Deep dives

Creative Lesson #1: Daily creative output makes the rest seem easy

One of the main creative lessons learned from 300 episodes of podcasting is that doing a daily creative output bootcamp for three months makes everything else feel easier. To challenge herself during the pandemic, the host shifted to daily podcast production. Although she ultimately didn't maintain the daily pace, she found it energizing and realized that it pushed her limits and improved her skills. When she returned to weekly production, it felt effortless in comparison. This experience provided the confidence to launch a second podcast and increase the output to 12 episodes per month.
