If you’re a podcaster, chances are you have a dream guest you’d love to have on your show.


The excitement from landing an A-list guest on your show can quickly be overshadowed by the disappointment of your expectations not being met. For example, the interview is lackluster, your listenership doesn’t improve, or they don’t promote your episode to their audience.


We’re guessing after putting in a ton of work to land a dream guest only to be disappointed is not how you want things to go.


Landing your dream guest is half the battle, what happens after is what really counts. So, our host Kevin Chemidlin wants to share his proven hacks on how to land your dream guest, how to make your interview stand out, how to leverage your dream guest to grow your listenership, and much more.


Tune in to hear how to make the most of a dream guest episode so you can grow your show!
