Ever wondered what it’s really like to start and grow a podcast as a passion project? This week on Go Get Great, I’m joined by Leith, the host of the Finding Me Podcast, who’s here to share her unique journey and lessons learned from launching a hobby podcast. If you've been dreaming about starting a podcast but aren't sure where to begin—or if it's even worth the effort—this episode is for you!
Leith started Finding Me Podcast out of a simple desire to share stories, insights, and inspirations, and she’s here to break down the realities of running a podcast without the pressure of monetizing or “making it big.” We dive into the heart of why she started her show, how much time she invests into creating each episode, and the unexpected ways her podcast has evolved over time. Leith opens up about the challenges, the highlights, and how she balances it all with his everyday life.
One of my favorite parts? Hearing Leith’s thoughts on whether she’ll ever turn his passion project into a profit-generating venture. Her take on podcasting as a fulfilling hobby rather than a business hustle is refreshing, and she offers practical advice for anyone considering taking that first step into the podcasting world. Plus, she gives invaluable tips for staying consistent and true to your message—even when life gets busy.
And if you’re worried about the technical side, we’ve got you covered! Leith shares some of the tools she uses, like Audacity, and we chat about the learning curves that come with mastering podcast production. This episode is packed with inspiration and insights that will make you excited to hit record and start your own journey.
