Traci DeForge teaches us why podcasting can be one of the most sustainable ways to grow a food blog, create multiple revenue streams and build valuable relationships. Traci, founder of Produce Your Podcast, an award-winning full-service production and audience growth marketing agency, is recognized as an international podcast expert, sought-after speaker, and media contributor. The creator of the Podcast Management Academy, the industry's only certified podcast manager training program, PodHive, and Co-Founder of the Podcast Professionals Association. Traci hosts the Growth Accelerator Podcast, and co-hosts the popular Ask Brien Radio Show in Los Angeles. She's been featured on all three major networks, including CNN, CTV, American Express Open, and RadioINK. She is also a member of the Rolling Stone Culture Council. Podcasting is often dismissed as too much work or not visual enough for food creators. In this episode, that assumption gets challenged. Traci breaks down why audio builds deeper trust, how podcasting supports SEO and AI discovery, and why consistency matters more than perfection. If you have ever thought "this sounds great but I don't have the capacity," this conversation will help you rethink what podcasting can actually look like. Key Topics Discussed: Clarity before creation: If you do not know why you are launching a podcast, it will never feel sustainable. Consistency beats frequency: One high quality episode you can maintain is more powerful than weekly content you resent producing. Guesting counts as a strategy: You can build authority and reach new audiences without running your own show. Audio builds deeper trust: People invite podcasts into their kitchens, cars, and daily routines and that matters. Podcasting supports SEO and AI discovery: Audio and video content increase repetition and visibility across search and AI platforms. Food content works without visuals: Storytelling, sensory language, and real life examples make recipes come alive in audio. You do not need fancy gear: A simple microphone and a phone are enough to get started. Connect with Traci DeForge Website | Instagram

What if a year of creating content barely moved your follower count, but changed everything about how you create? In this solo episode, I share the honest story behind my year of experimenting with short-form video: the discouraging stretches, the unexpected joy, and the moment I nearly walked away. After months of publishing consistently, I had gained just 800 Instagram followers. Then, hours after I finally decided this story was worth sharing, my overnight apple oatmeal reel took off.. reaching 7 million views and counting. But the biggest lessons came before that breakthrough. I'm sharing what helped me understand why people keep watching, how I started using analytics without letting numbers dictate every creative decision, and why protecting time to experiment has mattered so much. In this episode, you'll learn: • How opening with the process (and holding back the finished result) can create curiosity. • Why a strong opening needs a series of unresolved questions to keep viewers watching. • What skip rates, shares, and saves can teach you beyond the view count. • How curiosity, emotion, utility, and connection shape the way people respond to your content. • Why creative joy and growing skills deserve consideration alongside followers and financial ROI. If you've been creating consistently and wondering whether your effort is going anywhere, this episode is for you.
