Summary
There's a quiet mental trap that's slowly killing the ambitions of health and wellness podcasters, and chances are, you've fallen into it without even realising. In this solo episode, I dig into survivorship bias: why comparing your podcast to the biggest shows in the game is setting you up for frustration, and what to focus on instead. In this episode I cover: What survivorship bias is and why it's so dangerous for podcasters The full story behind Diary of a CEO, including everything that happened before the cameras and the guests Why the "messy middle" is invisible and why that makes it so easy to underestimate the path The one question Steven Bartlett asked himself that changed everything Why compounding, in audience, skill, and consistency, is slow before it's fast A sneak peek at next week's guest: the biggest I’ve ever had on Mics to Millions, who nearly quit before reaching half a million monthly downloads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the show?
