Manage episode 520462000 series 3552050
Your first minute can make or break listener trust, and you might be surprised by how quickly listeners decide whether to stay or go. Today, we take a close look at Sean McClellan’s Motivation: Not Letting Fear Control You from his podcast The Space Between and unpack what podcasters at every level can learn from it. We break down where the episode shines, where it stumbles, and how small tweaks in structure, pacing, audio setup, and intro strategy can completely reshape the listener experience.
