488. What Your Podcast Reveals About You
What if your podcast is revealing more about you than you realize? Today’s conversation explores how a simple exercise can uncover the deeper reasons behind why we podcast. From finishing the sentence “I started my podcast because…” to sharing the episodes we’re most proud of, this episode highlights the purpose, growth, and personal stories behind each creator’s journey. You’ll hear how podcasts evolve over time, how meaningful moments shape a show, and how unexpected opportunities and relationships can come from it. We wrap up the week by celebrating wins and recognizing how far each creator has come.
