Ep 341: How I Grew My Podcast To 2 Million Downloads Without Following The Rules

The Perfectionism Project

I hadn’t thought to do an episode on how I built my podcast until my friend Alexander James (who I interviewed in Episode 340) started asking for the details. So I thought that I’d record an episode on how I built my podcast to 2 million downloads without following industry best practices.

This episode is about podcasting AND it’s about how you can be successful even when you’re not doing things the same way as everyone else in your industry - no matter what you’re working on. If you feel called to do things your way, this one’s for you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The thoughts I have about my podcast that make it easy for me to be consistent
• Why I didn’t follow the advice given by experts on how to build a successful podcast
• How I figured out what I wanted my podcast to be like
• Why it’s easy for me not to compare my podcast with other people’s
• The practical things I do so that I felt safe publishing ‘imperfect’ episodes
