Why You Sound Different on Mic Than in Real Life with Voice Coach Sally Prosser

Why are there some podcasts you could listen to for hours and others you don’t absorb a single word they say?  Today I'm talking to voice coach, former TV journalist, and author Sally Prosser about the hidden vocal habits that quietly undermine even the most knowledgeable podcasters and content creators. Sally has worked with spokespeople, executives, and creators to help them find and own their unique voiceprint. Not a polished, scripted version of someone else, but a refined, confident version of themselves.

Why Most Huge Podcasts Make No Money with Tom Noske

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/ [https://www.instagram.com/tomnoske/]) and join time to build here (https://www.timetobuild.live/ [https://www.timetobuild.live/])  Have a guest you want to hear from?

20,000 Followers in 6 Days. What you need to do Before (and After) you go Viral

20,000 new followers. Six days. One Instagram post. And the reason it actually worked had nothing to do with the post itself. It worked because she was ready.  Most creators aren’t. They get a viral moment, hundreds of thousands of new eyeballs land on their page but it gets stuck. It doesn’t TRULY go viral and within a week…those people are gone. And it’s because there was nothing there to hold them. I'm breaking down the 3 things you need to do before you go viral so that every single one of those new followers has a reason to stick around and the three things to do after you have that viral moment to bring them into your world. We cover: 🎙️ The three things you need to have in place before you go viral 🎙️ The one mistake people make with their links every time  🎙️ What to post the moment a reel takes off to keep new followers in your world 🎙️ The one simple thing 99% of creators never do that will make people share your podcast with their friends Have a guest you want to hear from?

From 0 Followers to Hundreds of Thousands of Views with Lu and Loz from Ready or Not

How do you grow a show when you start with 0 followers and no personal brand?  Ready or Not was born back in 2022 and co-hosts Lucinda Mckimm and Lauren Treweek have been building their community and audience ever since. But the last 12 months … something has changed. From day one they knew the type of podcast they were creating and how they were different, they built an incredible show that people wanted to listen to every single week. But then after diving into the data they noticed one number just didn’t’ add up. So they changed their strategy … Now they get thousands of views on every reel, their audience co-create their shows and today they’re sharing exactly what they pay attention to now every single week and all of the things they wish they knew years ago.
