Are you trapped on the content creation hamster wheel, spending hours filming Reels, writing captions, and fighting an unpredictable algorithm just to see your engagement drop? Many business owners feel exhausted by the constant demand of social media marketing, yet they dread deleting their accounts because they fear their business will become invisible. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we sit down with Leah Kern to discuss her successful social media exit. Leah shares how she strategically transitioned away from platforms like Instagram and used her podcast as her primary growth vehicle. We dive into how to foster deep audience engagement that converts listeners into long-term clients and the operational adjustments needed to ensure true podcast sustainability. This week, episode 286 of Podcasting Unlocked is about using your podcast to leave the algorithm!
