No fear allowed when marketing your God-given message with Heather O’Brien
What if the most powerful thing you could do for your book, your podcast, and your platform is also the thing that feels the scariest?
Heather O'Brien spent years learning that lesson, and her answer is be more vulnerable sooner. Not polished. Not perfectly packaged. Just real, and honest, and a little bit sooner than feels comfortable.
In this episode I'm sitting down with Heather, author of No Fear Allowed and host of the Heal With God podcast, to talk about what she's learned from writing multiple books, podcasting since 2016, and reaching listeners in countries she's never even visited.
We get into how she turned her coaching course transcripts into a book, why starting small is always better than not starting at all, and how she's using PodMatch to get outside the little bubble of podcasts and audiences she already knows.
