What Podcast

Why Consistency Matters More Than Going Viral

Seven years of podcasting lessons don’t come from viral moments or overnight success; instead, they come from consistency. Over time, podcasting becomes less about chasing numbers and more about showing up, refining your voice, and trusting the process, even when growth feels slow. As a result, these 7 years of podcasting lessons reinforced that meaningful work often compounds quietly before it becomes visible.

Lessons on Commitment and Community

Looking back, however, the most valuable 7 years of podcasting lessons were about commitment and community. In particular, podcasting taught Elizabeth how to keep creating when motivation fades, how to lead with authenticity, and how to stay aligned with a mission even when results lag behind effort.

What These Podcasting Lessons Mean Beyond the Mic

Ultimately, these lessons apply not only to podcasting but also to any long-term creative or business journey that requires patience, belief, and resilience.
