It's time to let go of the podcasting rules ... because they don't exist! In this episode, I get real on the so-called rules so you can have fun with podcasting as an "art form," filled with play.

When you let go of the made up rules that tell you perfect audio quality and downloads equal success, that's when you create real authenticity and show up week after week because you freakin' LOVE what you do as a podcaster.   

I also discuss the confusion about productivity and how embracing the playful side of podcasting is really the productivity you need, because it leads to more engagement and meaningful connections with your audience, because your listeners feel your energy and vibe.

What you'll learn:

  • Why it's important to focus on the joy of the process instead of obsessing over perfect audio quality, downloads, or strict rules
  • Spontaneity and structure: balance these two aspects in both podcasting and life for a more engaging and enjoyable experience
  • Rethinking productivity: Recognize that productivity is not just about time spent behind a desk, but also includes moments of creativity and inspiration

When you let go of rigid rules and enjoy the play of podcasting, your listeners will feel the energy too, and then you'll approach podcasting with a sense of childlike wonder and excitement, resulting in better audience engagement and more meaningful connections with your peeps. :)
