Why Most Podcasts Fail (What To Do Instead) w/Remi Roy

But the one that... sort of encompasses all of this almost like if you have this then from the beginning even before you start it's easier to start to figure out everything else is having a community that you can tap into

yeah yeah

If you were to start, if somebody, one of your friends were to start a podcast now and she knows you have a podcast and she comes to you and says, hey, Carrie, I want to do this.

You have so much knowledge.

You have so much experience.

You can give it to her straight, you know, and let her know.

Of course, you're not going to discourage her.

But you're

going to keep it real.

So that she decides like, okay, yeah, I get it.

I get it.

I still want to do this.

I just have to come at it with a different mindset, right? And it's, you know, it's easier.

So I feel like community and having people around you who are doing the thing.

And it's the same with anything we're doing.

When you think about business, why do we have like, ooh, entrepreneurship groups or masterminds and things like that, right? Why do we have communities for teachers and moms? Because we know that community is where we find help, is where we find support.

is where we find information resources.

But I feel like a lot of podcasters tend to either try to do it alone or they generally try as much as they can to look for that community and it's not there.

That supportive community is really...

Like, hands-on, where you can get all you need is not there.

Think about the trajectory.

A lot of people, when they think about podcasting, they go to Facebook, right? Because there are Facebook groups where you can plug in and, you know, join and ask questions and all.

And that's great.

But the truth is, it gets to a point where that environment, the Facebook podcast environment, gets overwhelming.

And I don't know if you've been in any of them.
