It’s August 1st and Abbey’s laying in bed at 10pm having a mini crisis about the calendar (June = Friday, July = Saturday, August = Sunday of summer — you get it). So she recorded this raw, unedited, audio-only episode with one goal: give you a real plan to launch a podcast by Labor Day weekend.

Here’s the 6-step framework:

1. Get your mindset right — Labor Day is your starting line, not a deadline to dread.

2. Focus on a micro podcast — 10 minutes or less, audio-only. Feasible beats ambitious.

3. Answer your FAQs — mine your discovery calls and client conversations for recurring questions. Each one is an episode (and great SEO).

4. Pick 3 content buckets — your niche topics that keep the show cohesive long-term.

5. Batch record — carve out a day (or even an hour) to record a full month of episodes at once.
