Episode notes

Tell me if this sounds familiar...

→ You publish at least one new podcast episode every week without fail... but you’re still getting less than 1000 downloads per episode (despite doing literally everything the experts say you need to do to grow your show)

→ People tell you they love your podcast but no one has left a review on your show in the last 30 days

→ You check your analytics dashboard every week but haven't seen a significant increase in downloads or listens in the last three months

→ Even though you know the content you share in every episode is highly valuable, only one or two listeners have ever reached out asking how to work with you

If you're like, UM YES THIS IS ME, then you've probably also been told that that podcasting is a long game and that you just need to stay consistent and give it more time.

But have you ever asked yourself why it's not working? ... there's a reason why.

And after helping over 95% of our clients break the Top 100 in their categories, we've found it's often because your podcast is missing something called a "core differentiator" . Or in other words, a way of communicating to your listener why your show is the one they need to listen to.

We both know you're here to add real value and make meaningful change in people's lives. So to save you 4+ years of figuring this out the hard way like I did, I recorded this episode for you. :)
Ready to learn how to fix it so you can reach more people who need to hear your message? Hit play and let's make your business bingeworthy.
