In today’s episode of Podcast Growth University, I break down one of the biggest traps podcasters fall into without even realizing it by choosing pricing that feels good on paper but destroys real-world momentum. AI tools like ChatGPT often push creators toward high-ticket numbers that look impressive, yet almost no one will actually pay. I’ll show you why sustainable pricing wins, how I learned this the hard way, and the simple shifts that help you get more clients, grow faster, and build real confidence in your business.
If you’re ready for clarity, honesty, and a strategy you can actually use, this one’s for you. Hit play and step into the version of yourself your audience has been waiting to hire.
