I originally met Ana Xavier and Jeremie Mani because we all pitched Meetup sessions at the 2025 Podcast Movement conference with a similar theme (purpose-driven podcasters) and so the organizers connected us. And what a wonderful connection!!!

This episode was originally a live stream video on YouTube and LinkedIn.

I've edited all of the Podcast Movement conference & meeting info out of this version so it's all evergreen and all about how YOU can build community and use your platform to make a difference.

Now, before you throw up your hands and click to the next thing in your feed, before you swipe on by, before you get defensive… let me tell you how I've come to this conclusion.

This episode was originally recorded as a live stream, and then edited as a podcast episode for Podcast Envy. You can catch future streams and join the discussion by following me on Instagram @thecreativeimpostor, LinkedIn @andreaklunder, or YouTube @thecreativeimpostor.

Tell me how podcasting IS working for your organization, business, company, or brand.

I am looking for 100+ ways to successfully leverage podcasting and IF we can get to this number, I'll share what I've discovered in a curated private podcast feed for YOU!

Email me [email protected] – subject line: Podcasting DOES work! and tell me a little bit about what your show is doing for you (and your org, business, company or brand.

You can send a text response or voice recording and I'd LOVE to publicly share your show and some gratitude for your brilliant contribution on a future episode of Podcast Envy.

Here's a template for what to say:

• Hi my name is…
• Our company/organization/business is…
• Our podcast is called…
• Our show has successfully helped us to…
• Bonus points, if you wanna tell me how it is that it has helped you to do that thing.

I'm sharing a peek inside my signature 5-point plan to becoming the star of your show.

Find out what you have in common with Beyoncé, Meryl Streep, Ali Wong, or J.Lo. And also Brené Brown, Elise Myers, Kelsey McKinney…

And lest you think this is all strategy, I threw in a story from my pre-teen years (ahem…1990), a mistake I made as a baby podcaster (2015), and a pop quiz! (Don't worry… if you've been listening to the last 5 episodes of Podcast Envy, you'll ace it!)

I have a confession to make and that is that I have a problem. There is a word that I have started using. I have adopted it into my language, into my vocabulary, and I am very disturbed and ashamed, and it's not a word that I wanna be using ever, or at least not as much as I have been as of late.

Well, if you looked at the title of the episode, you already know it's the "c-word."

I serve business owners, thought leaders, and organization directors in their respective niches to use the medium of podcasting towards whatever their higher purpose or goal is. But this whole media landscape is getting more competitive day by day.

You CAN use this platform to create genuine, intimate, meaningful conversations with your listeners. You are creating meaningful change in their life. You are providing them something that they don't get anywhere else.

However, they need to be able to find you, and once they find you, you need to be able to capture and hold their attention long enough to build the relationship.

And that's where the "p-word" comes in!

In university parlance, a 101 class forms the foundation for sustainable proficiency in a particular subject. It's fitting then that this one-oh-one episode of Podcast Envy is an installment of "Hey Andrea!" where I answer questions posed by real-life podcasters about creating a successful, satisfying podcasting experience for themselves, their business, their brand, or an organization.

Today's question comes via the She Podcasts Facebook group from Jeannette Bonner, producer and host of Hashtag Single. Jeannette asks, "How do I get over podcaster's block?"

Fortunately... I've got some tried & true strategies for you!
