I started a podcast almost 2 years ago - You Can Too! - EP95

In this solo episode, Vic changes up the format and answers a question he gets all the time: why did you start a podcast? Recording from Aruba, Vic pulls back the curtain on the real story behind launching the show. He shares how a conversation with Adam Curry, known as the Podfather and one of the original pioneers of podcasting, planted the seed. From there, Vic walks through how the podcast came to life, the early gear choices, the learning curve, and why consistency and what he calls stickability matter more than perfection. Vic dives into the realities of podcasting that most people do not talk about. The costs, the lack of early monetization, the grind of putting out episodes that only friends and family watch, and the slow build that separates those who quit from those who keep going. He explains how the show evolved from early, lightly structured conversations into more intentional, better prepared episodes while still preserving authenticity and flow. This episode also highlights the unexpected rewards of podcasting. The relationships built, the caliber of guests that now reach out organically, and the opportunity to help others tell their story, especially people navigating career transitions or rebuilding after setbacks. Vic shares how one guest often leads to another and how curiosity, courage, and asking sometimes open doors far above your perceived weight class. Along the way, Vic offers practical advice for anyone considering starting a podcast. You do not need perfect gear. You do not need to be an expert. You do need consistency, preparation, and a willingness to show up week after week even when the numbers are small. This is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at 95 episodes of learning, growth, failure, resilience, and momentum. Whether you are thinking about starting a podcast, building a platform, or simply staying committed to something that matters to you, this episode is a reminder that progress compounds when you keep showing up. If you have ever wondered what podcasting is really like beyond the highlight reels, this episode is for you.
