A: What is their area of expertise, their background, their successes, and their approach When searching for a podcast booking agent, their unique background and expertise are key to ensuring your success in the podcast world. Here are some critical points to consider: Diverse Backgrounds: Agents come from various fields—my path led me from music and talent representation to podcasts through listening to real estate investing education podcasts. Specialization: Understand their specialty areas. While I work with a wide range of founders, entrepreneurs, and high performers, real estate investing is a significant focus due to my extensive experience. Passion and Drive: What motivates them? This can greatly influence how they pitch you and the topics they are comfortable with. I get most excited when I land a client a huge show!
