In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey breaks down a real challenge he faced while building his business and growing his audience.

After producing over 893 podcast episodes across the last half a decade, he realized his belief about time was wrong. The real issue was not that success was taking too long. The real issue was learning what he was doing, applying the information, and gaining clarity around the problem he solves. That process cost time, momentum, and understanding, but it also helped him better define his business.

In this episode, he explains:

-Why does it take time to understand what you are doing

-Why momentum has to be built before it grows

-How applying information changes your business

-Why guidance, mentorship, and perspective matter

-How he now helps real estate developers build their brand through podcasting

If you are building a business, refining your marketing strategy, growing your brand, or trying to understand your business model more clearly, this episode shares real experience from someone actively doing the work.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and trying to understand what I was actually building.

After producing over 893 podcast episodes, I realized my belief about podcasting was wrong. I thought it was mainly about podcast production, but I started to understand that I am in the relationship-building and brand-building business.

That failure cost me momentum, clarity, consistency, and a deeper understanding of why content matters.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure of not fully understanding the business I was in

-What that confusion cost me in growth and momentum

-The shift in thinking around content, branding, and consistency

-What I now understand about building a business through podcasting

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and trying to understand what problem I actually solve.

After producing over eight hundred and ninety three podcast episodes, I realized my belief about business was wrong. I thought I needed to solve many problems at once, but that failure cost me clarity, focus, and time. It also led to changing my business model over and over again instead of getting clear on one specific problem.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure: trying to solve too many problems

-What it costs: confusion, lack of focus, and unclear positioning

-The shift in thinking: focus on one problem for one customer

-What I would do differently: ask more questions, get feedback faster, and stay patient while learning the language

I also talk about how cutting hair in the Marine Corps helped me understand business, how feedback helped me improve my message, and how I now explain the work more clearly: helping real estate developers build their brand through podcasting.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and growing my audience.

After producing over 893 podcast episodes and podcasting for the last half a decade, I realized my belief about success was wrong. I used to think people had a secret ingredient, and I also thought podcasting itself would pay me.

That failure cost me clarity around monetization, strategy, and how to turn podcasting into a real business.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure

-What it cost

-The shift in thinking

-What I would do differently

I talk about why there are no secrets, why secret equals hard work, how systems become the secret, and why building a foundation matters if you want to grow a podcast production business.

I also break down maintaining, progression, learning through obstacles, and not being so hard on yourself while building.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and growing my audience: not asking enough questions, not applying what I learned, and staying confused in the gap between point A and point B.

After producing over eight hundred and ninety three podcast episodes, I realized my belief about “common sense” was wrong. That failure cost me clarity because I was missing the in between, hesitating to ask, and not consistently testing what I was learning.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure (not being curious enough to question everything)

-What it cost (confusion, missed understanding, slower growth)

-The shift in thinking (learn, apply, revisit—and collect feedback)

-What I would do differently (ask the source, test it, revisit the lesson)

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I share 27 lessons I’ve learned from life while building my business and growing my audience. One of the biggest challenges I faced was realizing that when I got feedback, I would change everything instead of staying consistent and applying what I had already learned.

After producing over eight hundred and ninety-three podcast episodes, I realized my belief about what “working” looks like was wrong. That failure cost me momentum because I was always starting over instead of making small adjustments and staying consistent.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure (changing everything and not applying the information)

-What it cost (starting over, inconsistency, not being prepared)

-The shift in thinking (make small adjustments, plan for best and worst case scenario, ask for feedback)

-What I would do differently (focus, be consistent, apply the information)
