Christine’s Purpose

[01:55]

Christine tends to attract people who are very heart-centered and mission-driven. She loves to do the work where she helps people own their greatness. Her business is in honor of her late daughter. Christine’s working on a mission to elevate consciousness by helping important voices become heard.

Podcast Guesting

[03:55]

Christine says that no one likes being used. Being a podcast guest is about understanding your story, which not only empowers you. The host wants to create a relationship with you, which facilitates opportunities.

How Podcasting Connects People

[09:58]

Christine finds that when it is an energetic personality fit, people become huge cheerleaders for each other. People will bring you into their masterminds or each other’s high-level programs. She thinks it is because they do not offer that service. Many people get invited into exclusive masterminds that are not advertised anywhere. They get invited if they are a perfect fit or have what they need from each other.

Vulnerability

[17:58]

What Christine finds fascinating is that even people earning more than her are often reluctant to share vulnerably. In her case, Christine decided to start her business for the reason that requires vulnerability. People buy from people they want to be in the room. You just need to connect with people. Podcasting is a leveraged way to do it. But one should look at the main pillars for the person who wants to guest in a podcast.  

Create Tangible Offers

[21:43]

You want to offer one thing that is very tangible to the guest. You must offer one clear, free call to action at the end of each episode that created podcast offers alignment. One that makes some sense between the conversation. 

Connecting with a Podcast Guest from the Internet

[24:35]

A guest is essentially still a stranger on the internet to the audience. The psychological safety required with a stranger on the internet is like getting a first tattoo. But in that moment of your first tattoo, you will have this perception of being on a pedestal because the guest was on a podcast. If you allow the audience to create to access something that they want that doesn’t require getting over fear and that allows them to dip their toe in rather than like those skinny dipping with you, then you’re creating a much wider net because the number of people who will take you up on that.
