On this episode of "Into the Unknown" Launching a podcast can feel daunting—what if no one listens, the tech is confusing, or the first episode flops? In this candid conversation, Tamika Taylor, host of the globally ranked Say More Words, and Jeremy “Sumo” Swick, founder of SwickMedia, and host of this podcast, break down what it really takes to start and sustain a podcast. From battling early doubts to finding her unique voice, Tamika shares how podcasting opened doors to credibility, connections, and global recognition in a competitive self-help market.

Together, Tamika and Jeremy reveal the behind-the-scenes structure that makes podcasting accessible to anyone—from gear and setup to branding and confidence-building. They also discuss the business value of podcasting, from lead generation to building authentic relationships, and why aligning your voice with your brand matters more than chasing sponsorships. Whether you’re dreaming about your first episode or looking to grow your show, this episode proves that your story deserves to be heard—and podcasting is one of the most powerful ways to share it.
