You might think podcast guesting is an unlikely topic for The Real Connect Podcast, but let me tell you why itâs not.
Real connection is at the heart of building anything lasting, whether a brand, a business, or a legacy, and guesting on the right podcasts is one of the most powerful ways to create it.
In this episode, I sit down with podcast strategist, podcast booker, and my good friend Christina Lenkowski to discuss how podcast guesting can provide major wins for your personal brand without needing a massive following or flashy credentials.
We explore how being intentional with your podcast visibility strategy builds exposure and authentic relationships. Christina shares how she helps entrepreneurs avoid the common pitfalls in having a solid podcast strategy, getting booked on shows that matter, and turning every interview into a relationship-building opportunity.
Key Takeaways:
1. Podcast success doesnât come from appearing on the biggest shows.
2. A solid personal brand advice plan should include a podcast strategy rooted in authentic storytelling and meaningful follow-up.
3. Building relationships with podcast hosts opens doors to partnerships, speaking gigs, and mastermind invites.
This episode is packed with gems, from setting a visibility KPI to building your network through follow-ups and intentional outreach. If you've been hesitant about guesting on podcasts or unsure how it ties into your brand, friends, this is your sign.

Weâve all admired public figures, coaches, and leaders...until they show us a side we never expected. Think Snoop, Nelly, Bill Cosby, Diddy⊠and letâs not forget Chrisette Michele. Why do some get a pass while others are canceled? When the people we respect donât live up to their image, what does it say about celebrity culture, accountability, and the double standards that exist, especially between Black men and Black women?
In this episode of The Real Connect podcast, weâre getting into uncomfortable conversations about how influence is built, why some fall harder than others, and what it all says about the way we view power, race, and redemption.
Key Takeaways:
1. Why Some Get a Pass & Others Donât? What determines who gets canceled, who gets forgiven, and who gets to continue their career untouched?
2. The double standard when it comes to Black women and Black men facing public backlash.
3. Separating the art from the artist. Should we still support the work of public figures after theyâve been exposed?
