Who is the Refresh & Revive Podcast Workshop for?

  • Feel stuck or overwhelmed when it comes to planning.

  • Are ready to create a clear, actionable roadmap for their podcast

What Inspired Us to Create the Refresh & Revive Podcast Workdshop?

The idea for this workshop came from similar themes that we’ve seen and experienced as both a podcaster and a podcast manager. These are questions we often ask ourselves or get asked by clients. 

  • What should I talk about this week on the podcast?

  • How do I make my podcast work with my business goals?

  • Why does this feel harder than it needs to be?

  • I’ve been at this for a while, how do I monetize my podcast?

We are going to answer each and every one of these over three days together in this Refresh & Revive Podcast Workshop.

It’s Time to Feel Excited About Your Podcast Again!

Join Shaye and Krysta virtually over the course of three days to get CLARITY and CONFIDENCE in your podcast strategy for 2025. Here’s what’s included in the workshop:

  • Large group discussions: get real-time feedback on your podcast and ideas on how to grow from other podcasters in the rural, western and agriculture space.

  • Individualized attention: This is NOT a turn and burn workshop. Our goal is to walk you through the steps you need to take to get EXCITED and be SUCCESSFUL in your podcast.

  • Small group breakouts: Once you learn a topic, it’s time to implement it. Get started right away with the support of Krysta and Shaye to start working on what you learn right away!

  • Strategy Blueprint: Walk away from the workshop with something concrete that you can return to throughout the year for guidance on how to stay on track for podcast success!
