After speaking with Diann Wingert (host of The Driven Woman Entrepreneur Podcast), it occurred to me that one of the hardest parts of getting started with a podcast is coming up with format and content ideas for those initial episodes. And I had a few thoughts about how I think you can overcome them easily, and more importantly, quickly so you can stop overthinking your show and get started today!

In this episode, I sit down with Diann to discuss her inspiring journey of launching and growing her podcast to 200 episodes. Diann shares her early struggles with overthinking and procrastination and how she finally overcame these hurdles with accountability (and it didn’t hurt that she had extensive blog content to kickstart her podcast.).

We talk about the challenges of podcasting, the importance of realistic expectations, and the need for experimentation and consistency.

Diann also emphasizes the power of finding and using your unique voice and shares insights on how her podcasting strategy has evolved over the years.

This conversation is a treasure trove of advice for anyone looking to start or sustain their own podcast.
