04/02/21 • 28 min

Lee Chaix McDonough is the CEO and Founder of Coach With Clarity, a training and education company for life and business coaches. She is also the host of the Coach with Clarity podcast and author of the #1 Amazon book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.

After over a decade as a clinical social worker and public health professional, Lee became credentialed as a coach through the International Coach Federation and now provides ICF-accredited continuing coach education for intuitive, heart-centered coaches.

Her Coach with Clarity® framework fuses meaning, mindset, and mindfulness with grounded intuition and solid business strategy to help coaches and clients excel at entrepreneurship and transform their lives.

In this episode, Lee shares why she decided to put her original podcast on an indefinite hiatus and instead focus on launching her current podcast a little over a year ago, how she utilizes coaching calls on her podcast, all the details for how she handles these unique calls, how she’s able to tell that her coaching calls are some of her most popular episodes, how she converts her podcast listeners into paying clients and membership enrollees; including her call-to-action and the strategy of sponsoring her own show, how the podcast leads to 1:1 clients even though she doesn’t advertise that service anywhere, how she utilizes her stats to help get a better understanding of how her show is growing and performing, and more.

103: The Power of Turning Your Blog Into a Podcast with Amy Dempster

Amy Dempster helps in understanding the healing power of the earth. What began as openly sharing her spiritual journey on her popular blog Following Hawks, has become a resource for others wanting to learn how to communicate with nature and share their own unique healing gifts with the earth.

Together with the Spirits of the Land in the mountains of northwest Montana, she tends seven portals on the land where she lives, along with any grid keeping work she is assigned. She also leads the Earth Tenders Academy, an immersive online journey to help others re-establish their connection with their ancient ancestors, learn to communicate with the seen and unseen forces in their environment, and respectfully offer their healing energy to places in need.

Amy and I worked together on the launch of her podcast, The Earth Keepers, and we’ve been working together ever since.

In this episode, Amy shares why she decided to turn her blog into a podcast and what that process has looked like for her, why she feels the podcast has had more of an impact than her blog has, how the podcast leads people to join her Earth Tenders Academy, how her podcast has helped her become more comfortable being vocal in a field that faces a lot of stigmatism and mocking, how thinking she had to do interviews on her podcast prevented her from starting one sooner, and more.

105: Ask Me Anything - Part 3

Today's my birthday! For the past two years, I've done an Ask Me Anything (AMA)-style episode where you were able to ask me any question you wanted and I answered it in the episode. Well, it's that time of the year again. In this AMA episode, I answer the following questions from listeners just like you:

How do I grow my show? (Also phrased as how do I grow my audience, increase visibility, or increase my downloads)
How do I record an interview with someone who's not there with me in person?
Is it worth it to do transcriptions for each episode?
What's a good editing program for beginners who can't outsource it yet?
Do I really need show notes?
