Episode notes
Define Your Podcast's Core Why
- Knowing your podcast's 'why' clarifies decisions and sustains long-term effort.
- A vague purpose lets production choices and business plans become muddied.
Be Yourself And Iterate By Season
- Accept experimentation and be unapologetically yourself rather than mimicking others.
- Iterate between seasons to reassess what's working and drop what doesn't.
Relax Into Conversation
- Lean into conversational tone rather than stiff scripting to build listener connection.
- Relax and treat the show like a friend-in-the-ear to grow engagement faster.
