About the Conference

Make Your Podcast Work as Hard for Your Business as You Do

Podcasting can create much more than downloads.

A strategically designed business podcast can strengthen your authority, deepen professional relationships, support sales, create reusable content, improve internal and external communication, and open the door to new opportunities.

Podcasting for Business Conference is designed for people who create or manage podcasts as part of their work. It brings together practical guidance, real-world examples, expert conversations, and professional networking in an accessible virtual format.

You do not need millions of listeners to create a podcast that matters. You need a clear purpose, the right audience, an efficient process, and a strategy connected to your business goals.

Reena Friedman Watts

Former television producer and reality TV veteran who hosts the Better Call Daddy podcast

"Podcasting for Business Conference came at the perfect time! I had just done a presentation called “Are You Scared or Prepared for Podcasting? ”
This conference was a blast! I got to talk about why most podcasters quit, how to keep going, and why opportunities are often more important than downloads."

Megan Dougherty

A professional podcaster and co-founder of One Stone Creative

"Podcasting for business is different than podcasting for the love of the game. It just is. So I am thrilled that the Podcasting for Business Conference continues to bring practical insights, applicable strategies, and new ideas to business owners leveraging the medium. Tom Fox brings together an amazing lineup of speakers, and if you attend, you are guaranteed to learn something that will make your show more effective, more efficient, more profitable, and more fun. See you there! "

Brent Carlson

Founder of Red Flags Rising Solutions LLC and Host of Red Flags Rising Podcast

"Your voice matters. Someone out there will be keen to hear what you have to say and how it can help with the issues they face. Podcasting is all about connecting with others. In today’s world, the need for that connection stands clearer than ever. PFBCon provides a wonderful forum to connect and learn so we all can make a difference."

Michael Huneke

Partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Host of Red Flags Rising Podcast

"Podcasting is a creative act. There is not a linear path to follow to find your voice. Instead, you find your voice through trial and (a lot of) error. PFBCon was a great opportunity to share experiences and challenges with others, to learn from the PFB community, and to appreciate that you’re not alone on the journey."

Gordon Firemark

Attorney at Law / The Podcast Lawyer™
Firemark Entertainment Law

"Podcasting for your business is a different animal from podcasting AS a business, and PFBCon is specifically aimed at helping business owners who podcast. You will learn how to make podcasting work for your business, what to do, what NOT to do, and sneaky traps to avoid. PFBCon is a curated event that provides maximum value without the fluff you’ll find at typical podcast events. Learn from recognized experts who’re in the trenches using podcasts to help their businesses grow and thrive."

Sheila Slick, MS

Founder, Five Milestones LLC | PodtoBook.ai

Host of Milestone Moments in Business and Leadership

"PFBCon is where business podcasting gets real. As a speaker, I spoke about PodToBook.ai as a lesson in repurposing content to amplify visibility, and the proof is in the book, now available in paperback and Kindle.

The variety of speakers was impressive, with some delivering eye-opening stats and others bringing fresh perspectives that made the whole event both enlightening and educational."
