    #191 - The 2 Ps That Make YOU Different

    In this episode of Podcast Growth University, I share something that might surprise you about podcast growth. Most shows are not struggling because the space is crowded. They are struggling because their effort is going in the wrong direction. I break down the shifts that separate podcasters who feel stuck from those who start gaining real traction. When you understand what actually moves the needle, audience growth, engagement, and monetization become much more predictable. If you have been working hard but not seeing the progress you expected, this conversation will probably feel familiar. If you are ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building momentum, press play, and let’s get to work.

    #190 - Nothing Is Going To Help You Until You Fix THIS

    Built in courage, proven in public. In today’s episode, I break down why fear of judgment quietly blocks podcast growth, audience acquisition, and monetization. After thousands of episodes and years of coaching creators, I have seen how hesitation and self-doubt slowly drain consistency and momentum. I share how to build repeatable systems, publish with confidence, and use real feedback to strengthen engagement, retention, and long-term results. This episode focuses on practical habits, scalable workflows, and the mindset behind sustainable success. If you want your podcast to run like a real business with a clear strategy and steady growth, this is your challenge.

    #189 - FEELING Lost Doesn’t Mean You Actually Are

    Are you growing your podcast but quietly wondering if you’re doing it wrong? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what really happens after thousands of recordings, launches, edits, and experiments. I share why feeling unsure does not mean you are failing, why clarity often comes after confusion, and why the most successful podcasters are constantly refining their message, audience, and strategy. This is a real conversation about podcast growth, personal evolution, creative pressure, and staying committed when the path feels blurry. If you care about building a meaningful show, reaching the right listeners, and turning your voice into long-term impact, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    In today’s episode of Podcast Growth University, I speak directly to heart-driven podcasters who started their shows to help others, not chase money.

Through real stories from my own journey, I explain how self-worth, boundaries, and clear goals shape long-term podcast growth. I also talk about how to balance purpose with profit, avoid burnout, and build a podcast that supports both your audience and your life.

    #187 - The Things You’re “Supposed To Do” Are Holding You Back

    Progress comes from alignment, not accumulation. In this episode, I explain why doing more often slows podcast growth instead of speeding it up. Following every rule can scatter your focus, limit audience growth, and delay monetization. I walk through how to simplify your workflow, protect your time, and focus on the few actions that actually move downloads, engagement, and revenue. This episode is about building repeatable systems and a long-term podcast strategy you can stick with, not piling on tasks that lead to burnout. If you want steady growth without chasing every new tactic, this episode will help you reset your priorities and move forward with confidence. Build the foundation first. Let everything else earn its place.

    #186 - What IF You’re Better Than You Think?

    What would change if you stopped waiting to feel ready and trusted yourself sooner? In today’s episode, I speak directly to podcasters and creators who feel stuck, hesitant, or unsure about taking the next step. This episode is about self-trust, momentum, and the cost of holding your content back. It is not about being perfect. It is about showing up before confidence catches up.  If you have episodes sitting on your hard drive or ideas you keep postponing, this episode will challenge you to move forward. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and real growth is the decision to start. Press record and put your next episode out.

    #185 - Products, Pricing, and Positioning

    In this episode of Podcast Growth University, I call out a mistake that keeps too many podcasters spinning their wheels. It sounds logical. It feels productive. And it quietly prevents real growth. I have seen it across thousands of episodes and coaching conversations, and I made it myself early on. This episode is for podcasters who are tired of guessing and want a clearer path forward.  If your podcast feels busy but not profitable, this will help you rethink what actually moves the needle and what does not. Listen with focus, not for comfort. The shift you are looking for starts here.

    #184 - The #1 Reason You Should Be Doing YouTube In 2026

    Growth gets easier when the system works with you. In today’s episode, I share a clear truth about podcast growth as we head into 2026. After thousands of episodes and years of coaching podcasters, I have seen what creates momentum and what quietly holds shows back. This episode is for podcasters who are consistent but stuck, putting in the work without seeing real traction. I explain why some platforms naturally support growth while others rely heavily on outside effort, and why predictability matters more than working harder. If you want more reach, better visibility, and results you can actually measure, this episode will challenge where you place your time and energy. Listen with intention, test with purpose, and build where growth already exists.
