Shownotes Transcript

Are you worried about not just starting a podcast, but keeping it going? I dig into essential strategies for sustaining your podcasting journey, emphasizing the importance of knowing your "why." I share personal stories and actionable tips to help you identify your passion and maintain motivation.

From brainstorming episode ideas to understanding the time commitment, I encourage you to start small and seek feedback. I also discuss the significance of focusing on the aspects of podcasting you love, ensuring the process remains enjoyable and fulfilling.

Takeaways:

  • Understanding your 'why' is crucial for sustaining your podcast long-term and keeping you motivated.
  • Creating at least 10 episode ideas can help you maintain content flow and avoid burnout.
  • Start simple to avoid overwhelming yourself with complex setups and equipment.
  • Seek feedback from non-family members to ensure your content resonates with your target audience.
  • Recording practice episodes can help you gauge time investment and refine your skills before launching publicly.
  • Remember, not every podcast needs to last forever; it's okay to stop when your message is delivered.
