Podaminos, this show is coming to its natural end. 

This is the last, final episode that will be shared here and a new podcast will take its place focussing entirely on Podcasting - growth, inspiration, motivation, ideas and more. 

I want to thank everyone who made this podcast possible from the team behind the scenes, to my partner, every guest and every listener. You have been incredible. 

If you had to start your business all over again from scratch, what's the one thing you would do from day one? For today’s guest Samantha Riley from the Thought Leaders Business Lab Podcast, it’s podcasting!

There are so many reasons why anyone would choose to begin a podcast. Sometimes its to teach, to explore a kernel of history, and sometimes its to grow our business and position ourselves as the authority - that’s exactly what today’s guest has used podcasting to do. 

Meet Samantha Riley

Samantha Riley is from the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia, and has spent the past 8 years helping people turn their expertise into a thriving business. Everything she teaches is what she’s learned through personal experience while building multiple businesses over the past 26 years.

She uses the 3 key principles of positioning, profile and leverage to help people to monetise their expertise, and to become the go-to authority in their industry. Due to her extensive business background, she sees each individual in a unique and holistic way, and is able to help them grow a profitable business to create a life that they love.

Podcasting is more than a money-making scheme. 

For some of us, it feeds and nourishes the soul and soothes and heals our mental and emotional health, and lets our creativity fly! 

There are endless reasons why we podcast, and in this special mini-series I'm joined by Vanessa Smith from the NormalNess Podcast to ask her:

• Why she podcasts
• What she gets out of podcasting
• Her biggest challenges and;
• What advice she would give to a new podcaster 

Who is Vanessa Smith? 

Vanessa is a personal blogger and podcaster with a massive case of Shiny Object Syndrome - and rather than trying to manage it and keeping it at arms length, she's fully embracing it and delving in deep, investigating why we "should" all over ourselves constantly, and is the author several books including Fuck Should.

Does the thought of inventing and creating systems that others preach are the heartbeat of their podcasts make you want to hide under all your blankets never to be heard from again?

I know, I know - systems can be freaky and frightening. But take a deep breath because I got your back, Jack. In this episode, we're going to look at FOUR simple and easily implementable templates that you can use for your podcast whether you're an editor working with a steady stream of clients, or a Coach managing a team or just getting started - these simple systems will give you the freedom to keep on doing what you do best! 

G-Suite for Business is one of the tools I recommend in this episode and if you'd like to receive 20% off your first year of using G-Suite!

Aloha Podaminos and VA's! 

Today we're debunking the myth that you must buy a certain kind of microphone and you must spend a nutty amount of dosh on fancy equipment before you even record yourself for the time. 

We're looking at the real equipment costs and when to upgrade your tools of the trade, including REAL dollar amounts!

Podaminos, 

We need to talk about the many ways you can speak up without being a public speaker. Speaking up doesn't always mean you have to get up on stage and speak to a huge crowd. Sometimes, it's in the way we live our lives and the example we set for those around us!

Podaminos and Va's you are in for a TREAT! 

This is a special bonus episode from our sister podcast, Good Girls Don't, featuring myself and co-host Verity Mansfield and guest, Amy Towle from Temple of She. 

This is a powerful episode that tackles the taboo nature of sexuality and the female orgasm - Amy is a Yoni Masseus helping women to unlock their sexuality and explore themselves removing shame from the equation. 

Have you ever woken up and checked your phone only to find about a bazillion notifications from clients demanding you respond to them ASAP?

Have you ever checked those notifications to find they were sent at ungodly hours?

It doesn't feel good to start your workday feeling three miles behind the starting line. In fact, it's downright BAD for your mental health and productivity. 

So how can we set firm boundaries with clients or potential clients? 

In this episode, I'm going to share some horror-stories, and excellent free tools and tips to save your sanity and help you and your business flourish!
