For the podcast's launch week, he's doing 5 mini episodes on what it takes to build and launch a podcast. Today's episode: start now and start small.

"Before you run out and buy a bunch of gear, record something now! You don't need a fancy mic to start practicing."

How to record your first podcast

1. Find the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2. Choose a topic you'd like to talk about (see yesterday's episode)
3. Write out an outline for a short 5-10 minute episode
4. Open up the Voice Memos app and record your episode!
5. Repeat over and over again: practice recording that same episode dozens of times
6. Send Justin your mini-episode: [email protected]
