If you’re overwhelmed by all the advice about what a podcast “should” be, this episode is a breath of fresh air. I sit down with Kelly K. Walker, an ADHD-friendly speaking coach, who shares her real journey from starting her first podcast in 2018 and evolving into a speaking coach helping entrepreneurs (especially those with ADHD) craft memorable talks. You’ll hear us dig into the behind-the-scenes decisions around content, branding, and what actually matters when launching or rebranding a show. If you’ve ever wondered whether you have to follow one format, or if you struggle with podcast naming and discoverability, you’ll want to listen in.

A couple of key takeaways:
— How experimenting with different episode styles can help you find your own podcasting voice and connect better with listeners.
— Simple tips for choosing a podcast name (and why the perfect name might already be taken) plus a tool to brainstorm creative, available domains live on air.

Whether you’re starting or rethinking your podcast, you’ll walk away with real, practical ideas you can put to work right away.
