    May 26 2026
    Would you publicly share your revenue goal and let people watch you chase it? My guest Megan Yelaney did exactly that, and in this episode we are breaking down everything behind it.Megan is a business coach, messaging strategist, and the host of the Business Not As Usual podcast. She has built a million-dollar brand helping coaches become the one person their clients cannot stop thinking about. She is a former musical theater actress turned entrepreneur, a twin mom, and she is currently on a public mission to hit $200K in 90 days while working under 30 hours a week with two toddlers at home.In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, Megan shares what she calls the "authority stamp" (or 10K one-liner), how to build thought leadership content that positions you as an expert, three marketing strategies that no longer work and what to do instead, how she uses private podcasts as a launch tool, and what it actually feels like to set a public revenue goal and let people watch the messy middle unfold.This was one of the most tactical interviews I have ever done. By the end of this episode you will have things you can implement today.🔑Here's a glance to the episode:What the authority stamp (10K one-liner) is and how to create yoursWhy authority comes from lived experience just as much as credentialsAn exercise you can do right now to find your authority stampThe two types of content that build authority faster than anything elseHow private podcasts work as a lead magnet and launch toolWhy almost everyone who bought Megan's program had listened to her private podcast firstThree marketing strategies that no longer work in 2026Why "people do not care how you get them there" is now completely falseHow to name your framework and create tangible tools that make people say "I need that"Why the post with the most saves of the year barely sold anythingThe difference between content that gets saves and content that gets salesWhy sharing the messy middle converts better than polished expert contentHow video series are outperforming static educational content right nowWhat Megan learned about fear of failure from her public $200K challengeTimestamps:03:35: What the 10K one-liner is and how it became the "authority stamp"05:00: A real-time marketing lesson: why the first version did not sell and what she changed07:15: What authority actually means (credentials vs. lived experience)09:03: An exercise to find your authority stamp right now11:20: How to create authority content: thought leadership and storytelling13:50: Video series and why they are working so well right now16:00: How private podcasts work as a launch tool (Main Character Energy)19:00: How the private podcast led directly to program sales20:00: Using podcast testimonial episodes to warm up leads23:10: Three marketing strategies that no longer work25:00: Shift 1: People now care about the HOW, not just the result28:00: Naming your framework and creating tangible tools within it29:03: Shift 2: Stop only sharing from your expert perspective31:00: Why sharing the messy middle converts better than polished content32:30: Shift 3: Educational content alone will not sell your offer35:00: The post that got the most saves of the year but barely sold anything37:00: The public $200K challenge: why she did it and what she has learned41:00: Main Character Energy private podcast: where to listen📌Resources and Links:Join the newsletterTake the Podcast Growth QuizFull Show Notes and Blog Post Connect with KyleeWebsite: podcastmarketinghub.comPodcast: Podcast Growth ToolsInstagram: @kyleejchandlerConnect with MeganWebsite: https://meganyelaney.comPodcast: Business Not As Usual Podcast (available on all major podcast apps)Instagram: @meganyelaney💬 Loved this episode?

  • Episode 72: What Top Female Podcasters Are ACTUALLY Talking About (It's Not Downloads)

    Episode 72: What Top Female Podcasters Are ACTUALLY Talking About (It's Not Downloads)
    May 19 2026

    What do female podcasters actually talk about when they get in a room together? I just got back from the Podcasting Moms Conference in Nashville, and the conversations I had changed how I think about podcast growth entirely.

    In this episode, I'm sharing my five biggest takeaways for female entrepreneurs who podcast, from why downloads are no longer the most important metric, to how AI is reshaping the way we create content, to why the most loyal audiences are being built around real, unfiltered podcast experiences. If you want to grow your podcast and actually turn listeners into paying customers, this one is for you.

    🔑Here's a glance to the episode:

    • Why impact matters more than download numbers, and what to track instead
    • How to shift from downloads to conversions and use your podcast data strategically
    • Why female podcaster collaboration is the fastest growth lever most of us are underusing
    • How to use AI intentionally so your content stays in your voice
    • Why audiences are craving real, authentic podcast experiences right now

    Timestamps:

    • 03:05: Takeaway #1: Impact over vanity metrics (why the download conversation is shifting)
    • 06:17: Takeaway #2: Conversions over downloads how to track what actually matters
    • 08:51: Takeaway #3: The power of female podcaster collaboration (and how the fastest-growing shows are doing it)
    • 12:51: Takeaway #4: AI for female podcasters (how to go from surface-level to strategic)
    • 16:07: Takeaway #5: Audiences are craving real podcast experiences (why authenticity wins right now)

    Episode 71: Why Going Viral Is Overrated (& What Actually Grows Your Business on Social Media + Beyond) with Kristina Bartold
    May 12 2026
    What if going viral would actually hurt your business more than help it?My guest Kristina Bartold has worked with over 250 businesses through her social media agency, The Social Snippet. She has seen people with 75,000 followers who cannot sell a $15 product. She has also seen entrepreneurs with small, engaged communities sell out events with a single email. The difference is not audience size. It is community.In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, we dive into why chasing virality is a trap for most entrepreneurs, what actually drives revenue on social media, how she built a seven-figure agency in three years through relationships instead of followers, and the exact strategies that are working right now for promoting your podcast on Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, and beyond.We also get into one of the most honest membership pivot stories I have heard. She had a $37 membership with 35 members that would not grow no matter what she tried. She was ready to shut it down. Instead, she pivoted the entire concept, relaunched at double the price, and now has over 100 members and growing. Her lesson: you cannot outwork a bad offer.If you have ever caught yourself wishing for a viral moment to change your business, this conversation is going to shift your perspective entirely.🔑Here's a glance to the episode:Why Kristina refers clients elsewhere when they come to her wanting viralityThe story of multiple clients with 75K+ followers who could not sell a $15 productHow she built a seven-figure agency through relationships and 100+ free Instagram auditsThe one time she went viral and why she never wants to do it againHow she sent one email and sold out her next eventWhat actually works for promoting your podcast on social media right nowBanger reels, carousels, ManyChat, Instagram Stories, and trend-based contentWhy Threads has been surprisingly effective for podcast promotionHow pairing speaking events with podcast episodes drives immediate downloadsThe honest story of pivoting a $37 membership into a 100+ member community at double the priceWhy you cannot outwork a bad offer and how to know when it is time to pivotHer advice on hiring early and outsourcing before you feel financially readyWhy podcasting is the ultimate networking and authority building toolHow her podcast downloads doubled after getting intentional with episode titlesTimestamps:04:02: How Kristina balances a seven-figure agency, a community, a podcast, and motherhood05:05: Her first hire and why she outsourced before she was financially ready07:00: The truth about going viral: why Kristina refers virality-seekers elsewhere08:30: 75K followers and cannot sell a $15 product: audience vs. community09:50: How she sent one email and sold out her event10:30: The time she went viral and why she walked away from it11:10: How to build a community that buys everything you sell13:05: Why she did 100+ free Instagram audits and how it became her growth engine14:50: The power of conversations and market research16:20: Why getting in front of other audiences is the fastest path to growth17:07: How she built High Vibe Women from casual dinners to 200+ person events19:20: How long she has been podcasting and why she almost gave up20:20: How her podcast downloads doubled after fixing her episode titles21:45: What actually works for promoting your podcast on social media24:40: LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads: which platforms are worth your time27:00: How she uses speaking events and podcast episodes together for maximum impact28:58: The story behind High Vibe Women and what makes it different32:00: How she pivoted from a $37 membership to a community with 100+ members at double the price34:00: Why you cannot outwork a bad offer35:00: Closing thoughts on relationships, community, and showing up📌Resources and Links:Join the newsletterTake the Podcast Growth QuizFull Show Notes and Blog PostConnect with KyleeWebsite: podcastmarketinghub.comPodcast: Podcast Growth ToolsInstagram: @kyleejchandlerConnect with KristinaAgency: https://thesocialsnippet.comPodcast: Community Podcast (available on all major podcast apps)Instagram: @kristina.bartold🎧 Listen on your favorite platform, now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.💬 Loved this episode?
