" A podcast is a beautiful way to inspire, educate, entertain an audience, and bring value to their life."

This week on Delay The Decay, we welcome Seth Silvers, CEO of StoryOn, a podcast agency that helps businesses use podcasts to build trust and long-term impact. Seth shares his story of learning the power of a unified story and developed practical marketing skills before shifting from ministry to business and founding StoryOn.

He offers encouragement for young adults to reduce pressure about having life figured out, emphasizing honoring God and taking the next step. He also explains when not to start a podcast (short-term mindset, fast money goals, self-focused motives), why podcasts function best as trust-builders, and the emerging role of AI-generated podcasts.
