The Hidden Trap Keeping Your Podcast Stuck
At some point, every creator hits that moment where they ask themselves, Do I double down on growth, start monetizing, or step back to realign? Today, we’re sharing the turning points that define a podcaster’s next move. We dig into audience building, brand promise, and how to know when it’s time to pivot. Ralph of Financially Confident Christian joins the conversation to share how defining your “why” and setting a strong foundation can turn passion projects into sustainable ventures. We also open up about seasons of change, creative resistance, and what happens when your show evolves faster than you do to give you a grounded look at staying true to your “why” as your podcast and purpose evolve.
