“Most podcasters focus on producing more episodes, hoping visibility will eventually come,” said Dr. Austin. “The truth is, visibility is built intentionally. PR, positioning, and credibility signals—like awards and media features—are what create momentum, demand, and opportunity. In this session, I’m showing podcasters exactly how to make that shift.”

Unlike traditional PR or AI education that focuses solely on tools and workflows, Dr. Austin’s work sits at the intersection of AI, marketing, publicity, media, and leadership positioning. Her proprietary framework, The Fame Formula™, integrates five core pillars: Position, Publish, Promote, Publicity, and Profit. Now enhanced with AI systems and AI voice cloning, the framework allows leaders to scale influence and authority without scaling their time.

At Podfest, Dr. Austin will break down how podcasters can:

• Build authority without chasing downloads
• Use PR and awards strategically to stand out
• Attract media, speaking opportunities, and partnerships
• Convert visibility into revenue and long-term brand equity

Podfest Multimedia Expo is one of the largest podcasting conferences in the world, known for its tight-knit creator community and hands-on education for podcasters, content creators, and entrepreneurs.

Author Max Miller Releases
New Self-Help Book
“Blame It on the Feel of Pain”
About Detangling From Past Pain

Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.

The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.

Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
