What You'll Learn What Adobe Creative Cloud actually is, and what it costs at every tier The exact Adobe program used for every part of the production workflow A list of the most useful Adobe mobile apps at the time Why routine, not motivation, is what actually keeps a publishing schedule consistent Ask Mike Anything: Staying Consistent with a Busy Lifestyle Question: How do you keep a consistent publishing schedule with a busy lifestyle? Answer: The podcast has to become a priority and part of the routine — no exceptions. Bottom line: it needs to sit on the calendar like any other commitment. If the current format isn't working or the podcast starts controlling you, adapt and change it. This show runs as a one-man-band format because it fits — interviews would likely drive more downloads, but doing what genuinely fits and sticking to a schedule is what actually keeps episodes on time.
