcast Builds Authority (And Why It's More Than Just Content)

    Most podcasters measure success by downloads. But downloads don't always equal authority. Besides, there are so many better ways to build your authority with a podcast. In this episode, I break down exactly how a podcast builds authority and why your show is far more than just content for a feed. If you're treating your podcast like weekly content instead of strategic infrastructure for your business, you're leaving authority on the table. Here's what we cover: Why your podcast is a container for your thought leadership How interviewing experts positions you as a peer How consistent publishing strengthens your authority online (yes, with search engines and AI answer engines too) Why hearing your voice accelerates trust with potential clients, fast How podcasting forces clarity around what you stand for And how podcast listeners convert faster than cold prospects Authority isn't built by publishing more. It's built by consistently sharing your ideas as they develop, documenting your perspective, and letting people experience how you think. When done right, your podcast becomes infrastructure. It houses your thought leadership. It strengthens your positioning. It builds trust long before a sales call ever happens. If you want your podcast to amplify your authority instead of just publishing episodes, book a free private podcast coaching call with me.

    The Podcaster's Ultimate Guide to Co-Hosting a Podcast

    Should you have a podcast co-host? I break down when co-hosting works, when it doesn't, and how to structure a co-host dynamic that actually serves the listener. Co-hosted podcasts can bring energy, contrast, and momentum. They can also drift, drag, or quietly frustrate listeners when roles aren't clear. And that can be the death of a perfectly good podcast. As a podcast coach, I see it all the time. In this episode, I walk you through what makes a strong co-host dynamic work and why most co-hosting problems aren't just about chemistry; they're about strategy. I cover how to define clear roles, why one person needs to "drive the bus," how to avoid talking over each other, and how contrast between hosts can actually make your show more engaging... when it's intentional. I also share real examples from radio and podcast coaching, including how separate prep keeps conversations alive and why some shows never quite find their rhythm. If you're already co-hosting, thinking about adding a co-host, or quietly wondering if your show really needs two voices, this episode will help you make that call with clarity.

    How to Build an Efficient Podcast Production Process That Saves Time

    Podcasting takes time. Usually more time than you expect. If your show feels like a lot of work with very little return, the problem probably isn't your commitment. It's your production process. I see this all the time as a podcast coach. Podcasters reacting week to week instead of working from a repeatable system. Scrambling for topics. Recording whenever there's a free moment. Editing on the fly. Publishing late. Promoting inconsistently. It's common, but it's also the fastest way to burn out before your podcast ever pays off. In this episode, I break down why efficiency matters more than hustle when it comes to podcasting for your business. Not because podcasting should be easy, but because narrowing the gap between effort and return is the only way to stay consistent long enough to see results. You'll hear what actually makes a podcast production process efficient, what most podcasters are missing, and how a clear structure, intentional batching, and a documented workflow can dramatically reduce the time and energy cost of your show. This isn't about cutting corners. It's about building a process that supports consistency, quality, and long-term momentum. If you're just starting out, efficiency helps you build the right habits from day one. If you're already podcasting and wondering why the return doesn't match the effort, this episode will help you see where things are breaking down. If you want help tightening up your production process or figuring out how to get it right from day one, book a free private podcast coaching call.

    How to Start a Podcast for Your Business in 2026 Without Wasting Time or Money

    If you're starting a podcast for your business, this is the episode that can save you months of frustration and wasted effort. Most entrepreneurs think starting a podcast is about gear, platforms, and hitting record. That's not where podcasts succeed or fail. The real work happens before any of that, and it's the part most new podcasters skip. In this episode, I break down what actually needs to be clear before you ever name your show, plan an episode, or buy a microphone. We're talking about intention, audience clarity, show structure, performance, production, and marketing, and how all of it needs to work together if your podcast is meant to support your business. I walk you through: Why a podcast without a defined role in your business almost always stalls How trying to speak to "everyone" quietly kills momentum What creative structure really means for a business podcast Why sound quality and performance still matter more than people want to admit How consistency and production systems keep podcasts alive long term Why publishing and marketing come after strategy, not before If you're thinking about starting a podcast for your business, or you're early in the process and want to make sure you're not getting it wrong, this episode will help you see the full picture before you move forward.

    Your Podcast Mic Is Probably the Problem (Here's Why)

    Your podcast audio is quietly killing your authority. If your mic isn't set up properly, listeners won't trust you long enough to hear your message. BTW, you might be using your mic wrong without realizing it, so hit play.   If your podcast audio sounds off, your authority takes a hit before you even get a chance to make your point. I've said this for years, as a podcast coach with over 250 episodes, and I'll say it again: how you sound matters. Poor mic technique doesn't come across as "authentic" or "scrappy." It signals a lack of professionalism, and listeners make that judgment fast. In this episode, I break down why bad audio costs you trust, why there's no excuse for it anymore, and the single most important fix you can make today to sound more credible instantly. I walk you through how microphones actually work, why so many podcasters point them the wrong way, and the simple visual that will change how you record forever. This is the quickest win you'll ever get in podcasting. No new gear. No fancy tools. Just better mic awareness and cleaner audio going in. If you want to know whether your podcast is supporting your business or quietly working against it, grab my free podcast audit. It's a step-by-step process that shows you where authority leaks happen and what to fix first so your podcast actually does its job of generating leads and sales. 👉 Get the free podcast audit here: https://podcastperformancecoach.com/free-podcast-audit/   EPISODES MENTIONED: My YOUTUBE video on Mic Placement Another YOUTUBE Video on Mic Placement 001 Podcast Mic Placement 020 Shit In is Shit Out 042 Getting the Most From Your Podcast Mic 134 Is Your Lack of Mic Awareness Putting Your Podcast in Danger? 157 Want a Better Sounding Podcast?

    Proven Results: Two Case Studies That Show How Podcasting Generates Sales

    Get the free Podcast Audit video training: https://podcastperformancecoach.com/free-podcast-audit/ Authority and sales get a whole lot easier when your podcast does the heavy lifting for you.  Here are two real case studies that show how an intentional podcast can make you referable, generate qualified leads, and help clients pre-convert long before we ever get on a call. These case studies walk through what actually happens when your show is aligned with your business goals, your message is clear, and your content speaks directly to your ideal listener. You'll hear how one client's podcast led to a referral, three quick binge-listens, a booked call, and a same-day sale because the podcast built trust before they ever met. I also break down how consistency and clarity helped someone find me through a simple Google search, listen to three short episodes, check my website, and feel confident enough to book a sales call immediately. The podcast did the heavy lifting. The call was a formality. Then I walk you through what "podcasting with intention" actually means: • knowing the role your show plays in your marketing • speaking clearly to your ideal client • aligning your artwork, promise, and content • making the path from listener to lead obvious • reinforcing your authority across your ecosystem If you're not sure whether your podcast is built to attract clients and build authority the way these case studies show, I've got a tool that will help you assess it.
