We’re almost at the finish line! Before we tackle Step 8 next week, this episode is a crucial check-in on the most important factor in podcast success: endurance. You have the process down, but do you have the passion to continue?

We sit down again with Kathleen D. DePrizio, the Head of the Marine Division for the world's eighth largest global container carrier and the visionary behind two successful shows, ShoreSide Operational and SSO Coaching76.

Kathleen’s career is a masterclass in long-term commitment. She shares the executive-level mindset required to launch, grow, and sustain a content platform, even when managing global logistics. If you’ve ever felt like quitting your show, this is the episode that will reignite your drive.

This episode also serves as a reminder that there will never be a perfect podcast episode. Tune in to learn what happened during their first recording.

In this inspiring episode, we discuss the mindset and motivation required for long-term growth:

• The Struggle is Real: Kathleen shares the biggest struggles she has personally encountered in the podcasting world and what drives her passion to continue despite her demanding corporate role.
• The Power of the Pause: We tackle the tough truth: taking breaks are okay, as long as you keep going. Learn how to gracefully step away and come back without losing momentum.
• The Reward of Visibility: Kathleen explains the profound professional and personal reward of getting your voice out there and how building transparency through her shows has directly benefited her global business.
• The Two-Show Engine: We dive deeper into why she launched two distinct shows and the lessons in efficiency and audience segmentation that came from running both.
• Finding Your Success Metric: Why focusing on "everyone else's process is wrong" and how finding what truly works for your unique business and voice is the key to building an audience that lasts.

Tune in to get the final burst of motivation you need before we close out our 8-step process next week!
