Why Your Podcast Isn’t Making Money—And What To Do Instead

Most podcasts fail—and it’s not because the host isn’t talented. In this episode of Art of the Brand, we break down why podcast monetization is a myth for most creators, why ROI thinking is killing your brand, and the real reason longform content still matters in 2025.
You’ll learn:

• The hidden data on who actually makes money from podcasts
• How to build a brand platform instead of chasing ad revenue
• Why your opinions matter more than trying to please everyone
• The top content mistake that’s costing women influence and growth
• Why controversy isn’t the enemy—it’s the strategy

This is the no-BS roadmap to using podcasting (or any longform content) to grow your influence, not just your downloads.
