In this episode, I share the best advice I could ever give a podcaster—and it’s not about luck, going viral, or chasing overnight success. It’s about building a real, sustainable strategy. Whether you’re just getting started or wondering why your great content isn’t converting, I break down the honest truth about what actually works. Expect real talk, practical tips, and hard-earned lessons from hosting over 1,000 episodes and leading 18 rounds of group coaching.
