Most people start a podcast to “get views.” The smart ones use it to get clients.

In this episode, we break down how to turn your podcast into a lead magnet — from inviting guests who are your ideal clients to using video strategically, embedding tasteful offers, and creating content that compounds visibility.

We cover:

🎯 The “react content” formula that hacks the algorithm.

🎙 Why your podcast should be a lead magnet, not a hobby.

💡 How to invite potential clients as guests to build real connections.

🚀 Using short clips, transformation stories, and “hot content” to sell naturally.

📈 The rise of individualism marketing (why brands with personality win).

🧩 Turning a podcast into a sales system, not a side project.

Watch the full breakdown — and learn how to sponsor your own content like a pro.
