Does this sound familiar?
- You dream of sharing your story on a podcast… but the thought of “Tell me about yourself” makes you freeze.
- You’ve looked at podcasts you love, but you have no idea how to pitch yourself — or if they’d even say yes.
- You wonder what gear you really need (and you don’t want to sound unprofessional).
- You know podcast guesting could grow your audience, but you don’t know how to turn one interview into lasting impact.
If you’ve been nodding along, you’re not alone. Most first-time guests feel nervous and underprepared.
Imagine this instead…
- A podcast host asks you to introduce yourself and you deliver a confident 60-second story that connects instantly.
- You have a Dream 25 podcast list ready — and pitches already sent.
- You show up with simple, reliable gear, sounding like a pro from the start.
- You finish an interview with a clear call-to-action that grows your email list.
- You repurpose that one interview into blog posts, reels, newsletters, and even a book excerpt.
That’s what’s waiting for you inside The Confident Podcast Guest.
