Thinking about launching your podcast this quarter? Start here.


Let's get right to it Reader:

We're 2 quarters in 2025 and yes, time does go by fast.

If you’ve been holding onto a podcast idea but haven’t made a move yet, here’s a quick way to get unstuck.

Before you worry about gear, guests, or episode titles…

Let’s make sure your concept is clear and compelling. That’s the foundation.

This week, I’m offering a short custom review for anyone who wants feedback on their podcast idea—what’s strong, what’s missing, and how to turn it into a show that actually gets heard.

No pitch. No pressure. Just a fresh set of eyes from someone who’s interviewed over 500 guests and helped launch 130+ shows.

Want in?

Just reply with the word "review" and I’ll follow up with a simple next step.

You don’t have to build it alone.

But you do have to start.

Welcome to the weekend Reader! What if the thing stalling your podcast… isn’t really time? I’ve seen it over and over again. Smart, capable folks stuck in the “almost ready” zone. Not because of gear. Not because of scheduling. But because of hesitation disguised as planning. “I just need to get through this week.” “Once things slow down a bit...” “I’ll launch when I feel more confident.” Here’s what I tell my clients: Clarity comes from doing. Momentum builds after you hit record—not before....

Let’s talk about the real reason your podcast hasn’t launched Reader. It’s not your schedule. It’s not your tech. It’s not your to-do list. It’s indecision. We tell ourselves we’re waiting for the “right” time. But time doesn’t create clarity—movement does. When I work with clients, we often find that the thing they’re “waiting on” is really just a mask for fear. Fear of visibility. Fear of being judged. Fear of not getting it perfect.
