529: BYN Breakdown | You Don't Have to be the Expert


Listen Later

There can be a lot of fear and limiting beliefs surrounding the topic of starting a podcast. On this BYN Breakdown, we want to focus on the level of expertise needed to get into the game. What do you need to know? How much do you need to know? I think you’ll be surprised that you don’t have to be the expert, and in fact, this is just one of five archetypes that can monetize their podcast.


So let’s jump into the conversation so we can shed some light on this myth and learn other ways to give value.
