Sick to death of the advice to "Get on podcasts to get your message out there?"

Me too.

It's not even close to the best reason to be a guest on lots of shows. So today, show regular Rachel Allen is back in the studio to help me remind you of the many, wonderful things being booked on a show can do for you and your business.
