I’m going to guess that you didn’t start your podcast just to have more content. You started it to support your business. But if your show feels like extra work instead of a strategic asset, this episode will shift how you think about podcasting completely.
In this episode, I’m explaining the core reason most podcasts don’t lead to clients: every episode is treated the same. Instead, I’ll show you how giving your episodes roles (not just topics) turns your podcast into a system that moves listeners toward your offers.
You’ll hear:
Why publishing “helpful” content isn’t enough
The difference between episode topics vs. episode roles
The 4 episode types that create a real listener journey
How small podcasts can generate clients without massive downloads
If you want your podcast to function as a true marketing system and not just another platform to keep up with, this is where it starts.
