The Real Reason Your Podcast Isn't Growing (And it has Nothing to Do With Content Quality)

There's one objection to starting a podcast that Jon genuinely respects. Not the gear concerns, not the time concerns, but this one: I'm not sure I can stay consistent. Because consistency isn't just a growth strategy in podcasting. It's a trust signal. Showing up every week tells your audience something about your character that no single great episode ever could.

This episode explores what consistency actually does for a podcast. It builds listener habits so that your show becomes part of someone's routine rather than something they occasionally remember to check. It satisfies algorithms that reward shows with regular publishing cadences. And it creates a compounding content library where each episode makes all the ones before it more valuable.

Jon also addresses the perfectionism trap that keeps many podcasters from showing up consistently, making the case that motivation is a terrible system and habit is a far better one. The solution isn't to feel more inspired every week. It's to build a recording and publishing system that runs whether inspiration shows up or not.
