When you listen to podcasts, you've heard this thousands of times, the host asking you for a 5-star rating and a review. This idea comes from the belief that the more 5-star ratings you get, the higher your podcast will appear in searches and directories. In this episode, I share with you three points that might prove this doesn't matter AND the main reason you MUST ask for this with every episode!

A podcast is normally a series of episodes centered around a specific story or topic. But...that's not the ONLY way to use a podcast. I explore a couple of other ways you might use your podcast, including going old school, to how this whole podcasting thing started!

When you do a podcast, you truly are the expert in your story. This is our passion. We are all driven by a powerful "undercurrent" that shapes our decisions and ultimately is described as our "passion"

You are literally telling the world about your passion. In this episode, we shine a light on your passion, how it plays into your podcast and using simple math, I show you that you really are smarter than 99.99% of the planet when it comes to your passion.

To have a professional and successful podcast, one of the very first challenges will be getting over the sound of your own voice. This is common with EVERY podcast host I have ever worked with.

In this episode, I go through the purity (and realness) of this experience, as well as we will take time to listen to four very successful podcast hosts. Finally, I give you actionable tips to get over this hurdle quickly with confidence.
