Topic: Podcast Growth

Susan Paton introduces a summer series for The Business of Stories, featuring six highly resonant past episodes. This specific revisit focuses on the misconception that new businesses lack valuable stories to share. The discussion emphasizes that personal experiences, decisions, and challenges faced long before a business launch serve as powerful tools for building trust and connection with an audience.

Sally German discusses her new "secret podcast" titled Let's Journal, which consists of five-minute episodes designed to provide quick insights and prompts. Created as part of a 30-day audience growth challenge, the podcast serves as an engagement tool for her existing community and a lead magnet for new followers. She concludes by offering a final journaling tip: asking oneself "How are you?" followed by "How are you really?" to reach deeper emotional layers.

The episode concludes with a request for listeners to rate, review, and follow the podcast on platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify. The host expresses gratitude for the audience and previews future conversations regarding meaningful connections and stories.
