Speaking Podcasting and Media Presence

Publishing written content positions you as a knowledgeable person in your field. Speaking at events, appearing on podcasts, and getting quoted in press positions you as a recognized authority in your field — a meaningfully higher status signal. A single podcast interview can reach an engaged, pre-qualified audience of thousands and generate backlinks, social proof, and relationship opportunities that years of solo content creation cannot replicate.

Identify conferences and podcasts by searching your key topics in podcast directories (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Listen Notes), monitoring where your target audience engages (hashtag searches, community forums), and noting where respected peers in your field appear. Create a tiered target list: tier 1 (stretch goals with large audiences), tier 2 (well-matched mid-size shows), and tier 3 (smaller shows to build experience and evidence quickly).
