In this episode, I’m talking about something that honestly doesn’t get enough credit in podcasting or business in general: consistency. And not in the “you’re either born disciplined or you’re not” way, because that’s not real. Consistency is a skill. It’s something you build, practice, and strengthen over time.

I’m recording this in the middle of doing a daily podcast, so trust me when I say I’m in it right now. It’s hard. And I wanted to talk about this because so many podcasters quit—not because they’re bad at podcasting, but because they never learned how to stay consistent when it stops feeling exciting.

We talk about why consistency isn’t a personality trait, why motivation will fail you, and why systems matter more than willpower. If you’re trying to “record when you feel like it,” that’s the fastest way to fall off. Consistency requires structure. Calendars. Habits. Non-negotiable time blocked out to show up, even when you don’t feel inspired.

I also talk about what consistency really looks like in real life. Sometimes schedules shift. Sometimes the day changes. That doesn’t mean you quit. And missing a week doesn’t mean you failed. The only way you actually fail is if you decide it’s over and stop showing up completely.

This episode is a reminder that nobody is watching you as closely as you think they are, and nobody is keeping score the way you are in your own head. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is momentum.

By the end of this episode, I challenge you to take action. Block time on your calendar for the next 30 days. Not just for releasing episodes, but for actually showing up to record. One or two hours a week. That’s it. If you want this podcast to work, you have to treat it like something that matters.

Consistency is built by showing up when it’s inconvenient, when it’s uncomfortable, and when it would be easier to skip. That’s how the skill gets stronger. And if you really want this, you’ll build it.
