How to Launch a Podcast [in 2025]

In this video, we break down a proven eight-step framework for launching and growing a successful podcast, based on real-world experience and practical strategies. If you've been thinking about starting a podcast but feel overwhelmed by the technical details or uncertain about where to begin, this comprehensive guide will give you the exact roadmap you need. I was inspired by Steven Bartlett and his Diary of a CEO.

We'll walk you through everything from finding your core motivation (your 'why') to maintaining momentum long after launch, with specific recommendations for equipment, recording software, and distribution platforms. Learn why you don't need expensive gear to start, how to plan effectively using the 12-week year framework, and why persistence is the true key to podcasting success.

Key takeaways include:
• How to start with minimal equipment while still producing quality content
• Why your first 100 episodes matter less than you think (and what really drives long-term success)
• Practical strategies for planning, launching, and growing your podcast audience
