The Little-Known Podcast Formula That Got Me A TV Deal — Kim Sorrelle | Ep 51

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the amazing Kim Sorrelle, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Kim Sorrelle Show: Love Is Podcast. We dove into how a personal journey—marked by resilience, love, loss, and self-discovery—led her to launch a podcast dedicated to sharing stories of hope and inspiration. Kim opened up about how the show changed her life, even landing her a TV hosting gig, and shared honest insights into the behind-the-scenes of growing her platform, from YouTube mishaps to finding the right team. We geeked out over podcast tech, guest strategies, and the real meaning of love. I hope this chat inspires you to embrace your own story, trust your instincts, and remember: human connection is truly at the heart of it all.Connect with Kim SorrelleListeners who want to connect further with Kim Sorrelle can find her on her YouTube channel or visit her website.
