Using Podcasts to Tell Your Story with Rob Scheerbarth from Podcast Rocket [BONUS: ASK THE EXPERT] – Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
In this bonus episode of Ask the Expert, Annie & Leah interview Rob Scheerbarth of Podcast Rocket about his journey of starting a podcast agency with his wife, and how they help brands share their stories and expand their marketing efforts to a world where your ideal clients are already listening. As Rob is a storyteller at heart, he simplifies it for us and asks: What kind of story do you want to tell?
Rob Scheerbarth is the Creative Director at Podcast Rocket, the podcasting agency he started with his wife. He’s always loved telling stories and that’s why he originally got involved with video games, because the idea of being able to tell an interactive story was really appealing to him.
Rob first was attempting to create his own video game company, but he then realized that the biggest challenges these brands of businesses were facing, came down to awareness and marketing. So he and his wife ended up as the owners of Podcast Rocket, and they’re helping brands tell their stories and reach out to their audience.

07:10 “The main point to consider is that podcasting is part of the marketing efforts that your business or brand is trying to do. And the way that you have to present it is by telling your story and just being real and authentic.”
10:06 “So if you’re trying to figure out what they want to hear about what topics they want to invest, time and effort into learning more about is asking yourself, what do my clients ask me?”
