#34 | Why Having High Profile Guests On Your B2B Podcast Won’t Grow Your Show In 2026 (What To Do Instead)

Is relying on high profile guests actually slowing down your B2B podcast growth instead of accelerating it?

If you’re hosting interviews, landing big names, and still seeing inconsistent downloads or short-lived spikes, this episode explains exactly why. Many B2B podcasters assume high profile guests are the fastest path to growth—but in reality, they often create one-hit wonders rather than long-term listeners. The missing piece isn’t better guests…it’s a tighter content strategy.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why high profile guests rarely convert into loyal B2B podcast subscribers—and how to fix the retention gap
2. How a focused content strategy makes your podcast feel “built for me” to the right audience
3. How to structure guest episodes so they amplify your authority instead of overshadowing your show

If you want your B2B podcast to attract, engage, and retain listeners long after the episode drops, this is a must-listen.
