Think you ‘don’t have time’ to podcast? The problem isn’t time—it’s the system. A well-structured workflow means recording one day per month can keep your show consistent. AI tools, batching episodes, and outsourcing editing can free up hours. The key isn’t working harder—it’s working smarter. Most podcasters struggle with inconsistent publishing not because they lack time, but because they’re stuck in inefficiency. They: [X] Record one episode at a time instead of batching. [X] [X] Spend...

Gotta love Mondays Reader! A clean slate. A fresh start. There's nothing better than starting the week off on the right foot. You've got your week planned out, your calendar's looking great and you're motivated to get stuff done! It's when you don't have a plan that things start to feel overwhelming. Not necessarily because of the tasks, but due to fear of the unknown. Starting a podcast can be similar—not because of the tech, but because of the fear. Fear of not sounding ‘good enough.’Fear...

What's the weekend mean for you Reader? Personally, Sundays are my reset button. It’s the day I step back, reflect, and set my intentions for the week ahead. I think about what went well, what needs tweaking, and how I can show up better—not just in my personal life, but in my work, my relationships, and everything I create. Because when you pause and plan with intention, you stop drifting through the week. And this applies to podcasting too. The best hosts don’t just hit record and hope for...

Gotta love Saturday projects! Today, my partner and I did a full clean-out of our chicken coop. Last week's snowfall resulted in their coop getting wet and we knew that was not healthy for them. So off I went to buy the supplies—fresh pine flakes, lime, and a bag of sand. But as we got started, we quickly realized something… we were going to need three more bags of sand. Ugh. For a second, I thought about just making do with what we had. After all, we could still move forward, right? But...

Be honest Reader—are you treating your podcast like something worth growing, or are you playing small? I see it all the time. Podcasters put in hours creating episodes they’re proud of. But when it comes to actually promoting their show? They shrink. They quietly publish.They tell themselves “I don’t want to be pushy.”They assume “If my content is good, people will find it.” But here’s the truth: No one can find what you’re afraid to put out there. Podcasters who grow aren’t louder—they’re...

We got hit with a big snowfall overnight, and I just spent the last hour shoveling. Not exactly how I planned to start my morning. But here’s the thing—it had to get done. So that meant a layer of thermals, lacing up the Rockies boots, putting on the winter coat and trudging out to the shed to get the shovel. I could’ve ignored it, but the snow wasn’t going anywhere. I had to shift my morning schedule, adjust my priorities, and just do the work. Podcast growth works the same way. So many...

When I launched my first podcast, Podcast Junkies, back in 2014, I believed one thing: "Create great content, and the listeners will come." I was wrong. I spent hours crafting thoughtful interviews, refining my editing, and making sure every episode sounded professional. But my audience? It barely grew. It took me way too long to realize that podcasting isn’t just about creating—it’s requires active promoting. The moment I started treating my podcast like a business—actively marketing every...

We’ve been spending a few days in Panama City Beach, FL, escaping the Minnesota cold. One building that caught my eye is WonderWorks—the upside-down house. If you’ve never seen it, imagine a full-sized mansion flipped on its roof, like it crash-landed from another dimension. Kids love it. People stop and stare. It’s impossible to ignore. Now, imagine if that same building were just… normal. A regular house, sitting right-side up. Would anyone really notice? Probably not. Foot traffic would...
