The Business Podcast Spotlight

Small Business Owners know that podcasting can be a valuable and profitable part of their marketing – but the gap between knowing it can be that way, and actually seeing the results on your balance sheet can be huge.

The Business Podcast Spotlight is filling that gap.

Each episode is a strategic consultation about how a real business owner is leveraging a show, and how they can do it better. Better, for our purposes, means more efficiently, more effectively, and more profitably.

Guests who make changes and see results will be invited back to share what they did, what happened and how you can make revenue-positive changes to your show as well – so watch this space! Enter your name and email below to receive every business case study conversation in your inbox. 

The Business Podcast Spotlight is hosted by Megan Dougherty, Co-Founder of One Stone Creative, a full-service podcast production agency that offers ongoing production, DFY Podcast Sprints and podcast network development.

She is the author of Podcasting for Business: How to Create a Show That Makes a Bottom Line Difference for Your Company and creator of the annual State of Business Podcasting Report.
