38. How to Be an Amazing Podcast Guest (and Actually Grow Your Audience!)
If you’ve got podcast guesting on your strategy list for 2025, this episode is your golden ticket. I’m diving into exactly how to show up as an effective podcast guest, grab attention, and make a lasting impact. Whether you’re trying to grow your audience, build your brand, or just avoid wasting everyone’s time (yours and the host’s), I’ve got you covered.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why podcast guesting isn’t just “showing up”: You need a strategy, and I’ll help you craft one.
- How to avoid common mistakes: No one wants to hear your whole life story. I’ll teach you to keep it relevant and captivating.
- The power of your unique angle: What makes you stand out? Let’s identify that and use it to your advantage.
- How to respect the host and their audience: This is key to building your reputation and being invited back.
Key Takeaways:
Come with a Goal: Whether you’re building your email list, promoting a new offer, or driving traffic to your podcast, know what you want to achieve.
Tell a Story That Matters: Focus on your line-in-the-sand moments. These are the pivotal, relatable experiences that connect with the audience.
Be Professional: Your sound, your setup, and your prep work reflect your brand. Don’t be the guest who shows up unprepared or with bad audio.
Keep It Interesting: People care about how your story helps them. Highlight the impactful parts, and skip the boring details.
Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t expect to nail it on day one. Reps are essential to refine your message and delivery.
