Youâve heard âniche downâ is the key to podcast growth. But what if your niche is actually too narrow to scale? In this live coaching session, I walk Dennis through why his podcast wasnât attracting the audience he really wantedâand the simple repositioning moves we made to fix it.

So if youâre tired of seeing single-digit downloads on episodes you spent hours producing (or youâve been publishing weekly but your numbers havenât budged in months) this episode will show you exactly what to change. Hit play and letâs dive in.

Youâve got the mic. Youâve got the mission. So why isnât anyone listening?
Thatâs the question Dennisâhigh school athletics coach turned podcasterâwas asking when he came to me for help. He knew who he wanted to serve, but a few months in, he was still struggling to get people to notice his show.
In this first-ever Fix My Pod on-air coaching session, weâre breaking down the gap between knowing your audience and actually getting them to click playâbecause nothing kills momentum faster than showing up every week and still getting ignored.
So if youâve launched (or youâre about to) and want to get more of the right listeners hitting play on the episodes youâre working hard to create, hit play and letâs dive in.
