Launching a podcast — Lessons from my first ten episodes

In this episode, I reflect on the first ten episodes of Seasons in Business and share what I’ve learned about starting and growing a podcast. From early worries and technical challenges to small wins and steady growth, I talk about the lessons that have surprised me and why it’s worth starting even if you don’t have everything figured out.

Key takeaways from this episode

1. Fewer than 10% of podcasts make it to 10 episodes — and why that’s worth celebrating
2. How a simple setup and an idea are enough to get started
3. The challenges of consistency, scheduling, and invisible work
4. Why slow, steady growth can feel deeply rewarding
5. A reminder that you don’t need everything figured out to begin

If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast — or any creative project — this episode is an encouragement to begin where you are, with what you have.
