218: đ 3 Creative Lessons Learned from 7+ Years of Podcasting (Pivot Crossover)
Since launching this show in September 2015, the podcasting landscape has grown and changed tremendously. What was once a niche sandbox of independent producers pursuing passion projects has blossomed into an abundant field where it seems as though every major media property, celebrity, side hustler, and business owner decided to throw their hat (mic?) into the audio arena.
Since Iâm not nearly ambitious or prolific enough to share three hundred lessons learned in honor of todayâs major milestone, or even thirty, I thought Iâd boil it down to my top three creative lessons learned in seven years of creating content in a constantly changing space.
This crossover episode originally aired on the Pivot podcast on November 13, 2022.
Before going any further, thank you from the bottom of my heartâthis show wouldnât be nearly what it is without you here listening and sharing with friends. Thank you for listening these last seven years, and Iâm looking forward to seeing what the years ahead bring us!
đ3 Key Takeaways:
Challenging myself to do a daily creative bootcamp for three months has made the production (and idea generation) process easier ever since.
Delegating is a game-changer, such as investing in a full-service production teamâeven before I was 100% ready. It truly helped me shift from sporadic, overwhelmed output to energized, consistent creativity.
Success is anything over a small handful of listeners: staying focused on the intrinsic rewards, the âautotelicâ joy of podcasting, no matter the metrics, has kept the creative fires burning brighter.
Bonus: Most of all, have fun! When things get too hard, pause: thereâs a mantra I repeat to myself often, âLet it be easy, let it be fun.â Or as my friend Leanne asks, âHow can I fall in love with this again?â
