Most podcasts don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because the host didn’t expect the work. In this episode, Julie Deem sits down with Kevin Warren, host of the Sports Chasers Media Group, to unpack what it really takes to grow a podcast from casual conversations into a multi-show media brand. Kevin shares the behind-the-scenes reality of starting clunky, learning on the fly, staying consistent with a full-time job, and using AI tools to work smarter instead of harder.

If you’ve ever wondered how long it actually takes to build momentum or how to use podcasting for credibility and press access this conversation is for you.

Episode Highlights:

Most successful podcasts start clunky and improve through consistency.
Early episodes are worth keeping live because transparency builds trust and credibility.
Recording schedules must fit real life to remain sustainable long term.
Press credentials are more accessible when podcasters show consistency and body of work.
Community and in-person events accelerate connection and opportunity faster than algorithms.
