You've spent eight episodes learning how to build a podcast that supports your business. Now, I want to share a little more about the person who's been guiding you through the process.

My path to becoming a podcast strategist wasn't exactly a straight line. It took me from working as an operating room nurse to running a travel agency, and eventually into the world of podcast editing, production, and launch strategy.

In this bonus episode of Your Podcast Launch Plan, I'm sharing the story behind my business, what I've learned from working with podcast creators, and why I believe a successful podcast starts with a strategy.

Before I started helping entrepreneurs launch podcasts, I had a completely different career. And the experiences that brought me here have shaped the way I think about podcasting today.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

• How I went from operating room nursing to entrepreneurship
• What led me from running a travel agency into podcast production
• How my work evolved from podcast editing into launch strategy
• Why I developed my Found, Launched & Heard approach
• What I want entrepreneurs to understand before starting a podcast for their business

Ready to Bring Your Podcast to Life?

If you've been following along with Your Podcast Launch Plan, you already know there's a lot more to launching a podcast than recording your first episode.

That's exactly why I created my Found, Launched & Heard approach.

I help entrepreneurs make the strategic decisions behind their podcasts, create a launch plan that supports their business goals, and bring their shows to life.

If you're ready for help turning your podcast idea into something real, I'd love to talk about what that could look like for your business.

EPISODE 08

You've thought about your podcast strategy, your ideal listeners, your content, and how you'll get your show in front of the right people.

So what's keeping you from actually launching?

It's easy to spend months researching microphones, tweaking your podcast artwork, and planning episodes without ever getting closer to publishing your show.

In the final episode of Your Podcast Launch Plan, we're talking about how to move past endless preparation, make the decisions that matter, and turn your podcast idea into a real launch.

Planning your podcast is important, but eventually you have to move from making decisions to taking action.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

• Why podcast planning can turn into productive procrastination
• How to recognize when you're preparing instead of making progress
• Which decisions need to be made before you launch
• Why choosing a realistic launch date matters
• How to move forward without waiting for everything to feel perfect

Your Next Move

It's time to choose your podcast launch date.

Look at what you've already completed and what still needs to happen before your first episodes can go live.

Choose a realistic date that gives you enough time to finish the essential work without leaving your launch open-ended.

Then write down the next three actions you need to take to move toward that date.

Your podcast doesn't need another six months of planning. It needs a plan you're ready to put into action.

EPISODE 07

You've spent time planning your podcast, choosing your topics, and preparing your episodes. But have you thought about how people are actually going to hear about your show?

Your podcast launch strategy shouldn't begin the day your first episodes go live.

In this episode of Your Podcast Launch Plan, we're talking about how to build anticipation before launch day, get the right people excited about your podcast, and create a launch plan that gives your show an audience to welcome from day one.

A successful podcast launch takes more than publishing your first episodes and hoping people find them. The conversations and connections you create before launch day can make a difference in how your podcast gets started.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

• Why your podcast launch strategy needs to start before launch day
• How to build anticipation and give people a reason to listen
• Why your existing relationships can be an important part of your launch
• How to create your own 100 Person Pod Party
• Why you shouldn't rely on guests to promote your podcast for you

Your Next Move

Start creating your own 100 Person Pod Party.

Think about the people in your existing network who might be interested in your podcast or willing to help you spread the word.

Start a list of people you could personally invite to listen when your podcast launches.

You don't need to contact everyone today. For now, focus on identifying the people you want to include and how you'll invite them to be part of your launch.
