With over 15 years of diverse professional experience, Amanda has developed a skill set that allows her to guide visionaries and rule-breakers around the world.
In February 2023, Amanda had a vision for a podcast, but didn’t know how to bring it to life. Taking a decisive step, she joined SPI’s All-Access Pass, an educational community designed for entrepreneurs seeking connection, learning and growth.
Here, she not only found the answers she needed, but also gained invaluable information and support, marking a turning point in her entrepreneurial journey.
From vision to reality
Amanda’s dedication to personal development takes center stage in her podcast, Don’t step on the hyacinthswhere healing and growth are the central narratives.
Back when Amanda’s podcast was just an idea, she recalls the challenges she faced:
“I knew I could make an impact by helping people, but I felt overwhelmed by how much I didn’t know about how to start creating, publishing, and marketing a podcast.”
Unsure how to proceed, Amanda sought advice from a friend who recommended Power-Up Podcasting® by Pat Flynn. course. Rather than opting for the standalone course, she opted to sign up for the All-Access Pass, noting that she “saw more value in having access to a community” as well as the full library of courses.
Describing the decision-making process as a “no-brainer” due to the right price and undeniable value, she moved forward with confidence.
Amanda’s next step was to take the Power-Up Podcasting course, designed for those in the early stages of creating a podcast. In pursuit of a successful launch, she diligently progressed through the content, allowing her ideas to grow with each module.
“I went from a good idea to a clear, actionable plan that I could implement, one step at a time,” she says.
Amanda successfully launched Don’t step on the hyacinths in August 2023, just six months after joining the All-Access Pass. The podcast now averages 100 downloads per episode, for a total of over 900 downloads, with listeners from 34 different countries.
Although initially drawn to the All-Access Pass for the Power-Up Podcasting course, Amanda emphasizes that “the support from SPI” gave her the confidence and courage to bring her vision to life. This support not only had a positive impact on his brand, but also influenced his overall mindset.
“I had the confidence to launch and market my podcast, to make bold requests to high-profile guests, and to steer my brand into more unconventional practices,” says Amanda. “I knew I had answers to my questions when I needed them and was grateful for SPI’s continued support.”
Amanda’s experience with the All-Access Pass allowed her to redefine her professional identity, shifting her focus from business leadership to prioritizing the growth of her coaching practice and podcast.
Reflecting on this transition, she expresses, “I have created my own stage to share my wisdom and insights on personal transformation and healing – and I am beginning to become known for this area of work. »
The way forward: podcast and community vision
Looking forward, Amanda is focused on continuing to develop her podcast, with the goal of attracting a broader audience who share a common interest in personal growth and healing.
Amanda is currently participating in SPI’s Amp’d Up podcasting course accelerator, designed for members who have successfully published their podcasts and are looking for exponential audience growth and monetization. The accelerator format allows Amanda to progress through the course alongside a cohort, with added support and accountability from the SPI community and team.
