Andrea Entz Podcast Management

And throw out the script while you're at it... ⬇️

The best podcast episodes are relaxed, fly on the wall conversations 🪰

Yes, give your episode structure and clarity with a general outline, but bring it to life with your REAL ASS VOICE

Sharing your voice can be scary and it's totally natural to want to stick to a script and control how you're coming across... very polished 💅

But that's not why people listen to your podcast...

If they wanted that they would have bought your book 📚

No, they want to hear you be a real person, not over-editing, not holding back from maybe messing up a bit!

(And don't worry, if you mess up that's why you've got an editor like me on your team 😉)

If you're having trouble relaxing or sounding like a real person when you record try this...

🎙Record from the couch or a cozy corner

🎙Hold a cup of tea in your hand (you don't even have to drink it. It'll send cozy signals to your brain just by being in your hand)

🎙Post a photo of your BFF on the wall behind your mic and speak your episode directly to her... (exactly how you would say it to her! Silly jokes, laughing, teeheeheein', pausing to think of a word, etc.!)

These will help you relax and seem like you're having a REAL conversation.

Now, we don’t love a 45 minute ramble-a-thon, but we don't want a robotic workplace explainer video either (You know the ones from HR?)

When we get so caught up on getting our podcast perfect, we lose the relaxed human element that makes podcasts so great 😌🎧

But know if this is something you struggle with... it's TOTALLY human ❤️

Had such a lovely time at the Spill the Tea networking event last week 🫖😍

There is nothing I love better than chatting with inspiring, powerful female entrepreneurs… and having lil cute cookies while doing it ☺️🍪

Thank you to for hosting, for all the goodies, and for the photos 📸

Friendly reminder 🙌

❌ Your podcast doesn't need to top the charts...

❌ It doesn't need 1,000 downloads an episode...

❌ You don't need a million listeners...

Those things are all nice but...

If you're stressin about the numbers...😰

And it's bummin you out when you think about your pod...😞

Or keeping you from starting that pod you've been dreaming of starting...🤩

FORGET IT! FORGET THE NUMBERS! 🤯 (At least for now)

You don't need to reach a million people...

✅ You need to reach a handful of the RIGHT people ✅

How many client spots are you truly looking to fill? A million?? I highly doubt it.

For most entrepreneurial businesses, their main program is really only looking to fill 5-20 spots

So you don't need to reach a million people. You need to reach 5-20 (you'll reach more than that, but still....you get the 📸)

Moral of the story: ❌ Do not let the vanity metrics scare you! ❌

Only have 50 listeners? Great!

You have no idea how many of those 50 are getting closer and closer to being a paid client because they get so much value from you and your pod week after week 🙌

Keep making your pod. There are people who really look forward to hearing from you, whether you know it or not. ❤️
