This week we talk about how to present yourself, and help the host present you!  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

 

Hi Newsletter Subscribers,

Landing a guest spot on a podcast is step one. Step two? Making the host's life easier—and your message unforgettable. 🙌
 
This week, we're giving you an easy-to-follow guide to present yourself like a pro—even if you're just starting out.
 
When you're a guest, your introduction matters—it's your first impression. And when you provide a great intro to the host and deliver your own one-liner clearly, it shows you're thoughtful, polished, and focused on delivering value.

 

But first let's highlight this week's featured episodes:

✨ 1. Crafting the Host's Intro: Make it Easy for Them

 

Think of it like the opening line of your bio, but less formal and more listener-friendly.
 
🎯 Your job: Write 2-3 sentences the host can read aloud to introduce you.
Here's a simple structure:
  1. Who you are
  2. Who you help
  3. What transformation you offer
Example (Business Coach):
"Joining us today is Rachel Lee, a business coach who helps overwhelmed service providers create scalable offers and reclaim their time. She's the founder of Freedom Formula, and her work has helped dozens of entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses without burnout."
 
Example (Health Guest):
"Dr. Kelsey Ruiz is a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in gut health for women in their 30s and 40s. She's here to talk about the hidden causes of fatigue—and how to get your energy back, naturally."
 
TIPS:
  • Keep it under 60 seconds when read aloud.
  • Make it conversational, not too formal.
  • Mention any credibility boosters briefly (book, business, media, clients, etc.).
  • End on what the audience will gain from hearing you.

 

💬 2. Your One-Liner: How to Introduce Yourself Like a Pro

 

When the host says, “Tell us a little about yourself…” this is your moment. Don't ramble. Lead with value.
 
Structure:
  • What you do
  • Who you help
  • What problem you solve or transformation you create
Formula:
I help [audience] [achieve X result] through [method].
 
Examples:
  • “I help high-achieving moms lose weight without dieting, using a blend of mindset coaching and simple habits.”
  • “I help startup founders become confident public speakers so they can pitch, lead, and inspire.”
  • “I coach creatives with ADHD to organize their lives without losing their spark.”
TIPS:
  • Keep it under 15 seconds.
  • Make it benefit-driven, not a job title.
  • Test it out loud: Does it sound natural and confident?

✏️ Bonus: Quick Exercise

Try writing your versions of each:
 
🎤 Host Intro (2-3 sentences):
 
🧠 Your One-Liner (1 sentence):
 
Then practice saying them out loud, or send to a friend to get feedback 💬 

📣 3. “How to Promote Me” – Your Share-Ready Blurb for Hosts

 
You recorded the episode, crushed the interview—now help the host help you by giving them something easy to copy and paste when they're promoting the episode.
 
🎯 Goal:
Make it easy, clear, and valuable for their audience.
 
📬 What to Include:
🔹 Your hook or the topic you covered (in benefit-focused language)
🔹 A quick line about who you are
🔹 Optional: A freebie, call to action, or link (with their permission)
 
💡 Sample Blurb:
🚨New episode with guest [Your Name]!
[Your Name] helps [your audience] with [your core result]. In this episode, we talk about [key topic]—including [specific benefit or insight].
 
🎧 Listen in if you want to [desired outcome]—and don't forget to check out [Your Name]'s work at [YourWebsite.com].
 
📝 Template:
 
🔥 New episode with guest [Your Name]
[Your one-liner: I help…]
In this interview, we cover:
✅ [Topic 1]
✅ [Topic 2]
✅ [What the audience will walk away with]
🌐 Learn more at [Your Link]
 
✅ Tips:
Keep it between 2–5 sentences.
Share it in with your host before or after you record.
You can include social media captions too—bonus points if you provide a square image or headshot with your name & website.
 

🤝 4. Be a Joy to Work With

Post-interview behavior matters:
 
✔️ Say thank you
✔️ Ask when it's airing
✔️ Share the episode
✔️ Tag the host
✔️ Leave a review
✔️ Keep in touch!
 
Podcasting is about relationships, not transactions.
