292. The Podcast-First Business Model: How to Use Your Podcast as a Powerhouse Profit Funnel | Interview with Stefanie Gass

YOUR BIG NEXT | business growth, leadership development, scaling with purpose, faith and family first entrepreneur

In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m joined by Stefanie Gass—a powerhouse business coach, podcasting strategist, and faith-filled founder who’s built a wildly successful business by doing things differently.

Stef’s story is one a lot of us can relate to: starting out in hustle-heavy network marketing, hitting a wall, and realizing that success without alignment just isn’t it. Through clarity, obedience, and a bold leap into podcasting, she built a kingdom business that not only thrives—but serves deeply.

We talk about the real journey behind her growth, what it looks like to create a profitable podcast without the burnout, and how podcasting can be one of the most powerful tools for building trust, nurturing community, and growing your business with long-term momentum.
