I have listened to some episodes several times when confronted with specific client situations. it is reassuring to have proven practices behind the decisions. I’m taking to grow my business. Thanks Michael!

Actionable and approachable steps to build your consulting business

As someone starting a consulting buisness I found this podcast incredible useful
adam ryko

Exceptionally helpful

These podcasts are topical and I never walk away from an episode without at least 2-3 things I can immediately integrate into my practice. There is also a great aspect of this podcast that shows the human side of the consultants in a way that builds my confidence that “I can do this too”
KLbarrel

Killer insights

Each episode is different but they all offer killer nuggets of insight that is both prescriptive in application and thought provoking.

Nobody wants to be just another consulting firm with Sarah Heal

This podcast was spot on for me as I am in the process of starting a technical consulting firm and really want to specialize and be intentional with the firms platform. I have worked in the industry for 20 + years and have seen consultants milk companies and leave a bad taste which makes it hard for companies to leverage consultants support. Thank you for approving insight. Wendy Bigala

Love hearing the candid opinions!

It is super valuable for me to hear stories from other consulting leaders. I appreciate Michael’s efforts in bringing this content to the market and I’ll continue to tune in! Always great nuggets to take away.
FernanDelos

Inspiring

Dr DanV

Great Podcast

I love listening to this show. It provides real world consulting advice that is very relevant.
William J Leach

Finally a great podcast for consultants

Hey look, I like Guy Raz as much as anyone else, but listening to founders of cookie companies and QSRs just isn’t relatable to me. I couldn’t find any podcast that was for small consulting companies to help me grow. This one does it. I just listened to my first 2 episodes and found it inspiring, but also useful and actionable. The host asks the questions I would ask and probes to get clarity from canned answers either. The episode lengths are perfect to. Great job.
DenverLatte

Informative

I have been listening to Michael and his guests on this podcast for well over a year. I really enjoy the interviews and have learned several tips along the way.
BriannaDick77

the best business podcast!!

I consume a plethora of business and consulting related resources in Michael’s podcast is without a doubt the best. Even though I’m a single person in a niche market offering consulting, I still gain some thing from every single episode. He asks the questions that we all want to know, and he ensures that there’s clarity on any of the responses from his guess nothing is left up to the imagination, which is exactly what you want from a resource like this.
Rakh12

Thankful that I found this podcast

I’m currently trying to create my own consulting firm and this podcast is definitely helping. High quality, practical advice is given and the variety of guests helps giving a different perspective every time.

Great Interviews, Great Guests

I love podcasts. I listen to them nearly every day. But, there are only a handful, maybe only three, that I listen to regularly and this one is one of those. And I constantly find myself needing to take notes while I’m driving, so thank God for speech to text.
Chris BDNC

Great pod for a new business consultant.

Great podcast for a new business consultant. Lots of practical advice.
Quick and Effortless Savings

This Podcast is a Wealth of Knowledge

As someone starting their own consulting business, this podcast has provided some invaluable information packed into great interviews and links to amazing tools and resources.
Fabio DiMon

This Podcast Needs to be In Your Regular Rotation

I’ve been listening to this podcast faithfully for the better part of this year. I launched my consulting business in January & I was looking for actionable content that I could use to jump start my business. Why re-invent the wheel when I could leverage other successful founder’s’ experiences to avoid similar pitfalls? The episodes are always relevant, timely & provide nuggets of information that can be incorporated immediately. If you own a consulting business, this podcast is a must listen.
Jfox129

My go to for consulting success

For me, a new business founder and solo consultant, this podcast has become my go to for tips, suggestions, and consulting best practices. Michael and his guests consistently show up and share insights and ideas that I can immediately implement into my own approach to consulting. Thank you to the entire Consulting Success team.

A definite lift for your business!

This show has helped in so many elements of my business. Every week I hear about 10 tips that I can put into work that week. This is one of my favorite podcasts!!!! Thank you!!!
Casey Brown, Boost Profits

Love the content!

Maybe I’m biased because I’ve been a guest, but Michael and team curate great content and dive deeply into topics that are important for consultant entrepreneurs! Thank you!
MFMURP

Excellent Content

I just started diving into these. Excellent content, well organized and very efficient delivery of helpful insights. A must for any aspiring consulting organization. My little hack is that I play it back from archive at 1.75 to 2x speed. Get all the great content in half the time and catch up binge multiple episodes. Consulting Success practices what it preaches as you see their methodologies playing out in real time for their customers.

Consistently Relevant Info for Consulting Businesses

I don’t have time to waste on listening to too many podcasts, but I MAKE THE TIME to regularly check the Consulting Success list to see if there’s anything new that could bring some new insight on something I’m doing right (and II double down), something I’m doing wrong (and I need to rethink my course of action), or something innovative I should consider integrating. Thanks for always giving me pertinent info, right when I need it!
Sponz

Very practical information I can use right away

This is the podcast that really geeks out on all things consulting. Michael asks deep questions of his guests so listeners can really understand the formulas for solving problems and growing their practice of any size.
Englishmaninnm

Sparks ideas for me weekly

As a consultant in the early learning and care space and 3 years in - this podcast sparks great ideas for me weekly. While it is focused more on business than the social services sector I find find I can translate application…
Ryan RVA

Great show with deep insights

I listen to every episode of this show, and read Michael’s book, “Consulting Success.” The podcast deeply explores the consulting experience, and features consultants who typically have many years of outstanding success. I listened to this show for about a year before becoming a consultant myself, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve taken so many points of guidance from both Michael and his guests that it’s hard to imagine how I’d be consulting today without this show.
Jdlaverde

Michael is Fantastic

I have been listening to consulting success for a long time now. Every episode is is a training of its own. My life and Practice has been richly blessed by simply following consulting success.
Cher Hale

Helps me reclaim my time and value

I loved Michael’s conversation with Michele Benton. Anything that can help take back more of my time and better communicate my value (even when it’s only to myself!) deserves 5 stars in my book. Definitely keeping this show as a resource in my arsenal.
Brian @ BizDev Mastermind

This Podcast has Made Me Money

Starting in consulting in early 2019, going out in my own in mid 2020, and my wife joining in the business in 2021 - I’ve closely followed this podcast and learned a TON! From how to price services, how to land more clients, how to have a better mindset - I’ve implemented tangible steps into my processes that have resulted in more revenue among other benefits! I listen while running and ruminate on how this applies to me - then implement. Highly recommend the same process for anyone in consulting!

Consulting Podcast Is Pack Full of Information

As someone who approaches their client funding needs from a consultative perspective, I've come to value the information that is provided with the Consulting Podcast for it allows my team and I to better understand our clients' needs by focusing on asking the right questions and come across as authoritative in our field. Furthermore, it gives added value to our prospects and clients for them to consider their options when they are seeking working capital. AJ

Top source for consultants

If you are a consultant, or dream of becoming one, this podcast is for you! I’ve learned so much from Michael and his guests. I can’t begin to describe how insightful, and actionable the information is. In this crazy world of business, the information from each one of this podcasts provide something of value.
GregPro1

Truly Valuable Content

I began listening to the consulting success podcast when I was trying to figure out how to transition from my corporate job to running my consulting business full-time. I would pop an episode on in the car to and from my drive to work and the guests insights began to inspire and encourage me to continue working toward my goal. I think one of the greatest factors in keeping me engaged with the podcast is Michael’s ability to ask questions of his guests that really strike at the heart of what I seem to be going through at any given stage of the development of my business. He really seems to understand the hearts and minds of consultants that are working to grow and scale their businesses, no matter what stage of the process they may be. There are a lot of podcasts out there, but a few few that I have found that I come back for again and again and this is certainly one of them.
VikMey

Phenomenal series, MUST LISTEN

The Consulting Success podcast is the best resource for business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and even for employees. Michael is a wonderful interviewer and always asks each question in a way where his guests provide the best answers. The countless additional resources and case studies are a great tool in implementing the concepts that are being discussed. This is a “must listen” podcast; they consistently put out content on a weekly basis and in most cases, a bonus episode midweek to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit.
