Bad Environments Lead to Bad Decisions

Bad environments lead to bad decisions, and boy, do we have stories to share! Ever looked back at some of your life choices and thought, “What on Earth was I thinking?” Yeah, me too!

We run into the chaos of those moments when our brains were more frazzled than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. We chat about how a little bit of panic can turn us into decision-making nincompoops, like forgetting to get a website for our podcast.

Spoiler alert: Having a website is a big deal if you want anyone to find your show. So, let’s unpack this hot mess together and figure out how to avoid those cringe-worthy blunders!

Looking at our past decisions is like opening a box of stale donuts; it’s messy, and you might regret it. We’re all guilty of making choices when we’re not in the right headspace.

I share classic examples, like the time someone thought not having a website was a smart move. It’s not. You want people to find your podcast? They need a place to land, not just a vague hope that they might stumble across it while scrolling through cat memes.

Now, let's not throw shade. We all start from different places, but this was a classic example of being "rattled" lead to bad decisions.

Takeaways:
  • Bad decisions often come from panic or being overwhelmed, so slow down and think.
  • Having a website is crucial for podcasters to be found and grow their audience.
  • People tend to overlook basic steps when launching, like having a website ready.
  • Without a website, you’re basically invisible to potential listeners trying to find you.
  • Word of mouth is key for podcast growth, but you need a solid strategy to make it work.
  • Don’t let a frazzled mindset lead to bad decisions—stay organized and plan ahead.
