Podcasting for Therapists: Building a Movement – HPP 17

Joe Sanok, MA, LLP, LPC


As therapists, we have so much important wisdom to share with the world. Think of how many lives you’ve impacted sitting with clients.

Many therapists decide as their career develops that they want to have more of a multidimensional service that’s not just about sitting one-on-one with clients. And they also realize that they want to be able to scale their business, both in the amount of people they are reaching but also in the amount of money they are earning.

Podcasting is one way you can get your voice heard by thousands or potentially even millions of people. Creating a podcast has never been easier. The barriers to entry are low. With a little marketing know-how and some basic tech knowledge you can be up and running and get thousands of downloads quite quickly. This means you can reach people who have never heard of you that need your help and you can begin to expand your business in ways you may have never thought were possible.

In this episode, Joe Sanok will cover some podcast basics such as how much time it takes to learn how to set up a podcast, monetizing what you love, how to deal with starting a podcast if you’re fearful of technology, and a success story of a therapist using a podcast to increase their impact on the world.
