If you're a new or aspiring podcaster, this episode will give you a real-world look at what it’s like to build and grow a show. I share what I’ve learned the hard way after five years and two podcasts.

In this solo episode, I share the techniques I wish I knew when I started podcasting 5 years ago. From choosing a format to staying consistent, these lessons come from experience — not theory.

Some of the things I highlighted

🔹Start with a clear format and platform. Audio-only or video? Free or paid hosting? I recommend paid platforms like Buzzsprout for wider reach and support.

🔹Solo episodes position you as the expert. Interviews are great for shining the light on guests, but solo content builds trust with your audience.

🔹Use episode numbers. Makes it easier to reference past episodes on-air, in writing, or while guesting on other shows.

🔹Leverage transcripts and video clips. They boost discoverability, accessibility, and give you great promotional content in less time.

🔹Be consistent. Listeners build routines around your show — if you disappear for weeks, they may not come back.
