Hey Besties!
I’m so excited to announce that Podcast Bestie is officially back for Season 2, and this season has one mission: deconstructing the major milestones that change the trajectory of a show.
I’m sitting down with creators who’ve reached milestones most of us aspire to—booking A-list guests, hitting 10K+ downloads per episode, landing major sponsors, going full-time, signing with a network, creating viral clips, building thriving membership communities, growing massive YouTube audiences, monetizing their channels, turning podcasts into books, TV shows, and more—and they’re taking us behind the scenes to share how they got there.
We’re talking real numbers, actionable strategies, unexpected mistakes, mindset shifts, revenue, workflows, tradeoffs, and the lessons that only come from actually doing the work.
Season 2 is packed with practical advice you can put to work immediately. I hope these conversations help you reach your next milestone a little faster.
Subscribe on your favorite podcast app, subscribe to the Podcast Bestie newsletter on Substack, and get ready for a season of honest, inspiring conversations about what it really takes to build a successful podcast.
Let’s do this.
XO,
Courtney
P.S. My So You Want to Start a Podcast? seminar via WritingWorkshops.com is this Sunday! Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to uplevel your process and promotion, I'll walk you through everything you need to create, launch, and grow a successful podcast. You'll also learn how to test the waters on Substack before making a bigger commitment. If you've been podcast-curious, I'd love to see you there! Learn more and register here.
Also, vote for my proposed Podcast Movement sessions here. If they get picked, I promise to bring all the big lessons back to the Besties, per usual.
So… ROLL CALL! 🗣
What podcasting milestones do you want deconstructed? Any podcasters you'd love to hear from in Season 2?
