Do you often find yourself being approached for free advice as a small business owner or industry leader? It's a common scenario that many of us face, where people seek our expertise without considering the value of our time and knowledge. In a world where business may be slow or not going as expected, it can be frustrating to constantly offer free advice. But what if I told you that there's a way to turn these interactions into opportunities for growth and standing out online?

As a podcast marketing expert at The Podcast Space I specialize in helping small business owners and impact-driven entrepreneurs navigate the world of content strategy- so I have a lot of thoughts! I really wanted to delve into the topic of dealing with freebie seekers and brain pickers, offering insights on how to handle these interactions without feeling overwhelmed or taken advantage of, and in a way that helps you generate podcast growth!
