Podcasting Mentor: Better Brave

193: Why Your Podcast Guesting Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It)

Candace Dudley Season 1 Episode 193

You’ve been landing podcast interviews, showing up, and doing the work—but nothing’s happening after the episodes. No new leads. No real visibility. And you’re wondering: is podcast guesting even worth it?

The truth? Podcast guesting does work—but only if you avoid a few common mistakes that cause interviews to fall flat. In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 biggest mistakes I see guests make—and the simple fixes that actually turn interviews into results.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

  • 🎤 The intro mistake → why rambling or oversharing hurts your positioning (and the short formula to fix it).
  • 🎤 The middle mistake → how trying to cover too much dilutes your authority (and why one niche angle makes you unforgettable).
  • 🎤 The outro mistake → the #1 way guests lose momentum (and how to choose one clear call-to-action listeners will remember).
  • 🎤 The bottom line → podcast guesting works when you position yourself well, share specific value, and guide listeners with clarity.
