What if the fastest way to grow your podcast is the one habit you’ve been avoiding? In this episode, I share the small practice that has helped me grow through more than a thousand episodes and years of coaching. It is the habit that boosts retention, builds confidence, and supports real personal development. I walk you through why this matters for podcast improvement, how it sharpens your message, and how it helps you make smarter choices behind the mic.

If you want a show that grows with purpose and a process that makes you better every week, this is your roadmap. Let consistency become your advantage.

In today’s episode of Podcast Growth University, I break down one of the biggest traps podcasters fall into without even realizing it by choosing pricing that feels good on paper but destroys real-world momentum. AI tools like ChatGPT often push creators toward high-ticket numbers that look impressive, yet almost no one will actually pay. I’ll show you why sustainable pricing wins, how I learned this the hard way, and the simple shifts that help you get more clients, grow faster, and build real confidence in your business.

If you’re ready for clarity, honesty, and a strategy you can actually use, this one’s for you. Hit play and step into the version of yourself your audience has been waiting to hire.

Standing out in podcasting isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what only you can do. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a hard truth most podcasters never hear, and it can change the way you create, communicate, and grow. I’ll share the mindset shift that has helped thousands of hosts become clearer, more confident, and more magnetic behind the mic. No trends. No tricks. No shortcuts. Just the quiet factor that separates shows people forget from shows people follow.

If you’ve ever wondered why your effort isn’t matching your results, this conversation will land exactly where you need it.
