Quotes

“If you have an active podcast, you have to start from level one. Who is my podcast for? What is the problem that they have? What is my solution and what does success look like for them? What does their life look like after they've gone through my solution? What do you do? The more clarity you can get on those four points, the more attractive your show is gonna be to the right person. The more attractive your offers are going to be to that person.” (09:58 - 10:51)

“We wanna try new things, we want to be curious, we want to innovate. And then through those steps, you're gonna start to see breadcrumbs and you're gonna start to figure things out.” (13:30 - 13:50)

“So, that's really, I think, an important facet of your podcast, of your business as a whole is getting that clarity.” (13:50 - 13:58)

“So now I need to find solutions. So developing solutions that speak to that challenge that that person has is really important.” (20:05 - 20:26)

“If you're creating a show without solving a problem, what's the point? It could be education, it could be entertainment, it could be comedy, it could be true crime stories. But understanding the solutions and the problem that your audience has is really key.” (24:03 - 24:27)
