How Podcasting Builds Professional Credibility and Grows Your Business with Adam Adams

If you want to become a recognised voice in your industry, attract more speaking opportunities, and generate consistent leads, podcasting remains one of the most powerful tools available -- when it's done right.

Adam Adams is the host of The Podcast on Podcasting and the founder of Grow Your Show, where he and his team help professionals successfully launch podcasts and build real audiences. He knows what separates the shows that grow from the ones that quietly disappear after twelve episodes.

This conversation is essential listening for any speaker, coach, or expert who is either thinking about starting a podcast or wondering why their existing show isn't gaining traction.

What you'll learn in this episode

The right way to start a podcast and why most people get it badly wrong, why ready-fire-aim kills shows before they have a chance to find an audience, what a proper podcast launch plan actually looks like, how to get more listeners without sacrificing quality, whether you should start as a guest or a host, the single best call to action you can use on a podcast, and how podcasting can become a genuine lead generation engine for your business.
