In addition to being the founder of Podcast Principles, I’m a podcast coach.

It’s a new (but sometimes necessary) service that aims towards educating and informing clients on how this relatively new media works – how to manage a podcast, run it week in, week and most importantly: how to make it successful.

In this short excerpt from my conversation with Matt Farnsworth, I give a little insight into what I do for my clients and how a podcast coach can help you make your project a reality.

One of the biggest advantages that having a podcast (or even video content) brings is it's ability to build "parasocial relationships".

Similar to the affection you may feel for Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence or Pedro Pascal -- this ability to get close to your audience *without even being there* is the main value-add that I'm exploring in this episode.

As usual, I'm keeping this short and sweet - so at least tune in to get a better understanding of this dynamic and how it can save you time and effort - if you have an personal brand or an online business.
