Let’s be real—most podcasts flop because they sound like a boring sales pitch wrapped in a snooze-fest. Said no one ever: “Wow, I loved that generic podcast with zero connection.”
In this episode, I sit down with Cheryl Plof—media strategist, brand visibility expert, and someone who actually gets it. We break down what it really takes to grow your podcast and business without faking it, selling out, or burning out.
This isn’t a tutorial on chasing followers. It’s about real human connection, relationship marketing, and using your podcast to build trust, brand awareness, and business results.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just growth strategies that actually work.
