Why You Should Start a Podcast in 2026 Podcasting isn’t saturated — it’s misunderstood. In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening in podcasting right now, why most shows fail early, and why that creates a huge opportunity for business owners, coaches, and brands who are willing to show up consistently. This isn’t about chasing downloads or becoming the next Joe Rogan. It’s about building trust, shortening sales cycles, and being found in a world dominated by AI and noise. What We Cover In This Episode Why only ~15% of podcasts are still active (and why that’s good news) How getting past episode 21 puts you in the top 1% of podcasters Why podcasts aren’t top-of-funnel — and why that matters for sales How podcasting builds trust faster than ads, email, or social posts Why video podcasts outperform audio-only in 2026 How YouTube and Spotify have changed podcast discoverability What AI can’t replicate — and why human voice and story matter more than ever How podcasts reduce the number of sales calls needed to convert Why “competition” in podcasting is the wrong mindset The real business outcomes we see from consistent podcasting Who This Is For This episode is for: Business owners who want warmer leads Coaches and consultants tired of repeating themselves on sales calls Brands that want to be trusted, not just visible Anyone wondering if podcasting is “too late” If your goal is relationships, authority, and long-term visibility, this episode is for you. Key Takeaway You don’t need a perfect studio. You don’t need viral clips. You don’t need to “do it right.” You just need to start — because podcasting rewards consistency, not perfection.
