For the first 8 episodes of this podcast, it's just been me, but I've always wanted to feature clients of ours who are doing big things in the podcasting space and who I know could share the valuable lessons they've learned with you. Today's special guest is someone who went from "I can't do this" to launching a top 10% global podcast in just a few months, and as you'll hear, is so passionate about her mission and the work she is doing!

Meet Jenn Morgan of the We're In One podcast. Jenn reveals how she went from being overwhelmed by all the podcasting advice online to launching her behind-the-scenes show about the fascinating professional hockey world, a niche she's lived in for nearly three decades.

In this episode, Jenn opens up about what surprised her most about podcasting, why integrity continues to be her biggest priority as a host, and the advice she'd give to anyone sitting on the fence about starting their own show.

We also talk about the noise in the podcasting space, why you don't need 8 episodes (or more) to launch, and how she got over the biggest hurdle: her own voice.

If you've been thinking about starting a podcast but feel overwhelmed or unsure, this conversation is for you and I'm honoured to bring Jenn on to share her story and podcasting journey with you.

This is episode 8. And honestly? 8 is the only number I've been focused on and had circled on my calendar since I started this podcast. Not downloads. Not rankings. Not reviews. Just getting to episode 8.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I specifically set episode 8 as my first milestone, the gym analogy that explains progressive overload in podcasting, and why focusing on vanity metrics is never a recipe for long-term success from my experience.

I also get real about what actually feels better than hitting a global ranking, plus I reveal my next milestone and why it's based on MY schedule, not someone else's.

No matter what your goal is as you start on your own podcasting journey, most importantly, make sure it's your goal, not someone else's. It's my intention that this episode can be a reminder not to fall into the comparison trap!

Small wins build the habit. Celebrate when you hit them, then set the next one.

Listen Notes - Global Ranking

Have you heard the saying that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now? I've been hearing "there are too many podcasts" since we started working with podcasters back in 2015, when there were only a fraction of the shows that exist now. Today, I'm flipping the narrative that the podcast market is oversaturated - and backing it up with the numbers.

I break down what the real competition actually looks like (don't worry, it's not millions of podcasts like you may think!), share an analogy that makes this all crystal clear, and I reveal the massive advantages podcasters have today that simply didn't exist a decade ago.

Plus, I ran a live test with Google Gemini to see what it says about this show (because we can't forget the growing importance of our robot search friends) 🤖

This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting for the perfect time and just start, because it's not too late - it's wide open for those who are ready to step up, and show up regularly.
