#215: 5 Questions Before You Say Yes To The Next Podcast Invitation

Make It Visible

Not all visibility is created equal.
If you’ve ever wondered whether saying “yes” to a podcast guest spot is actually worth it—or felt unsure about paying to be on someone else’s platform—this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down 5 must-ask questions before applying to be on any show… because real visibility isn’t just about being everywhere.

It’s about showing up in the right rooms with the right message for the right audience.
Plus—I’m sharing the backstory of two coaches from our community who recently got podcast guest invites (and weren’t sure whether to say yes), and I’ll also be giving you a sneak peek into my brand-new membership for coaches who want to get seen and paid as speakers.
Whether you’re pitching yourself for podcasts, speaking gigs, or just starting to build your visibility strategy—this episode will help you stop second-guessing and start making aligned moves.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to decide if a podcast guest spot is actually worth your time (or money)
• The 5 questions every coach should ask before saying yes to any visibility opportunity
• Why exposure ≠ clients—and what to focus on instead
• How to finally get clear on where to show up and how to pitch yourself with confidence

Meet Your Host:

Hey there! I’m Michelle Kui—Visibility Marketing and Speaker Success Coach.

I’m the founder of Elevate LifeCoaching, where I help coaches like you build a stand-out brand, attract high-quality 5-6 figure clients, and land paid speaking gigs—all by leveraging the #1 most important asset in your business (hint: it’s not JUST social media!).

My Journey into Public Speaking & Visibility

My speaking journey started early—at 9 years old when my dad voluntold me to enter a speech contest (thanks, Dad!). Since then, I became the go-to speaker whenever someone needed a voice on short notice.

From leading corporate workshops to running training sessions, I thrived where most people froze—grabbing the mic while others sat back, hoping not to get called on.

After working with hundreds of coaches, I realized a HUGE missing piece that most entrepreneurs completely overlook—and it’s the #1 strategy top coaches use to grow their business, attract premium clients, and get booked on bigger stages.
