Today, let's uncover the two critical mistakes that might be holding you back from establishing yourself as the go-to authority in your industry. If you're a service-based business owner like me, you know that turning your podcast into a trust-building, authority-boosting tool is not just a goal; it's the key to driving conversions.

We’ll start by covering effective guest strategies—the first potential pitfall on our journey. While featuring guests is undeniably powerful, I'm here to warn you against drowning your voice in a cacophony of others. I'll guide you toward a more strategic approach that enriches your content and propels your audience toward conversion.

But that's not all—let's flip the script. I'll tackle the scenario where some podcasters inadvertently downplay their expertise. That’s right, it’s time to remind you about the importance of clear calls to action, steering your audience toward that tangible next step. It's not just about showcasing your smarts but crafting a journey that seamlessly leads to conversions.
