When I ask you that question, who comes to mind? My guess is that it's someone with a huge following who seems impossible to reach, right? I've got some news for you. It's not impossible— even if you have a smaller audience.  I know someone who is SO good at pitching podcast guests that they were able to get their two dream guests to be the FIRST two interviews on their show. Her name is Ina Coveney. She's a podcaster, public speaker, coach, lead generation expert, and she's this week's GTS podcast guest. Today, Ina is going to teach us how she landed HUGE names as guests on her podcast without having a massive audience or a ton of fame beforehand.  After listening to this episode, you're going to realize that you don't have to wait to invite your dream guests onto your podcast. You're going to learn how to make any cold pitch into a warm pitch, and by doing so, you'll be able to land any dream podcast guest, any time you want.

Want to grow your podcast on YouTube? ⁠⁠Apply to the Grow The Show YouTube Accelerator Beta Cohort⁠⁠, Launching July 14th 2025 Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- Let's be honest. Using Social media effectively as a podcast is HARD. For something that is SUPPOSED to be secondary and complimentary to your podcast, it oftentimes eats up all of your time and attention! So, what are you supposed to do? How can you leverage social media to ENHANCE your podcast, and connect with your audience, WITHOUT having it suck up your time and destroy sanity? Today on Grow The Show, we are talking about what NOT to do on social media. To help us do this, we've invited Arielle Nissenblatt onto the show to share her wisdom. Arielle is the creator of the Earbuds Podcast Collective, the community manager at Squadcast, the cohost of the Sounds Profitable Ad Tech Applied Podcast, and a well-known podcast influencer. Today, Arielle is going to share how social media has carried her to podcast success. You'll learn how a lot of that success comes from what she DOESN'T do on social media, how those things are what most podcasters are doing, and how you can stop doing those things and start doing the RIGHT things, right now. ------ Subscribe to the Grow The Show YouTube Channel!
