My Biggest Lessons (and Mistakes) from 5 Years and 300 Episodes of Podcasting

300 episodes. 5 years. And more lessons than I can count.

In this milestone episode, I’m reflecting on the unexpected highs, the tough lessons, and the surprising ways podcasting has shaped my life, business, and personal growth. From learning that consistency is about more than just showing up, to uncovering the one non-negotiable thing you need to make your podcast unignorable, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s worked—and what hasn’t.

Plus, I’m challenging you to set two bold goals with me to make this your best podcasting year yet. You ready? Hit play and let’s dive in.
