Hitting 'publish' on your podcast is one thing, but launching a podcast? It's the difference between your show being virtually invisible to listeners or popping off on the charts and grabbing the attention of your perfect listeners worldwide. But while plenty talk about podcasting's benefits for business growth, few provide a proven strategy for launching a podcast that dominates the charts with bingeworthy content that turns listeners into clients.

That’s why I invited full-time business owner and new podcaster Rachel Provan to join me in this episode, so you can see how strategically launching a podcast...

→ is now reaching people in over 20+ countries and 1300+ cities around the world

→ is growing 10x faster than the average podcast at a rate of 500+ downloads/week
