Starting a Podcast Is Easy. MAKING a Podcast Is Hard with Eric Johnson (#54)

The barriers to entry preventing you from starting a podcast are pretty minimal. All the equipment you need to get your production in motion can be purchased from Amazon and land on your doorstep within a day or two.And if you want to go more low-tech, you technically could create voice notes on your smartphone and upload them as podcast episodes (chef does not recommend).But know this: STARTING a podcast is just the first step. MAKING a podcast, on the other hand, takes a major commitment too many aspiring podcasters don't bring to the table. Unfortunately, they're fooled into believing podcast results are instantaneous and achieving top billing with their show happens with little to no effort.Don't get consumed by someone else's highlight reel and focus on making YOUR show the very best it can be.In Season 3 of Let's Blow This Up, the subject of "podcaster's mindset" has come up in many of our conversations.
