So, this coming Thursday, the 30th of July 2020. I am hosting a live masterclass on how to leverage podcasts for business growth and I am so flippin excited about it. This is truly the culmination of the past years of experience I have had in podcasting in helping folks leveraged podcasts for business growth both as a podcast guests and also as podcasters. It is the most impactful session I've ever done, and I am so high flying Right now, I'm actually recording this as I am putting some of the finishing touches on the lesson plan, because honestly, it is the most fired up I have ever been in sharing about podcasts. And it's going to be some serious truth talk. So before I go any further, I do not want to forget, let me give you the web address for you to go and enroll. Now it is free.

We're gonna go through how to successfully leverage podcasts for business growth. And we're gonna do it in a way that has never been done before. This is real doc from me to you. And it may be the thing that literally changes your life. I know that sounds a little bit crazy. But this seriously could be the thing. So you've probably heard these ad spots for my program called meaningful mentorship. And maybe you've gone to the page and you've seen coming soon, there's nothing there. That's because it's taken a little bit longer than expected to really dial in what the meaningful mentorship program is, but I am going to unveil it at the end of the master class this Thursday, the 30th of July 2020 So that's why, if it is a fit for you, you will not want to miss this masterclass. And you will want to make sure you get the replay and watch it within 24 hours if you're not there live. But here's what we're going to cover during the session. We're going to talk about first and foremost, the power of podcasts for business growth. So a lot of people already are aware of the power of podcasts, because you listen to podcasts. Maybe you have a podcast, maybe you've been a guest on podcasts. Maybe you've been thinking about podcasts, maybe you haven't. But in any case,

we're going to really talk about what podcasts can do for your business growth. And this includes podcasting where you have your own podcast. This includes Podcast Guesting where you get featured as the expert on other people's podcasts, and podcast sponsorship, where you support a podcast that has your ideal buyers listening to it already to generate interest in revenue in what you have to offer. The podcast medium has been exploding. And we actually have, in the last 90 days, added over 320,000 new podcasts to the Apple podcast directory in just the last 90 days. Amazing like unbelievable, right? it's mind blowing. it's mind blowing what's going on in the industry. And in fact, Spotify has already invested around $500 million into podcasting and they are not the only ones. In fact, I don't know if you've seen my post I posted about this on Instagram and Facebook story I don't know maybe a week or so ago maybe a little bit more about Michelle Obama's new podcast. Literally every thought leader out there. If they don't already have a podcast they are creating podcasts. So, this is a medium that is no longer. A nice to have pleased to be aware of this is a must have for business growth. However, having a podcast and jumping in may not be your best solution, but we will get to that in the masterclass. We're going to go through the power of podcasts for business growth. We're going to look at why most people fail to get the results from podcasting or Podcast Guesting that they want because the truth is, most of the podcasts out there, do not make money, do not get the results that they want. This is Behind the Scenes talk, because most podcasts will tell you, oh, we're doing so well. Oh, we're so fantastic. Oh, we're getting all these downloads. But the truth of the matter is that I would say, at least based on my personal interactions and conversations with podcasters, over the past four to five years, I would say that probably around 96% of podcasters are not actually satisfied with the results they're getting. They're actually struggling. They're not getting the downloads that they want. They're not getting the list building that they want. They're not getting the relationships they want. They're not getting the money. And there are a number of reasons why but we're going to focus in in this masterclass on the most common Reasons why podcasters and also podcast, guests do not make money from their podcast or from their guest exposure. And then we're going to get into how to multiply your revenue through podcasts. So we want to make sure that if you are going to have a podcast, or if you are going to be a guest on podcasts, or if you're going to sponsor a podcast, that you have a high return on investment, because if you're not getting a positive return on your investment, you would probably have more fun setting your money on fire. People pour so much time, money, energy and resources into using podcasts to grow their business, yet very few of them actually grow their business. With podcasts, so I'm going to share with you exactly what

to do to ensure that you have a positive ROI from your efforts, who so excited about this? During the masterclass, I'm also going to be sharing some of my clients stories around what they accomplished. And, as mentioned, let you know about my new offering, which is called meaningful mentorship. It is the culmination of everything I've done over the decades of my life. And just to give you a little hint about the meaningful mentorship program, and one of the reasons I am so flippin excited about it, is because it serves folks at every single level of business growth. Within my community, so everyone from those just starting out who actually haven't made a penny yet, and are still trying to figure it out all the way through those with multi million dollar companies and mid market enterprises. So, so, so juicy. I hope that you will join me. I hope that you are excited to learn about truly how to leverage podcasts to grow your business. Again, this is a real talk session there is absolutely no fluff. I'm going to be sharing things I've never shared before, all together and in this fashion. Please don't miss it. If you have a business or you have the desire to have a business, if you have a podcast if you think you might want to have a podcast if you have been Podcast Guesting if you haven't started Podcast Guesting doesn't matter.
