TIMELINE

[00:06:28] Know your audience and reason for creating content to attract the right audience; it's not about equipment or aesthetics. Focusing on the "why" keeps you motivated. Don't create content just for ads, but for a genuine purpose.

[00:08:42] Competition in podcasting isn't as intense as it seems. If you have a clear "why" and achieve it, your podcast is successful regardless of its quality or audience.

[00:23:11] Advice for podcasters on choosing hosting platforms and getting guests to use good microphones.
