“One of the biggest barriers to people starting their own podcast is because of the equipment needed to start their own show..”
I wanted to inspire anyone considering starting a podcast in 2025 with this episode. Podcasting changed my life—what began as a hobby is now a thriving business that connects me with people across the globe.
The barriers to starting your own show are lower than ever, and the opportunities are endless. From making lifelong connections to seeing your podcast climb the charts, the journey is as fulfilling as it is exciting.
One key takeaway I hope listeners embrace is to start with what you have. I’ve recorded episodes in less-than-ideal conditions with basic equipment, yet the content resonates with audiences because of its authenticity.
This episode is my way of showing that, whether you're a beginner with just a smartphone or someone looking to take their podcast to the next level, the only thing stopping you is taking that first step.
