  • Human Design for Aligned Growth

    Human Design for Aligned Growth
    Oct 28 2025
    Special Guest Stefanie Carlstedt stefcarlstedt.com/hdreport Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed! I’m your host, Karen Roberts — and in today’s conversation, we’re diving deep into a topic that’s changing the way entrepreneurs approach growth and success: Human Design. My guest, Stefanie Carlstedt, helps heart-led entrepreneurs build aligned, sustainable businesses by using human design to tailor their marketing, sales, and strategy to who they truly are. After years of burnout and loss, Stefanie found Human Design and realized that success isn’t about following every “guru” system — it’s about honoring your unique blueprint. In this powerful conversation, we explore how aligning your business with your natural energy can eliminate burnout, boost creativity, and create results that actually feel good. Stefanie shares how understanding your Human Design type reveals your most natural way of communicating, attracting clients, and making decisions. I loved how she explained that burnout doesn’t come from doing too much — it comes from doing things that aren’t aligned with who you are. When you align your actions with your design, everything flows more easily. We also talked about the “new era of individuality” — where authenticity and self-trust will define success. In a world full of noise, Stefanie believes the entrepreneurs who thrive will be those who deeply know themselves and build their businesses around that awareness. Key Takeaways (from me as the host): ✨ Success comes when you stop following everyone else’s blueprint and start trusting your own. ✨ Burnout is a symptom of misalignment, not overwork. ✨ Understanding your Human Design helps you market, sell, and serve in a way that feels natural. ✨ Comparison fades when you embrace your unique purpose. ✨ Authenticity is the new currency in business. 🎧 Tune in now to discover how Human Design can help you build a business (and life) that feels effortless, authentic, and aligned. 👉 Access Stefanie’s free Human Design starter bundle at stephcarlstedt.com/hdreport 👉 Subscribe to Podcast Profits Unleashed on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it!

In this episode, I dove deep into one of the biggest truths no one tells you about podcast guesting: visibility alone doesn’t create conversions. You can have the most inspiring story and deliver incredible value on every show, but without the right backend system, all that momentum ends when the episode does. I used to make the same mistake — showing up, giving value, and ending with, “Book a call if you want to know more.” No one booked. Why? Because the next step was too big, too soon. That’s when I discovered how to create a backend monetization system that keeps the conversation going long after the interview ends — turning listeners into real clients, effortlessly. Now, podcast guesting is fun and profitable. I no longer chase DMs, post daily, or do endless sales calls. I show up for 30 minutes, share deeply, and let my system do the work — nurturing and qualifying the right people 24/7 in a way that feels authentic. Here’s what I learned (and what you’ll take away from this episode): ✨ Clarity converts — give one clear next step, not five different links. ✨ Belief-shifting content builds connection faster than sales pitches. ✨ Automation can feel authentic when it’s built around genuine value. ✨ Guesting first creates momentum — your podcast becomes the next step, not the first leap. ✨ Aligned systems = effortless sales and real ROI from your podcast appearances. If you’re tired of doing all the “right things” and still not seeing results, this episode will change the way you think about podcast guesting forever. 💡 Ready to turn your guest appearances into a revenue-generating machine?

  • Get More Clients by Doing Less

    Get More Clients by Doing Less
    Oct 21 2025
    Special Guest Mary Cravets To help focus their efforts, complete the quiz on my size at https://simplygetclients.com. This offers serious direction and tools, rather than just being a fluffy time-waster. Welcome to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mary Cravets, an expert who helps busy entrepreneurs and service-based professionals attract more clients and increase their income by 50% or more—without working nights and weekends. If you’ve ever felt like your business requires endless hustle, this episode is a must-listen. Mary shared her personal story of hitting extreme adrenal exhaustion just two years into her business, with only four hours of energy per week to work while providing half of her household income. From that place of desperation, she discovered the transformative question: “What’s working?” By focusing only on what produced real results, she dropped 80% of the frantic marketing efforts and built a system that grew her business effortlessly. We dive deep into her practical strategies for simplifying client generation, including: identifying your top clients, tracking which marketing strategies actually bring results, and creating predictable referral systems. Mary emphasizes specificity—knowing exactly who your clients are, how to reach them, and what lead generation activities to prioritize. Some of the biggest takeaways I had from this episode: ✨ I don’t need to do everything—only what works. ✨ Focusing on measurable results instead of “ego metrics” like likes or views creates real business growth. ✨ Referrals can be predictable when you build strategic “centers of influence” relationships. ✨ Having processes and systems in place allows me to detach from the outcome and keep my business running even during life’s curveballs. ✨ A well-designed client generation system saves time, reduces stress, and increases income while preserving the freedom I want. Mary also shares a free introductory class she offers on building a client generation system—perfect for anyone ready to cut through the noise, stop spinning their wheels, and finally see real results. If you’re ready to stop working harder and start working smarter, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to get more clients and grow your business without sacrificing your time or energy. 👉 Claim your free class and access the Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint here: https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free You can reach Mary through these links Website: https://simplygetclients.com/about/speaking/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-cravets/ Welcome back to Podcast Profits Unleashed! Today, I’m tackling a question I know so many entrepreneurs, coaches, and service-based professionals struggle with: How do I actually get an ROI from my podcast guest appearances? If you’ve ever finished an interview feeling like you crushed it—shared your story, dropped value bombs, made the host laugh—and then… crickets, you’re not alone. I used to do the same thing. I’d show up, give my best, and wonder why no new followers, DMs, or buyers came through. Visibility alone isn’t conversion. Being a great guest doesn’t automatically lead to results. In this episode, I share the exact mindset and strategy shift that changed everything for me: stop showing up just to impress and start showing up to guide. I now treat every guest appearance like a strategic touchpoint, not just a conversation. That means planting the problem early, sharing real client wins, and giving listeners a clear, actionable next step. Some key takeaways I had from implementing this approach: ✨ I focus on guiding, not impressing—usefulness converts. ✨ Specificity matters: I clearly name the problem my ideal client faces and show exactly how I solve it. ✨ Sharing client stories builds trust and belief. ✨ Every guest appearance is a warm audience—my job is to offer the next logical step. ✨ A clear call to action allows me to sell without feeling “salesy.” I also walk listeners through practical steps to make their podcast guest appearances pay off, including planting problems, showcasing client wins, and offering tangible next steps. We are launching a new mini course! If you want to grab it, go to podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free. At the moment, it’s a workshop around launching your own podcast, but register now so we can send you the details once it launches. Stop hoping for leads—start creating them. Tune in, take notes, and transform every guest appearance into a revenue-generating opportunity.

  • Growing Your Business Without The Hustle

    Growing Your Business Without The Hustle
    Oct 14 2025

    Special Guest Kanika Vasudeva

    👉 Book a Breakthrough Call with me to understand what’s really standing in your way and receive 2–3 practical recommendations you can start applying right away. https://artoflifecenter.com/call

    In this week’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Kanika Vasudeva, an Energy Expansion Coach and Bold Expansion Mentor who helps visionary leaders grow their wealth, visibility, and impact — without the burnout. From the moment we started talking, I could feel her passion for helping coaches and entrepreneurs shift from constant hustle into genuine alignment and ease.

    Kanika shared her journey of leaving a successful corporate career to follow a calling that felt “bigger than her.” She now blends energetic clearing, intuitive coaching, and practical business strategy to help others expand from a place of energy abundance rather than depletion. What really stood out to me was her belief that we aren’t just business owners — we’re co-creators with our business. When we learn to trust that flow, things begin to align almost magically.

    We explored how easy it is to get lost in “shoulds” — trying to follow every guru’s advice — instead of trusting our own intuition. Kanika’s approach is all about clearing the noise and tuning in to what truly feels right for you.

    A few powerful takeaways that stayed with me: ✨ Get out of your own way. Most of the time, what’s blocking us isn’t the algorithm or the market — it’s our own resistance. ✨ Allow yourself to be seen. Your story, your vulnerability, and even your imperfections are what make people connect with you. ✨ Expand your capacity. Make space for growth — whether that’s adjusting your pricing, setting boundaries, or getting support before you feel “ready.” ✨ Trust your intuition. You already know the next right step — you just need to listen.

    Kanika also shared her own wins from being a podcast guest and talked about her show, The Art of Life Podcast, where she continues these empowering conversations.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck or overworked, this episode will remind you that your greatest growth comes when you stop forcing and start allowing.

  • You're Not Behind...You Simply Haven't Started

    You're Not Behind...You Simply Haven't Started
    Sep 16 2025
    Special Guest Willie Blake https://coachwillieblake.com/freegift In this episode of Profits Unleashed, I dive into a conversation that hits close to home for so many of us: the belief that we’re “behind.” My guest, Coach Willie Blake—a dyslexic career and high-performance coach—shares his journey of transforming self-doubt into confidence and clarity, and why it’s never too late to start. His story is proof that progress doesn’t come from comparing yourself to others—it comes from taking small, consistent steps toward your goals. Key Takeaways I want you to hear today: You’re not behind—you simply haven’t started yet. Labels don’t define you. You’re not “lazy” or “a procrastinator”; you just have habits you can shift. Small daily action compounds. Willie’s “2% Rule” shows how steady progress leads to extraordinary change. Clarity is essential. His GPS Method (Get clarity, Plan it, Start now) is a simple framework to break down any big goal. Flexibility in the journey matters more than rigid control—hold onto the vision, but stay open to how you get there. Willie’s personal story is inspiring. Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, he spent years feeling “behind” his peers. Instead of giving up, he reframed his challenges into fuel for growth. By leaning into tools like audiobooks and coaching, he went from struggling to read a single book to consistently absorbing 60 books a year. That shift didn’t just expand his knowledge—it helped him step into his calling as a coach who empowers neurodivergent entrepreneurs and professionals to see their unique edge as an advantage. What stood out to me most is Willie’s perspective on labels. When we say “I am this,” we box ourselves in. But when we shift to “I have this,” we reclaim power. That subtle language shift opens the door for growth, self-compassion, and change. If you’ve ever felt stuck, compared yourself to others, or believed you were too far behind to start—this conversation is for you. You can connect with Willie at coachwillieblake.com, where he shares resources, coaching opportunities, and his podcast. And stay tuned—after the break, I’ll be debunking the myth that it’s too late to start your own podcast. Spoiler: it’s not. YouTube – Dyslexic Achievers Hub https://www.youtube.com/@DyslexicAchieversHub LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/willieblake-light/ Community (Skool) https://coachwillieblake.com/community Instagram https://www.instagram.com/willieblake_light/ Facebook (Personal Profile) https://www.facebook.com/WillieBlake.Light/ YouTube – Coach Willie Blake https://www.youtube.com/@WillieBlake_Light So many people believe the myth that it’s too late to start a podcast. After listening to my conversation with Coach Willie Blake, I couldn’t help but notice how often we fall into the trap of thinking we’re behind just because we compare ourselves to those further along. And the truth? You’re not behind—you simply haven’t started yet. Key Takeaways from this episode: It’s not too late to start a podcast—there’s more room than you think. Over 80% of podcasts are inactive, meaning consistency is your greatest advantage. Most podcasters quit too soon; those who keep going quickly stand out. Listeners crave authenticity and niche voices, not just celebrity shows. Your story matters—the people who need it are still waiting to hear it. Here’s the reality: there are around 5 million podcasts worldwide, but fewer than 20% are actively producing new episodes. That means the space isn’t oversaturated—it’s full of abandoned shows. Consistency, not timing, is what separates the ones that thrive from the ones that disappear. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: 90% of podcasts don’t make it past three episodes, and of the ones that do, most never get past 20. That’s not discouraging—it’s an opportunity. If you commit to showing up, you’re already ahead of the majority. Podcasting is still growing, audiences are expanding, and new listeners are tuning in every day. They’re not just searching for big names; they’re searching for voices that resonate with their unique struggles, interests, and goals. That could be you. Just like Willie’s story reminded us, your challenges don’t disqualify you—they can become your strength. Whether you’re navigating dyslexia, ADHD, or simply the doubts that whisper “you’re too late,” the moment you start and stay consistent, you’ve already set yourself apart. I’m grateful every day that I kept going, that I didn’t stop when it felt tough, and that I get to share this platform with you. Your story deserves to be heard, and the world is waiting for it.

  • The Revenue Zipper: Marketing + Sales = Revenue

    The Revenue Zipper: Marketing + Sales = Revenue
    Sep 2 2025

    Special Guest Kyle Mealy

    https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/revenue-cascade

    If you’ve ever wondered why your business feels stuck — despite working hard on your marketing or your sales — this episode is for you.

    This week, I sat down with Kyle Andrews, CEO and Founder of Next Level Revenue and author of The Next Level Revenue Formula. Kyle has a fascinating journey from lab manager, to karate school owner, to leading a multimillion-dollar marketing and sales company. What ties it all together? His obsession with process, data, and creating predictable results.

    Here are my key takeaways from our conversation:

    • Marketing and sales aren’t two separate departments — together, they form the “revenue zipper” that keeps growth predictable and profits flowing.
    • Optimization is everything. Kyle learned early on that when you tweak the right part of a process, you unlock exponential results.
    • Revenue growth is math, not magic. With the right system, you can literally predict your results.
    • Many entrepreneurs focus on topline numbers but forget profitability — the real goal is profitable revenue.
    • Podcasting, when integrated into a larger ecosystem, isn’t just about visibility. It’s a powerful sales strategy to build trust and move prospects closer to working with you.
    • Stop relying on outdated metrics like “7 touches” — today, buyers may need 30+ interactions before they’re ready to buy. Kyle’s approach: “Seven times, seven ways.”

    In this episode, Kyle shares the exact frameworks he’s created to help businesses remove the silos between sales and marketing, measure ROI with clarity, and build systems that don’t just generate leads but actually convert them. His story proves that when you bring curiosity, creativity, and a little “MacGyver” thinking to business growth, the results are revolutionary.

    If you’re ready to stop treating sales and marketing as separate worlds and finally align your business around predictable, profitable revenue — this conversation will change the way you think.

  • Financial Freedom Through Literacy

    Financial Freedom Through Literacy
    Aug 26 2025

    Special Guest: Jake Falcon

    catalina@falconwealthadvisors.com

    Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show where I empower coaches and consultants to use podcasting as a way to grow influence, attract clients, and share their message with those who need it most.

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jake Falcon, founder of Falcon Wealth Advisors, who brings over 20 years of experience in financial services. Jake is on a mission to enhance financial literacy and help people take control of their financial future, especially as they approach retirement.

    What struck me most in our conversation is how little financial education most of us receive. As Jake shared, many people—even multimillionaires—struggle with fear and uncertainty around retirement simply because they don’t know how to manage their wealth to generate income for the long term. His passion for solving this problem came from two things: a childhood fascination with money (sparked by a video game called Wall Street Kid!) and a deep love for helping people create confidence and clarity around their finances.

    We also talked about his Signature Planning Process, a two-step, highly personalized approach he uses with clients to uncover their true goals, address financial “pain points,” and build a flexible, ongoing plan that evolves with life’s changes.

    Here are my key takeaways from this conversation:

    • Financial literacy isn’t taught in schools, but it’s essential to living with freedom and confidence.
    • Retirement isn’t just about money—it’s about purpose, lifestyle, and planning for how you’ll spend your time.
    • Money should be seen as a tool, not a burden. It buys you time, freedom, and the ability to give back.
    • Podcasting (yes!) is one of the most powerful ways to build trust with your audience and attract clients who already understand your values and approach.

    Jake also shared his book, Retiring Right: Smart Steps for Exiting Corporate America, and explained why enhancing financial literacy drives everything he does.

    This was a fascinating, inspiring conversation about money, purpose, and the power of getting your message out there.

  • Learning from Mistakes

    Learning from Mistakes
    Aug 19 2025

    Special Guest: Joel Friedland

    https://www.britproperties.com

    Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast! I’m your host, Karen Roberts, and today’s conversation is one I know will shift the way you think about investing, selling, and even the mistakes we’ve all made along the way.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode:
    • Listening beats selling every time. Joel shares how learning to ask better questions (instead of pitching) changed the entire trajectory of his career.
    • Vulnerability builds trust. By opening up about failures—including a period of deep depression after the 2008 crash—Joel shows the power of honesty in building long-term investor relationships.
    • Debt-free investing is possible. Joel reveals how syndicating industrial real estate without banks or debt works and why it’s a safer long-term play.
    • Commercial real estate is more accessible than most people think. Minimum investments can start far lower than many assume, making it a viable option for more investors.
    • Podcasting as credibility. We explore whether podcasting could be the trust-building platform Joel—and others in business—need to expand their investor network.

    In this episode, I sit down with Joel Friedland, a seasoned real estate investor with over 40 years of experience. Joel takes us back to 1981, when interest rates were a shocking 17% and he was just starting out in industrial real estate. What struck me most is how he owned up to the mistakes he made early in his career—talking more than listening, pitching instead of consulting—and how those lessons transformed the way he does business today.

    Joel walks us through his evolution from traditional broker to debt-free syndicator, sharing stories of working with family-run businesses, massive industrial clients, and investors who trusted him enough to join deals worth millions. What makes this episode truly powerful is Joel’s candor about the challenges he’s faced and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild stronger than ever.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t get into commercial real estate” or wondered how to truly connect with people in any business, this conversation will change your perspective.

  • How to be a Thought Leader

    How to be a Thought Leader
    Jul 15 2025

    Special Guest: Mitchell Levy

    In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I’m joined by the brilliant Mitchell Levy—TEDx speaker, international bestselling author, and the mind behind over 60 books and 20 companies. He’s a powerhouse in the world of credibility and social selling, and he doesn’t hold back in this conversation.

    We dive deep into how coaches, consultants, and thought leaders can ditch the slimy sales tactics and use LinkedIn and podcasting to grow their business with authenticity.

    Mitchell reminds us that visibility without trust is just noise. The real magic happens when you build relationships, create micro-commitments, and lead people into genuine conversations. Whether that’s through a podcast, a Zoom call, or a birthday message in the DMs, your goal isn’t just to “sell”—it’s to be seen, heard, and remembered.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:

    • I learned that LinkedIn is not about likes and comments—it’s about starting real conversations that lead to referrals, relationships, and business.
    • Mitchell showed how just one thoughtful weekly post is often more effective than five daily ones—consistency > quantity.
    • We talked about overcoming the fear of DMs—they’re not slimy when they’re intentional, kind, and human.
    • I love Mitchell’s concept of becoming a "Community Superhero"—being so clear and visible in what you do that others naturally refer you.
    • He introduced the idea of a CPOP (Customer Point of Possibility)—a concise statement of your purpose in under 10 words that acts as your messaging compass.
    • He shared how tools like Substack and even custom AI chatbots can help streamline content and empower your team to amplify your voice.

    If you’ve been relying on ego metrics or feel overwhelmed by LinkedIn, this episode is your permission slip to simplify and reconnect with purpose.
