Are you tired of feeling like your podcast blends in with the crowd? On this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I’m diving deep into the one thing that will truly set your show apart. We talk about overcoming your speaking fear so you can step into your unique perspective and authentic story. EMBRACE YOUR PERSPECTIVE You’ve got something to say. You’ve walked through fire, learned the lessons, and earned your perspective. Unfortunately, your communication of that message has little to do with your content and more to do with your presence. If your message is muddled or your story is missing, your authority won’t land with your ideal client. Your influence has less to do with your platform and more to do with your presence. To become someone worth listening to, you need to deliver more than great content. You need to share yourself. That can come along with some fear. Magnetic leaders don’t just share what they do, they share who they are. They tell the story that makes others believe. I learned this the hard way by trial and error when I started in radio 35 years ago. My program director asked me when I was going to start being myself. It took a lot of hours on the air to discover what makes me different. It's not what I'm saying. It's whom I'm being. I had to overcome my fear and step into myself. It starts with one thing: Your Origin Story.

HOW YOU SAY IT Your origin story is critical, because it is the foundation of whom you're being. Once you know your origin story and principles, you can overcome your fear and find the confidence to lean into that persona. Most communication is nonverbal. Not what you say, but how you say it. There was a study done by Dr. Albert Mehrabian. Many refer to the study out of context by saying 7% of communication comes from the words you say. 38% of communication is your tone of voice. And 55% is your body language. Dr. Mehrabian didn't exactly say that. But, it was close. He did talk about those numbers and he did say a majority of communication is nonverbal. Even if the numbers are off a bit, the principle is still true. It's not what you say that is the most important. Powerful communication comes from whom you're being while you say it. Unfortunately, fear often holds that back. Lean into your personality. Your communication will be so much more powerful allowing you to attract raving fans. RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH STORY Too many podcasters focus only on delivering information, but what really creates influence and profitable relationships with your audience is who you are while delivering your message. On this episode, I share why your communication style and presence are more powerful than the content alone and how you can step fully into your own spotlight without fear. Let’s talk about what separates the most influential voices in any niche. Think Oprah, Howard Stern, or Gary Vee. It’s not just their expertise; it’s their story and how they deliver it with authenticity. Discover how adding your own perspective and sharing pieces of your origin story each week can magnetize listeners. It can also create true fans, and make your podcast stand out in the sea of sameness. I’ll also explain the four core elements every podcaster must master. These include attention-grabbing artwork, a compelling show name, a laser-focused description, and captivating episode titles that hook your ideal listener.
