If you want to, like, talk through this and kind of brainstorm with somebody, you can always message me on Instagram at podcasting for educators, and we can kind of bounce some ideas around if you need somebody to just be a sound board for you. One thing is for sure, if you have guests on your show, I think that three big things that you need are, number one, the systems in place to bring on. Guests and schedule guests without feeling overwhelmed. Number two, you need a system for encouraging guests to share the episode that they were on. And number three, you need a plan to bring on guests that will benefit your audience but still position you as an authority. So we're going to talk more about those things, specifically about systems that you need to have in place. In next week's episode, I'm going to walk you through some specific systems that I want you to have set up for guests, from the time that they book to the interview to after the interview. This was a short and sweet episode, but I think I got across what I wanted to and I'm looking forward to continuing this conversation next week. Thanks so much for listening to today's episode. To keep this conversation going, connect with me on Instagram at podcasting for educators. I'm always looking for an excuse to talk about podcasting.
