124: What I Learned After Finally Outsourcing My Podcast Production
This might be hard to believe, but even though I run a business employing editors and writers that produce dozens of podcast episodes a week… for the longest time, I still did all the production for my own show by myself. Like seriously all of it, and yes, it did take hours.
About a year and a half ago, I finally outsourced my podcast production to my team, and I was amazed with the impact it had on my business. Looking back, I’m honestly a little embarrassed about how long it took.
So today, I’m sharing an episode from the archives, where I’ll share the fear that held me back from handing my show off to my team, and the big lessons I learned when I finally did. If you’re in a place where you know you need to outsource something, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it, this episode is for you!
