Starting a podcast is easy if you make it simple. And today, we’re going to introduce you to someone who did it right off the bat.

Jo Ingram is a former advertising agency director turned business coach and messaging strategist. She’s also the host of the Goals with Soul Podcast, formerly the Action Taker Tribe Podcast.

When Jo discovered the power of podcasting, she immediately fell in love with it and got started. Armed with just an old holiday photo, she created her podcast cover art, thought of a title, and jumped on the microphone. Sure, it was messy! But it was one of the best decisions she has ever made.

Now, she’s here to share her podcasting adventures and show you how easy it can be.

I have a super interesting and exciting episode for you: negotiating podcast sponsorships. I have a few sponsors now for both of my podcasts, and they all came at the same time. I just learned about negotiating sponsorships in the last few months. It all began with the interview I had with Gillian Tietz, which is the episode that went live last Monday. If you haven't listened to it yet, check out that interview because she had some really good tips about working with sponsors.

In this episode, I want to tell you a little bit more about what I did to negotiate a sponsorship, what to look out for, and some tips that can work for you. I got a few questions about this on social media, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to address those questions.
