You CAN get your message out to the world in a much bigger way … and you can do it through podcasting. I’ll show you how.
Get Your Message Out There!
- You have a story to tell or a message to share. You’d love, more than anything, to share it in a big way … but you aren’t sure how to get in front of your tribe—the people you’re here to serve.
- Right now, you’re a big fish in a little pond, but you dream of swimming through the world’s oceans, becoming well-known by your people everywhere.
- You know that what you have to say is important. Yet, you often wonder if you’re good enough, smart enough, young enough … just enough … to share your story.
- Clients often tell you “More people need to know what you’re saying”, but you have no idea how to get the word “out there”.
If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place. And you are enough.
Why Podcasting?
Now is the time to share your story...
I believe graveyards are filled with too many people who died with their stories inside of them, and it’s my mission to change that.
You see, I have a message inside of me, too, and it’s this:
Your story matters. And it could change the lives of so many people.
Podcasting is the wave of the future.
This incredible medium is growing by leaps and bounds. It’s a worldwide venture, unlimited by time zones or telephone wires. Yet even with a million podcasts in existence, only about a quarter of them have put out new content in the past 90 days … which means you CAN rise “above the noise” in podcasting.
It's FAR easier than you think!
Keep in mind that there are more than 440 million blogs online, and more than 25 million YouTube channels.
This Means There Is HUGE Potential in Podcasting Right Now … Potential to Become an Expert in Your Field, Find Your Community, and Share Your Message (and, Earn More Money!)
I launched my first podcast in just 14 days after learning what a podcast was. Now, it can be done even faster! And the amount of work to keep a show running successfully is super easy with the right tools and guidance - guidance which I’m ready to share with you on many different levels.
Get the tools you need to launch your show, grow your audience, and monetize it all along the way.
Can You Relate?
“The Hesitant One”
Meghan was concerned that hosting a podcast wasn’t necessarily a viable business strategy. She didn’t want to take on any extra work that would also generate a great return on her investment of time and energy. When she finally saw the sense in launching her own show, she landed a $10,000 retreat client within the first 30 days of going “live”.
“The Prepared - Unprepared One”
Rachel knew she wanted to have her own show. She knew it so much that she created her own custom show music, and 12 highly produced and polished episodes before she even launched. Then she realized that she knew nothing about the podcasting industry itself. That’s when she met Michael and discovered how ill-prepared she actually was for launch day. Together, they developed a launch plan as well as a post-launch strategy and even ways to monetize the show right out of the gate.
“The Busy One”
Emma had no intention of starting a podcast when she first met Michael, but that all changed when she found out that it could be done without putting a big burden on her already busy schedule. She launched her show and watched it grow a while before she realized that she could even add a SECOND show to her repertoire and now she is reaping the benefits of a broader audience and even more authority in the space.

- You are driven by money, status, or ego over the commitment to be of service to humanity.
- You aren’t willing to take action today so that you can reap the rewards in the future.
- You are expecting success to be handed to you without playing full out and committing.
- You want to be liked by 100% of the people 100% of the time.
- You are worried that others may not agree with you or your message.

“Working with Michael has been a real gift. When I first met him, it was not even on my radar to start a podcast. I was scared, I was nervous… yet, working with Michael – he is so knowledgeable, he is so patient, he is so authentic – and he understands how to help people, step-by-step, to learn what they need to learn in order to run their podcast successfully.”

Be a Visionary...
The greatest visionaries of our time — and the greatest contributors to modern society — have had brilliant ideas about where the future was headed, and have taken action to share their messages and ideas.
Think Henry Ford with the automobile, Steve Jobs with personal computer phones, Marie Curie with her study and use of physics, Madam CJ Walker (the first female millionaire in the U.S.) with business, and Zhang Zin (the Chinese real-estate magnate) with the reshaping of Beijing’s real-estate landscape.
Hockey great Wayne Gretzky said it best. He attributed his success to always knowing — and going to — where the puck was going to be, rather than where it was at the moment.
That’s what each of these visionaries did.
And that’s what you have a chance to do now. Podcasting is where that puck is going to be.
Now is the time to master it, and make it part of your strategy for getting your message out there. Because the world needs it.
I can’t wait to help you share it!
in the Zero to Launch Podcast Accelerator today so that you can amplify your voice and share your message with the world!

For anyone that is considering working with Michael – you are in for a treat!"
I’m Michael Neely, messenger of messengers. I’m an Authority Strategist and Business Mentor, and the founder of the Authority Academy, where I teach people like you—heart-centered business people with a desire to change the world through their gifts—to weave together the four pillars of authority in a sequence that makes them exponentially more powerful and reduces the amount of time required to truly move the needle.
I’ve been podcasting since 2014; my first show has more than two million downloads. I now host four shows of my own and have released more than 500 episodes. I’ve helped launch hundreds of podcasts.
My latest venture, The PodQuest Show, is all about podcasting, in support of helping other podcasters become more successful.
I launched my first podcast in 2014 and the Authority Academy in 2018. In it, I teach the four pillars I mentioned earlier—they are podcasting, virtual summits, speaking from stage, and getting published.
Over time, podcasters with many more years of experience were coming to me with their questions and asking for my support.
I realized that in my own deep dive into the industry, I had mastered techniques—and even developed a process of my own—for speeding up the journey along the road to success.
I knew I could serve people better by creating a course around what I’d learned, and that is how the Zero to Launch Podcast Accelerator was born.
Still Have Questions?
I need to make money from my business, and a podcast will only cost me more, right? So why should I consider launching one?
I’m already too busy as it is! Won’t a podcast take up a bunch more of my time?
What if I’m not an "expert" with additional letters after my name?
How difficult is the tech for a non-techy like me?
What if I’m not sure what I want to make my show about?
Shouldn't I wait until my book is done, or my online course is ready to sell?
If podcasting is so easy, why is your training $1,997?
Are there other ways to work with you and get access to your experience and knowledge?
I’m not sure I’m ready to launch. How long is this program good for?
Right now, you’re at a crossroads.
You have a choice:
You can either take action now, and master the medium of podcasting…
- If you take action now, you’ll finally start sharing your message in a bigger way.
- In the meantime, because you have expert guidance, you can skip all the messy “lessons” and wasted time, and instead – fast-track your success.
- You’ll begin to build an audience who knows, likes, and trusts you.
- That audience will only grow as you expand your network, access hard-to-reach experts, and develop new, long-lasting relationships (with podcasters and listeners).
- Which means you’ll have a steady stream of leads when you do your next launch.
- All the while, you’ll have the potential to start making money, because you realize that now is the time to get in on this.
Or, you can continue doing what you’ve been doing, and keep getting the same results...
- If you don’t take action and simply continue doing what you’re doing, it’s likely that a year from now, you’ll be standing in the same spot.
- Rather than being where the puck is, you’ll be behind it, swinging your hockey stick at empty space.
- While other podcasters are building relationships with your potential customers, you’ll be leaving dollars on the table because you haven’t yet reached those people.
- You may do guest appearances to expand your reach, but it’s nothing like having your own show in terms of building a following that’s devoted to YOU.
- And, even if you try to piece together all the free podcasting training you can find online, chances are you’ll be putting yourself on the long route to success.
So, what's it going to be?
Take a stand for the message burning inside of you. You've been waiting a long time. The wait is over.
Step up to play full out and go BIG!
The world is
