In this milestone episode, I'm looking back at the biggest lessons, mistakes, frustrations, and surprises from my first ten episodes as a podcaster. From obsessing over hosting platforms and recording software to learning why community matters more than download numbers, this episode is an honest reflection on what it's really like to build a podcast from scratch.

I talk about why there is no perfect podcast host, why every recording platform will eventually let you down, how research can become procrastination, and why publishing an imperfect episode will teach you more than spending another week planning.

I also share how my views on AI have evolved, how I use it as a tool rather than a replacement, and why I believe your voice and experiences are still the most valuable parts of any podcast.
