Welcome to Season 3 of Let's Blow This Up! We are kicking off this brand-new season with the first installment of in our Co-Host Collective Series.

In this episode, Jason Cercone is joined by Marc Ronick of iRonick Media and Simona Costantini of Volt Productions for a deep dive into the proper mindset every podcaster needs to experience growth and longevity in this space. Without question, it’s the mental approach that sets the foundation for long-term success in podcasting.

We'll also explore why many new podcasters are hesitant to embrace the word "authenticity" and why it’s essential to create genuine content rather than trying to put on a performance. Refining your craft consistently and approaching podcasting with authenticity, rather than performance, allows for more growth, less pressure, an a genuine product that will keep listeners coming back for more.

The three of us all agree there's a common trap new podcasters fall into: wanting to bypass mindset and jump straight to fame and fortune. By focusing on the right mindset first, podcasters can build lasting connections, develop their craft to stand out in a crowded market, and create opportunities to monetize their content because it has a substantial audience consuming it.

Key Takeaways:

• The right mindset is essential before leveraging podcasting for your brand.
• Authenticity is a vital element in podcasting that many are afraid to embrace.
• Podcasting should be approached as a craft, not just a performance.
• Continuous practice helps you improve and move beyond feeling like you're “playing a role.”
• Many new podcasters rush into seeking fame and riches, ignoring the mindset work and establishing "The Why" that precedes success.
• Understanding the power of authenticity will help you create genuine, meaningful connections with your audience.
• Success in podcasting is built over time with consistency and the right mental approach.
