Are People Binging Your Podcast… or Just Sampling It?


Hi Reader!

I’m in disbelief, but… summer is basically here.

“Maycember” is in full swing over here—end-of-year parties, field day, performances, graduation events, soccer practices, games… and somehow we’re also supposed to be registering for summer camps, leagues, and classes at the same time 😅

It’s chaos.

But honestly?

I love having things to look forward to, and I really love watching my kids do cool stuff. This summer we’re adding tumbling and Jujitsu to the mix, which should be fun.

It’s busy, a little overwhelming, and I’m choosing to cherish it—because I know how fast this season goes.

Alright, let’s get into it 👇


🎧 New Episode: Becoming Bingeworthy

Yesterday’s episode of Podcasting for Financial Professionals is live—and this one’s a big one.

How do you make your podcast something people don’t just sample… but actually binge?

Most new listeners pop in for one episode, maybe two.
Very few podcasts create the kind of experience where listeners stick around, go deeper, and build real trust.

Learn what actually makes a show bingeable

and how that translates into stronger authority, deeper connection, and ultimately, better clients.


📣 Webinar: Attract Premium Clients with Your Podcast (May 20)

I’m hosting this live training again on May 20th:

"How to Use Podcasting to Attract Premium Clients"

If your podcast is “good”… but not really doing anything for your business yet—this is for you.

Even if you feel like you already know the basics, these sessions tend to spark:

  • small tweaks that make a big difference
  • reminders of what actually matters
  • and a clearer path forward

And if you want to make it even more powerful…

Invite a friend and hold each other accountable after.

📚 Book recs, please!

I’m curating a list of the best podcasting books out there—and I want your recommendations.

What’s the best one you’ve read?

Reply and send me:

  • a link
  • a photo
  • a post you’ve shared about it
  • or just the title

I’m looking for the real standouts—the ones that actually changed how you think or operate. No gatekeeping here!


This time of year always reminds me that things can feel overwhelming and meaningful at the same time.

Your calendar is full. Your attention is split.
And yet… this is these are the moments that matter.

Same goes for your podcast.

It's okay if you feel *crazed* on the surface, if your schedule is a little nuts, if you can't remember what you recorded last time...as long as there's a strategy (and a bit of fun) underneath it all.

When your show is intentional - with topics, CTAs, messaging, and guests - it starts to work with you, contributing to the business, instead of feeling like one more thing to manage.

Cheering you on this week—busy schedule and all 💛

Cheers 🥂

P.S.

If your podcast isn’t quite where you want it to be yet, that’s exactly what we fix inside the Podcast Conversion Lab™.

We align your message, structure, and strategy so your show actually supports lead generation and client growth.

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! Summer is fully underway over here, and with my husband out of town this week, I’ve been bouncing between chauffeur, snack coordinator, garden tender, dog manager, and business owner with impressive intensity. There is something oddly peaceful about being the only adult managing the moving pieces, though. When there is no one else to coordinate with, there is also no one else to wait on. You just say, “I’ve got this,” and then you really do...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! The kids are home, my teacher-husband is home, and we are all adjusting to a very different pace. Instead of letting the days become a blur of snacks, screens, and “what are we doing today?” conversations, we each created a simple goal-oriented daily structure that includes brain work, body work, mental wellness, chores, downtime, and plenty of flexibility. So now I have a few new workout buddies, which is both fun and slightly humbling. I’m...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! I'm feeling behind...almost anxious, like there's SO much I should have already checked off the list. Can you tell? I did not send a newsletter last week, and I’ll be honest: I felt terrible about it. Did you miss me? Nah, you probably didn't even notice! Here's what I want you to absorb: Most people do not notice our minor inconsistencies nearly as much as we do. Your audience is not sitting there with a clipboard tracking whether you missed...
