Do you ever feel like your podcast is getting a bit stale or sometimes you just struggle to get the motivation to record that next episode? Once you've committed to a podcast it can feel like this never-ending thing and when you're creating episodes week in, week out, it can feel like it's starting to get a bit repetitive. And finding the right guests or topics to talk about can be a challenge. But what if podcasting didn't have to be like that? I'm joined by Cheryl Drury in this episode. Cheryl started her podcasting journey around a year ago to share her fascinating story of re-fitting a sail boat, but once that story had been told she had to decide where to take things next. She now hosts Crack The Book, where she brings us along on a new journey, and her genuine love for podcasting, combined with her vision for sharing these stories as a complete piece, offers a refreshing outlook on podcasting that every podcaster can get value from - whether your podcast is a business asset or a hobby. We cover in this episode: The secret sauce that every podcast needs for it to be sustainable. How to pivot your podcast without losing all your listeners. What podcasting can do for you personally. How to love podcasting again. How to make a podcast work for your business while still being an enjoyable experience. And much more… This is an inspiring and motivating conversation that might just make you rethink a few things when it comes to podcasting.
