This includes connecting virtually, remotely, with video, with text, and the list goes on.

And one of the most magical ways to connect is at in-person events.

When I reached out to Marcia to ask if she would be interested in talking about how she has marketed her business she wasn’t sure I was knocking on the right door.

She told me she had never really had a marketing strategy and that most of her clients had come from referrals and inconsistent posting on LinkedIn.

I replied to say that those things are actually marketing. And as it turns out, she has done many brilliant things to grow her business. She just wasn’t

The key to a successful business is consistently connecting with your ideal clients.

There are many ways to do this. Some take more time, some take more money, and some take more energy.

And there is one marketing strategy that takes the least amount of time, money, and energy to get in front of the right people - that is being a guest on someone’s podcast.

But how does it work? Where do you find these podcasts and how do you get yourself booked on them?

Lisa Simone Richards is an expert on this topic and in this episode of my podcast, she shares everything you need to know about how to get booked on your first (or next) podcast.

Including how to deal with rejection, because not everyone will say yes and that is totally normal.

We also discuss the compound effect visibility can have for your business which can translate into people approaching you to speak or be a podcast guest.

And Lisa also shares what she finds most meaningful about her work.

She even has a free template you can use (it’s the same one she uses herself). See link below.

Oh yeah, and Ginger makes a surprise cameo appearance.

Download her free Perfect Podcast Pitch Template, which will help you write a pitch that gets you featured on podcasts.

And here’s a bit more about Lisa and her work.

Dr. Bayo Akomolafe was one of the speakers at The House of Beautiful Business Conference last year and the wisdom he shared cracked open my mind and my heart.  

To my absolute delight, Bayo agreed to have a conversation with me on my podcast and talk about business and marketing.

We discussed trust and the gift mentality, reaching out to people, having a big vision (or perhaps a vision having you), imagination, failing generously, and play.

He also talked about being in awe, to stand in awe of the things that exceed us. And he mentioned this quote.

“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.” Rainer Maria Rilke

Bayo Akomolafe (Ph.D.), rooted with the Yoruba people in a more-than-human world, is the father to Alethea and Kyah, the grateful life partner to Ije, son and brother. A widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, public intellectual, essayist, and author of two books, These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home (North Atlantic Books) and We Will Tell our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak, Bayo Akomolafe is the Visionary Founder of The Emergence Network and host of the online post activist course, ‘We Will dance with Mountains’.

“Falling might very well be flying – without the tyranny of coordinates.” Dr. Bayo Akomolafe

For a self-proclaimed ‘non-marketer’ Eldridge Labijno shares so many essential ideas about how to market your business.

We cover making organic connections with people, the power of referrals, the importance of knowing your short introduction inside and out, how having a niche helps you, valuing your services at the right price, solving problems for people, and being of service.

And finally, he shares what he loves most about being a Meaningpreneur.

Eldridge talked about always giving value to people you connect with. Be prepared to solve a problem. He defines a problem as, “an undesired state.”

This is the three-part framework he mentioned to ask to discover the problem:

1. What do you have that you don’t want?

2. What do you not have that you do want?

3. What do you have that you want more of?

The author Eldridge mentioned is David Graeber and the books he mentioned are: Bullshit Jobs and Debt: The First 5000 Years.  

You can find out more about Eldridge on his website here and connect with him on LinkedIn here.  

“Nobody can do what you do. Because nobody is you.” Eldridge Labijno

After a successful international career as a neoclassical ballet dancer, Eldridge retrained for ten years to become a theatre director and Master Coach of Strategic Interventions.

Based in the Netherlands he works around Europe giving workshops for startup accelerators, Universities, cultural institutions, and businesses.

He also works as an external communications consultant for people who aspire to public office in the UK.

Eldridge is one of three Statutory Directors of the Dance and Creative Wellness Foundation.
