It is no secret that content is king when it comes to marketing. Advisors looking for ways to reach and engage clients should consider starting a podcast. Podcasting is an intimate medium, providing advisors with the opportunity to connect with existing clients and build relationships with prospective clients. Podcasting is also a great way for advisors to position themselves as thought leaders in the industry.

[24:32] - "What you're really trying to do as a host or creator of a show is develop the habit that a listener will keep coming back because they like the experience of being a listener and they'll subscribe to your thing and they'll keep coming back on a regular basis." - David Ledgerwood
