👉🏽 If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast or you started one and quietly gave up, this episode is for you.
I just recorded episode 500 of the Confidence Chronicles. I started in my husband’s car, his loud muffler going, my e-tag beeping because I hadn’t paid the toll, my baby in the back seat, my phone shaking. No studio, no audience, no plan.
Eight years later this podcast has 3.2 million downloads across 60+ countries and is the number one business pillar in everything I have built.
In this episode I am sharing the 14 lessons that got me here, the ones nobody tells you before you hit record for the first time.
- Why recording just 21 episodes puts you in the top 1% of podcasters in the world
Why consistency builds everything, even when no one is listening yet
How your podcast name affects whether people can find you at all
Why your solo episodes will almost always outperform your guest episodes
How to repurpose clips without losing people in the first three seconds
Why you need both intuition and strategy to scale, and what happens when you only have one
If you are sitting on the idea, if you lost momentum, or if you are deep in it and wondering whether any of it is worth it, this one is for you.
