Most people jump straight to pitching podcasts.

But the real first step comes way before that.

In this episode, I break down how to choose niche speaking topics that match your expertise and your offers — so your guest spots actually support your business instead of feeling random.

We talk about why generic topics blend in, how specificity builds authority, and what makes a listener think, “I need more from this person.”

If you want to stand out as a podcast guest, this is your foundation. 🎙️
