One year ago, I started a podcast. (It’ll be FUN, they said!”)

Initially attracted by the thought leadership and speaking aspects offered by this medium, what really appealed to me was finding a viable way to build a community and grow my business without relying on tons of social media support.

And...it worked! 

That being said -- I could have done some things better. So, I'm using the occasion of our 1-year anniversary to pass along what I've learned along the way!

Whether you have a podcast (or might be thinking about starting one), these are the 9 most important things hindsight has granted me full view of from 1 year in. A little mini-podcast masterclass, if you will, and a GIANT expression of my gratitude to everyone who has come, and stayed (and subscribed!). Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.  

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• Why learning the tech is the least of it all
• The three ways I went wrong with my launch strategy
• Why ‘clear is always better than clever’ when it comes to choosing show names and episode titles
• All the small details that make or break an episode’s (and really the show’s) success
• How to choose what kind of help you need to keep recording (and publishing!) consistently
• How to prepare for the slow growth that podcasts tend to track on
• How to use your audience behavior to shape your episodes
• Why guests are not going to help you the way that you think they might
• How to reverse engineer your episode CTAs
• How to know if it’s all worth it, on a personal level (and professionally, because data!)
• Why building a podcast has felt like building a meeting house in all the best ways, and why knowledge sharing is my own personal theology
