Podcast Coaching with Shaye Wanner

“Shaye’s podcast challenge was paramount for both igniting excitement for my show along with encouragement to overcome the fears and challenges of podcasting. Shaye has an incredible sense of relatability to the challenge participants as she knows exactly what it was like to be starting from the ground up. The most valuable takeaway was that Shaye is not afraid to challenge you to quit making excuses. Even though we think we don’t have time to start a podcast, we all waste multiple hours a day whether it’s scrolling on social media or watching TV. Shaye holds you accountable to carve out daily time to develop your podcast as she energizes you to quit fostering inaction.”

“I, along with my podcasting co-host, had the pleasure to work with Shaye one on one to prepare and develop the podcast for the Red Angus Association of America, “Red Angus Remarks”. Prior to beginning coaching with Shaye, I had only been a podcast listener and never involved in the production of one. I was anxious and nervous about getting our podcast up and running, but was relieved when we were able to go through the podcast development program that Shaye offers. The workbook did a tremendous job helping Taylor and I have thought provoking discussions about how we wanted to utilize our platform to highlight the Red Angus breed and its stakeholders. All aspects of the planning process that I was nervous about was extensively covered in the workbook and in our sessions spent with Shaye. Interacting with Shaye helped ease my anxiety and allowed for me to quickly gain confidence in my abilities in this endeavor. Shaye is incredibly genuine, kind, and direct in her coaching and took a unique approach as she learned more about how we wanted to execute our podcast. The first three coaching sessions were geared towards content planning and target audiences. The final three sessions had a very open format and she allowed us to choose areas that were of greatest concern and she helped guide us through them. Even after our sessions were completed, Shaye routinely checked in our progress and had an open door policy on continuing to provide feedback and offer coaching as needed. 10 episodes into our journey, we had a follow up conversation with Shaye to discuss utilizing advertising within our podcast. Shaye was extremely quick with her follow up and continued to offer us fantastic insight and recommendations. For anyone interested in beginning their podcasting journey, I would highly recommend utilizing Shaye’s services. She has been truly wonderful to work with, genuinely wanting her clients to succeed.”
