Getting on podcasts that you want is easier said than done.

It’s not just sending out an email or reaching out through social media…

You have to be intentional, personable, and be able to provide value to a show’s audience while also letting your expertise shine through...

And being a great guest isn’t just about turning up and answering the host’s questions.

Today on the podcast, I am joined by Kristin Molenaar, CEO of YesBoss, a digital agency that helps service-based business owners book podcast features for leads.

We unpack ideas like how to pitch to become a guest, why it isn’t necessary to be on every social media platform to reach people, and why niching is especially important to gain a raving podcast audience.
