Are you unknowingly sabotaging your own podcast growth by staying too positive for too long?

In this episode, we break down why “just keep publishing” and trusting that growth will come is one of the biggest traps in podcasting. You’ll learn how toxic optimism blinds podcasters to reality, and how adopting strategic pessimism can finally help you make data-driven decisions that get results.

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

  1. How to spot toxic optimism before it kills your show’s momentum.
  2. The exact 3-step process to use strategic pessimism to protect and grow your podcast.
  3. How to turn fear of failure into focused, bold action that drives real audience growth.

Listen now to break free from the “hope and wait” cycle and finally take control of your podcast growth strategy.
