Why Professionals Need a Podcast: Top Ranked Podcast Host on Building Authority & Attracting Clients

You're posting every day. You're showing up on Instagram. You're spending hours on seven-second reels trying to be funny, clever, and catchy — and still wondering why it's not converting. Here's the truth: you cannot sell a $20,000 offer from a seven-second reel. People need to know you, like you, and trust you — and that happens through long-form content. In this episode of Unknown to Known, Jamie Maglietta sits down with Allison Hare — broadcasting grad, former 23-year corporate sales executive, and podcast strategist who has worked on 24+ shows — to break down exactly why podcasting is the most powerful brand-building tool for professionals right now, and how to actually make it work without burning out. Allison shares her Four P's of Podcasting framework — Purpose, Listener, Premise and Promise — and walks through how busy founders can build a show that is sustainable, strategic, and aligned with who they are. They also dig into the trifecta of long-form content, why your podcast can become part of your listener's daily routine, how to price out your production, and what it means to become known in an audio-first world. Whether you've been sitting on a podcast idea for years or just started wondering if you need one — this conversation is your sign. 🔗 Connect with Allison: Website: https://allisonhare.com [https://allisonhare.com/]LI: https://linkedin.com/in/allisonhare [https://linkedin.com/in/allisonhare]IG: https://instagram.com/allison__hare [https://instagram.com/allison__hare]YT: https://youtube.com/@culturechangerspod [https://youtube.com/@culturechangerspod]Culture Changers Podcast: https://allisonhare.com/podcast [https://allisonhare.com/podcast] Connect with Jamie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamie_maglietta/ [https://www.instagram.com/jamie_maglietta/] Show Clips: https://www.instagram.com/get_oncamready/ [https://www.instagram.com/get_oncamready/] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-maglietta/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-maglietta/] Website & Visibility Program: Visibility Program: https://www.oncamready.com/ [https://www.oncamready.com/] Resources + Links: (ON CAM) Ready Equipment: https://shorturl.at/Ca5tg Substack: Newsletter: https://oncamready.substack.com [https://oncamready.substack.com] Riverside (Affiliate): Record your content with Riverside:  https://riverside.sjv.io/09VWrE [https://riverside.sjv.io/09VWrE] Discount Code: OCR15 VidIQ (Affiliate): https://vidiq.com/oncamready [https://vidiq.com/oncamready]

A Literary Agent Tells All: How to Build Your Platform, Land a Book Deal & Why AI Will Get You Rejected

You have a book idea. Maybe you've had it for years. But here's what nobody tells you — the idea is not enough. Before a literary agent finishes reading your pitch, they're already Googling you. And if what they find doesn't back you up, that email gets closed. In this episode of Unknown to Known, Jamie Maglietta sits down with Sally Ekus — literary agent, founder of The Ekus Group, and author of the Substack newsletter The Not So Secret Agent — to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to land a traditional book deal. Sally has placed authors with Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and more, and she is one of the most transparent voices in publishing today. In this conversation they cover the full road to becoming a published author — from comp research at your local bookstore to building a platform before you ever send a pitch. Sally also breaks down the difference between traditional, hybrid and self-publishing, explains what the 1-3% audience conversion rule means for your follower count, shares the behind-the-scenes story of how The Lao Kitchen came to be, and delivers a serious warning about using AI in your query letter — because she can spot it immediately and it's an automatic pass. This one is for every person who has ever said "I should write a book." Today we figure out what's standing between you and that deal. 🔗 Sally's Substack — Not So Secret Agent: https://substack.com/@sallyekus [https://substack.com/@sallyekus]The Ekus Group: https://ekusgroup.com [https://ekusgroup.com]⚠️ Writers Beware (author scam resource): https://www.sfwa.org/other-resources/for-authors/writer-beware/ [https://www.sfwa.org/other-resources/for-authors/writer-beware/] Connect on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sallyekus/ Proposal Guide: https://notsosecretagent.substack.com/p/cookbook-proposal-guidelines?r=6lue7 Mentioned: Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) - https://www.ibpa-online.org/ Connect with Jamie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamie_maglietta/ [https://www.instagram.com/jamie_maglietta/] Show Clips: https://www.instagram.com/get_oncamready/ [https://www.instagram.com/get_oncamready/] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-maglietta/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-maglietta/] Website & Visibility Program: Visibility Program: https://www.oncamready.com/ [https://www.oncamready.com/] Resources + Links: (ON CAM) Ready Equipment: https://shorturl.at/Ca5tg Substack: Newsletter: https://oncamready.substack.com [https://oncamready.substack.com] Riverside (Affiliate): Record your content with Riverside:  https://riverside.sjv.io/09VWrE [https://riverside.sjv.io/09VWrE] Discount Code: OCR15 VidIQ (Affiliate): https://vidiq.com/oncamready [https://vidiq.com/oncamready]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
