Happy Friday Reader! Hard to believe sometimes, but I launched Podcast Junkies way back in 2014. For reference, the #1 song at the time was Pharrell Williams' "Happy", so that's cool! 😎 In the beginning, I was obsessed with creating new episodes. Every week, it was: What’s next? Who’s the next guest? What new story can I tell? But here’s what I’ve learned after over a decade behind the mic: Your best content often gets buried. Some of my most powerful interviews—conversations that changed me—were only heard by a handful of people. Because I was already off to the next thing. The reality is, most listeners don’t scroll back 100 episodes. They don’t remember that fire quote you dropped six months ago. And they definitely didn’t catch the insight buried in minute 32 of that solo episode you barely promoted. If I could go back and tell 2014 Harry one thing, it would be this: Stop constantly creating. Start amplifying. Podcast growth doesn’t come from volume. It comes from visibility. So, this weekend, dig into your archive.
Because the world doesn’t need more from you. It needs to actually hear what you’ve already said. —Harry 'Because I'm Happy' Duran |

It wasn’t just their story—it was the way they told it. The honesty. The energy. The unexpected clarity that came from that conversation stuck with me long after we hit “stop.” It changed the way I prep. It changed how I listen. It changed how I show up to the mic. We often think about the value...
It’s 11:10 as I write this email. I just realized that I hadn’t sent my daily email. You know, the one I’ve been sending since January of this year. And for a micro-second I thought, “oh well, I’ll just start again tomorrow.” Oh, hellllzzz no. Which is why I’m pecking this out on my iPhone. Consistency is good. Commitment is better.

Let’s get real for a second. Are you a podcaster… or just a content machine going through the motions? I ask because I’ve seen it—heck, I’ve lived it. You’re publishing every week. You’re consistent. But something feels off. You’re showing up… but not really showing up. That spark you had when you first hit record? Gone. The excitement about your message? Replaced with checklists and burnout. Here’s the hard truth: Consistency without intention is just noise. If you’re not clear on where your...
