It's pretty easy to make a podcast. And getting easier by the minute. Not necessarily better, but it’s a lot easier to make a podcast now than it was just a few years ago. 

With that easiness comes a false sense of expertise. 

If you’re still podcasting today the way you did when you stumbled into podcasting 10 years ago… there are probably better ways to podcast that you haven’t yet incorporated. 

So before you offer your services or advice, I want you to take what you’re doing today a step further. Specifically, I want you to work harder before you offer your advice or services to someone else.

In order for you to be a coach, consultant, or generally helpful person who also wants to make podcasting better, you first need to understand that there's more to podcasting than just the way that you do it. Even better, you need to understand how to make all sorts of podcasts.

So take your easy-interview show and make it more journalistic. Spend time gathering “field recordings” and incorporate them into your episodes. Do radically different things with your content that may take you 15x the amount of time you spend today.

Yes, that does sound like hard work, doesn’t it? But doing so will allow you to learn much more about making a podcast. I really believe that trying your hand at harder things is one of the best ways to grow. And it’s the only way to be worthy of having your own training course or developing a voice in the support forums that is worthy of listening to. Food for thought.

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.
