23. Thinking of starting a podcast? How (& why) to start a podcast w/ my producer Hayleigh Hayhurst

Happy new year magic makers!!

Can you believe it is 2022? This year, I challenge you all to share your voice more than ever before.
Today’s topic is about Podcasting, but more than just that… It’s about the confidence to stop silencing yourself and sharing your voice with the world.

When you google “How To Start A Podcast” can be so overwhelming. The first thing that you should do when you think about starting a podcast is sitting down and talking (out loud!) about what you want your message, topics, and goals to be. Then from there, you can design the podcast.

Finding your voice isn’t just about business, it is about finding who you are as a person. You don’t know who needs to hear your story, so just start the podcast. The world is a better place when we listen to each other.

That's why I invited my podcast producer, Hayleigh Hayhurst to be a guest on the podcast today! Hayleigh is the owner of Espresso Podcast Production, a full-service podcast agency specializing in editing, marketing, and strategy. She helps business owners increase their revenue by strengthening their podcast strategy. Hayleigh encourages people just to start their podcasts. Whether they have a producer or just friends who hold them accountable, you just need to do it.

Hayleigh started her podcast journey in college where she co-hosted a Pro Wrestling Podcast called Wrestling Winedown with her friend Lo. After college, she planned on moving to Cambodia with the Peace Corps to teach English, but then COVID hit and she was delayed. At that point, she decided to move to Seattle and start her podcast editing and coaching business.

Hayleigh shares so much free content on her Instagram (@espressopodcastproduction) and in her Facebook Group, “Espresso Growth - for Podcasters, Entrepreneurs, and Industry Leaders.”
