BUSINESS: Why EVERY Business Needs a PODCAST to Succeed

“You don’t know where one conversation is gonna take you. So have it.” — Greg WassermanI absolutely loved this conversation with Greg Wasserman — it’s one of those episodes where I found myself nodding the entire time. Greg is the Head of Relationships at RSS.com and he gets it. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered why your business needs a podcast, how to use it as a true marketing and relationship-building tool, and why chasing downloads is not the goal.Greg and I are 100% aligned: podcasting is about building trust, creating genuine human connection, and showing up consistently. Whether you're a lawyer, real estate agent, or startup founder, this episode will reframe how you think about podcast ROI.Key Talking Points- Your podcast isn’t about going viral; it’s about connecting with your niche and creating value.- A podcast gives you a reason to talk to clients, prospects, and partners — and build trust.- One episode can fuel newsletters, social media, blog posts, and more — for weeks or even years.- Unless you’re a media company, sponsorships are more work than they’re worth. Focus on impact instead.- Just like websites or social media pages, podcasts are becoming a core part of modern business strategy.Chapters and Timestamps03:00: Why podcasting isn't about becoming a superstar or going viral06:30: The lawyer story — using a podcast as a business development tool09:00: Building trust and marketing others through podcasting13:35: The fishing podcast example — how niche can drive connection18:00: Real-world ROI from a single podcast episode21:00: Why sponsorships aren’t the right goal for most podcasters28:30: Podcasting vs. traditional marketing (like expos and booths)Send us Fan MailBook a free call with me here to help you create the best podcast possible!
