#190 - Nothing Is Going To Help You Until You Fix THIS

Built in courage, proven in public. In today’s episode, I break down why fear of judgment quietly blocks podcast growth, audience acquisition, and monetization. After thousands of episodes and years of coaching creators, I have seen how hesitation and self-doubt slowly drain consistency and momentum. I share how to build repeatable systems, publish with confidence, and use real feedback to strengthen engagement, retention, and long-term results.

This episode focuses on practical habits, scalable workflows, and the mindset behind sustainable success. If you want your podcast to run like a real business with a clear strategy and steady growth, this is your challenge.
