What if we stopped chasing vanity metrics and started honoring the actual impact of our voice? In this episode, I sit down with Adam Torres, host of the Mission Matters podcast and co-founder of a full-blown media and book publishing agency. He’s done over 6,000 interviews, launched hundreds of shows, and published 400+ authors—and yet, he reminds us that the power of podcasting isn’t about how many people listen… it’s about who’s listening, and how deeply they connect. We talk about:

• How Adam went from corporate finance to full-time storytelling
• The moment he shut down his entire brand and relaunched in alignment with God’s direction
• Why your “small” audience might be more valuable than you think
• The spiritual and emotional legacy podcasting can create—especially for future generations
• What to focus on if you’re just starting out or feeling discouraged about growth

Adam also gets real about how podcasting helped him through grief and how his mom’s recorded voice now means more to him than any platform metric ever could. Whew. It’s a powerful reminder of what we’re really doing when we press record. Whether you're a podcaster, an author in the making, or someone who's still holding their story back—this episode will push you to show up with purpose and stop waiting for perfect conditions.

In this episode, I’m joined by Manouchka Elefant—marketing strategist, coach for mompreneurs, and host of the Hey Boss Mama podcast. Manouchka shares her real, behind-the-scenes journey of launching her show while raising a toddler, closing her agency, and redefining what success looks like in this season. We talk about the fear that comes with starting something new, the power of doing things afraid, and why sometimes choosing audio over video is the boldest move you can make. She also shares her super practical (and beautifully organized!) podcast project plan—plus how she's building a podcast around real-life capacity, not perfection. If you’ve been sitting on your podcast dream, this episode is the encouragement you didn’t know you needed.

I sat down with Alana and Samra, the dynamic duo behind She Well Read, a six-year-strong book club podcast led by two “well-read baddies” who turned post-grad friendship into a thriving literary community. From recording at Samra’s dinner table to building a seasonal show where listeners vote on each book, these ladies are redefining podcasting with authenticity, connection, and a “chaotically functional” style that proves passion beats perfection every time. We talked about starting messy, letting your audience shape the journey, and building legacy by simply showing up as your real self.

🎧 Topics:

• How they launched pre-pandemic and built a loyal listener base
• Their creative structure of weekly and bonus episodes
• Why they prioritize community-led book selections
• Lessons in consistency, authenticity, and evolving tech
• What legacy looks like when your voice leads the way

What if your podcast wasn’t just another task on your to-do list — but a powerhouse brand pillar that fuels your visibility, legacy, and leadership? In this episode of Soul Podcasting, I’m breaking down the mindset shift every CEO and purpose-driven entrepreneur needs to make: your podcast is not just content — it’s a strategic brand asset. We’ll explore how podcasting builds authority, anchors your content ecosystem, deepens emotional connection, and becomes intellectual property with long-term SEO power. I’m pulling back the curtain on my 20-year journey launching multiple aligned shows — from Christian Homeschool Moms to Mompreneurs in Heels, and now Soul Podcasting — to show you how podcasting has been my secret weapon for soulful influence and brand expansion. Plus:
✨ Why podcasting creates “intimate authority” that social media can’t
✨ How your podcast fuels all your other content streams
✨ What makes podcasting one of the most emotionally resonant brand tools
✨ The IP + legacy play CEOs overlook — and why that has to change
✨ A new podcasting trend in hyper-local audio and what that means for your brand If you're tired of spinning your wheels and want your podcast to work for your business — not just exist beside it — this one’s for you.



 Let’s elevate your voice and treat your podcast like the asset it truly is.
