Hey Reader, Ever have a thought so vivid it felt like it was knocking at your chest, but the words simply wouldn’t come? That knot of frustration, the sense that you’re unable to clearly articulate your ideas, can leave you feeling totally unseen. When I started recording conversations back in 2014, I quickly learned that ordinary voices can carry extraordinary power. You don’t need perfect sentences or fancy equipment—just permission to notice what’s already inside you. Give yourself a...

We're talking growth Reader! A few weeks ago, my partner and I started our garden from seed. We cleared off an old shelf. Set up LED lights. Planted trays of tiny, hopeful seeds. It’s nothing flashy—just a simple, intentional system. And that’s exactly why it’ll work. You see, the craziest thing is that within 24 hours we spotted the beginnings of the tiniest of sprouts. One day! See, growth—whether we’re talking tomatoes or podcasts—isn’t magic. It’s structure. Environment. Support. It’s...

Reader, Let me tell you something I’ve seen behind the scenes: The podcasters who are growing the fastest right now? They’re not working harder. They’re not recording more. They’re not glued to their laptops at 1am editing reels and writing posts. They’re using AI tools with intention. And no, I’m not talking about spammy bots or soulless automation. I’m talking about a smarter, more sovereign way to run your podcast. They’ve built workflows that take one powerful episode and turn it into: ✅...

If you’re still waking up wondering “What should I post about my podcast today?”—you’re solving the wrong problem. It’s not a creativity issue. It’s a structure issue. You don’t need more ideas—you need a system that turns every episode into a week’s worth of scroll-stopping content. A way to take what you’re already saying and repurpose it across platforms without starting from scratch each time. I’ve been deep in this with clients, and I’ve seen it over and over:Once you lock in your...

If your podcast feels stuck Reader, here’s a tough truth: It’s probably not your gear, your voice, or your guest list. It’s your lack of clarity. You’re trying to be too many things to too many people. Your show description is vague. Your titles are cute but confusing. Your calls to action? Nonexistent or buried. When your podcast lacks direction, your audience can’t follow it—let alone grow with it. This is the Clarity stage in The Podcaster’s Labyrinth. It’s where the real pros break...

Let’s be real Reader—hitting “publish” isn’t enough anymore. You pour hours into recording, editing, and uploading an episode… and then what? You hope someone finds it? That’s not a growth strategy. That’s a gamble. Podcasting isn’t just about creating—it’s about getting your content in front of the right people, consistently. That’s the Expansion phase of The Podcaster’s Labyrinth. It’s also where most creators get stuck. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to hustle harder to solve...

Let’s talk about the real reason your podcast (or podcast plan) isn’t getting the traction you want. It’s not the algorithm.It’s not your mic.It’s not even the competition. It’s that you’re still hiding. You’re holding back. You’re tiptoeing around your real message, diluting your voice with disclaimers and playing it safe with your message—hoping people will just find you. I get it. I used to do the same. But here’s the truth: you cannot build authority if you’re still waiting for...
