How podcasting for business can attract clients leads, new speaking opportunities and position you as the leading authority in your industry

When you have your own business, standing out in a crowded marketplace can feel a bit overwhelming at times. There are many different strategies, some of them massively time-consuming, so how do you decide if adding podcasting for business is the right path for you?

When I started my podcast, I had no idea how powerful it would be for my business. Today, Amplify Your Success Podcast is in the top 1.5% of podcasts worldwide and I get messages frequently from people who listen and share that it’s their favorite podcast. 

But is that enough to justify all of the hard work and significant investment in hosting a weekly show? I decided to dedicate this episode to finding out.

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 280 I’m joined by four of my friends and fellow podcasters, Jennifer Henczel, Kimmy Seltzer, Tiphany Kane, and Michelle Abraham. These ladies are part of the all-star line up speaking at Podfest in the Women In Podcasting Track. I asked them to share how podcasting for business has positively impacted their business, lives, confidence and even their connection with our community. 

Join us in the Amplify Your Authority FREE Facebook Group to learn more strategies to stop being a best-kept secret and stand out as an industry go-to authority.
