Amanda Kingsmith is a RYT-200 yoga teacher and yoga business consultant based out of western Canada, although she spends much of her time traveling the world with her partner, Ryan. Amanda came to yoga from a marketing & business background, and has a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in marketing from the University of Calgary.

Amanda combined her love of business with her love of yoga by starting M.B.Om, a podcast and online business focusing on the business side of yoga. She works with yoga teachers to help them create careers they love that are both sustainable long-term and financially abundant!

She is also the co-host of a popular travel podcast and blog called The World Wanderers, and works as an advisor for a growing apprenticeship program called Praxis. When she's not teaching or practicing yoga, you can find Amanda exploring all corners of the world, hiking, reading, writing, or enjoying a cup of tea!

In this episode, Amanda discusses how her podcast was borne out of her struggles finding paying jobs as a budding yoga teacher, why she experienced fear around starting her podcast even though she was already an experienced podcaster at the time, how the podcast led to the creation of her business, why she’s okay with knowing her podcast isn’t for everyone, the main things that contribute to her audience growth in a very niche market, the lessons she learned from her first podcast that she carried into the launch of M.B.Om, and more!
