The More Profitable Podcast with Stacey Harris

You’re More Ready to Launch Your Podcast Than You Think

Stacey Harris Episode 672

Look, I get it. Starting a podcast feels like a big commitment. So instead, you’re stuck in the “I just need to be more ready” loop—which is really just a very professional way of procrastinating.

The truth? You don’t need a bigger audience. You don’t need to study the art of podcasting like it’s an AP class. And you definitely don’t need to wait until you magically feel ready.

If you have a solid offer, see any success on social media, and keep repeating yourself in sales conversations—you’re already ready. So let’s talk about why waiting is just costing you time (and let’s be real, sales).

0:00 – Why waiting until you “know more” is keeping you stuck
 4:26 – The first sign you’re ready: You have an offer that sells
 9:03 – How a podcast makes selling easier (without making you work harder)
 11:00 – The second sign: You’re already seeing engagement on social media
 14:45 – Why social media alone is the worst long-term strategy
16:38 – The third sign: You keep answering the same questions in sales calls
19:52 – How to use a podcast to pre-educate leads (and stop repeating yourself)
22:47 – The Profitable Podcast Launch Accelerator is open for beta enrollment
