- Finding new meaning in your work and your life through second chances
- Confronting your fears and getting out of your comfort zone
- Finding your purpose in service to others
Online Masterclass — Podcast PR: The New Virtual Speaking Tour
Speaking on stages to people who could be your dream clients has always been a highly effective means of building visibility, professional credibility and connection with your ideal clients.

Appearing as a guest on podcasts is the new virtual speaking tour and a great PR opportunity for your business. There are currently over 800,000 podcasts in the public domain and in most first-world countries between 25–50% of people listen to podcasts.
Most podcasts are looking for guests!
Setting up a Podcast PR campaign requires a systematic approach to identifying the right audiences, podcast shows and landing a guest gig. Then showing up, prepared and presenting your best and following up with active promotion of your guest appearances.
If you want an innovative and easy PR strategy for your business, one that is effective, fun and highly profitable, then this event is for you.
