What Hosting Taught a CEO That Guesting Never Did
Christopher Swing has been a guest on plenty of podcasts. He says hosting his own taught him more than all of them. As a guest, you repeat what you already know.

He talks about why he started it, how he built his guest list, why season one stalled, and what he's changing for season two. Want your show handled

Your Podcast Isn't Getting You Found. Here's How One Founder Fixed It
Six months into his podcast, ChatGPT was calling Wes Towers a leading expert in his industry. He didn't get there by recording more. He got there by what he does after every episode. Wes runs Uplift 360, a digital agency for trades and construction brands, and hosts Built. Trusted. Chosen. His buyers are on the road all day, listening between job sites.

Your Podcast Isn't Bringing In Clients. Here's How One Founder Turned Hers Into a Networking Engine Instead
She wrote a check with a comma in it every month for six months, and the podcast still wasn't paying for itself. Aubrey Fitzloff runs an independent insurance agency in South Carolina. Last year a marketing firm pitched her a podcast as a funnel into the parts of the Carolinas she can't drive to, lined up about 40 recordings in a 60 day sprint, and sent an invoice every month. At six months and more than $20,000 in, she had to make a call. She let them go. Want your show handled so it can a...

Your Podcast Isn't Marketing — It's Proof You Have to Send (The Middle-of-Funnel Fix)
You published it. Now you are waiting. That is the mistake. Josh Troche has watched hundreds of business owners start podcasts, and he says the B2B version of hope is putting an episode out into the air and assuming clients will come find it. They do not. The founders who get business out of a show do something almost nobody does: they pick a person, and they send them an episode.
