Podcast Decisions: The Balance Between Passion and Logic School of Podcasting - Plan, Launch, Grow and Monetize Your Podcast
-
- Marketing
In researching successful content creators, I came across quite a few young Youtuber who have six-8 figure subscriber counts, tons of money, and are absolutely miserable.
In looking at why someone would pressure something that was putting too much stress on their life it brought me back to passion (when emotions take over the decision making) and Logic (which only does things that make sense). I came across some new research and insights I wanted to share.
Please note this episode is clean, but does have some bleeped out words.
