Proven Strategies to Grow Your Business with a Podcast (Even If You’re Starting Small)
Manage episode 487890329 series 2608033
What if securing professional opportunities is less about networking and more about being a decent person? In a conversation with Lisa Cooper Ellison, a trauma-informed writing coach and host of the "Writing Your Resilience" podcast, we explore how authentic connections can open unexpected doors in content creation.
Lisa shares how her first major speaking opportunity on NPR arose from connecting with fellow writers rather than a strategic pitch. "These industries are small," she notes, emphasizing the importance of relationships in her work.
She discusses her journey from agency therapist to writing coach and podcaster, highlighting the benefits of consistent content creation in enhancing her skills and shaping her coaching programs. Lisa also candidly addresses the challenges of maintaining a podcast amid personal and professional obstacles, offering practical advice for dealing with self-doubt and disruptions.
Her metaphor of hill-running encourages creators to focus on the immediate path rather than the overwhelming larger picture. "Let progress, not perfection, be your North Star," she says.
Lisa’s insights provide a valuable framework for anyone looking to grow their content creation journey. Subscribe to the podcast for more conversations on developing your voice and building genuine connections.
