It is no secret that content is king when it comes to marketing. Advisors looking for ways to reach and engage clients should consider starting a podcast. Podcasting is an intimate medium, providing advisors with the opportunity to connect with existing clients and build relationships with prospective clients. Podcasting is also a great way for advisors to position themselves as thought leaders in the industry.

Prior to joining Turncast, David has more than a decade of experience leading companies to 7- and 8-figure revenue growth.

David talks with Rusty and Robyn about how podcasting can be a valuable asset in business, why financial advisors should consider launching their own podcast, and how to create a great podcast that listeners will subscribe to and keep listening to.

Quotes

[12:58] - "Podcasting offers an interesting dynamic because it's audio. And we know audio consumption goes up while people are driving, doing chores, doing other things — thus making it very different than video consumption." - David Ledgerwood

[24:32] - "What you're really trying to do as a host or creator of a show is develop the habit that a listener will keep coming back because they like the experience of being a listener and they'll subscribe to your thing and they'll keep coming back on a regular basis." - David Ledgerwood

[28:31] - "I'm a big fan of content reuse. I love podcasting because it's not just about the podcast. It's forcing you to have conversations." - David Ledgerwood
