Episode 100:Our Biggest Mistakes as Creators (and What We Learned)

In this episode of The Creator Passport Podcast, we’re celebrating EPISODE 100 by getting brutally honest about the 10 biggest mistakes we’ve made as full-time content creators over the last five years so you don’t have to repeat them.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I missing something?” or felt like everyone else got the rulebook to content creation except you, this episode is the rulebook we wish we had on day one. You’ll walk away knowing what to avoid, what to double down on, and how to make smarter moves in your creator business no matter your niche.

We’re covering:

• The contract red flags we missed early on (and how much it actually cost us)

• How exclusivity, whitelisting, and in-perpetuity rights can quietly drain tens of thousands from your income

• The management contract clause that blindsided us (and what to look for before you ever sign with an agency)

• Why engaging with trolls wrecked our mental health and the boundaries we set that changed everything

• How to spot one-sided relationships and “takers” in the creator space (and protect your energy + reputation)

• Why we regret not quitting our 9–5s sooner and the actual metrics to watch when you’re deciding to go full-time

• The delegation mistakes we made as a creator couple and how we now divide roles to avoid stepping on each other’s toes

• How delaying outsourcing capped our growth and the mindset shift that finally got us to hire help

• The scam brand deal we almost fell for (and our checklist to help you avoid the same trap)

• Why chasing clout, repost pages, and “exposure” deals almost never pays off and what to focus on instead

We’re also sharing a behind-the-scenes look at hitting our goal of 200+ five-star reviews by episode 100, what that milestone means to us, and a special giveaway to say thank you. 🎉

To celebrate 100 episodes, we’re giving away a brand new DJI Osmo to one listener.
