The #1 Reason Podcasters Get Stuck [And How to Fix It]

We were was testing a new GPT prompt today, and as we watched it generate responses, one line jumped out at me:

“Today is yours—go all in!”

It stopped our in my tracks because, honestly? That’s the mindset shift so many podcasters and entrepreneurs need.

A podcast isn’t just a fun side project or something you put on your to-do list for “someday.” It’s one of the most powerful tools you can use to establish authority, attract opportunities, and bring people into your world.

But too many people get stuck before they even start.

They overthink everything:

• Which platform should I host on?

• Which microphone is the best?

• How do I make my cover art stand out?

• Do I need an intro? A jingle? A full-blown branding strategy?

So, they head to YouTube and fall into an endless rabbit hole of conflicting advice. Should you do this or that? Should you invest in this software or that one? And instead of launching their podcast, they end up paralyzed by decisions that, in the grand scheme, aren’t what actually make a podcast work.

The Real Secret to a Successful Podcast? Starting.
