PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader, It has taken me a little longer than expected to recover from FinCon. I came home and immediately hit the ground running with two packed weeks of networking, follow-up calls, proposals, and introductions. I also managed to accidentally make myself sick from overdoing it, which ❌ I do not recommend as a business development strategy. But, I have accomplished a TON during these couple of push weeks, so there's that. I finally discovered what my...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! Next week is a big one for financial content creators and podcasters. FinCon is happening in Palm Springs, and Podcast Movement is happening in New York City. Very different rooms, very different energy, and both are worth understanding if you are using content to build trust, create visibility, and grow a business. If you are a financial professional with a podcast, YouTube channel, blog, newsletter, or even a half-formed content idea you...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! How many business resources are you paying for, subscribed to, downloading, bookmarking, or “meaning to get back to” without actually using them? I say this with zero judgment because I am absolutely included in this conversation. As business owners, we have access to an almost absurd amount of information. Podcasts. YouTube channels. AI tools. Paid communities. Continuing education. Industry blogs. Service provider directories. Templates....

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! Do you have a brutally honest 12-year-old in your life? Maybe you should. My daughter has been helping me gather information from contacts’ websites and LinkedIn profiles so we can organize everything into a spreadsheet. She has not yet mastered the art of being a silent office mate, so I hear the full commentary while she works 🤣 Sometimes it is positive. “Oh, interesting.” “Nice. Easy. They had everything.” And sometimes it is much more...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! If you have ever looked at your podcast downloads and thought, “Is this actually working?” you are not alone. But downloads are only one piece of the picture. For a business podcast, especially one created by a financial professional like you, ROI often shows up in less obvious ways first: warmer referrals, better-fit prospects, stronger trust before the first meeting, smarter content ideas, and conversations that move faster because someone...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! Here's my bold statement for the week: Most business podcasts look DIY. Sometimes, the host has no idea. 😢 While the content is great and you can FEEL their expertise in every word, the show's entire look and sound tells a different story. Poor lighting. Awkward cuts. Odd screen changes. Generic AI edits. One-sentence show notes. A YouTube channel that looks more like a storage folder of recordings than a professional media presence. None of...

PODCAST SERVICES ACADEMY YOUTUBE EVENTS Hi Reader! I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between being “well-networked” and being genuinely useful to the people in your network. Because those are not the same thing. You can know a lot of people, attend plenty of events, collect business cards, send LinkedIn requests, and still not have much actual relationship momentum. The real value shows up when you become the person who remembers what someone is working on, shares the right...
