About your host

Profile picture for Allison Nitsch

Allison Nitsch

Hi, I’m Allison! A podcast strategist and marketing mentor for women coaches and service providers who are ready to make their podcast the CMO of their business.

After nearly two decades in education, I traded lesson plans for podcast plans and discovered how powerful it can be when your voice leads your marketing. What started as a side passion for audio editing quickly grew into a full-scale strategy business helping women turn their podcasts into intentional, client-attracting systems.

Now, I help entrepreneurs create binge-worthy podcasts that connect, nurture, and convert - all while simplifying their marketing and scaling their impact.

This show is where I share everything I teach my clients: how to plan smarter episodes, build podcast-first marketing funnels, and make your podcast the most powerful part of your business.

And when I’m not helping clients batch episodes or map out strategies, you can find me raising three teens (two of them twins!), watching true crime (or Love Is Blind), and inevitably searching for my AirPods ... again. 🎧
