How I Grew My First Podcast
“Big things are built from small things. A step streak of five years and 21 million steps, it’s all built from individual steps.”
When it comes to podcasting, preparation is more than just planning content or hitting record. It’s about creating intentional moments that captivate listeners and leave them wanting more. If you’re feeling frustrated by a lack of podcast listeners despite your dedication, you’re not alone. Many podcasters struggle to attract and retain a loyal audience, but the key to turning things around lies in thoughtful preparation and consistency.
It has not been an easy journey growing The Park Leader Show to over 4 million downloads. Lauren Davis, host of the Real Personal Branding podcast, helps highlight the importance of understanding your niche and consistently delivering value to your audience. Success doesn’t come from flashy gimmicks. It comes from showing up authentically and building trust over time.
The approach Lauren and I take reinforces that preparation isn’t just about content creation. A lot of it has to do with building genuine connections and understanding what your audience craves. When you prepare with your audience in mind, you create moments that resonate deeply and keep listeners coming back.
If you’re ready to take your podcast to the next level, start by focusing on preparation that goes beyond the basics. Build a strategy that highlights your unique voice, engages your community, and delivers consistent value. The WOW moments will follow and so will a loyal audience.
