In this honest and energizing episode of Podcast Growth University, I’m sharing the hard truth about why 99% of podcasters never see a return on their efforts. If you’ve been chasing sponsors, waiting for listeners to magically convert, or feeling stuck on how to actually monetize your show, this is your wake-up call. I break down what’s holding most podcasters back, how to think beyond traditional income streams, and the real strategies that helped me turn my passion into a business. Whether you're brand new or deep into your podcast journey, this episode will shift your mindset and give you a path forward.
