The Coaching Edge: A Business Building Podcast

Ep 54: Podcast Guesting to Grow Your Coaching Business with Jessica Rhodes


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered whether podcast guesting could actually move the needle in your business—or you’re not sure where to start—this episode is a must-listen.

I’m joined by podcast publicity pioneer Jessica Rhodes, founder of Interview Connections and the OG of podcast booking agencies. Jessica has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs land thousands of interviews—and today she’s breaking down exactly how new and emerging coaches can use podcast guesting to build visibility, grow their audience, and yes… land paying clients.

We talk about:

  • Why podcast guesting still works (and why it’s especially powerful for coaches)

  • How to treat your first year of guesting like a beta experiment

  • The “green room” strategy that turns hosts into collaborators (or clients!)

  • How to build a simple, effective 1-sheet that gets you booked

  • The biggest mistakes new guests make (and how to avoid them)

  • What to actually say when someone asks, “Where can people find you?”

    Whether you’ve been thinking about getting yourself out there or have already dipped a toe into the guesting pool, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to pitch yourself like a pro—without feeling like you need to have a bestselling book or a viral TED Talk first.

    🎧 Ready to grow your coaching business one conversation at a time? Let’s dive in.
