Today I have my very first coaching episode. I sat down with Nyla Khan, host of Deviants Podcast, who came to me with a question I hear a lot from podcasters: "How do I actually grow this and turn listeners into clients?"
Nyla and her co-host Cole launched Deviants in December 2025. A podcast exploring what it means to be a cultural deviant and live off-script. Eight episodes in, the show is growing, the audience is engaged… but Nyla wants to know how to integrate her podcast into her wider coaching ecosystem and use it as a real marketing tool, not a separate piece of work.
In this conversation, we get into podcast discoverability, niching down, the difference between an entertainment podcast and a business funnel podcast and a creative format idea that could help her hit a weekly rhythm without doubling her workload.
In this episode:
- The foundations of podcast discoverability on Apple and Spotify (and why search position matters before you think about monetisation)
- How to use podcast SEO keywords inside your episode titles and show notes
- Why your podcast needs to fit clearly into your business ecosystem if you want it to fuel your coaching business
- Why you shouldn't measure podcast growth before you've hit at least 25–50 episodes
- The honest truth about consistency, silence and putting in the reps
