    2025/01/06

    Stop killing yourself trying to create content for every platform—repurpose and leverage what you already have. - Lyndsay Phillips

    Talking to Lyndsay Phillips was a masterclass in transforming the way we think about podcasting. Lyndsay Phillips brought an incredible wealth of knowledge, showing how a single episode can be repurposed into an ecosystem of content that drives visibility, nurtures leads, and builds authority.

    I was blown away by her strategies for turning podcast episodes into assets that not only extend your reach but also directly contribute to your business growth. It’s clear that repurposing isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must for anyone serious about scaling their podcast and maximizing their impact.

    Listening to Lyndsay, I realized how many opportunities I’ve missed by not fully leveraging my own content. From creating Instagram carousels and LinkedIn articles to building systems that save time and streamline the process, her approach has completely changed my perspective. What really stuck with me is how strategic and intentional repurposing can be.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the demands of content creation, this episode is a game-changer. It’s packed with actionable insights that I can’t wait to implement, and I know you’ll feel the same way.

  • How YouTube Transforms Your Podcast’s Reach
    2024/12/23

    "The people that are going to consume your short form videos are probably a hundred to a thousand times more than the people who actually consume your content."

    This episode was a real turning point for me. It made me realize just how powerful YouTube can be for podcasters—not just for video, but for reaching entirely new audiences in ways I hadn’t fully appreciated before. I used to think podcasts were strictly audio-only and that YouTube wasn’t the right platform for them.

    But after diving deeper, I’ve come to see how short-form video content can amplify a podcast’s reach dramatically.

    This episode reflects my journey of breaking old habits, adapting to new trends, and embracing the opportunities that YouTube offers to connect with more listeners.

    • Niall Mackay

    • Why YouTube for Podcasts Matters: YouTube is now the most popular platform for podcast consumption in the U.S., even for audio-only content.
    • Creating Short-Form Content is Non-Negotiabl: Viral Shorts attract thousands of views and subscribers, even for niche topics.
    • The Importance of Proper Thumbnails and Titles: YouTube thumbnails and titles need to be visually captivating and optimized differently from audio platforms.
