One Hundred Episodes of Hope: My Relentless Podcasting Journey — Sandy Kibling | Ep 71

If you want to make your podcast more valuable for listeners — especially if you cover complex topics — this episode is for you. I sit down with Sandy Kibling, host of “Get Savvy Demystifying Healthcare,” to talk about how she simplifies the confusing world of healthcare on her show. You’ll hear practical ways to build trust with your audience, even if you’re just starting out and don’t have big download numbers. Sandy shares why storytelling matters more than statistics and how sharing guest stories can turn listeners into loyal fans. We also talk about how she books guests, her workflow from start to finish (including her favorite tools for saving time), and how she’s connecting her podcast to her business for new income streams.Listen in to learn:How to find and nurture guests that will make your podcast more helpful and relatableWays to use your podcast as a bridge to your business, even before you have sponsors or paid adsSimple strategies for workflow and automation, even if you’re not “techy”Connect With Sandy KiblingWebsite: https://advocatehealthcareconsulting.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandywilliams1/If My Podcast Story speaks to you, consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
