Tell Me More with Nicole Walters

About Being... a Self-Made HUGE Podcaster (with Les Alfred)


Listen Later

" I don't have some amazing strategy or some How-To book that I'm keeping to myself. I'm just trying things and figuring it out. I'm a girl who just bought a microphone and started throwing spaghetti at the wall and never really stopped."

 

Les Alfred went from no listeners, zero star reviews, and recording in her closet after working her 9-5 to hosting a podcast that everyone wants to listen to. In this chat with Les, we get to hear what was happening behind the scenes in those early days to what worked (and didn't) along the way.


Les shares the reasons her show recently rebranded - in content and in name - and why she's decided to embrace the word "luck." Les may look lucky from the outside but she shares how she handles the responsibility of having a large platform in 2025.
