In this episode, Sebastian Rusk emphasizes the importance of shifting focus away from the idea that no one is listening to your podcast. Instead, he encourages podcasters to concentrate on creating valuable content and building relationships with their audience. He also recognizes that creating podcasts can be exhausting, especially when done alone. Many podcasters may experience burnout if they try to produce episodes too frequently. Therefore, he advises prioritizing quality over quantity and finding a sustainable pace.


In addition, when it comes to monetizing a podcast, the host advises against focusing on making money from day one. While making money with a podcast is a desirable goal, it is essential to first focus on creating content and building an audience. Thus, Sebastian also highlights the importance of passion in podcasting. They state that if a podcaster lacks passion for their topic, the audience will not be engaged in listening to what they have to say. They emphasize that passion is crucial for audience engagement.
