The “I Need a Big Audience” Trap

Part of the "I need a big audience" trap podcasters fall into is trying to please everybody.

Let me be clear—no matter what you say, you will make somebody mad. And some people will stop listening to you.

But there's good news ... When you take a stand and actually share an opinion on something, even though you'll lose a few people (and maybe even a lot of people), there will be those who stick around and love you even more, because they agree with you.

You don't need everybody to like (or listen to) your podcast for it to be successful. So stop playing it safe and work on cultivating and building relationships with people who love you, not just tolerate you.
