Become a Profitable Podcast Guest 🎙 | 3X Founder | 3X Father | Front Row Dad | StoryBrand Guide

Are you tired of wasting time and money on marketing efforts that just don't deliver results? Believe me, I've been there.

Picture this: it's 2020, the early days of the pandemic, and I'm on the brink of losing my business. Paid ads weren't converting, leads were inconsistent, and referrals, my lifeline, were drying up. 

Meanwhile, peers in my industry were thriving, getting featured on the podcasts I avidly listened to. I knew podcast guesting held the key to business growth, but I lacked the know-how to make it happen.

Driven by frustration and determination, I embarked on a journey to master the art of podcast guesting. Fast forward, and I've personally generated over $2M in revenue from podcasts alone. 

But the true reward? Helping over 250 entrepreneurs achieve similar success, transforming their businesses as podcast guests.

There's nothing more fulfilling to me than empowering expert entrepreneurs like you to achieve the recognition and results you deserve:

✔️ Secure coveted spots on top podcasts and make it your primary marketing strategy.

✔️ Attract ideal clients who seek you out, eager to work with the go-to expert in your field.

✔️ Consistently close high-ticket sales, fueling your business growth.

✔️ Establish yourself as the undisputed authority in your industry.

✔️ Expand your network exponentially, opening doors to new opportunities and collaborations.

If you're ready to amplify your brand by sharing your story, I'd be honored to guide you. Let's unlock the power of podcast guesting together and propel your business to new heights.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the Future Focused Leaders Summit this April 6–8 on the beach in beautiful St. Augustine, FL.

This event brings together leaders who want to stay grounded in what matters most—people, purpose, and real connection—while learning how to thrive in a world being reshaped by AI.

I’ll be sharing insights on "Authority That Scales: How Podcast Guesting Builds Trust (and Sales) Faster Than Any Algorithm" and connecting with leaders who are ready to step into the future with clarity and confidence.

If you're committed to leading your team well in the age of AI, this is the room you want to be in.  Grateful that Jay Owen is leading the charge.

21 five-star Amazon book reviews in 90 minutes.

Community is power.

Last week, our 7-Figure Leap Community welcomed a very special guest.

Selena Soo joined us for a "fireside chat" on Rich Relationships.

This topic is SUPER aligned with our value system, and I knew our people would love Selena's book.

The week before our live virtual event, I encouraged our members to grab a copy of Rich Relationships so they could get the most out of our time together.

On Thursday, we had one of the best group experiences I've ever seen, and Selena absolutely rocked it.

During the Q&A portion, I asked our members if they'd like to take 6 minutes to go leave an Amazon review as a gift for Selena.

The result?

We're currently at 21 5-star reviews given, and Selena just crossed 400 reviews for her amazing book!

It's really remarkable.

Are you part of a community that shares your values and wants you to win?

There's nothing more powerful in business.

I believe loneliness is the biggest danger for an entrepreneur.

And community is the greatest opportunity.

I've been so isolated in my business that my face went numb from stress, and I thought I had a brain tumor (seriously).

And I've spent time with the most incredible, mission-driven people who have inspired me to be better and dream biggest about my impact in the world.

Fortunately, for me, I've had a lot more of the latter because I felt the pain of the former very early on after leaving my engineering career.

This has been so fundamental to my experience that ALL of the offers in my business now wrap around Community as part of the value proposition.

It's absolutely vital.

Do you agree?  What's been your experience with Entrepreneurial Loneliness?

We're in a Relationship Recession.

People are relying on AI for:

• Companionship
• Emotional support
• Even basic human empathy

And because of this?

Your cold outreach gets ignored.

Your content gets lost in the algorithm.

And the:

• Referrals
• Partnerships
• Premium clients

That come from genuine connection are harder to find than ever.

But it's not your fault.

There's a better way.

And tomorrow, for the first time ever, I'm releasing my entire system.

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to:

• Build dream partnerships
• Establish industry authority
• Add $100,000/year in new revenue
• Land more premium clients for your business

Just from appearing on the *right* podcasts in your industry.

Most coaches and consultants don’t have a revenue problem.

They have an offer problem.

Specifically:

👉 too many offers
👉 unclear roles
👉 confused buyers

Here’s a simplifying rule that holds up across 6 and 7-figure businesses:

You only need 3 offers.

1️⃣ A WIDE offer

Think: front-end
	•	Low cost ($10–$250)
	•	DIY
	•	Minimal interaction
	•	Purpose: create customers, not profit

Examples:

📘 a book
🎓 a paid workshop
🧠 a short course
🧾 an audit

Important: If it’s free, it’s not an offer.

⸻

2️⃣ A DEEP offer

Think: core / flagship
	•	Done with you (or done for you)
	•	Finite engagement
	•	Clear promise for a clear price
	•	Purpose: cash flow

This is what your business is known for.

For most businesses, this is around 80% of revenue.

⸻

3️⃣ A LONG offer

Think: continuity
	•	Membership
	•	Mastermind
	•	Retainer
	•	Subscription

People buy once… and keep buying.

Purpose: consistency

Recurring revenue = stability.

⸻

Complexity doesn’t scale.
Simplicity does.

When each offer has one primary job:

	•	Wide → creates customers
	•	Deep → creates cash
	•	Long → creates consistency

Marketing gets clearer.
Decisions get easier.
You actually know if you’re winning.

⸻

Inside our client community, almost every 6 and  7-figure business follows this exact structure.

Different niches.
Different pricing.
Same simplicity.

If your business feels heavier than it should…your offer stack is the first place I’d look.

Quick gut check:

Which of these 3 offers is missing (or muddled) in your business right now?

Let me know in the comments!

Three months after one podcast interview…

$140,000 in revenue.

No ads.
No launch.
No “content sprint.”

Just one conversation.

Here’s what most people miss:

It wasn’t about the size of the audience.
It wasn’t about being famous.
It wasn’t even about having the perfect pitch.

It was about having a simple, intentional teach-to-sell system behind the conversation.

When you know how to:

• Establish authority in the first 10 minutes
• Create trust without trying to “close”
• Turn one interview into follow-ups, referrals, and partnerships

A single appearance can outperform months of content marketing.

That’s exactly what I’m breaking down in this upcoming (free) live masterclass:

🎓 The Simple Marketing System Solopreneurs Are Using To Add $100K/Year

📅 Live training

👉 https://lnkd.in/gNmYitK4

If you’re a coach, consultant, or service-based expert who knows you’re sitting on real value…

…but don’t want to build your own massive audience to monetize it…

This is for you.

I'm convinced we're all 1 real relationship away from transforming our business.

But most solopreneurs feel stuck:

• Drowning in shallow LinkedIn connections
• Endlessly posting content that gets ignored
• Using AI to write cold DMs that feel completely empty

This leaves many of us feeling isolated, invisible, and with zero clue how to break through the noise.

People are relying on AI for:

• Companionship
• Emotional support
• Even basic human empathy

And increasingly powerful AI tools are pulling us further into this Relationship Recession.

But over the last 5 years, I've built a simple system that changed everything.

I've used it to:

• Build a 7-figure snack brand (FireCreek, landed in Walmart)
• Create a second 7-figure coaching business
• Coach 200+ mission-driven entrepreneurs to do the same

It's helped me build relationships that actually matter—the kind that turn into partnerships, clients, and revenue.

And this Tuesday, February 17th, I'm teaching the entire system for free.

In just 90 minutes, I'll show you:

• How to avoid the biggest mistake solopreneurs make with teach-to-sell marketing

• The simplest way to establish authority in the first 10 minutes of an interview

• How to turn one interview into premium clients, dream partnerships, and business opportunities

Plus, you'll get my AI-Powered Interview Research Guide.

That way, so you can book your first 3 interviews AND build deeper connections faster.

Most people think marketing partnerships are about reach.

They’re not.

They’re about trust transfer.

When someone I respect introduces me to their audience, I don’t start at zero - I start with borrowed credibility.

The best partnerships aren’t:
 • Big
 • Flashy
 • Complicated

They’re:
 • Aligned
 • Relationship-first
 • Built on serving the same person

If your marketing feels heavy, expensive, or inconsistent, the answer probably isn’t more content.

It’s one great partnership done well.

Marketing partnerships can take many forms...

...guest training, joint workshops, expert panels, email lead magnet swaps, subscription box placements...and of course let's not forget about Podcast Guesting. 🎙️ 

What's been one of your favorite marketing partnerships?

P.S. This photo captured the moment my first interview on Digital Marketer's podcast went live in 2023.

I didn't know then that it would lead me to speaking at Traffic & Conversion Summit, being invited to Ryan Deiss's mastermind, or becoming a regular guest expert for their premium community.

That's the power of an aligned partnership!

I don't think the average solopreneur realizes how much money you can make from being a guest on podcasts.

Last year, I went on The Nathan Barry Show.

And 90 days later:

That ONE 60-minute episode generated over $140,000 in new revenue.

But the crazy part?

It has less than 3,000 views on YouTube.

And I'm *still* getting new high-quality leads 8 months later.

There is SO MUCH opportunity in podcast guesting.

And so much leverage.

More leverage than most marketing strategies.

Every interview you do isn't just "effort."

It's an asset.

This is why every solopreneur should have a proven system that turns one interview into more:

• Premium clients
• Dream partnerships
• Business opportunities

Which is exactly what I'm going to reveal on Tuesday, February 17th at 1 PM CST.

For free.

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to:

• Start landing clients fast
• Establish industry authority
• Add $100,000/year in new revenue

And more!

Last week, I spoke to a Founder running a $700K coaching business. And he’s exhausted.

Everything looks good on the surface. 

Revenue is growing quickly, but he's managing a team of 25 coaches.

But as revenue goes up, so does acquisition cost (and so does stress). 

So this Founder:

→ Relies heavily on cold traffic
→ Needs to 'push to close' prospects on calls
→ Uses paid ads to top up the 'funnel', eating into margins

Even with great top line numbers, below the surface, he's super stressed out, because conversion takes a lot of work, time and resources (meaning profit margin is very low).

For me, it's not about how much I make, but how much I get to keep.

Revenue growth is great, profit is better.

Last year, we hit seven-figure revenue AND 70% profit margins. We did it through podcast guesting and warm partnerships.

By borrowing other people’s trusted audiences, our cost of client acquisition is basically zero. 

Which, of course, provides a lot more room for margin. And there's no ad expense to eat into our profits.

"You need a massive audience to make money" is the biggest faulty belief holding solopreneurs back from adding $100k+ years.

But most solopreneurs stay stuck for 2 reasons:

1. Choosing The Wrong Marketing Strategy

Most solopreneurs waste years on unprofitable paths:

• Posting 5x/week hoping for traction
• Spending thousands on ads that never convert
• Sending Cold DMs that feel gross and get ignored

Instead, find a system that builds authority AND generates revenue.

2. Treating Podcast Guesting Like a Lottery Ticket

Most solopreneurs think showing up is enough.

Do the interview & hope for the best.

But there are only 3 things that actually matter:

• Finding the RIGHT shows (where your audience already listens)

• Delivering value in the first 10 minutes (giving you instant authority)

• Turning one interview into multiple opportunities (so you have a 6-figure growth engine running 24/7)

What's the point of having an amazing offer if you can't get in front of the right people?

Or going on a podcast where no one remembers you?

Now, the solopreneurs adding $100,000+/year fixed these 2 mistakes.

That's why I'm running my free masterclass this Tuesday, February 17th.

In just 90 minutes, I'll cover:

• How to avoid the biggest mistake solopreneurs make with teach-to-sell marketing

• The simplest way to establish authority in the first 10 minutes of an interview

• How to turn one interview into more teaching opportunities, partners, and premium clients

Plus, to make the most of your time, you'll also walk away with:

• My AI-Powered Interview Research Guide
• The exact system I used to generate $140,000 from one podcast
• A repeatable process you can use in less than 2 hours per week

One podcast interview.
$140,000+ in revenue.
Zero ads.

That’s what happened after I appeared on Nathan Barry’s podcast.

Not because it “went viral.”
Not because I have a massive audience.

It worked because I showed up with a deliberate strategy for borrowing someone else’s audience - and turning attention into real business.

After that interview, a lot of people asked me the same question:

“What did you actually DO to make that work?”

So I broke it down into a simple, practical resource that walks through the exact approach I used.

I even created 3 custom AI Prompts 🤖 that you can use to make the process super simple for your business.

If you want access, comment “PODCAST” and I’ll send it to you.

(Especially helpful if you’re a coach, consultant, or expert who wants growth without building everything from scratch.)
