In this podcast episode, Ana and I discuss the mindset required for podcasting success. We tackle the common concern of "needing more downloads," emphasizing the value of progress and authenticity over raw numbers. We also explore the idea of success, emphasizing the importance of setting personalized goals rather than comparing oneself to others.
Ana explains what happens when a podcast goes viral, the importance of aligning goals with engagement capacity, and the need for a clear show goal. She also touches on the changing podcasting landscape, the role of early adopters, and encourages aspiring podcasters to take a leap of faith.
Finally she leaves us with a message to appreciate the present and nurture existing connections, recognizing that each step in the podcasting journey contributes to growth and impact in this dynamic landscape.
