    The Ripple Effect of Relationships: Trevor Houston’s Playbook for Podcasting + Profit
    Sep 16 2025
    Ever wonder how some people seem to always land next-level opportunities, top-tier guests, and life-changing connections? Spoiler alert: it’s not luck — it’s strategy, baby. In this episode of the Communication Queen podcast, Kimberly Spencer sits down with Trevor Houston, host of the Who You Know podcast, to reveal how podcasting can be your ultimate networking superpower. Trevor shares how he went from starting a show in 2018 to landing interviews with big names like Grant Cardone, Elena Cardone, and Rachel Cruze — and how each guest became a stepping stone to the next big door. But this conversation goes way deeper than guest lists. Trevor breaks down his “Push Power to Power” philosophy, how to create genuine win-win relationships (without feeling like a leech), and why presence and active listening are the secret weapons of next-level networking. We also dive into how to turn podcast interviews into content machines, how to add value without being pushy, and why you should bless them, block them, and protect your energy when trolls show up. If you’ve ever wanted to use podcasting to grow your network, uplevel your circle, and create opportunities that align with your mission — this is your permission slip to play bigger. 😎Get booked on the TOP 5% of podcasts that can build your brand awareness and your bottom line.

    Show the F* Up & Win: Aria Leighty on Intentional Networking, Community & Queen Energy
    Sep 2 2025
    What if the key to unlocking your next level of impact, income, and influence wasn’t the perfect pitch, the polished funnel, or the “professional” mask… but simply showing the f* up**? In this unapologetically raw and empowering episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with networking queen Aria Leighty, whose superpower is building intentional, transformational connections. Together, they unpack why 80% of success really is just showing up, how our glitter, shoes, and statement pieces can be business cards, and why authenticity always beats the buttoned-up version of “professional.” Aria shares her three golden principles—listen, give a shit, and follow through—and how these deceptively simple practices make you the richest person in the room. From redefining networking as relationship-building (not sales!) to breaking free from the toxic hustle of vanity metrics, Aria reveals how community—not just audience—creates sustainable success. Whether you’re a podcaster, coach, entrepreneur, or visionary ready to disrupt the “quiet, good girl” conditioning, this conversation will light a fire under your stilettos and remind you that your story, your voice, and your presence are your most powerful assets. This isn’t just a chat about networking—it’s a masterclass in owning your audacity and building a business rooted in authenticity, connection, and impact. 😎Get booked on the TOP 5% of podcasts that can build your brand awareness and your bottom line.
