Why do some podcast listeners become clients, while others listen for months and never take the next step?

In this episode, I talk about the seven buyer types hiding in your podcast audience and how different listeners make decisions in different ways. You’ll learn why creating random episodes leads to stalled growth and how a strategic mix of episodes helps move listeners from content to clients.

This episode is for established business owners who want their podcast to support sales, not just deliver value. You’ll walk away with a new way to think about podcast content as part of a larger podcast-first funnel.
