Podcaster 2 Podcaster

What does it actually take to turn a passion project into a dedicated community? In this episode of Podcaster to Podcaster, Kiara talks with Pastor Eric Knight, host of The Xclusive Knights Podcast.

Eric takes us through his journey—from navigating major personal setbacks (including living in his car) to building a consistent, live-stream podcast dedicated to "preaching the gospel of pro wrestling."

We dive into:

- Why going LIVE builds deeper audience connection than pre-recording

- How Eric creates custom audio and video packages right from his phone

- The secret to meaningful creator collaborations

- Practical advice for overcoming creator fatigue and staying consistent

Tune in for an energetic, faith-filled, and actionable conversation on podcasting, resilience, and community building!
