Episode Summary:
Welcome to Episode 20 of The Podcaster’s Journey! Every 10 episodes, I sit down for an open and honest journal entry to reflect on the highs, lows, and lessons learned. In this milestone episode, I share my experiences from the past 10 episodes, focusing on challenges, workflow improvements, and personal growth as a podcaster.
From navigating consistency to adopting new tools like Squadcast and Descript, I talk about what’s working, what’s not, and how storytelling has shaped my content. I also discuss the inspiration I’ve gained from interviews and the goals I’m setting for the next 10 episodes.
If you’re a podcaster—or aspiring to be one—this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the struggles and victories of building a sustainable podcasting journey.
