Ep. 54: 1 Year of Podcasting: What We Learned From 52 Episodes with Andrea Cannon & Liz Schwab

We made it! One full year and 53 published episodes of **From Corporate to Cash Flow** podcast — and we're sitting down (well, Andrea's literally on the floor of her new house) to celebrate, reflect, and share everything we've learned along the way. In this special anniversary episode, hosts Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab pull back the curtain on the real behind-the-scenes of running a podcast while holding down demanding W-2 jobs, traveling constantly, building real estate portfolios, and doing private lending, all at the same time. No guests. Just the two of us getting real about what worked, what didn't, and where we're headed next.   --- **In This Episode:** - How the podcast got started over a conversation in Sedona a year ago - The real logistics: StreamYard, Podbean, a Google intake form, a shared calendar, and a VA - Why we hit publish on imperfect episodes (and why you should too) - The stat that will make you proud we're still here: 90% of podcasts never make it past 20 episodes - How doing this podcast has changed our real estate perspectives — and our investing strategies - Andrea's biggest mindset shift: why she was building **net worth** when she should have been building **cashflow** first - Liz on being an **introvert** who actually loves podcasting (and why it makes sense) - **Imposter syndrome** — Andrea's honest take on almost not starting as a podcast guest herself - The short-form content challenge: why clips over 20 seconds just don't get engagement - What we want to do differently in Year Two **Biggest Takeaways from Year One:** - *"It sounded so much more intense than it actually was — getting started and working through the thing IS the thing."* — Andrea - *"It's me talking to me from a year or two ago — not 15 years ago."* — the relatability principle - The cashflow-first vs. net worth-first framework (from Benjamin Wong's laundromat episode) - Every guest has said some version of: your network and community are everything - Defining success on YOUR terms — not Pace Morby's, not anyone else's ---   **We want your feedback!** If you've been listening — what do you want more of? Leave a comment below. We read every single one. --- **About From Corporate to Cash Flow** Hosted by Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab — two pharmacists building time and financial freedom through real estate investing and private lending while working their day jobs.
