I was 942 seconds into The Science of Scaling when I hit pause.

Not because I was bored. I realized I had to stop and re-evaluate everything I’d written down for 2026 gaols that started for me this August.

In this episode, I’m not giving you another podcasting tip.  I’m challenging you to audit your goals, your positioning, and how you’re showing up on the mic.

Here’s what I’m sharing:

• Why the real bottleneck to scaling might be the attainability of your goals
• How audiobook release strategies may impact you (and what you should (and shouldn’t take from it)
• Why simply uploading audio with your podcast cover art to YouTube is wasting the algorithm’s time and yours
• The 3 non-negotiable questions I now ask before creating any episode
• What “innovate, don’t imitate” really looks like when you’re using AI as a refiner, not a crutch

This is a conversation about strategic audacity. We're not talking about volume, vanity metrics, and cookie-cutter podcast playbooks.

If you’re using podcasting as a thought leadership engine (not just a content channel), this episode is for you.

Content isn’t king. Alignment is. Disruption is how we scale.
