How To Put Yourself in Other’s Orbits (Orbit Jumping 101)

In My Non-Expert Opinion

269: “Make it easy for interesting people to find you.” - Chelsea Riffe
In this episode, Chelsea shares the behind-the-scenes story of how one podcast interview changed her entire business trajectory. She unpacks the power of proximity, how to get into the right rooms, and the real art of visibility that leads to booked-out services and dream collaborations.

Snippets from the episode:

• This one interview alone got me 500 new followers, a one-on-one roster booked out for six months… People stayed in my world for over four years because of one podcast interview.
• We’re not here to just operate with people chasing views and vanity. When you’re putting yourself in someone else’s orbit, you’re doing it because you’re aligned—values, vision, and vibe.
• If you’re not consuming someone’s content on a pretty regular basis, the pitch is going to be harder for you. Do your homework.
• Proximity creates familiarity. Familiarity builds trust. Trust opens doors.
• This isn't just about networking—it’s about creating actual relationships that open portals, not just doors.

This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing random likes and start curating your own corner of the internet where visibility leads to actual opportunities (and maybe a few dream DMs). Let’s orbit intentionally, yeah?
