Experiencing growing pains is a universal aspect of life—those moments where we find ourselves navigating uncharted territories, learning to operate in a different way. Kristin shares a story that resonates with the spirit of every kingdom podcaster, offering a perspective on embracing growth.

Picture this: You're in the midst of growth, and suddenly, panic sets in. It's that instinctual reaction when faced with a new situation, a challenge, or a shift in the familiar. The natural response is to seek a way out, to escape the discomfort. But what if, instead of fleeing, we learn to breathe through the growth process?

When we find ourselves sitting in that space of discomfort, it's an opportunity to recognize that this is where the real transformation happens. Trusting God in the midst of the unknown allows us to breathe, breaking free from the instinct to enter a state of fight or flight.

As kingdom podcasters, we are not exempt from the trials of growth. We, too, face moments of uncertainty and discomfort. But let's encourage one another to breathe through it, to embrace the process, and to find solace in the truth that God is intricately woven into every step of our journey.

Quotes from Today’s Episode:

“There are times when we will be uncomfortably pushed”

“Trust that God is in the process”

“We get to become comfortable with the uncomfortable”

“The end result is going to be growth”

In entrepreneurship, setting financial goals isn't just about numbers but crafting a roadmap toward your aspirations. Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, taking a thoughtful approach to your financial aspirations is key. 

In today's episode, Kristin welcomes guest business coach Leanne Meiser to dive deeper into the intricacies of financial goal-setting and the considerations you need to consider.

Kristin and Leanne:

• Educate listeners on how essential it is to clearly define your goals. Ask yourself, "What do I want to achieve?" Whether it''s growing your business, saving for a dream vacation, or investing for the future, articulating your objectives is the first step toward financial success.
• Discuss the importance of understanding the feasibility of your financial goals is paramount. Consider the time you have available – if you only have 10 hours a week to dedicate to your financial endeavors, ensure your goals align with this realistic timeframe.
• Dive into how it's crucial to differentiate between business and personal finances. Knowing how much you are taking home is different from understanding your business revenue.
• Remind listeners that setting clear and intentional financial goals is a non-negotiable step if you're serious about expanding your reach and serving others.
  

Set ambitious goals for yourself, and remember not to give away your services or products for free. Your expertise and offerings have value, and acknowledging this is essential for sustainable financial growth. Achieving financial success requires intentional planning and a clear understanding of your goals. 

Remember, financial success is not just about making money; it's about making informed and purposeful decisions that align with your aspirations.

Quotes from Today’s Episode:

“Be realistic with yourself”- Leanne 

“Does this make sense with the hours that I have”-Leanne

“Treat it like a business and not a hobby”- Kristin

Kristin’s gift to you this Christmas: Grab your free 15 Minute Coaching Session.

In podcasting, strategies and tactics are always evolving, but there's a timeless truth that often gets overlooked — the power of inviting Jesus into your boat. Kristin delves into the profound lessons from Luke Chapter 5, emphasizing the transformative power of inviting Jesus into your business and podcast.

Jesus sees you, not just in the grand moments but in the everyday grind—the times you hit 'record' despite feeling weary, the prayers whispered for those around you, even amidst the chaos of life's tantrums. It's a reminder that your efforts, seen and unseen, are acknowledged.

In today's episode, Kristin:

• Highlights two key elements in the invitation — vision and strategy. If you've found yourself trying various approaches without success, this episode encourages you to reassess your vision.
• Urges listeners to strategize with Jesus. Have you encountered obstacles and setbacks despite your efforts? The invitation is to listen and seek guidance.
• By intertwining your vision with spiritual principles, you can navigate the challenges of podcasting and business with newfound clarity and purpose.
•  Reminds listeners that it's an invitation to surrender your business or podcast to a higher purpose, acknowledging that your talents and gifts are not just yours but are meant to be used for the greater good.

As you press forward in your podcasting journey, remember that Jesus sees the work you're doing. Kristin's insights remind us that our work is seen, valued, and guided by a higher purpose. As you continue your journey, remember the power of vision, obedience, collaboration, and, most importantly, the transformative impact of inviting Jesus into your vessel.

Quotes from today’s episode: 

“Jesus knows the work you are doing”
“He sees how you press record even on the days you don’t feel like it”
“He sees you praying for the people that he has placed in your life”
“He sees you in the midst of a toddler tantrum”

Podcasting offers a unique space for individuals to share their voices, stories, and expertise. Embarking on the podcasting journey can feel like stepping into uncharted territory, filled with questions and uncertainties. Fear not, as Kristin is here to address some common questions and shed light on the path to podcasting success.

In today's episode, Kristin tackles questions from fellow new and seasoned podcasters. 

I’m on anchor which was bought out by Spotify- is that fine to start with?
What is podcast management? How does it work?
How many downloads should I have to start monetizing my podcast?
Is it absolutely necessary to have a podcast microphone?

A common question arises from those who've chosen Anchor, recently acquired by Spotify, as their podcasting platform. Kristin's advice? It's an excellent starting point! However, the real magic lies in having an RSS feed.

Curious about when to start making money and how many downloads suffice? Kristin advocates starting early, irrespective of your audience size. It's not just about the numbers; positioning yourself as an expert and promoting your own content yields more success.

Do you need an expensive mic? Not necessarily. Quality audio matters, but you don't need to break the bank to purchase a mic.

Kristin unpacks the power of podcast management and how it goes beyond mere podcast creation; it's about nurturing podcasters themselves.

Podcasting isn't a sprint but a marathon of establishing authority and building trust. Kristin stresses the importance of patience, consistency, and perseverance in podcasting endeavors. 

From answering podcasting questions to delving into podcasting statistics, Kristin answers questions about the frequency of podcasting but, more importantly, how consistency matters.

Many podcasters are enthusiastic about monetizing their content and increasing their audience. However, what frequently occurs is that they embark on this journey without a well-defined strategy, doing the right actions but in an incorrect sequence, often resulting in financial setbacks. In today's episode, Kristin had the privilege of interviewing Jay, an experienced brand-building strategist, who shared invaluable tips on crafting an effective paid media strategy.

In today’s episode Kristin and Jay dive into:

• The importance of understanding the metrics, ad spend, and return on investment (ROI) is critical. Before diving into paid media strategies, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your offer's unique value and what you can expect in return for your investment. 
• Utilizing real-life scenarios and data-driven analysis can help you make informed decisions when it comes to ad spend.
• Success in paid media is strongly tied to building trust and a genuine connection with your target audience. Jay recommends taking a systematic approach to developing the "know, like, and trust" factor.
• How not everyone starts with a vast listener base, but Jay offers encouraging advice for those who are just starting out. The first step is simple: keep going, regardless of your initial progress. Building a brand takes time, and success often depends on discipline and perseverance.
  

Creating a successful paid media strategy is not just about pouring money into advertising. It's about understanding your audience, knowing your numbers, and executing your strategy in the right order. Jay's insights provide a clear roadmap for podcasters and brand builders looking to monetize their content effectively. Remember, the key is not just to spend money but to spend it wisely, with a focus on delivering value and building trust with your audience.
