If starting a podcast today, obsess over your concept and define what makes it different. Plan episodes thoroughly. The quality bar keeps rising, but that pushes you to get better. The speaker has 300 million downloads and says podcasting remains one of their best decisions.
If I was starting a podcast today, this is what I would do. I would obsess over the concept of the show. I would define what my unique value is as a podcast. I would plan every episode, understanding that the more time I use in the planning, the better the episode will be. And I would treat prep as a non negotiable. I believe that podcasting doesn't get easier over time. It actually gets harder because the bar rises not only for yourself, but the whole podcasting world every year gets more and more competitive. But. But that's also a good thing because it makes you better. And it's also still worth doing because I believe it's one of the best decisions Nicole and I have ever made is to start podcasting. And after 300 million downloads, I genuinely feel like we're just getting started.
