Most podcasts don’t fail because the idea is bad.

They fail because the someone was thinking more about their ego than their audience. Or because they didn't realise how important consistency was to podcast success. Or because they set unrealistic goals for a new podcast and lost the motivation to keep going.

In this episode, I walk through the five mistakes I see new podcasters make all the time and how to fix them before they cost you your podcast.

What you’ll learn

How to refine an idea that's 'too general' so new listeners instantly get it
The difference between making a show for your ego vs. your audience
The publishing cadence that works best if you're trying to grow
Why consistency matters more than anything
How to set goals that will keep you motivated (and still help you grow)
