Why AI is Killing Your Podcast (And How to Stop Burnout)

Are you feeling burnt out by the constant pressure to turn your podcast into a content machine? In this video, we explore why relying too much on AI and trying to be everywhere at once might actually be killing your business revenue and personal joy. It is time to stop the hamster wheel and start building real human connections again. After six years in the industry, I have seen a massive shift in how we create. While AI tools offer amazing shortcuts for editing and transcriptions, they often trap us in a cycle of quantity over quality. We discuss the transition from content creator to connection builder and why that distinction is key to long-term success. Your business is built people-first, not algorithm first. I am sharing my raw personal journey of how my revenue shifted when I focused too much on solo content and AI automation versus deep, interview-based relationships. You will learn why platforms like Substack are the future for podcasters who want to build trust in what I call a trust recession. We need to focus on what brings us joy and what actually leads to conversations, not just empty views.
