]]> There are a lot of podcasts out there right now – in fact, there are currently  3 million active podcasts worldwide. 

While the significant number of listeners makes podcasts look very attractive, Worse, there are many dead podcasts, too – as podcasters abandoned them in between. Out of all the global podcasts, less than 50% are active, meaning only half of the shows had a new episode published this year.

In today’s throwback episode, I unpack why you SHOULDN’T start a podcast! While I love podcasting, and there are so many reasons to have one, there are some even better reasons why it might not be for you!

So, let’s tackle the inexperience, fatigue, and intimidation that hold you back from growing your influence and impact.
