In this excerpt, the host (Speaker A) shares his initial nervousness about launching a podcast, worrying that he couldn’t match big‑name leadership shows like Jocko, Teach Me to Fish, or Andy Frisella’s MFCEO. He realizes that podcasts serve many niches and that not every listener wants the same style. The conversation shifts to the joy of meeting guests and the value of even a single download—whether it’s his mother or his son playing the episode at night. The dialogue underscores that small, personal audiences still provide meaningful impact and can motivate creators to push past fear.

think. So if somebody's nervous about it, it's, it's easy. There's always gonna be people out there that want to listen. There's, there's niches everywhere. Yeah. Like, that's what I was nervous about at first. Like, oh, there's all these great leadership podcasts, right? Like Jocko and the Teach Me to Fish one I listen to, and Andy Frisella with MFCEO. And I was like, how do I match that? I was like, well, not everybody wants that, you know? Like, some people want to hear from other people. And I was like, even if it's one person, like the guy on my show, that's what I love about it too, that people think I don't do a lot of these episodes for a lot of people. Um, so I think that's what's fun about podcasting. You probably feel the same way. You get, you get to meet people.
Yeah.
And if somebody else just, even if it's just one download, you know, like that's amazing. You know, even if it's my mom, I don't care. You know, my son puts it on when he has his dang Amazon at night. He'll put on my podcast. Like, is he learning anything? I don't know, but it's cool because maybe there is something he learns, you know?
You know what's cool about that too? Like whenever you have kids and 30 years down the road, we're here or we're not here. That is cool. Yeah. Our kids and their kids will have a chance to get to know us. That's very interesting to think about. That format.
