Most people don't quit because they fail, but they fail because progress doesn't look the way they expected.
In this milestone Episode 100 of Mocktails with Marina, Marina reflects on what it actually takes to stay in the game (in podcasting, business, and the non-alcoholic industry) when motivation fades and results aren't linear.
This episode blends strategy, personal perspective, and industry call-outs to unpack:
-
Why most founders burn out or disappear
-
The biggest myths about consistency, visibility, and growth
-
What Marina would do differently if she were starting over today
-
Why systems matter more than talent or hustle
-
How podcasting became her most effective evergreen client acquisition strategy
