What if the missing piece in your podcast growth strategy is not more content, but where you are putting it? In this week’s mailbag episode, we dig into real listener questions about getting unstuck, staying consistent, and whether a podcast can actually be too conversational. Along the way, the conversation shifts to a bigger question many creators are asking right now: is promoting your podcast on YouTube actually worth it? We break down what works, what does not, and how to approach YouTube in a way that supports real growth. From small daily actions to building momentum over time, this episode highlights why structure, consistency, and serving real people will always outperform chasing quick wins or vanity metrics.
