When I launched the Podcast Strategy Intensive, I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would go for strategy without production support. Would it be valuable enough on its own? Turns out, it was a game changer. 

Over the past two years, I’ve seen how these Intensives transform podcasts into true business assets. But there was still something missing—a way to support podcasters at different stages of their journey.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’m breaking down why I started offering Intensives, why there are now two versions to choose from, and what working with me looks like in each. Plus, I’m sharing some updates that make it easier than ever to book an Intensive and get started.

3:00 - Why Podcast Strategy Intensives exist

10:30 - Why there are now two versions of the Intensive to choose from

12:20 - One change in how I work with you on the new version available

14:45 - What you can expect in the evolved version that’s existed for the past two years

18:34 - Two more beneficial changes to the Intensives that you need to be aware of

Two years after it first aired, I’m bringing back one of my favorite episodes that shows how to keep content relevant and impactful long-term.

Why? Because this episode has helped countless listeners unlock endless content ideas. It’s also a great example of how a well-built episode can keep working for you—without constantly reinventing the wheel.

In this re-release, I’ve kept the original calls to action so you can see firsthand how much value this episode still holds, even with those dated pieces. The rest? 100% evergreen.


Marketing “gurus” love to give the same type of advice online. On social media sites like TikTok, one of the more prolific pieces of advice is looking up questions asked using a tool like AnswerThePublic. That can be great for brainstorming or refining content ideas or getting clarity on keywords. But there are two places where you can truly find a never-ending stream of quality content ideas.

In this episode, I reveal what my two favorite ways to find content ideas and how I use them to generate content that speaks to my ideal clients.

3:39 – My #1 favorite way to get content ideas

6:31 – Another way this benefits you as a long-time service provider

10:14 – My second favorite way to get content ideas

12:23 – The very specific kind of podcast Uncommonly More produces

14:55 – Examples of how I’ve applied this second technique to this podcast

You’re a new podcaster wanting to put yourself in the best position to succeed right away. Or you’re an established host who is looking to stay relevant or gain more success. And you’re seeing this phenomenon that has you asking yourself, “Should I be doing that?”

That phenomenon is video. It feels like everything online these days has video attached to it somehow. Sure, some of the most popular websites and social media platforms are all about video. But you also see video ads pop up all the time now when visiting websites, and more podcasters use video as a (if not the main) way to release their episodes.

So if, in noticing all this, you’ve wondered whether you too should be using video for your audio podcast in some capacity, you’re not alone. In fact, this question has come up for our private podcast, but it’s so prevalent that I’m bringing it here to the main show, too.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn the pros and cons of using video content in your audio podcast and a simple way to start adding it if you'd like. I’ll also cover the flip side and reveal the pros and cons of sticking with audio only.

2:40 - The energy surrounding the question of whether or not to add video to your audio podcast

7:02 - The pros and cons of incorporating video content into your podcast

12:42 - The pros and cons of an audio-only podcast

17:06 - A recommendation if you want to look at adding a video component to your show

Busy season will be here before you know it. Now that it’s the fourth quarter, you’re not going to have as much time to sit down and record new podcast content.

You have to keep your show going and your business running, though. So how can you make sure your audience and future clients still have a reason to engage with you and your podcast over the next three months? Content repurposing to the rescue!

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll discover how you can re-purpose and re-release old episodes quickly and easily. I’ll also discuss a few ways to repurpose non-podcast content so that you’re still leveraging what you’ve already created and engaging with potential right-fit clients.

11:18 - More examples of what’s possible with repurposing and re-releasing episodes of your podcast

You know that old saying, “Make money while you sleep”? With a well-structured podcast, you can start to do exactly that. Your podcast should work as an extension of your sales team, converting listeners into clients even when you’re not actively engaging.

But are your podcast episodes—specifically the calls to action (CTAs)—actually driving listeners to take action? Let’s not run on feeling alone, let’s do an audit so we can find out what’s really happening.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’ll guide you through how to audit your CTAs effectively to ensure they are working as powerful sales tools. We'll cover three key elements you need to evaluate, and I encourage you to follow along with your best sales-focused episode in mind.

5:40 - Why the placement of your free vs. paid CTAs within episodes needs scrutiny

10:49 - How many calls to action per episode I recommend and the missing contextual piece for many podcasters

13:07 - How to make sure that the ask you’re making with your call-to-action makes sense

18:09 - How to make it easy for your listeners to take action when you make the ask

Do you fear that you’ve been giving away too much free content on your podcast, and it’s affecting your sales?

This is one of the most common concerns when it comes to any type of content creation, and I’ve been there myself. So to shift your show into being a sales asset and not just a content machine, how should you approach what you share with potential clients on your podcast?

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn three things that’ll help you overcome this fear of giving away too much and hindering your sales. I’ll cover three strategies to help you feel comfortable sharing content and turn your free content fears into strengths instead.

1:17 - Why this is a common concern and why it’s worth addressing

7:36 - How detailed case studies are trust builders for your potential clients (and save you from educating them on the how-to of doing what you do)

11:47 - The difference between educating to prove your expertise and educating to empower your audience

17:24 - Why transparency about your process doesn’t make your services less valuable and the psychological advantage it gives you

24:04 - What to do next as you go through the upcoming content you have planned
