Had a great time connecting with Lauren Tickner this week on the show. We cover so many actionable strategies to help you grow your podcast immediately and also have one that stands out among the crowd. Lauren and I bounce ideas back and forth and cover what she teaches her students. You’ll learn: How to use Instagram to grow your show with Lauren's best strategies. How to lock down big-name guests for your show.
