Doubting your podcast? This episode shows why growth begins with belief and small risks. We break down three moves: learn what you bring, perfect your value with daily reps, and share it consistently so you stop disqualifying yourself and start building momentum.

I’m Terryl Humphrey, and I’m documenting my 90-day push to grow this podcast and business from the ground up.

You’ll learn:

-How to reframe self-doubt and identify the value you already have

-A simple practice routine to build on-camera confidence

-Why sharing early (and often) attracts the right audience

-The difference between hobby energy and business discipline

If you want to launch your podcast, share your story, and attract more customers, this is your playbook.

Every podcaster wants growth, but few are willing to take the risks that lead to it. In this episode, I share how taking consistent risks transformed my podcast, built my confidence, and helped me turn my platform into a business.

You’ll learn:

-Why “No Risk, No Growth” is the mindset every podcaster needs

-How small risks build long-term consistency and credibility

-The difference between a hobby show and a growing podcast brand

-How to plan, pivot, and learn from every setback

-Ways to turn your podcast into a platform that creates real opportunity

🎙️ Whether you’re just starting or rebuilding, this episode will remind you that growth only happens when you’re bold enough to risk failure.

Most podcasters blend in. In this episode of Failure Is Knowledge, I show you how to create your competitive advantage so your show stands out, attracts the right audience, and grows like a business.

We’ll break down a simple SWOT for podcasters (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and turn it into action:

-Strengths: Own what makes you different so your voice becomes the differentiator.

-Weaknesses: Identify gaps (team, resources, clarity) and turn them into growth plans.

-Opportunities: Use feedback loops, offers, and audience language to position value.

-Threats: Competing shows + impatience—why consistency and focus win.

You’ll also learn how to niche your audience language, why “serve everyone = serve no one,” and how to think like a strategist (not just a creator) so your podcast becomes a business.

If you’re a podcaster or leader struggling to stand out, this is your roadmap to build authority, communicate value, and create a durable podcast advantage.

If you’re a leader battling comparison, this episode is your reset. I break down why comparison stalls your growth and how podcasting helps you lead with clarity, build company culture, and communicate your mission so people follow.

After speaking at the EMpower Conference, I saw firsthand that podcasting isn’t just talk; it’s a strategy for leadership storytelling, employee alignment, and trust. In this video, we dig into sharing your experiences, setting the tone as a leader, and using a podcast to turn values into everyday behaviors.

If you want your team to know, like, and trust your direction, start where influence begins: your voice.

What you’ll learn:

• Why leaders must stop comparing and start documenting

• How podcasting builds culture and alignment across teams

• Turning stories into strategy: mission, values, and execution

• Practical examples: episodes, trailers, clips, and quotes that drive engagement

• Leading by example and inviting your team into the journey

Welcome to Day 21 of my 90-day challenge to grow a podcast business.

Today I share a major realization: podcasting isn’t just conversations. It’s a stage. A platform. A form of promotion that gives business owners visibility, credibility, and a chance to connect with new customers.

For years, I thought I was “just” podcasting for fun. But now I understand: I’ve been building a platform all along. And a platform has value when you learn how to use it to spotlight others, bring awareness, and create opportunities.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

-Why a podcast is more than just a microphone and a conversation

-How promotion and awareness drive growth

-What it means to sell the stage you’ve built, not just content

-Why every business owner needs to know the business they’re really in

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your podcast into something bigger, this one’s for you.
