Instagram post 2186782591202225332_4216562637 As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, I want to take a moment to share how grateful I am...⁠
⁠
For the opportunity to live in a time and a place where I have the freedom to work the way I do, setting my own hours and creating a business I enjoy.⁠
⁠
For the clients I am able to support and the ways I've been able to see their businesses grow, and also the way I've grown with them.⁠
⁠
For my husband who constantly supports my dreams, which often include crazy ideas and trips away from home.⁠
⁠
For all that I've learned running my own business, starting my own podcast, participating in paid programs with mentors and from conversations with biz besties.⁠
⁠
Most of all, I'm grateful for my relationship with God, because without his love and grace, I would definitely not be where I am today.⁠
⁠
I'd love to hear what you are grateful for, friends! Tell me below.⁠

Instagram post 2156156468920129200_4216562637 I love working from home and serving my clients, but there’s nothing quite like being in person with other amazing women business owners.

Grateful for this week in Texas and for my amazing friend and client @theopsauthority for the opportunity to be here.

Thanks for this awesome pic 📸@maileknight
Instagram post 2126971819156547377_4216562637 We convince ourselves that we'll start later.⁠
⁠
We tell ourselves that someone else has already done it.⁠
⁠
We figure that we'll get stuck on the tech or the content or the recording.⁠
⁠
So, we don't pursue that podcast idea.⁠
⁠
But... what if you said yes?⁠
⁠
What if you said yes to yourself, and to your idea? What if your podcast could make a difference for the people who need to hear it?⁠
⁠
And what if you COULD get through the tech and the planning and the practical stuff because you have a guide who has laid it out, step-by-step for you?⁠
⁠
What if by December or January you could see your podcast listed in Apple with your first episodes live and reviews from your perfect listeners?⁠
⁠
It is possible, and I can help you. Today is the last day to apply for Podcast Propel, and we start the program on Tuesday!⁠
⁠
Head over to podcastpropel.com (or link in bio) and apply by Friday at 8pm Eastern!⁠

Instagram post 2126277240407890424_4216562637 Have you met my friend Natalie, host of the Ops Authority Podcast (@theopsauthority)?⁠
⁠
Natalie delayed starting her podcast for 6 months. But once she started, she did so with a solid strategy and plan in place for how it would help grow her business.⁠
⁠
She participated in Podcast Propel even though she's one of my 1:1 clients. She loved having access to the Facebook group where she could get feedback from the members, some of whom were her ideal listeners.⁠
⁠
And when she launched her podcast at the end of July, she saw almost immediate results! Within a month, she received 2 paid speaking opportunities because of one specific podcast episode.⁠
⁠
If you have a podcast, what kinds of opportunities have opened up because of it for you?⁠
⁠
And if you don't have a podcast yet, but you're considering starting, head over to podcastpropel.com and apply before applications close on Friday!⁠

Instagram post 2123649961350151530_4216562637 🎤 tap, tap, tap, is this on?? 🎧⁠
⁠
You've had this podcast idea for a while now... maybe longer than you care to admit. It's time to take that idea from concept to reality.⁠
⁠
It's time to commit to launching that podcast, and Podcast Propel will help you grow your audience, increase your impact, and generate more income.⁠
⁠
📍 Here's what my students are saying:⁠
⁠
"After going through the program, I feel confident that I'll be able to rock every part of my podcast launch--from planning to the technology to the launch itself. Thank you for such a comprehensive program!" - Abby Herman⁠
⁠
"Podcast Propel is an EXCELLENT way to get a 360 degree practical education to make you a podcast superstar. Esther is a very engaging and thorough coach, leading you through the various areas needed for a good launch and a successful podcast. " - Marion Syverson⁠
⁠
"It's great to put your VA through so they can launch your podcast for you-which is what I did! Ours turned out AMAZING!" - Esther Inman⁠
⁠
"If I hadn't done the program and had the resources and had the plan, I could have delayed forever... one episode alone has brought me a speaking gig for $3,000 dollars and I'm also going to be a paid speaker in a summit." - Natalie Gingrich⁠
⁠
🙋🏽‍♀️ What will you story be? Will you keep delaying and putting it off, or will you join this round of Podcast Propel?⁠

Instagram post 2121981342471290677_4216562637 "Think about the real connection you feel to the podcasters you listen to - you could be that to someone else. Plus, you own your podcast and you're creating an asset in your business that is forever." - Cathy Mazak⁠
⁠
This is one of the main reasons my Podcast Propel student Cathy decided to start a podcast. ⁠
⁠
As an avid podcast listener, she knew how she feels about the people she listens to. And she realized that she could create that kind of connection with *her* audience.⁠
⁠
Even though Cathy is also one of my 1-1 clients, she participated in the group program so that she could make her podcast launch smooth and successful.⁠
⁠
Here's what she said about how Podcast Propel helped her prepare for the podcast launch (which is happening next week)!⁠
⁠
"I was able to nail all the pre-work that I would have put off otherwise. Participating in the group helped me to get those things accomplished. And the way that you organized the program was so easy to follow. Having all the steps was invaluable."⁠
⁠
If you're an academic woman, be sure to check out Academic Woman Amplified when it launches next week!⁠
⁠
And if you're interested in growing your audience, impact, and income by starting a podcast, shoot me a DM. I'd love to chat and see if Podcast Propel is a good fit for you.⁠

Instagram post 2120701865708945476_4216562637 When Abby joined Podcast Propel in the spring, she wasn't even sure if she wanted to start a podcast. But she'd been considering it, and she also worked with clients who had launched podcasts.⁠
⁠
She had seen how much went on behind-the-scenes and she chose to join Podcast Propel so that she would have a better understanding of what is needed to launch a podcast successfully... just in case.⁠
⁠
After our first live call, she said to us, "I'm doing it! I'm launching my own podcast."⁠
⁠
Abby shared this about her experience in Podcast Propel:⁠
⁠
"I learned so much in Podcast Propel and it was so much more than I expected. The program was perfectly paced and laid out in a way that allowed me to build on what we had accomplished the previous week.⁠
⁠
After going through the program, I feel confident that I'll be able to rock every part of my podcast launch--from planning to the technology to the launch itself. Thank you for such a comprehensive program!"⁠
⁠
She also shared that unlike other courses she has purchased, she actually finished Podcast Propel thanks to the live calls and the accountability within the group.⁠
⁠
Abby's (@abbymherman) podcast, Stories in Small Business, is launching in just a couple weeks, and I'm super excited for her!⁠
⁠
Are you on the fence about starting a podcast? Tell me where you're at and I'm happy to help you figure out if the timing is right. (DM or comment!)⁠
