There are over 5 million podcasts available globally and 3 million in the US and UK alone. It takes a lot more to stand out these days.
It takes a plan and some strategy.
Want to learn how to connect with your audience and guest better?
That’s what this course tackles—the framework for conducting better interviews while supporting your brand and hooking your audience.
Learn how to:
- Strategically plan and prepare for your podcast
- Ask better questions during the interview
- Listen more actively

It’s not enough to sit behind a microphone and have a conversation.
Not if you want to capture your audience’s attention. And you do.
Podcasts allow you to engage more deeply with your audience. They are a great way to show your personality, your energy, and your expertise. They help boost trust and loyalty, too.
The key component is YOU.

Why Me?
I’m a story coach and writer who helps entrepreneurs and content creators craft stronger stories. I’m a bit obsessed with story and how to write so people respond, whether that’s grabbing the tissues or clicking that buy button.
I started my writing career with the Mickey (yup, the Mouse). Since then, I’ve worked as a Communications Director for a national non-profit and run an independent writing studio with clients ranging from the U.S. Army to Nordstrom, PBS to National Geographic, Woman’s Day to Earth Echo International, and many others.
I do it all—write, script, produce, direct, and serve as a script doctor, speechwriter, creative consultant, and story coach. The forms may change. Story never does.
When I’m not researching story and the neuroscience of story, you can find me curled up with a cat and book, binging K-dramas, or out walking my dog.
