278 || 3 Things We Wished We Knew before Starting Our Podcasts || Merritt Onsa & Natalie Blenkush

How could a podcast help build your dream?

A podcast can help you build an audience (for your book launch, ministry, online business, you name it!) It also gives you a place to go DEEP with your audience and to talk about things that truly inspire you and will, ultimately, attract people to you and your work.

If you’ve ever felt a tug to launch your own podcast, this episode is just for you. My dear friend, fellow podcaster and brand strategist Natalie Blenkush and I have teamed up to share what we learned from launching our own podcasts (and how we can help you get over the hurdles faster and easier than we did when we first launched).

IF YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO LEARN WHAT IT TAKES TO HOST A PODCAST, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!


Three things we wished we knew before we started podcasting:

#1 - If you're bootstrapping your podcast, it's going to take way longer than you think.

#2 - Your podcast is a test run for your message as it evolves and as YOU grow in sharing your message and using your voice.

#3 - The internal battle is REAL, but surrounding yourself with supportive community is the best way to take messy, scary steps forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The techy obstacles are not *really* what’s standing in the way of you starting a podcast,

  • How podcasting becomes an opportunity to show up and refine your message,

  • Your authenticity attracts the right audience,

  • You might be hiding rather than sharing your message—and what to do instead,

  • Community can provide the support you need to launch your show.

You have a message to share, and your people need to hear it from YOU!
It's time to launch your podcast, dreamer. 

And Natalie and I are here to help with our self-paced, power-packed course, Your Purposeful Podcast!
