For years I thought the goal of a podcast was listeners. More downloads. More subscribers. More reach. And don't get me wrong... I love seeing the numbers grow. But eventually I realized something important: Listeners aren't the goal. Conversations are. Because listeners can love your show and never take another step. They can listen every week and never join your community. Never subscribe. Never become a client. Never even tell you they're there. What changed everything for me was connecting my podcast to the rest of my ecosystem. Over the last 30 days I've welcomed: 💜 470 new Substack subscribers 💜 100 new community members 💜 15 new paying clients Not because I suddenly got more downloads. (I've had over 1.1 million of them) Because I got better at creating a path for listeners who wanted more. That's the part nobody talks about. The podcast isn't the destination. It's the beginning of the relationship. The real question isn't: "How do I get more listeners?" The real question is: "What do I want my podcast to do for my business?" 💜 Attract clients? 💙 Build community? 💜 Sell products? 💙 Create partnerships? Because each of those requires a different strategy. That's exactly why I'm hosting the Podcast Profit Path Finder Challenge.

So many people pass through! We get to know so many incredible humans and then after a couple days/weeks/months they’re gone!🥹😩 How many people are still here and enjoying their experience?! Post in the comments if you’re here with us still!💪🙏 And hey, if you’re not enjoying your experience… why not? Let us know!❤️

In January 2025 we had to say goodbye to our pup Cody🐶 Cody boy was an American XL bully and was the best boy in the world. Goofy, loving, protective and most of all… Keevas best friend. We said goodbye to him a few days after his first birthday due to him having incurable cancer💔 In the time that keeva knew Cody, they became the bestest of friends. Keeva knew Cody before she could talk and I believe that the year she spent with him was one of her most important years of her life so far as she was taking in so much and learning to adapt from being a toddler into being a kid. Keeva and Cody formed an extremely strong bond and would do everything together… I know people say this all the time about their dogs but they truly were the bestest of friends. When Cody died we couldn’t explain to Keeva what had happened as she wouldn’t have understood. Over a year later and she still cries for Cody almost every single night. 💔 We told keeva when he died that he had gone to play with his friends in the sky, whenever she sees an aeroplane or the moon she shouts up to them and thinks it’s Cody. Guys… what do we do? How do you explain to a four and a half year old that she’s never going to see him again? It’s heart wrenching. Do we carry on saying that one day we will all see him again and give her false hope? Or do we try to explain to her about what happened? I just do not know what to do… I’m so sorry this isn’t a happy post and I’m so sorry we have brought you into this but we truly need advice. Any respectful and honest advice would go a long way. Thank you so much guys.❤️
