As we close out 2025, I’m inviting you to join me for a guided virtual business retreat using a structure I’ve been developing and refining for years — something I now call The Compass Framework for Your Business.

And in this episode, I walk you through each direction, help you identify where you're strong and where you're drifting, and guide you through a set of reflection questions to choose your focus for 2026.

To make this retreat as grounding and actionable as possible, I created a companion workbook:

If you’ve ever wondered whether podcast guesting could actually move the needle in your business—or you’re not sure where to start—this episode is a must-listen.

I’m joined by podcast publicity pioneer Jessica Rhodes, founder of Interview Connections and the OG of podcast booking agencies. Jessica has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs land thousands of interviews—and today she’s breaking down exactly how new and emerging coaches can use podcast guesting to build visibility, grow their audience, and yes… land paying clients.

We talk about:

• How to treat your first year of guesting like a beta experiment

• The “green room” strategy that turns hosts into collaborators (or clients!)

• How to build a simple, effective 1-sheet that gets you booked

• The biggest mistakes new guests make (and how to avoid them)

• What to actually say when someone asks, “Where can people find you?”
