  • The Best Podcast About Podcasting

    This show is hands down the best podcast about podcasting out there. And as and a member of the PodLaunch Community, I’m so grateful for the impact Courtney’s mentorship has had on my own show. Thanks to the PodLaunch program, I was able to relaunch my show, Parents Making Time, and debut at #56 in the Apple Top 100 in the parenting category. I could not have done that without PodLaunch!

    Being in her PodLaunch program has been a total game changer for me. I finally have a clear plan for my show, a crystal-clear focus on my audience and I'm no longer just reacting to trends and outreach from potential guests. Th... more

  • Phenomenal Show about Podcasting!

    Courtney is an enthusiastic host that freely gives so much insight, pro tips, and advice! It's amazing all the knowledge she shares that took years of her learning. I love her new (as of this review) "Fix my Pod" segment, which I was lucky enough to be a part of! She gave me invaluable insight and tips for my show and I can't thank her enough! This show is BINGEWORTHY!
