    114. Podcast Strategy for CEOs Who Want Real Results with Megan Dougherty

    I used to think podcast success was all about downloads… growing an audience… maybe even landing sponsors one day. But this conversation completely shifted how I see podcast strategy. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Megan Dougherty, and we’re breaking down what it really looks like to create a podcast that supports your business—not just your visibility. Megan shares how she built her career in podcasting (without even planning to), and how that led her to develop a powerful framework for designing podcasts with purpose. We talk about why so many podcasts sound great but don’t actually move the business forward, how to define the real role your show should play, and how to stop wasting time on things your podcast doesn’t even need. One of the biggest takeaways? Your podcast doesn’t need to follow someone else’s rules—it needs a clear strategy and a specific job. So if you’ve ever wondered whether your podcast is really working, or how to make it work smarter, this episode will give you a whole new lens on podcast strategy and what it means to build with intention. // Visit Megan's Agency: https://onestonecreative.net/Get a FREE COPY of Megan's Book: Podcasting for Business: How to Create a Show That Makes a Bottom Line Difference For Your Company📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Ready to go all-in?

    113. Why We Need More Women Podcasters — And How You Can Support Them

    In this special Women’s History Month episode of Soul Podcasting Collective, I’m reflecting on something that’s been on my mind after more than two decades behind the mic: women make up about half of podcast listeners, yet far fewer are hosting the shows that shape the conversation. In this shorter episode, I explore what the research says about women in podcasting, why representation still matters, and how each of us — whether we’re creators or listeners — can intentionally support women’s voices in this space. I also highlight a few inspiring women who are building meaningful impact in the podcasting world and share why their work matters for the future of this medium. This episode is part of Podcasthon, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts come together for one week to spotlight charities. I’m honored to feature 51&, an organization working to transform women’s healthcare systems and ensure women are heard, supported, and represented. If you care about the future of podcasting — and the stories we choose to amplify — this episode is for you. // 📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Ready to go all-in?

    112. Podcasting Monetization: How to Monetize a Podcast Without Feeling Salesy

    In this episode of Soul Podcasting Collective, I’m diving into one of the most asked questions in the creator space: how to monetize a podcast without damaging the trust you’ve built with your audience. Podcasting monetization doesn’t have to feel awkward, pushy, or sales-driven. In fact, when it’s done strategically, it can strengthen your message and support the work you’re already doing. I’m sharing real insights from my own podcasting journey — including lessons learned from promotions that didn’t land and the alignment strategies that did. If you’ve been wondering how to monetize a podcast in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and audience-centered, this episode will help you rethink podcasting monetization and approach it with clarity and confidence. // 📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!

    111. Podcast Guests: How to Attract and Connect With the Right Ones

    Not all podcast guests are created equal. The right guest can elevate your podcast in powerful ways. They bring fresh perspective, credibility, and stories that deepen the conversation for your audience. But the wrong guest? They can leave an episode feeling flat — and cost you hours of editing and energy. In this episode of Soul Podcasting Collective, Demetria shares what she’s learned after two decades of podcasting about how to attract, invite, and prepare the right podcast guests. From choosing alignment over popularity to crafting thoughtful outreach messages, you’ll learn how to build interviews that feel meaningful, engaging, and strategic for your show. You’ll also hear practical tips on where to find podcast guests, how to prepare for conversations that go deeper than surface-level interviews, and why a strong podcast foundation matters before you begin booking guests. If you want your interviews to feel alive — and create real impact for your listeners — this episode will help you rethink your guest strategy. //Referenced in the episode: episode 98-Hustle Won't Grow Your Podcast- Discernment Will- https://soulpodcasting.com/podcasting-without-hustle/ // 📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!

    109. Build a Podcast That Fits Your Life (Not the Other Way Around)

    In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned after more than a decade behind the mic: your podcast should serve your life, not consume it. I open up about the seasons when I was exhausted, overcommitted, and quietly wondering if “consistency” was costing me too much — and how I eventually redesigned my workflow, boundaries, and recording rhythm to protect my energy and creativity. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to keep up with your show, this conversation will help you build a podcast that feels sustainable, strategic, and aligned with the life you actually want to live. /// 📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!
