Should You Start a Podcast or Focus on Being Interviewed? Here's What To Think About | Ep 84

Should you start your own podcast or focus on being a guest on other shows? 🎙️ In this episode, Bridget Aileen Sicsko dives into the benefits—and challenges—of each option, helping you decide which one best aligns with your goals (hint: it might be both!).

As the founder of Visibility on Purpose, Bridget shares insights on the creative control, audience-building potential, and brand authority that come with hosting your own show. She also explores how guesting can expand your reach and boost credibility without the commitment of managing a podcast.

Whether you’re considering launching your own podcast or becoming a sought-after guest, this episode covers:

• Pros and cons of hosting vs. guesting
• How each can help build your personal brand and visibility
• Key challenges to be aware of
• Tips on how to decide or balance both options

👉 Tune in to learn how to leverage podcasting—either by hosting or guesting—to amplify your message, grow your brand, and reach new audiences.
