Tell and Sell Your Story: How to Grow Your Audience, Impact & Income is the podcast for purpose-driven entrepreneurs who want to grow their audience, expand their impact, and increase their income by sharing the story only they can tell. Host Lisa Bradshaw is a 29-year cancer survivor, widow, TEDx speaker, and a visibility expert with a combined 18 years in radio, television, and magazines. She teaches you how to grow your audience and get sales without relying on social media by landing speaking gigs; booking free media coverage, like TV, magazines, and podcasts; and securing sponsorships for dream projects. Lisa's storytelling journey started with a product-based business that landed her alphabet pillow on the set of FRIENDS, which led to features on Oprah.com, The Rachael Ray Show, and in national magazines like InStyle, Parents, and Better Homes & Gardens. After two guest appearances on Oprah Radio, she shifted into a personal brand that launched a second book, a nonprofit (The DON'T WAIT Project®), three sponsored national storytelling tours across 23 states, and her long-running TV show, Life with Lisa. Lisa knows exactly how to help you monetize your expertise, grow your brand, share your story with warm audiences, and turn your knowledge into speaking engagement and other visibility income. Whether you're tired of social media or hugely successful on various social media platforms but are ready to expand your reach and your expertise, this podcast shows you how to pitch yourself, build authority, develop thought leadership, and create visibility strategies that generate growth, impact, and income.
