The Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast

Special Guest Willie Blake https://coachwillieblake.com/freegift In this episode of Profits Unleashed, I dive into a conversation that hits close to home for so many of us: the belief that we’re “behind.” My guest, Coach Willie Blake—a dyslexic career and high-performance coach—shares his journey of transforming self-doubt into confidence and clarity, and why it’s never too late to start. His story is proof that progress doesn’t come from comparing yourself to others—it comes from taking small, consistent steps toward your goals. Key Takeaways I want you to hear today: Willie’s personal story is inspiring. Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, he spent years feeling “behind” his peers. Instead of giving up, he reframed his challenges into fuel for growth. By leaning into tools like audiobooks and coaching, he went from struggling to read a single book to consistently absorbing 60 books a year. That shift didn’t just expand his knowledge—it helped him step into his calling as a coach who empowers neurodivergent entrepreneurs and professionals to see their unique edge as an advantage. What stood out to me most is Willie’s perspective on labels. When we say “I am this,” we box ourselves in. But when we shift to “I have this,” we reclaim power. That subtle language shift opens the door for growth, self-compassion, and change. If you’ve ever felt stuck, compared yourself to others, or believed you were too far behind to start—this conversation is for you. You can connect with Willie at coachwillieblake.com, where he shares resources, coaching opportunities, and his podcast. And stay tuned—after the break, I’ll be debunking the myth that it’s too late to start your own podcast. Spoiler: it’s not.

After listening to my conversation with Coach Willie Blake, I couldn’t help but notice how often we fall into the trap of thinking we’re behind just because we compare ourselves to those further along. And the truth? You’re not behind—you simply haven’t started yet. Key Takeaways from this episode: Here’s the reality: there are around 5 million podcasts worldwide, but fewer than 20% are actively producing new episodes. That means the space isn’t oversaturated—it’s full of abandoned shows. Consistency, not timing, is what separates the ones that thrive from the ones that disappear. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: 90% of podcasts don’t make it past three episodes, and of the ones that do, most never get past 20. That’s not discouraging—it’s an opportunity. If you commit to showing up, you’re already ahead of the majority. Podcasting is still growing, audiences are expanding, and new listeners are tuning in every day. They’re not just searching for big names; they’re searching for voices that resonate with their unique struggles, interests, and goals. That could be you. Just like Willie’s story reminded us, your challenges don’t disqualify you—they can become your strength. Whether you’re navigating dyslexia, ADHD, or simply the doubts that whisper “you’re too late,” the moment you start and stay consistent, you’ve already set yourself apart. I’m grateful every day that I kept going, that I didn’t stop when it felt tough, and that I get to share this platform with you. Your story deserves to be heard, and the world is waiting for it.

Special Guest Kyle Mealy https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/revenue-cascade If you’ve ever wondered why your business feels stuck — despite working hard on your marketing or your sales — this episode is for you. This week, I sat down with Kyle Andrews, CEO and Founder of Next Level Revenue and author of The Next Level Revenue Formula. Kyle has a fascinating journey from lab manager, to karate school owner, to leading a multimillion-dollar marketing and sales company. What ties it all together? His obsession with process, data, and creating predictable results. Here are my key takeaways from our conversation: In this episode, Kyle shares the exact frameworks he’s created to help businesses remove the silos between sales and marketing, measure ROI with clarity, and build systems that don’t just generate leads but actually convert them. His story proves that when you bring curiosity, creativity, and a little “MacGyver” thinking to business growth, the results are revolutionary. If you’re ready to stop treating sales and marketing as separate worlds and finally align your business around predictable, profitable revenue — this conversation will change the way you think. https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-mealy/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/next-level-revenue Your Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free

Special Guest: Jake Falcon catalina@falconwealthadvisors.com Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show where I empower coaches and consultants to use podcasting as a way to grow influence, attract clients, and share their message with those who need it most. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jake Falcon, founder of Falcon Wealth Advisors, who brings over 20 years of experience in financial services. Jake is on a mission to enhance financial literacy and help people take control of their financial future, especially as they approach retirement. What struck me most in our conversation is how little financial education most of us receive. As Jake shared, many people—even multimillionaires—struggle with fear and uncertainty around retirement simply because they don’t know how to manage their wealth to generate income for the long term. His passion for solving this problem came from two things: a childhood fascination with money (sparked by a video game called Wall Street Kid!) and a deep love for helping people create confidence and clarity around their finances. We also talked about his Signature Planning Process, a two-step, highly personalized approach he uses with clients to uncover their true goals, address financial “pain points,” and build a flexible, ongoing plan that evolves with life’s changes. Here are my key takeaways from this conversation: Jake also shared his book, Retiring Right: Smart Steps for Exiting Corporate America, and explained why enhancing financial literacy drives everything he does. This was a fascinating, inspiring conversation about money, purpose, and the power of getting your message out there. Your Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free

I’m your host, Karen Roberts, and today’s conversation is one I know will shift the way you think about investing, selling, and even the mistakes we’ve all made along the way. Key Takeaways from This Episode: In this episode, I sit down with Joel Friedland, a seasoned real estate investor with over 40 years of experience. Joel takes us back to 1981, when interest rates were a shocking 17% and he was just starting out in industrial real estate. What struck me most is how he owned up to the mistakes he made early in his career—talking more than listening, pitching instead of consulting—and how those lessons transformed the way he does business today. Joel walks us through his evolution from traditional broker to debt-free syndicator, sharing stories of working with family-run businesses, massive industrial clients, and investors who trusted him enough to join deals worth millions. What makes this episode truly powerful is Joel’s candor about the challenges he’s faced and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild stronger than ever. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t get into commercial real estate” or wondered how to truly connect with people in any business, this conversation will change your perspective. 👉 To connect with Joel, visit BritProperties.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-friedland-5508a791/ https://www.youtube.com/@investingwithjoel/featured 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite app. And don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share the show with a fellow entrepreneur who needs to hear this!

He’s a powerhouse in the world of credibility and social selling, and he doesn’t hold back in this conversation. We dive deep into how coaches, consultants, and thought leaders can ditch the slimy sales tactics and use LinkedIn and podcasting to grow their business with authenticity. Mitchell reminds us that visibility without trust is just noise. The real magic happens when you build relationships, create micro-commitments, and lead people into genuine conversations.

Special Guest Ryan Gottfredson https://ryangottfredson.com/personal-mindset-assessment In this thought-provoking episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with leadership coach, author, and researcher Dr. Ryan Gottfredson—whose work has deeply reshaped how I view personal and professional growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like something is holding you back (even if everything looks successful on the outside), this episode is for you. We dive into the groundbreaking science of personal transformation—not focused on what you need to do, but who you need to be. Ryan makes a powerful case for being-based leadership, explaining that true, sustainable success begins by upgrading your internal operating system—the beliefs, mindsets, and emotional wiring running your life behind the scenes. 💡 Key Takeaways: Ryan walks us through his 3-step framework for internal transformation: We also explore the concept of vertical development and how most people (and even leaders) stay stuck at the base level—focused on safety, comfort, and belonging. The real magic happens when we move beyond personal gain to contribution and legacy. This conversation left me both inspired and challenged—and I think it will do the same for you. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur, this episode is your invitation to stop doing more—and start becoming more. 🎧 Tune in and let's grow together.

Special Guest Robert Matzkin www.Robmatzkin.com In this powerhouse episode of Profits Unleashed, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and business strategist Rob Matkin—founder of over 16 companies and a man who’s had multiple successful exits. This conversation is a masterclass in scaling with clarity, courage, and focus—even when life throws you curveballs. Rob opens up about his journey, from struggling with dyslexia to turning it into a superpower that shaped his leadership style and resilience. What started as a simple favor—giving a friend advice—quickly evolved into his purpose: helping entrepreneurs grow businesses that are both scalable and sustainable. We dive deep into the traps many founders fall into, especially the infamous Superman Syndrome, and how trying to do everything yourself can be the biggest bottleneck in your business. Rob gets real about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—from co-founders to investors—and why you should never build a business alone again. One of my biggest takeaways? Scaling doesn’t have to feel chaotic. Rob breaks down his ladder-based strategy for sustainable growth, starting with a detailed business audit across seven core areas and moving upward, one step at a time. It’s all about clarity, intentionality, and momentum. We also explore the emotional side of scaling—those moments when fear creeps in, whether it’s hiring your first team member, fulfilling a massive order, or preparing to raise capital. Rob shares how founders can move past that fear and become truly investable by focusing on their team, their coachability, and their execution. Key Takeaways from This Episode: I learned that doing everything myself isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a bottleneck. Building with the right co-founder and support team changes everything. Scaling is a process, not a leap—it’s one rung at a time. Investors care more about execution and coachability than just a flashy pitch. My fear is valid, but it shouldn’t drive the strategy. 🎧 And don’t miss my Tool of the Week, where I’ll share a game-changing resource for podcasters to streamline their production process! SOLO SECTION This week, I sat down with an extraordinary guest—Rob Matzkin, a serial entrepreneur who has founded over 16 companies and achieved multiple successful exits. Rob isn’t just a business strategist—he’s a true visionary who knows what it takes to scale, lead, and build companies that thrive, even in the face of serious adversity. We dive deep into how to scale your business with clarity, courage, and focus, and Rob doesn’t hold back. From turning his dyslexia into a superpower to breaking free of the "Superman Syndrome" that traps so many founders, Rob’s story is both inspiring and actionable. 🔑 Key Takeaways I Loved: We also explore what makes a business investable, how Rob structures his onboarding strategy sessions, and how he turned a simple conversation with a friend into a lifelong calling to help others scale. Plus, at the end of the episode, I share my Tool of the Week—a podcasting lifesaver that simplifies editing, content creation, and repurposing: Descript.

Special guest Shannon Russell Giveaways https://startyoursecondact.com In this empowering episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with career transition and business coach Shannon Russell—also the brilliant author of Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life. Shannon’s story is one of courage, clarity, and conscious change. After 16 successful years in the television industry, she made the bold decision to pivot into entrepreneurship, launching a franchise that gave her more time with her family—and more personal fulfillment. We dove deep into the realities women face when trying to leave careers that no longer serve them, especially during midlife or motherhood. Shannon shares the most common fears her clients experience and how she helps them overcome analysis paralysis and self-doubt by aligning their passion, skills, and values using the UMAP career assessment. What stood out to me is Shannon’s emphasis on research and realism. She reminds us that not every business idea is a good fit—especially if it conflicts with your lifestyle goals. I loved hearing her examples of how diving into the “day-to-day” of a business idea helps people avoid burnout before it begins. We also discussed the dangers of diving into entrepreneurship without a clear plan—a mistake she sees far too often, especially among expats and creatives looking for a quick escape from their current path. Shannon’s structured, tailored approach to coaching is a breath of fresh air. She helps her clients build businesses around their lives—not the other way around. Her message is clear: you can start a second act filled with purpose, but success begins with strategy, self-awareness, and support. 🎧 Key Takeaways: Whether you're craving more purpose or simply curious about your next move, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, informed, and ready to take aligned action. SOLO SECTION "Podcasting Powerups: 3 Pro Tips for Consistent, Confident Episodes" Host: Karen Roberts This week on Podcast Profits Unleashed, I’m flying solo and bringing you something I know will save your sanity: three podcasting lessons I learned the hard way—so you don’t have to. Let’s face it: podcasting has a lot of moving parts. From tech glitches to last-minute guest cancellations, things will go wrong. But with the right systems in place, those hiccups don’t have to throw you off your game. Here’s what I dive into: ✅ Pre-Flight Check Ritual Oh yes—I once forgot to press record on a stellar interview. It hurt. But now I never start without a two-minute pre-flight checklist. I run through mic setup, software, backups, and internet stability—just like a pilot. This one simple habit saves me from tech nightmares and awkward redo requests. ✅ Batch Record Solo Episodes Life happens. Guests cancel. Kids get sick. Your voice disappears. That’s why I batch solo episodes monthly, so I’ve always got content in the bank. Treat these as your secret weapon—quick, valuable, and 100% in your control. It’s how I stay consistent even when things go sideways behind the scenes. ✅ Follow Up Like a Pro Don’t assume your guest will promote your episode. They won’t—unless you make it easy. I always book a follow-up, send promo packs with ready-made content from their perspective, and make sure they feel like the star they are. That’s how we turn great interviews into lasting collaborations. 🔥 Key Takeaways: These little powerups have made my podcast sustainable, professional, and profitable. Feeling overwhelmed with all the moving parts? Watch my free on-demand workshop, Your Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint, at podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free, and book your complimentary strategy call. Let’s take the pressure off and build your show the smart way. Until next week, keep podcasting like a pro.

Special Guest Carly Pepin https://www.westcoastgrowthadvisors.com/podcast-gift In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Carly Pepin—an extraordinary business strategist and mindset expert—who helps founders and C-suite teams scale their companies not just with numbers, but with heart, purpose, and clarity. What stood out most in our conversation was Carly’s view that business is not just a money-making vehicle—it’s a personal development journey. I couldn’t agree more. She works primarily with leaders in construction, hospitality, and manufacturing, helping them navigate growth by aligning strategic frameworks with powerful psychological insights. We talked in depth about her comprehensive approach, which focuses on four core areas: cash, strategy, execution, and people. But the game-changer? Carly brings in the lens of psychology. She explains how emotional equilibrium—the constant dance between pride and shame—can drive or derail a company’s success. When leaders understand this, they can make better decisions, stay grounded, and build stronger teams. One of my favorite moments was when Carly shared how culture isn’t just about values on a wall—it’s about recognizing those values in action. I loved her example of a Polaroid wall showcasing team wins. These small practices create real emotional alignment and reinforce a sense of purpose. We also explored why many businesses stall. Often, it’s not about cash flow—it’s about misaligned vision, unclear strategy, or unaddressed mindset blocks like imposter syndrome. Carly’s method digs deep to reveal the real obstacles, not just the surface-level symptoms. Key Takeaways from My Conversation with Carly: 💬 Curious what's really holding your business back? Carly offers a free business diagnosis call to help leaders identify root issues.

Special Guest Nadja Fromm www.fromm-consulting.com In this episode of The Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with Nadja Fromm, a seasoned marketing coach and former global brand strategist for household names like Colgate, Kraft Heinz, and Weber. Nadja shares her powerful journey from corporate burnout to building her own business where she helps driven misfits and corporate escapees launch bold, profitable startups. We unpack the real reasons so many startups never get off the ground—and it’s not lack of passion. It’s the absence of strategy. Nadja breaks down her signature three-step process that every aspiring entrepreneur needs: ✅ Define Your Ideal Client Profile (ICP) – Know exactly who you're serving, their urgent problems, and whether they can invest in your solution. ✅ Craft a Clear & Irresistible Offer – Tailor your product or service so that it speaks directly to your dream client. ✅ Develop Messaging That Converts – Communicate in a way that makes your ideal client say, “Finally, someone gets me.” I couldn’t help but relate—if only I had this clarity when I was starting out, I would’ve saved myself a lot of time (and headaches!). We also tackled one of the biggest entrepreneurial traps: perfectionism disguised as procrastination. Nadja reminds us that action beats perfection every time. Stop waiting to feel "ready." You don’t need to master every business function. Just focus on your zone of genius and bring in expert help where needed. The most powerful insight? Shifting from employee mindset to entrepreneur mindset. In corporate life, we’re trained to wait for permission. But in entrepreneurship, no one’s coming. It’s up to us to trust our gut and take the leap. If you’re tired of the Monday-to-Friday misery loop and know you’re made for more, Nadja’s message is your wake-up call. 📲 Connect with Nadja on LinkedIn and book a free discovery call—whether you work together or not, the conversation could be the nudge you need. 👉 Up next: I’ll dive into Podcast SEO—Yes or No? and why “build it and they will come” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Don’t miss it! I’m back! And today, I’m diving into a topic most podcasters completely overlook—Podcast SEO—and why ignoring it could be the reason your amazing content is still hidden in the shadows. Let’s be honest, if no one can find your podcast, then no one’s listening. And that is not okay. So in this episode, I break down the essentials of how to make your podcast discoverable—on platforms like Apple, Spotify, and even Google—without feeling like you need to become an SEO expert overnight. Think of podcast platforms as search engines. That little search bar? It’s pure gold when used correctly. So, I walk you through three easy strategies to help your show get seen and heard. 🔑 Key Takeaways: ✨ Bonus Tip: Transcripts aren’t just for accessibility—they’re SEO magic. I use Descript, but there are plenty of tools that make this easy and impactful. If podcast SEO sounds overwhelming, I’ve got you.

Special Guest: Faisal Ensaun In this powerful episode of Empower and Podcasting, I sit down with high-performance coach and entrepreneur Faisal Ensaun to uncover why 90% of coaches fail to launch podcasts that actually generate ROI—and how emotional mastery is at the heart of entrepreneurial success. Faisal shares his moving personal story of transformation, from surviving a war-torn country and grappling with emotional trauma and addiction after immigrating to Canada, to completely rebuilding his life through self-development, psychology, and coaching. His journey is a testament to what’s possible when we take full ownership of our challenges and commit to deep, lasting change. We dive into why emotions like anxiety aren’t our enemies—they’re powerful sources of energy when we learn to channel them with intention. Faisal challenges the modern culture of self-diagnosis and victimhood, showing how true growth comes from responsibility, self-awareness, and mastering our own minds. Together, we reflect on the critical skills often missing in traditional education—emotional intelligence, relationship building, and financial literacy—all essential for a fulfilling, successful life. Key takeaways from our conversation: Faisal shares how, for years, he didn’t ask for help simply because he didn’t realize he needed it. His message is clear: the sooner we seek support, the sooner we can heal, grow, and positively impact not just our lives, but those around us for generations to come. This conversation will leave you inspired to take radical ownership of your journey and equipped with insights that go far beyond podcasting success—it’s about mastering life itself. Why 90% of coaches fail to launch a podcast That gets an ROI. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the truth most people won't tell you about podcasting. Key takeaways? If you’ve ever dreamed of launching a podcast that builds your brand and drives revenue, you need to hear this. I break down the real reason why 90% of coaches quit after three episodes—and why only 1% ever see true ROI. Spoiler alert: it's not about talent or hard work. It's about strategy and emotional resilience. I get real about the four biggest mistakes that even heart-driven, passionate coaches make when they step into podcasting: I also share the shifts that changed everything for me—how I moved from confusion to clarity, from random content to strategic episodes that serve my audience and my business goals.

In this powerful solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the reverse podcasting framework — the strategy that completely transformed my business and how I show up online. Let me tell you, I spent two years doing it the hard way — recording episodes with no real plan, chasing downloads, and feeling totally burnt out. But once I flipped the script, everything changed. This isn’t about going viral. This is about using your podcast as a strategic business development tool — to connect, convert, and grow. If you’re a 6-figure coach with a proven offer and zero time for content, this is your blueprint. This framework starts with your end goal, then works backwards to make every episode intentional, relational, and profitable. 💡 Here’s what I break down in this episode: Podcasting isn’t about creating more content—it’s about building real relationships and turning your voice into a client-attracting machine.

Special Guest: Blair Dunkley Free Gift Link to 3 E’s Freebie with Master Class https://go.mindmodelmentor.com/3e-gift Free Link to Join The Blair Dunkley Experience https://go.rewiringthemind.com/weekly-webinar The free Zoom Call for BDE Members https://zoom.us/j/94569615338 In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with Blair Dunkley, the brilliant mind behind the Mind Model Method. His journey is nothing short of extraordinary—after witnessing his father fall into a 14-year coma, Blair began questioning traditional mindset training. He realized that just "believing more" wasn't enough to create real change, so he developed Mind Models, a scientifically backed system that has helped people achieve breakthroughs with an impressive 80% success rate. Blair breaks down why so many people remain stuck: they focus on finding answers rather than becoming resourceful problem-solvers. He shares how Mind Models train individuals to think more effectively, allowing them to unlock solutions instead of chasing fixed answers. One of the biggest surprises? Blair challenges the common belief that knowing your "why" is the key to success. Instead, he reveals how clinging to your "why" can actually keep you stuck in the past. The real game-changer, he explains, is learning to ask the right questions that drive momentum forward. If you’ve ever felt like traditional mindset advice wasn’t working for you, this episode is a must-listen. Blair’s insights will help you shift the way you approach challenges, making success feel more achievable than ever. Key Takeaways: ✔️ Belief alone isn’t enough—structured thinking is the key to breakthroughs. ✔️ Stop searching for answers—instead, train your mind to become a resourceful problem-solver. ✔️ Your “why” might be holding you back—learning to ask the right questions is far more powerful. ✔️ Mind Models boast an 80% success rate—proven strategies lead to real transformation. 🎧 Tune in now to discover how to rewire your thinking and unlock your full potential! In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I dive into one of the most crucial mindset shifts you need if you want to use podcasting to grow your business: playing the long game. We all love quick wins, but podcasting isn’t about instant gratification—it’s about long-term growth and impact. If you're looking for overnight success, this may not be the platform for you. But if you’re willing to commit, stay consistent, and trust the process, the results will come. Key Takeaways: ✔️ Podcasting is a marathon, not a sprint. Growth happens over time as you consistently show up and provide value. Trust takes time to build, and your audience needs to get to know you before they fully engage. ✔️ Focus on relationships, not quick sales. A podcast isn’t just another sales funnel—it’s a trust-building tool. Listeners connect with authenticity, not constant pitches. Show up as yourself, share stories, and offer value. That’s what leads to long-term success. ✔️ Consistency compounds over time. The more episodes you release, the more searchable and discoverable you become. Even if it feels slow at first, your content library will grow, and so will your audience. ✔️ Setbacks are normal—keep going! Downloads will fluctuate, engagement may feel low at times, and there will be moments of doubt. Every podcaster experiences this. But the ones who succeed are the ones who stick with it. ✔️ Podcasting works best as part of a bigger strategy. It’s not a standalone tool—it amplifies everything else you’re doing. When integrated with social media, email marketing, and sales funnels, it becomes a powerful business asset. 🎙️ Thinking about starting a podcast but feeling overwhelmed?

Special Guest: Brandon Lebowitz Free gift: https://seooptimizers.com/gift In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with Brandon Lebowitz, the founder of SEO Optimizers, to dive deep into how coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs can harness the power of SEO to increase visibility, drive traffic, and convert leads into paying clients. Brandon shares his journey into the world of SEO, starting in 2007, and breaks down why Google prioritizes trust, relevance, and high-quality content. We explore the importance of optimizing website text, structuring your content for search engines, and leveraging backlinks—a crucial factor in building credibility with Google. He warns against the pitfalls of buying backlinks and instead provides ethical, organic strategies to build them through guest blogging, podcast interviews, and local directories. If you’re looking to boost your website’s ranking and get found by your dream clients, this episode is packed with practical insights! Key Takeaways: ✅ SEO is essential for coaches & podcasters – Your audience needs to find you online! ✅ Google prioritizes trust & quality – Have clear contact info, privacy policies, and an optimized About page. ✅ Backlinks build credibility – Get them through interviews, guest blogs, and reputable directories. ✅ SEO isn’t just for websites – Using transcripts, optimized show notes, and backlinks can increase your podcast’s visibility in search engines. ✅ Avoid black-hat SEO tactics – Buying backlinks can do more harm than good! If you’re struggling to get your podcast and coaching business in front of the right audience, this episode will give you actionable strategies to elevate your online presence and attract more leads. In this solo episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I share one of the most powerful strategies coaches can use to magnetize their ideal clients—targeted storytelling. Podcasting is an incredible space to show up as your authentic self, but to truly connect with your audience, it’s not enough to just tell any story. The key is to focus on a specific pain point that your dream client is struggling with—whether it’s imposter syndrome, pricing fears, or client retention challenges. When I craft stories that highlight these struggles and share real transformations—either from my own journey or my clients’ experiences—I create an emotional connection that makes listeners feel seen and understood. That’s what turns a passive listener into an engaged client. Instead of just stating my expertise, I show my audience what’s possible. I tell stories like the time I undercharged for my services, felt stuck, and then shifted my mindset—resulting in higher rates and more aligned clients. These types of stories don’t just entertain; they provide a lifeline for listeners who are stuck in that same moment of struggle. Key Takeaways: ✅ Pick one pain point – Focus on a real struggle your ideal client faces. ✅ Share a transformation story – Make it personal and relatable so listeners see themselves in your journey. ✅ End with a simple call to action – Offer the next logical step for listeners to work with you. When storytelling is done right, it creates an instant bond. Your audience stops scrolling, starts listening, and sees YOU as the coach they need.

I’ll help you craft and deliver stories that stick. 🎙 📌 Book a Power Hour: https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/power-hour Tune in now, and let’s turn your podcast into a client magnet!

Special Guest: Cliff Nonnenmacher Visit my website: http://franocity.com/ In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with Cliff Nonnenmacher, a seasoned entrepreneur and former investment banker, to break down the essential framework for evaluating and investing in franchises. Cliff shares how he and his business partner turned struggling businesses around by applying structured discipline, financial strategy, and a clear decision-making process. We discuss the common mistakes many aspiring business owners make—like letting emotions drive investment decisions instead of focusing on financial viability. Cliff explains why passion alone isn’t enough and how financial discipline plays a critical role in long-term success. He introduces a step-by-step framework to assess business opportunities and ensure they align with personal financial goals. One key takeaway? Franchising is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

We also explore five thriving franchise categories that are resistant to AI disruption and e-commerce competition: Cliff also addresses the biggest roadblock to franchise ownership—fear.

Special Guest: Joey Drollshagen In this powerful episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with business coach Joey Drollshagen, a media-savvy expert who’s been featured on Fox, NBC, and CBS. Joey opens up about his transformative journey, from growing up in a tough blue-collar family in Detroit to finding success by shifting his mindset through subconscious programming. He reveals how overcoming childhood struggles and years of trial and error led him to discover the life-changing power of subconscious mindset training (SMT), which completely reshaped both his personal and professional life. As a coach today, Joey helps business owners and corporate sales leaders unlock their potential by identifying the subconscious programming that holds them back. He teaches his clients to break free from limiting beliefs and design personalized systems that align with their true selves, rather than following generic strategies. He emphasizes that success is unique to each individual, and the key to rapid growth lies in creating accelerated, personalized habits. Joey explains how societal conditioning, especially regarding money and hard work, often holds people back. By breaking through these patterns, people can step into new opportunities that better align with their strengths and passions. He stresses the importance of embracing your individuality and forging a path that’s true to your own vision for success. In this episode, Joey also discusses how limiting beliefs, particularly the “glass ceiling” mentality, can restrict business growth, and shares advice on how to challenge these self-imposed barriers. He offers insights on the discomfort of stepping outside your comfort zone and how it’s essential for growth. His SMT method is a game changer for anyone looking to break through mental limitations and unlock their full potential. Key takeaways: Don’t miss this inspiring conversation that will help you tap into your true potential and achieve success on your own terms. Welcome back to Podcast Profits Unleashed! In today’s episode, I’m sharing my three powerful tips on how I turn podcast guests into high-ticket clients without ever using a hard sales pitch. It’s all about building genuine connections, not selling, and I’m going to show you exactly how you can do this too, in a way that feels effortless, authentic, and truly adds value. First, pre-qualify your guests as potential clients. It’s crucial to be intentional about who you invite onto your podcast. Think of it like hosting a dinner party—you wouldn’t just invite anyone off the street, right? Your podcast guests should align with your ideal client profile. Do a bit of research beforehand to see if their challenges and goals match what you can help with. This isn’t about being exclusive; it’s about being effective. Next, build a real relationship. During the interview, forget about selling and focus on genuinely getting to know your guest. Ask open-ended questions, dig deeper into their story, and really listen. The magic happens when your guest feels comfortable enough to open up about their struggles. The goal is to plant seeds—not solve everything right then and there. The more they trust you, the more likely they’ll remember how you made them feel, which is far more important than any advice you offer in the moment. Finally, offer a follow-up, not a pitch. After the interview, don’t just send a generic thank-you email. Instead, extend the conversation with a genuine offer to help, without any strings attached. Simply say something like, “I loved our conversation today, and I’ve been thinking about what you shared. I have a few ideas—would you be open to a call to discuss them further?” This shifts the conversation from a sales pitch to a collaborative discussion, where you can truly offer value. Key Takeaways: By following these steps, you’ll turn your podcast into a business growth tool. It’s not manipulation—it’s alignment, collaboration, and trust....
