This week on Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Sarah St John of the Frugalpreneur podcast.

Frugalpreneur shows people how to build a business on a bootstrapped budget, and interviews entrepreneurs to answer your questions about being successful online.

Topics up for discussion this week include:

• how the show originally started as a complementary piece to market her book
• how podcasting introduces you to so many people that can help you
• how her change to an interview-style show reignited her podcasting passion
• how a lack of podcasting resources saw her start her own company to offer exactly that
• why she took almost a year off from her podcast, and how Covid presented an opportunity to relaunch
• how the experience has been, compared to her expectations for it
• how Covid has made her much more focused and consistent with her show
• why she prefers the intimacy of podcasting
• how her own networking opportunities have exploded through the podcast
• how she found her love of entrepreneurship
• the episodes that have stood out for her, and why
• how she takes something away from every guest she has on her show
• how she's taken the best of her shows and created an online podcasting course
• why she's aiming to do more solo shows in 2021
• what advice she'd give new podcasters
• why being a guest on podcasts is so key to growing your business
• why John Lee Dumas is her hero

Settle back for a look at entrepreneurship on a budget, and how podcasting can help drive the goals and results you're looking for.
