David Abel is the founder of Digital Lightbulb, a branding and e-commerce consultancy. But despite his expertise, his podcast wasn’t driving the business results he wanted.

In this candid conversation, I help David understand why more listeners isn't the best goal, how to create clear and compelling offers, and how to leverage value-based fees effectively. We dive deep into practical ways David can position himself clearly, improve his online presence, and turn podcast conversations into meaningful business opportunities.
