In this episode, my guest is Robert Plank, founder of DFYpodcast.com and host of the Marketer of the Day podcast. Robert’s been in the podcasting game for years, and today, we dive into what it really takes to build a podcast that works—for your business, your time, and your sanity.

We talk about how most people approach podcasting the wrong way and why trying to do everything yourself often leads to burnout or quitting. Robert shares the behind-the-scenes of his own journey, what made him shift from coding to content, and how he now helps others show up consistently without getting buried in the technical mess.

Here’s what you’ll learn from this episode:

• Why the “just hit record and go viral” myth is holding people back
• The simple way to stay consistent (even if you’re not a tech person)
• What gear you actually need to start, and what’s just noise
• How to repurpose podcast content the smart way
• The three things every new podcaster should focus on from the start
• How podcasting opens doors to meaningful relationships and long-term opportunities

Whether you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, or you already have one but feel stuck, this conversation will give you clarity and motivation to keep going—or finally begin—with the right mindset and structure.

Robert doesn’t hold back. He gets into the real challenges and offers practical ideas you can actually use. If you’ve ever wondered how people make podcasting work for their business without becoming full-time editors or marketers, this is the episode for you.
