Problem: Was pivoting her business away from gluten-free nutrition to focus on natural skin health.

Had an existing show that was getting ~2k dl/mo but was looking to start fresh with a new show on her new topic.

Wanted to be seen as the expert. On her past show, she pushed a lot of traffic (and sales) to her guests but struggled to get her audience to buy from her.

Success: Before even launching, had lined up 3-months worth of sponsors at $800/ep.

Racked up 9,500 downloads in her first month. Within 6 months was averaging 20k dl/mo. Now has over a million total downloads.
10x’ed her health coaching practice’s income within 6 months of launching.

Raised her prices 3 times in the first year and still had a waitlist longer than she could handle.

80% of her clients now come from the podcast.

Show: Fashion Designers Get Paid

Rebranded and refocused her show & within weeks was ranking as the #2 show for her primary keyword in Apple Podcasts.

Landed her first sponsor for an initial $2k campaign. Is currently in deep in talks with two additional brand she loves about potential 5–6-figure sponsorship deals.

I’m only halfway through and in the past month alone we’ve seen both our listeners and subscribers double.”

“Since enrolling in PMA my show has grown consistently nearly every month. Each of the last 6 months have been among my highest in terms of downloads.”

“I was questioning myself like, ‘Do I know what I’m doing? Do I know my audience? Do I know what I’m presenting? Am I just throwing things out there? Is there a plan here?’

Going into it, I felt like there wasn’t a clear enough focus about what I wanted. How I wanted my message to come across about what I wanted the podcast to be.

Defining my podcast promise, clarifying who I want to target and then how I’m going to reach them and what action I want them to take down the road, that all felt really overwhelming, especially because the show was already created. I wasn’t starting from a blank slate.

But PMA helped me really define those things and made me realize, ‘Yeah, I can fix it, I can do these things and bring more focus and more intention, and be really clear about who I want this to serve.

On a practical level, even though I’ve been doing my show for two years, The Academy was really helpful. One, in helping create more structure around the episodes themselves with the storytelling aspect and the different potential formats.

And then two, with the structure of the show content as a whole, really making the content flow and be more cohesive, intentional.

Before The Academy, my episodes were kind of hit or miss. I was throwing spaghetti at the wall, and being like, “Is it gonna stick? Will people like this?”

Now, I can see in my download numbers already, where I was staying consistent at 1,500 downloads per episode, now I’m up to, 2,300 downloads.

I’m better organized, better able to present the story or the topic we’re talking about in a way that’s engaging.

Before, there wasn’t that purpose to it, it was like, ‘Well, I’m just going to interview this person, and we’ll see what people get out of it…’

Now in every episode, I’m working towards this goal of getting them to be engaged, wanting to listen more and come back again and again. Of course, that’s what I wanted before, but I wasn’t doing it strategically.

PMA has brought the joy of podcasting back for me. My download numbers are increasing, which is exciting, and I have a better sense of how the show fits into my business. But also, it’s made it lighter. It’s just made it easier.”

“I’m only halfway through and in the past month alone we’ve seen both our listeners and subscribers double.

It’s not just seeing our subscribers and our listeners go up, however. One of the best the most unexpected benefits of doing PMA is that it has reignited my love for podcasting and also reminded me why I’m doing this.

I really want to produce interesting, fun, and exciting content and PMA has reawakened me to that while giving me the power to produce exactly the type of show I’ve always wanted.

When I first joined PMA, I approached Jeremy and I said, “Look, this is something I’m passionate about, this is something I want to dedicate my life to.”

This is my career, I’m employed full-time as a podcast expert within a marketing team but I don’t have all the answers.

I’m willing to accept that but I want them and I want to go out there and I want to be better and I want to produce the best content I can.

PMA I can honestly say has not just lived up to my expectations but exceeded them.

And as for Jeremy, he is a really great teacher and I’m not just saying that because I’m still in the program, I really do mean that.

It’s a really engaging experience not only to have this direct opportunity to speak with someone that is so knowledgeable about this industry but also it’s just great to be in a program where I am joined by so many other like-minded people that are as passionate as I am about producing interesting content that people genuinely want to hear and that adds value to their lives.”

“Going through the Academy was more information than I was ever anticipating and the calls really helped out, but having the homework assignments where you actually had to post something to the group, I think that was the biggest thing.

Just the video lesson would have been totally fine, but I don’t think it would have stuck as much if there hadn’t been the expectation of doing the homework assignments, and then also the accountability and that little bit of added pressure to go and comment on someone else’s work.

Because no one wants to hear that what you’re doing is wrong. But it gives you a different perspective to take a step back and say, “You know, I am doing something wrong, and that’s why I’m here. And that’s ok, but there’s something that’s not working and I’m going to figure it out.” So sharing my own experiences, seeing other people’s experiences as I went through The Academy really helped shed light on those issues.

One of the things that I started to notice reading the homework and responses from other people was that while I could implement what I learned in the Academy in my own show, I could also make suggestions for other people’s shows.

It’s so much easier to be objective when it’s not your own show, but at the same time, it makes me even more accountable to be like, “Well now I have to step it up and show that I’m taking my own advice.

The Academy has given me the fire again to be excited about new projects. Even with my old show, I’m glad that I ended it, but just since the start of the Academy, the downloads have been going up even though I’m not posting new episodes. Just because I understand how to market and promote it better.

I’m making smarter decisions and utilizing my time more wisely than before. It’s really opened my eyes to a lot of opportunities that I knew were but just hadn’t taken the opportunity to take advantage of to the extent of my ability.

Based on the calls, the community, and the content, I would have paid at least four times what I paid for The Academy. It was way more in-depth than I anticipated.”

“This was hands down one of the best programs I’ve ever taken.

I remember Jeremy saying, “Most of you are not going to end up being like Amy Porterfield,” basically. And I was like, “Oh, but what if I want to be the Amy Porterfield?” But as time went on and in the way that the content was structured, I started to understand that it doesn’t matter if I’m as big as Amy Porterfield. I don’t need that. I don’t need to have the biggest podcast to have a successful business. I just need to have the right listeners.

Although I’d been producing my show for years already, I realized there were things that I hadn’t been doing. So when Jeremy mentioned them, I was like, “Okay, well, this would totally shift things if I implemented this.

One of the things with doing the Academy that was a really pivotal thing for me was “Where are you putting your energy?” How funny that it was something about my podcast that made me realize what I needed for my business. You would think I would have signed up for a business program and got that, but I got that here. And to me, that’s huge. Because I didn’t intend to give up the podcast, but I did need to make it work for me. And now I feel so much more excited about it than ever.

I now tell friends of mine that are serious about the podcasts, “You need to take this program. Even if you think you know everything, there are things you don’t know.” I know a lot of people and they’re like “Well, I know what I’m doing.” I’m like “No, you don’t.”

This experience was priceless. Jeremy really went above and beyond. I’ve taken a lot of courses. I’ve done a lot of programs. I’ve been at the beginning stages of a lot of programs from people that later got big. And I found that how this program was structured was super helpful.

My confidence in the podcast is through the roof. I really was able to see the value I provide as a host and stand in my own worth. Now that I’ve spent the time learning and implementing, I think the next few months will make a huge difference when it comes to seeing growth.

I’m getting really great feedback from the show. In some of the more recent shows that I have done, I’ve had friends reach out from all over the place and said, Oh, I just listened to your latest episode. And oh, my gosh, it was really, really good. And I really resonated with it.

I’m noticing that the tweaks I’ve made are making a difference where people are now actually noticing and reposting episodes.

Definitely take it. Do it. It’s awesome. Like 100%”

The stuff you taught me, no shit, changed my life. It made my podcast more fun to do and easier to maintain. In fact, I am now launching 2 additional mini-episodes a week without a lot of effort. All because of what you taught me.

“There is lot of conflicting advice about podcast marketing out there. I used to download a lot of marketing checklists and such but in the end, I was always still confused.

PMA has given me the real fundamentals and a clear roadmap of not just podcast marketing but marketing as a whole.

Plus the community is super supportive and helps if I have any questions pertaining to my show and my business.”

I’ve learned so much from PMA that I didn’t even expect was going to be associated with the program that’s ended up opening up these other doors. Many more doors than I ever would have imagined.”

What stands out from Jeremy is that he’s so genuine. Quite often when I’m doing courses, I don’t get that sense from the instructor. I feel that a lot of it is about them, and their business, and what they want for themselves, rather than genuinely looking for the best for the cohort. I think that’s a big part of Jeremy’s uniqueness.”
