How Do I Podcast?

If your podcast isn't growing, the problem probably isn't your content. Kayleigh built 20,000 YouTube subscribers by fixing something most creators never think to look at…their brand world. Kayleigh started as a makeup artist who couldn't get booked during COVID. She launched a podcast to fill the time and 200 episodes later, she's built a YouTube channel with over 20,000 subscribers, a membership community, and a personal branding framework pulled directly from studying celebrities. In this episode, Kayleigh breaks down why the strategy most podcasters use to grow is actually working against them and what the biggest names in pop culture do instead.

What actually separates the creators who make it from the ones who don't? Tom Noske has been creating content since 2016. He's built a personal brand that opens doors, a community that converts, and a business that doesn't feel like a prison. But it wasn't overnight. It wasn't linear. And it definitely wasn't without moments where he almost walked away for good. In this episode Tom shares the story of a friend who did everything right…right content, right audience, right strategy…went viral on day 21, gained 160,000 followers in a single day, and never recovered. We chat about: 🎙️ Why building an audience and building a business are two completely different things 🎙️ How to set up a studio that looks incredible with what you already have 🎙️ The one pricing decision Tom made mid-launch that changed everything 🎙️ Why your personal brand is a thermostat, not a sales funnel Follow Tom over @tomnoske (https://www.instagram.com/tomnoske/) and join time to build here (https://www.timetobuild.live/) Have a guest you want to hear from?

Most podcasters don’t quit because they hate podcasting. They quit because they’re stuck in the middle and unsure if what they’re doing is working, having intrusive thoughts that ask if they should be further along by now and quietly questioning whether all the effort they put in is worth it. It’s not easy. So today I’m talking to Arielle Thomas, the incredible founder and creative behind Cinemas Thom, and host of the Process The Podcast which interviews the creatives behind some of the biggest campaigns and brands.
