We dive into not only taking a turn on the other side of the mic, but how to go above and beyond as a podcast guest.Christina Lenkowski is a forward-thinking podcast publicist and educator for entrepreneurs, speakers and authors looking to expand their credibility and go from “best-kept secret” to “go-to expert” in their industries through being a guest on other people’s podcasts. In 2019, after 13 years working in the PR realm, Christina discovered what being a guest on podcasts did for her online-based business -- since then she’s dedicated her work to helping other business owners, particularly women, see the same kind of results. She’s been a guest on over 40 podcasts, including Her Empire Builder, Proffitt Podcast and The Heather Sager Show, and helped her private clients get booked on over 250 top-rated shows, including The Online Business Show with Tyler McCall, The Copywriter Club and Get Paid with Claire Pelletreau, among others.

Before starting this business full-time, I always said I could never be an educator. It wasn’t something I enjoyed—but when I started this podcast I quickly realized that I was lying to myself and I wanted to create resources for hopeful podcasters.

So, today, I am sharing the tools that I use in the educational branch of my brand that help me provide valuable resources to my audience.
