Hey everyone, Trader Stu here! This episode is a little off the cuff—no script, just a catch-up on what’s happening with The Trading Post.

I’m moving the podcast from Buzzsprout to RSS.com, taking a closer look at recurring expenses, and figuring out which tools I actually need. When you’re using a podcast to market your business, you want to make it work for you—not become another bill you can’t justify.

I also share how I use podcast episodes in sales conversations, why AI has changed my content workflow, and what I’m thinking about next: bringing the show to YouTube and potentially creating videos that spotlight Metro Trading Association members.

In this episode:

• Why I decided to change podcast hosts
• Taking a closer look at overlapping subscriptions and tools
• Using a podcast as a follow-up tool for prospects
• How I use AI to help with podcast content and marketing
• Exploring YouTube without adding a complicated video-production routine
• Ideas for giving local businesses and MTA members more exposure

A special thank-you to this episode’s sponsor, Holly Dazzle at the Michigan Renaissance Festival grounds! I share a little about our family’s visit and why we enjoyed it.
