385 -Why Your Guest Outreach Is Getting Ignored
You finally land the perfect guest for your show… only to be met with silence. No reply. No booking. Nothing. Today’s episode digs into why your outreach might be falling flat and what you can do differently to actually get a “yes.” The crew reacts to a viral clip from Dare to Self-Care about guesting and ghosting and whether small podcasters really do ask too much from potential guests. We discuss the balance of power between hosts and guests, how to set fair expectations, and why curating a great guest experience matters more than fancy outreach. Sometimes, the best pitch isn’t about convincing, it’s about connecting.
