  • Why Creative Entrepreneurs Fail at Business

    Why Creative Entrepreneurs Fail at Business
    Nov 18 2025
    Special Guest Paul Pape https://www.gamifybusiness.com/podcast Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show where I help coaches and consultants grow their business and attract premium clients through podcasting—whether you host your own show or want to become that guest who actually gets booked. Today’s conversation is a powerful one. I’m joined by Paul P, also known as Santa for Nerds—a coach who helps creative and artistic entrepreneurs finally understand the business side without sacrificing who they are. And if you’ve ever felt like you “just don’t think like a business person,” this episode is going to change everything for you. Paul breaks down why creative entrepreneurs really struggle in business—and it’s not what most people assume. He explains how he uses gaming-inspired frameworks, like character sheets and Dungeons & Dragons–style role-play, to transform business into an adventure that makes sense for creative minds. We explore why teams fail when “everyone does everything,” how to build a group that actually supports your strengths, and why emotion—not products—is what truly drives sales. We also dive into the power of storytelling, the importance of vulnerability, and why the most successful entrepreneurs aren’t the ones who pretend to be perfect—they're the ones who stay passionate, human, and relatable. Key Takeaways: I discovered why so many creative entrepreneurs fail at business—and it’s not because they lack talent. I learned how gaming frameworks can turn intimidating business concepts into something creative brains instantly “get.” I saw how important it is to stop trying to “do everything” and instead build a team (or “pocket people”) that complements—not mirrors—your strengths. I was reminded that passion and storytelling—not perfection—are what truly grow a successful business. I walked away with a new understanding of how to help creatives scale, simplify, and actually enjoy the business side of what they do. And don’t forget to stick around after the break—I’m sharing a quick, actionable tip to help you pitch yourself as a podcast guest and get booked on the shows that matter. This is one episode you’re absolutely going to want to take notes on.

I’m breaking down the mindset and strategy behind pitching yourself as a podcast guest—without feeling awkward, salesy, or like you're “too much.” If you’ve ever stared at a half-written pitch email, overthinking every word, this one’s for you. Because I’ve been there. I vividly remember sitting on a pitch for over 20 minutes, even though I knew I could deliver real value. I respected the host, I loved their show—yet that little voice crept in: Who do you think you are? When I finally hit send, not only did they say yes… they thanked me. And that moment changed everything. So many brilliant coaches and service providers hold themselves back because they’re waiting to be chosen. They worry about being pushy, about not having a big enough audience, or about not having the perfect media kit. Meanwhile, podcast hosts like me are actively searching for guests who show up with clarity, care, and a message that truly serves. The biggest shift happened when I stopped asking, Am I good enough to pitch? and started asking, Who needs to hear this right now? Pitching isn’t self-promotion—it’s contribution. You’re not asking for a favour. You’re offering value. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to pitch yourself with confidence: Key Takeaways (from my perspective): The best podcast guests aren’t the most famous—they’re the most clear. Hosts want value, not hype or long résumés. You don’t need a big audience or fancy media kit—just a clear message. Record a short 60-second Loom to personalize your pitch. Make your pitch about them—their show, their audience, their needs. Follow up once, kindly and without pressure. One aligned pitch beats 20 random ones. Your message is meant to be heard. Don’t wait to be discovered—take one step this week and pitch yourself with intention.

  • State Trooper Taught Accountants to Talk Money

    State Trooper Taught Accountants to Talk Money
    Nov 11 2025
    Special Guest “Cash Flow Mike” Grab Mike’s free resource: cashflowmike.com Welcome to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast — the show that helps coaches turn podcasting into a powerful client-attraction tool! I’m your host, Karen Roberts, and today’s episode is packed with insights you do NOT want to miss. Before we dive in — stay tuned after the ads because I’ll be sharing my special strategy for consistent podcasting without burnout or quitting. Trust me, you’ll want to hear this. Now… today’s guest is the legendary Mike Milan, also known as Cashflow Mike — a former state trooper turned business growth strategist. With 14 businesses built, $150M in hidden profits found, and his proprietary Clear Path to Cash System, Mike helps business owners understand their numbers so they can scale sustainably without blowing up their bank accounts. I absolutely LOVED this conversation because it pulls the curtain back on the financial truths every entrepreneur needs to embrace: ✅ Cashflow isn’t a mystery — it’s math. ✅ Growth doesn’t matter if your money disappears in the process. ✅ Pricing and inventory mistakes are silently killing profits. ✅ The Financial Gap determines whether your business thrives or goes broke. Mike also taught me his rule that every business must follow: 👉 When gross profit decreases, operating expenses must decrease — or the business won’t survive long-term. We also unpacked: • Why rapid business growth can actually bankrupt you • Where most businesses are unknowingly leaking cash • Practical steps to control expenses and stabilize profit • Why knowing your financials gives you freedom in your business I walked away reminded that numbers aren’t scary — ignoring them is. Key Takeaways from this Episode ✨ You must know your numbers if you want your business to last ✨ Your pricing should be based on YOUR costs, not someone else’s ✨ Small cashflow improvements compound into massive profit gains ✨ Consistency creates authority (yes, in podcasting too!) 📌 Ready to understand your financial statements in just 7 minutes?

I’ll be honest, a couple of years into hosting my interview show, I almost shut it down. Not because I didn’t love podcasting… but because the pressure became suffocating. The coordination, the rescheduling, the technology, the editing and that creeping guilt every time a guest delayed something or I missed a deadline. I remember staring at my inbox thinking, why does something I love now feel like a chore? That was the moment I realized: Burnout doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re sprinting a marathon. We launch with excitement. We push for perfection. We want to show up polished and consistent… instantly. But real life always steps in. You miss a week. Your energy dips. You start avoiding the mic. I had to shift. I asked myself: ✨ What if this didn’t have to be so hard? ✨ What if showing up could feel light? ✨ What if my evolution wasn't a flaw, but the point? That’s when podcasting became joyful again. Not because I added more strategy, but because I removed the pressure to be anyone but me. Here’s what I’ve learned… Consistency isn’t about showing up the same way every time. It’s about showing up, even when the way you show up changes. 🔥 Key Takeaways Burnout comes from podcasting like your life depends on it • Your listeners tune in for YOU, not perfection • The best shows evolve, because the host evolves • True consistency is an identity: “I speak, even when it’s quiet” • Imperfect episodes > unpublished episodes • Presence beats polish every time If this message hits home, take a breath, you’re not behind. You’re finding your rhythm. And if you’re ready to take the next step, getting visible as a guest and using podcasting to grow your business, I’ve got a gift for you… my Podcast Profits Funnel Mini Course, totally free for listeners.

  • Quantum leap for joy and freedom

    Quantum leap for joy and freedom
    Nov 4 2025
    Special Guest Victoria Rader https://MyGiftOffer.com Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleash Podcast, where I help coaches and consultants leverage podcasting—both as a guest and a host—to grow their audience and get more clients. Today, I’m beyond excited to introduce a truly transformative guest, Victoria Rader, who guides purpose-driven individuals to quantum leap into joy and freedom by aligning with their divine worth and unlocking limitless possibilities. If you’ve been feeling stuck in the grind or sensing there’s more waiting for you, this episode is your invitation to expand into it. Victoria shares her remarkable journey—from growing up as a gifted child in Ukraine to becoming a quantum expert—and how she learned to embrace her unique gifts despite societal pressure to conform. She reveals how our energy, thoughts, and questions shape our reality, and how we can consciously navigate our own quantum field to manifest joy and success. Victoria provides practical exercises and mindset shifts to help you reconnect with your infinite worth, including: Grounding into your physical body while affirming your unlimited potential: “I am an unlimited being, accepting from the unlimited source in unlimited ways.” Shifting limiting questions: Replacing “How could this happen?” with “What is the best action I can take?” to create higher frequency outcomes. Bridge beliefs: Small, believable affirmations like “Every day in every way, my life is a little better,” to move from feeling stuck to quantum leaping. Honoring emotions: Celebrating confusion and embracing feelings like anger or fear without judgment, so they don’t sabotage your growth. Victoria also breaks down the three core paradigms that limit access to abundance: “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong,” and “What I want is out of reach,” and how awareness of these patterns allows us to shift our inner frequency and reclaim our power. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away inspired, empowered, and equipped to start your own journey toward joy, freedom, and unlimited possibility. Resources & Links: Free quantum ebook: mygiftoffer.com Journals & book: meseries.com YouTube: Shine Channel Stay tuned after the ads—I’ll also share actionable tips on how to shine as a podcast guest. https://yu2shine.com https://youtube.com/@quantum-me https://www.instagram.com/vica_rader https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriarader/ https://www.facebook.com/Yu2shine/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/freemegroup Welcome back to the Podcast Profits Unleash Podcast! After an inspiring conversation with Victoria Rader about quantum leaping into joy and freedom, I’m diving into a topic every coach and consultant needs to master: how to show up and shine as a podcast guest. From the moment you appear on a podcast, you’re already sending a message. How prepared you are, the energy you bring, and whether you’re there to truly connect—or just perform—says everything about how you show up in your business. In this episode, I share the key principles I use and teach to help guests create a powerful impact: Key Takeaways: Preparation matters: Arrive on time, have a quiet space, check your lighting, and test your tech. Being ready shows respect for the host and sets the tone for a professional recording. Energy over ego: Show up with presence, clarity, and authenticity. Hosts notice frazzled or self-centered guests—and it reflects on your business. Relationship first, audience second: Hosts aren’t just conduits to listeners—they could become clients, referral partners, or the bridge to your next big opportunity. Nurture that relationship. Polish doesn’t require price: You don’t need an expensive studio; a low-cost mic, good lighting, and simple sound fixes demonstrate that you take the interview seriously. Strategic storytelling: Your story and the way you communicate it can shift listeners’ beliefs and open doors for business opportunities. Podcast ROI: When approached intentionally, podcast guesting can become a 24/7 lead generation engine—turning conversations into clients and collaborations. Throughout the episode, I share real examples of guest behaviors that either impress or disappoint, and actionable steps to ensure you make a memorable, professional, and authentic impression. For coaches and consultants ready to turn podcast guesting into a tangible business strategy, I also introduce my Podcast Profits Funnel, teaching how to pitch confidently, choose the right shows, and monetize your appearances effectively.
