If you’re thinking about starting a podcast next year, this episode is about slowing down before you press record.I share the key questions you need to ask yourself before launching, why success in podcasting looks very different depending on your goals, and why a thoughtful, well-crafted show will always outperform something rushed or trend-chasing.This episode is for anyone who wants to create a podcast they’re proud of, not just something they “give a crack” and abandon six months later.In this episode, I cover:<ul><li>Why success in podcasting isn’t one-size-fits-all</li><li>How to define success metrics that actually work for your life and goals</li><li>Why high-quality, well-considered shows are more important than ever</li><li>Whether it’s “too late” to start a podcast (spoiler: it’s not)</li><li>The questions every new podcaster should answer before they begin</li></ul> EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Rachel CorbettEditing Assistance: Josh NewthLINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:<a href="https://www.podschool.com.au/rachel-corbett-newsletter/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join my newsletter here</a><a href="https://www.podschool.com.au/work-with-me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Find out how to work with me here</a><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeY1VaivjecegygUrdjyPEY5-ZWQXMhadjpY7VEZA3oiGVrXQ/viewform?usp=header" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apply for my Mastermind here</a><a href="https://www.podschool.com.au/podcast-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download my free podcasting guide</a><a href="https://podschool.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Check out my online podcasting course, PodSchool</a><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWepoep0HgIN1Fm5AZa5qyJ1NC5FDS0OVXNotbbdytSsHM1g/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to submit a question to the show</a>Email me: rachel@rachelcorbett.com.auFollow me: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_rachelcorbett/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RachCorbett" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.twitter.com/RachelCorbett" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/rachelcorbett1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/UCgUsLDEldBkYVF3mimdLsIw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@rachelcorbettpodschool" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> or check out my <a href="https://rachelcorbett.com.au/blog/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">blog</a> or the PodSchool <a href="https://podschool.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a>.This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.
