If you’re still sitting on a podcast idea because you’re waiting for the “right” time, let me stop you. What you’re actually doing is waiting for perfect. And perfect is just procrastination with better branding. While you’re busy “getting ready,” somebody else is already publishing and getting in front of your clients.

I’ve put out 689 episodes of this show. Do I think they’re all good? Nope. Do I think any of them are perfect? Absolutely not. But they exist. They work. They connect with people. And that matters way more than the drafts collecting dust in Google Drive.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’m talking about how perfectionism shows up for podcasters, why it costs you visibility and clients, and what you can do to get your first episodes out even if they’re messy. Because messy works. Perfect doesn’t.

00:39 — Why perfectionism feels safe but actually keeps me stuck

04:20 — The Ira Glass “taste vs. skill” gap and how I see it play out with podcasters

07:56 — Why I’d rather improve than be perfect (and how 689 episodes prove it)

10:22 — The cost of hiding — lost visibility, lost trust, lost clients

12:32 — Why my crummy first episode was better than every draft I never published

13:56 — How I coach clients to experiment without the pressure of perfect

14:44 — How the Podcast Launch Accelerator helps me keep perfectionists moving
