We are discussing a timely topic and one that is near and dear to my heart. This episode centers around how we can uncomplicate being an entrepreneur and coach through being a guest on podcasts. Besides being fun, appearing on podcasts is another great way to create value and increase our visibility in front of our target audience. Join us to learn more!

Kristin Molenaar is an entrepreneur-enthusiast who lives by the mantra, “Work less + Make more.” She enjoys helping entrepreneurs ditch vanity metrics for true, profitable connections. As the CEO of YesBoss, a podcast booking agency that helps entrepreneurs elevate their visibility and credibility, Kristin helps them scale their businesses without becoming full-time marketers.

Show Highlights:

● The unfolding of Kristin’s entrepreneur journey with its failures and successes to get where she is today

● Why the most successful root of podcast guesting is connecting with people

● The misconceptions and true facts about podcast guesting

● Why Kristin refers to podcast guesting as “networking on steroids”

● What Kristin wants people to know about branching out into podcast guesting:

○ Find them: In asking for podcast appearances, figure out how you can add the most value to the podcast’s audience. (Kristin explains how to craft your talking points and bio.)

○ Pitch them: Find podcasts that are aligned with your message. (Kristin explains her gold nugget research strategy, “follow the influencer path.”)

○ Keep them: Look for additional collaboration opportunities with the host. (Kristin explains several ways to continue to nurture the relationship and provide value for the podcast host.)

● What Kristin means by “vanity metrics” in your business: attracting, attracting, attracting in business without nurturing, selling, and retaining

● Kristin’s advice: “Don’t overlook the impact you can have as a podcast guest, even on newer podcasts. Bigger isn’t always better; more connected is better.”

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That’s https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you. I’m enrolling coaches now for my Spring Mentoring Program. Some are here for credentialing hours. Others are here because they want to become the coach their clients rave about. Inside the program, we work on your actual coaching. You’ll hear yourself differently. Learn from other coaches. Develop more presence. And ask questions that create real transformation. If you’re ready to deepen your skills and your impact, I’d love to support you.
