    Such great tips & advice
    Thank you, Courtney, for this amazing podcast! I’m brand new (launched my podcast 2 months ago) and am learning so much from you. I love that your episodes are bite-sized and actionable. Your legal episodes could not have come at a better time!

    My Podcast Went to the TOP!
    Before I found Courtney, I was podcasting for fun, which was great, but eventually I realized I had a podcast that could be great if I knew what to do with it. But thanks PodLaunch, now I’m creating episodes that help moms feel seen and valued in their experience while listening to my podcast that is truly binge-worthy. I’m looking forward to learning more from Courtney to continue helping moms on their journey to finding themselves as best as I can. Krissy, host of Mom’s Guide to Finding Herself

    Finding Courtney and her show Inside Secrets has been a game changer for me and my startup podcast. Listening to these episodes gives me insight and gives me an understanding of what to do, how to do it, and when to do it for everything to grow my podcast. Her guests are excellent and her insight and explanations are perfection.

    Lovely Voice, Relevant Advice
    I can listen to Courtney for hours without feeling bored with the content or annoyed with her voice - unlike some other podcasts I’ve tried listening to. I appreciate that every episode begins with something useful, rather than ads (hate that - I always move on when a show starts with ads). I’m learning a lot and feeling more confident about starting a podcast with every episode
  • Janine Mix

    On of my favorite shows! Seriously, I can’t speak highly enough about this podcast. I feel like Courtney is speaking right too me, my goals, and my struggles. Each episode is packed with easy actionable steps that I’ve applied to my podcast and seen so much growth! Thank you for sharing so much wisdom!
  • Unshakable Habits
    Courtney knows her stuff
    Before I found Courtney, I really struggled to get consistent downloads on my podcast and was always making last minute decisions on what to talk about that week. But thanks to the PodLaunch methodology, I have clarity on who I’m trying to reach and how I want to help them. This not only helps me build my audience but has helped me create a long-term content strategy for my podcast that ties back to my coaching business.

    Good Content for All Levels of Podcasters
    Courtney gets into detail on a variety of topics related to starting, growing, restarting, and otherwise optimizing your podcast journey. The episodes are of a good length for a sit down and listen session without having to pause and come back for more. The content is very helpful and has me motivated to continue onwards with my own show.

  • R.and.K
    Great stuff
    Courtney is clearly a master of her craft. Her podcast is well designed delivered and polished. I find her topics to be generally helpful and interesting. The October 3 episode that I just listened to about AI wasn’t a topic I found too thrilling however. but I don’t expect them to all be home runs.

    Subscribed!!
    We have an established, successful podcast. Finding content to get better that is actually helpful and tactical is harder thank you’d think. Courtney is sharp and provides great value every episode. She is also one of the best guest expert interviewers I’ve heard! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳

    Great show for business owners who podcast!
    Courtney knows what she’s doing. It’s so refreshing to see some novel strategy on podcasting. I was sick of hearing the same advice that only gets you tiny incremental growth and this growth strategy was actually good and fits with my experience of what worked. Thanks Courtney—you have a new follower! 🙌
  • AnonymousAndrewPodcast
    Amazing
    Somehow Courtney got me to not only listen to more then one episode, I started to follow and binge. This btw is what she preaches. Very interesting podcast. Not sure I have grasped the concept of what she is trying to tell us…but that’s what makes it binge worthy. She has a good voice too!

    For aspiring podcasters who want to know what really works
    As a fellow podcaster I love Courtney’s podcast, both her solo episodes and guest interviews. She gets into both mindset (limiting beliefs) and practical strategies (what to say on a discovery call). I will be following this one!
