If you're wondering how to stop comparing your podcast to other podcasters, one thing you have to understand is that everybody is on a different journey. Someone else's equipment, studio, confidence, or experience doesn't mean your podcast isn't working.

I've caught myself doing this.

I would get around podcasters who had been doing this longer than me and start looking at their equipment, their studios, and how good they sounded.

Eventually, I realized I wasn't necessarily doubting my podcast.

I was comparing my podcast.

In this episode, I talk about what changed when I stopped looking at other podcasters as competition and started looking at them as people I could learn from.

After producing 893 podcast episodes, I've had a lot of practice. I've made mistakes. I've changed equipment. I've asked questions. I've learned from other people. I've had recordings where things went wrong and I had to figure out what happened.

That's part of the journey.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why you shouldn't compare your podcast to someone else's

• Why podcasting takes time to develop

• Why more reps can help you improve

• Why you don't need expensive equipment before you start

If you're early in your podcast journey, don't look at somebody who has been podcasting for years and assume you're supposed to be where they are.

Look at where you are today.

Learn.

Apply it.

Get your reps.

Then keep going.
