If your podcast has felt off lately, you’re not alone. But before you decide to hit pause—or scrap the whole thing—you need to figure out what’s actually wrong.

Because most of the time?
 It’s not the podcast.

It’s the support system.
 It’s the strategy.
 It’s the pressure of doing everything yourself without knowing if it’s even working.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re talking about how to figure out whether your podcast is broken… or just under-supported. I’ll walk you through how to evaluate what’s really going on, what needs to change, and how to fix what’s not working—so you don’t throw away a tool that could be doing so much more for your business.

0:00 – Why this episode needed to happen
2:20 – What to do when your podcast starts to feel broken
5:45 – How to tell if the show is the actual problem
9:15 – Strategy vs. execution: where most podcasters get stuck
12:32 – The sneaky reason your podcast isn’t converting
16:50 – The difference between consistent and repetitive (and why you need both)
21:30 – What makes a podcast sustainable over the long term
23:21 – Why your show probably isn’t broken—it’s just not set up to work
26:50 – When to quit (and when to ask for better support instead)

Questions to Help You Evaluate What’s Actually Broken

  • Do I have a clear strategy behind what I’m saying and when?
  • Am I repeating myself enough for the message to stick?
  • Is my podcast aligned with my current offer and sales process?
  • Does my audience know what the next step is—and am I telling them regularly?
  • Am I trying to do all of this alone?
  • What kind of support would make this feel sustainable again?
