How would your business change if your niche could access your expertise 24/7? If you’re still on the fence about starting a podcast, well… you might want to check this out! Here's exactly why our client Mark Hansen of Second Comma chose podcasting ⬇️ #BeYourOwnLoud #AdvisorMarketing #Podcasting P.S. Love the part about how podcasting can capture an advisor’s “goofiness.” 😜 Your you-ness — quirks and all — is your differentiator!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: a podcast is the best and most intimate way to build your authority and grow your business. We’ll shout it from the rooftops, the mountain tops, and the bottom of the sea (although that last one might be difficult 🌊🤿)! But why might a podcast *fail* to turn listeners into clients? Kirk Lowe asked our resident podcast expert, Matt Halloran, that very question. Matt’s response? 3 main reasons: 1/ You’re not speaking *directly* to your ideal clients in language and terms *they* understand. 2/ You’re not solving a *particular* problem of theirs. 3/ XXXX XXXXX XX (Editor’s note: answer redacted, watch the short clip below 😜)! #BeYourOwnLoud #AdvisorMarketing #FinancialAdvisor P.S Want help?
