Beating the Odds: Tips for Surviving Beyond Episode 3

Have you ever considered why so many podcasts disappear after just three episodes? Today's topic was inspired by a question from our Empowered Podcasting Facebook group. We explore the surprising statistic that 90% of podcasts don't make it past their third episode. We discuss the benefits of planning ahead, creating episodes in batches, and setting achievable goals for growth. Additionally, we discuss discovering your distinctive voice and reconnecting with the inspiration that led you to start podcasting.
