Success in podcasting isn’t about following every piece of advice you find online — it’s about finding what works for you. And in this episode of Let's Blow This Up, I'm taking a shot at some of the unsolicited advice that throws too many aspiring podcasters off their game before they ever have a chance to experience a major breakthrough.

Unfortunately, many aspiring podcasters give up because they try to follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach that doesn’t align with their time, goals, or creative energy. Instead, it's time to explore why successful podcasters build shows on their own terms and why you need to do the same.

If you want to succeed at podcasting and, ultimately, play the long game, you need to stay engaged and excited about the process. Tune in to discover how to make your podcast last by embracing your unique workflow and ignoring the noise from the so-called "gurus" and "experts."

Key Takeaways:

• There is no single “right” way to become a successful podcaster. Every approach has its pros and cons
• Following unsolicited advice that doesn’t fit your workflow or time constraints will lead to burnout and resentment for your show
• Making your podcast last is all about staying engaged and motivated while embracing the small victories that happen along the way
• What successful podcasters do to grow without burning out
• The pros and cons of different podcasting approaches—and how to choose yours
• How to succeed at podcasting by balancing strategy with personal creativity
