The
Love Life Live Well podcast, created and hosted by Emma Cartmell, founder and
CEO of CHS Events, sees its season two drop this week, having surpassed 60,000 downloads since its launch earlier this year.
Season
one gained critical acclaim from launch as Cartmell introduced the ‘lifestyle
magazine for your ears’. Since then, the programme, which
interviews experts from across academia, business, personal development,
wellness and self-care communities, has grown both outside of the events
community and globally across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the US. The
60,000 figure puts it in the top 1 per cent of all podcasts worldwide.
“The podcast started as a passion product, but also one that we really wanted to
work for our partners within the CHS community,” said Cartmell. “So many of
the businesses we work with have lifestyle products, from restaurants and spas
to leisure breaks, golf and attractions. Growing a consumer audience both in
the UK and internationally gives them more options to grow their businesses
with us.”
Speaking
on the success of the podcast,she added: “We had that initial concept of ‘a lifestyle magazine for your ears’ and we were fortunate enough to find
interviewees that could bring it to life. We’ve had speakers discuss everything
from grief to journaling, from habit stacking to digital decluttering,
leadership to aromatherapy. They’ve all resonated with the audience who have
become our advocates, shared, endorsed, and spread the word to a really
humbling amount of people.”
Guests
at CHS Leeds earlier this year will also have seen a special mini-series
created at the show, where Cartmell interviewed a number of guests at the event.
This series reached more than 18,500 downloads in its own right. CHS Birmingham will also see the return of Love Life Live
Well live on the show floor and the release of a second mini-series at the
back end of the year.
Series
Two drops this week and sees Cartmell interview experts covering subjects from the
menopause in the workplace, to imposter syndrome, money matters to ordering
wine from a sommelier, all mixed in with inspiring life stories from special guests.
