    Action Without a System Won’t Pay Off | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #377

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey discusses the real-world problem of taking action but not seeing results because the process is not documented and repeatable. During the conversation, the belief that “taking action is enough” is challenged when he explains how he started podcasting, learned skills over time, and later realized the missing piece was building a simple system.  He breaks down what it cost him to guess his way through business, what shifted when he started documenting what worked, and how that changed his results through repeatable steps, feedback, and consistent follow-up. This episode covers topics including podcast production, business systems, documentation, follow-up, sales through questions, marketing, consistency, and learning the language of business.  If you are trying to grow a business, build a repeatable process, or stop customizing everything for every person, this conversation focuses on turning action into a system you can run again and again.

    Posting Isn’t Enough to Get Clients | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #376

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey breaks down the real-world problem of posting content but not getting customers because you are not reaching out to people. He challenges the belief that “posting more” is enough by explaining why cold outreach matters, what it costs when you avoid it, and why having a script and process keeps you from winging random conversations. He also walks through simple number examples (10 per day for 10 days, 20 per day for 5 days) to show how consistency creates more chances for results. This episode covers topics including cold outreach, podcast business growth, getting podcast clients, call to action, follow-up touch points, consistency, and building a repeatable process. If you are trying to grow your podcast audience, build a podcast production business, or grow your business without spending money on ads, this conversation gives you a clear plan to execute. Terryl references his own experience producing 894 podcast episodes and explains how reaching out consistently removes second-guessing and helps you focus on one problem.

    Why You Must Focus on One Thing | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep # 375

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey discusses choosing the one problem to solve in his podcast business and why focusing on one clear offer matters. During the conversation, he explains the failure of trying to pivot into sponsorship opportunities before the platform was big enough. It cost him clarity, messaging consistency, and revenue focus. After receiving feedback that his platform was not large enough to charge sponsorship pricing, he shifted his thinking. Instead of trying to do multiple things, he decided to focus on helping thought leaders who are making three million dollars edit and publish their podcast consistently. This episode explores podcast editing, publishing, market research, business funding, consistency, messaging, and identifying the one thing that generates revenue. It highlights the difference between recording and the real problem: editing, publishing, and staying consistent. If you are a thought leader, entrepreneur, or business owner trying to understand how to make money from podcasting, this episode explains why focus, data, and system building matter more than switching strategies.

    The Layers of Business I Didn’t Understand | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #374

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey, Marine Corps veteran and podcast host, discusses the layers of business he did not understand when he first started recording content and launching a podcast. During the conversation, Terryl explains the failure he encountered in trying to build something without fully understanding marketing, sales, operations, and focus. He shares what it cost him to say yes to everything, to work in multiple industries at once, and to believe that “if you build it, they will come.” That mindset created distraction and slowed progress. He describes the shift that occurred when he realized he needed to pick one thing, focus on one business, and understand the language, systems, and education behind it. That shift led to clarity about helping thought leaders edit and publish their podcast to attract customers. This episode explores topics such as entrepreneurship, marketing, podcast production, focus, prioritization, education, business systems, CRM learning, content creation, and long-term growth. Listeners interested in building a podcast business, growing an audience, or learning how business really works will gain insight into how distraction turns into focus and how failure reveals the next layer. If you’re searching for insights on business focus, podcast production, entrepreneurship lessons, or how to grow a podcast audience, this episode provides a real-time, experience-based perspective.

    The System Behind My Podcast Growth Plan | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #373

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey explains why he is starting a ninety-day challenge to build a podcast production business and document the process from day one. He shares the failure of trying this challenge multiple times, what it cost him, and why he kept second-guessing himself. He explains the shift that happened when he stopped treating podcasting like “just content creation” and started seeing the podcast as a way to build relationships, increase touch points, and help podcasters grow their audience through a consistent system. Terryl breaks down what he is focusing on during the challenge: podcast, webinars (online training), and social media, plus consistent follow-ups. He talks about the sales process, how a sixty-minute conversation on a podcast can help people “know, like, and trust” you, and why consistent communication matters. This episode is for podcasters, business owners, and thought leaders who want a clearer plan for staying consistent and understanding what happens after you press record. Terryl also shares parts of his story, including being from Little Rock, Arkansas, joining the Marine Corps, and how he learned to keep showing up. If you’re searching for podcast consistency, podcast growth, podcast production business, touch points, or building relationships through podcasting, this episode shares the real mindset and system behind the ninety-day challenge.

    How 894 Episodes Taught Me to Keep Showing Up | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #372

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey talks about the importance of consistency and why “consistency always wins.” Terryl shares how he started “half a decade ago,” showing up every day even when “nobody was reaching out,” and how that process built skill, confidence, and momentum over time.  He explains the failure of expecting instant results, what it costs when you stop early, and how a shift in focus changes everything. This episode includes Terryl’s perspective on why “ninety percent of podcasts” stop at “episode number three,” why “only ten percent get to episode number twenty,” and why “the gratification is not instant.” He also connects consistency to focus, breathing, and discipline with a Marine Corps range example, and explains the difference between being proactive and reactive in business. If you are a thought leader, entrepreneur, or podcaster trying to grow your audience, this episode breaks down why results come after repetition, why every audience member counts, and why showing up when “no one is there” is where consistency is built.

    The Moment I Didn’t Record (And Lost) | With Terryl Humphrey | Ep #371

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey discusses the importance of capturing the moment in business, podcasting, and personal growth. He explains a failure that occurred during an in-person podcast recording when the microphone died after three minutes and seventeen seconds.  The conversation continued, but the sound was completely off. The moment was captured visually, but not with the right tools and preparation. That experience reinforced the cost of not being fully prepared and the importance of documentation. Terryl describes how capturing the moment is more than content creation. It is documentation. It is building your story. From recording a cooking YouTube channel years ago, to appearing on KATV news in Little Rock, Arkansas, to producing over 893 podcast episodes, he explains how documenting moments builds connection, awareness, and business growth. This episode explores podcast production, storytelling in marketing, audience growth, business development, personal discipline, and choosing your starting point.  Entrepreneurs, thought leaders, podcasters, and business owners will gain perspective on how moments create opportunity when they are documented with the right tools, skills, and mindset. If you are looking to grow your podcast audience, improve your podcast production, or understand how storytelling builds connection in business, this episode provides a grounded and experience-based perspective.

    Dividend Stocks That Make Your Phone Ding | with Terryl Humphrey and Stephen M Farrington | 370

    In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Steven, the writer behind Unemployed Value Degen on Substack, discusses mispriced stocks, research, and how disagreement creates opportunity in the market. He explains a failure moment that hit when he went from being a university professor to filling out job applications and feeling burned out.  He describes what that process cost him, and how writing on Substack “just for fun” led to a shift after his third article got retweeted and “fifteen thousand people saw it.” He explains how that shift turned into results, including building subscribers and writing for readers across places like Tampa, Maine, and even Kazakhstan. This episode explores topics such as econometrics, investing basics, dividend-paying stocks, risk and reward, and what research is like climbing a “watch tower” to see farther than other people.  Steven also explains why he thinks “the price is wrong” when the market prices in no growth, and why he believes investing is “a positive sum game.” If you’re searching for insights on mispriced stocks, dividend stocks, research, and how people disagree about the future, this episode provides a grounded, experience-based perspective.
