The Podcasting Advantage – with Deborah Blackman

Are you thinking about starting a podcast but don’t know where to begin?

Worried you need expensive gear or a big audience to make it work? Think again.

In this episode, I’m joined by Deborah Blackman—podcasting mentor, business strategist, and the woman some are calling “the Oprah of Podcasting.” We talk about how podcasting can grow your confidence, elevate your authority, and unlock real sales conversations—even if you’ve never hit record before.

We dive into:

• Why podcasting is the most human, trust-building form of marketing
  

• How Deborah turned trauma and introversion into her superpower on air
  

• What to do if you’re worried about tech, time, or talking on camera
  

• The smart way to use your podcast as a sales funnel (without being salesy)
  

• Why video podcasts are exploding—and how to get started today
  

• How one of Deborah’s students landed 30 guest appearances… at 80 years old!
