In this bonus Quick Tea With JT  variation episode of More Than Meets The "i", Jared shares an unfiltered take on why quantity matters more than perfection in podcasting—and why audio-only content isn’t dead.

From unpacking “PAC” (Platforms And Culture) to exploring why some podcasts with rough sound still rise to the top, this is a raw, honest encouragement to stop overthinking and just hit record. Jared also dives into the mindset behind marketing vs. sales, how to become the best known (not just the best), and why even a single listener can make it all worth it.

🎧 This episode is exclusive to audio platforms—no camera, no polish, just truth.
