@thecashflowshow Good point 😂

@ScenesandSonics @s7evendaysageek My apologies! It's somewhere to find new listeners. Podcast guesting for example :)

Want to take a podcast break for the holidays? Republish an old episode that did well. Most listeners won't have listened to the whole back catalog. Week off for you, normal week for your audience.

@thecashflowshow Very true! But I'd say appearing on 80 podcasts would be one step closer to becoming your own "Seth Godin" :)

One episode - one call to action If you ask your audience to do five things, they won't do anything. One clear ask per episode.
