How Systems Can Boost—Not Break—Your Creativity

What if the key to podcasting success isn't working harder, but working with more structure? More systems, more process. Many independent podcasters burn out trying to juggle content creation, editing, promotion, and everything in between. But there's a better way.

On this episode, Colin is joined by Layla Pomper, CEO of ProcessDriven. The pair explore how structured workflows can actually enhance, rather than hinder, your creative freedom. Layla reveals how independent podcasters can use documented processes and templates to reduce decision fatigue, prevent burnout, and scale their shows effectively.

You will also:

• Discover practical strategies for systematising content planning, editing, and promotion while maintaining creative freedom.
• Learn how creating recurring task lists and frameworks not only ensures consistency and quality but also provides the flexibility to take breaks without disrupting production.

This episode offers actionable insights for podcasters looking to delegate tasks, minimise repetitive work, and focus on what matters most - creating original content and growing their audience.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelm or ready to scale, Layla's expertise in making business processes enjoyable will help you build a more organised, efficient podcasting workflow.
