As podcasters, one of the biggest questions we face is how to turn listeners into clients. It’s not just about creating great content—it’s about creating intentional connections that move your audience to take action. In this episode, Kristin sits down with the incredible Vanessa Wilde, a copywriting expert who has mastered the art of converting listeners into customers.

The rules have changed. People don’t want freebies just for the sake of having them. They want to see how it benefits them. Vanessa shares exactly how to create a purposeful experience that takes your listeners step by step—from tuning in, to joining your email list, and finally saying yes to your offers.

Here’s how you can start converting your listeners:

• Create a freebie that delivers quick wins. Think about what makes sense for your audience and offer something they can use immediately.
• Keep your funnel aligned and simple. Every piece, from the freebie to the emails, should guide them naturally.
• Focus on authenticity. Share fun and relatable stories that let your audience connect with the real you.

“People connect with who you are, not just what you sell”

Vanessa also dives into the details—creating straightforward landing pages, writing subject lines that grab attention, and knowing exactly how many emails to send each week. She encourages podcasters to think beyond the content and look at the bigger picture: how are you nurturing your audience?

This episode is filled with practical steps to help you connect with your audience in a meaningful way. If you’re ready to grow your podcast and guide your listeners toward taking action, Vanessa offers the tools and strategies to make it happen with clarity and intention.

The podcasting world can feel overwhelming. With nearly 3 million podcasts out there, how do you make your mark? According to Alex Sanfillipo’s survey in Podcasting Made Simple, the truth is far more approachable: only about 300,000 podcasts are active, and just 34,000 are considered established. If your goal is to consistently produce 100 episodes, you’ll find yourself competing in a much smaller arena—one where strategy makes all the difference.

Podcasting isn’t just a buzzword anymore, it’s a commitment. Most podcasters quit before reaching 100 episodes because success takes time—an average of two years—and requires a clear plan to get there.

Without a strategy, it’s easy to lose focus and momentum. But when you approach podcasting with intention, everything changes.

• Success isn’t about the numbers; it’s about serving the audience you’re meant to reach.
• The right strategy focuses on building a meaningful connection with your listeners while continually improving your craft.

Don’t let the big numbers scare you. Those top-tier podcasts you admire didn’t start with perfection—they started with consistency, commitment, and a plan. If you’re ready to break into that top 5% of podcasters who see success, focus on strategy, adapt to trends, and stay the course.

As Kingdom entrepreneurs, there’s often a pressure to do more and be more. But true growth doesn’t stem from constant doing—it arises from intentional rest and renewal. In this episode, health coach Ahna Fulmer and Kristin explore the power of early morning habits and how they set the tone for the day, aligning spirit, mind, and body.

Our society doesn’t teach us to rest. It teaches us to grind, push, and always be on the go. But what happens when we choose rest instead? Ahna shares how making the shift from doing to being changed everything. When rest became a priority, the to-do list no longer had the power to control the day.

Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

• When rest and stillness become priorities, your perspective on your to-do list shifts. You stop rushing and start being intentional.
• The pressure to control everything is real. But embracing stillness helps you reconnect with purpose and align with God’s plan for you.
• Wake up with purpose, not stress, and begin your day with alignment and focus.

“Some seasons you preserve and some seasons you press pause”

“In order to truly live we need to learn how to rest. Our society does not promote that” 

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about being intentional with what you’re doing. When you get your rest, everything else flows with clarity and purpose. If you want to make this year your most impactful yet, focus on rest, alignment, and setting your mornings with intention. It’s time to build with purpose, not just to do.

Kabrina Ashley and Kristin Chadwick talk about the intricacies of content creation and the importance of authentic storytelling. Ashley draws from her own journey, illustrating the evolution of her career from a full-time Disney employee to a communication strategist, emphasizing the necessity of being seen and heard in today's digital age.

Fear can often paralyze content creators, such as the pressure to constantly produce and the fear of inadequacy. Ashley’s method of reducing this anxiety involves focusing on a niche audience and encouraging podcasters to articulate their unique stories, making their content relatable and engaging.

This episode highlights practical strategies for leveraging personal experiences, using humor, and creating memorable narratives that resonate with listeners. This approach not only fosters a genuine connection with the audience but also aids in the growth of a sustainable business model, liberating creators from the relentless grind of content generation and allowing them to enjoy their entrepreneurial journey.

Takeaways:

• In a noisy digital world, focus on serving a small, engaged audience rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
• Creating content should reflect your life goals; define the lifestyle you want first.
• Storytelling is an essential skill for podcasters, emphasizing emotional connection and relatability.
• Effective content creation involves using tools that simplify the process and save time.
• AI can't replicate genuine human experiences; embrace your unique stories and emotional insights.
• Don't underestimate the power of email marketing; it's crucial for maintaining ongoing connections with your audience.

Today's question from you, my listeners, "How do I choose a podcast name?"

• Choosing a podcast name should incorporate keywords that make it easily searchable for new listeners.
• If you already have a following, using your name can work, but include a descriptive tagline.
• Avoid cutesy names that confuse potential listeners; clarity is key for discoverability.
• Think about what your podcast is about and who your audience is when naming it.
• Rebranding can help clarify your podcast's purpose and attract the right audience.
• Make sure your podcast name reflects its content so new listeners know what to expect.
