This isn't a course. It's a right of passage.

Publishing 7 episodes in 21 days puts you in the top 10% of podcasts. Proving your voice belongs in the arena.

You’re an Expert. But No One Can Hear You.

Most experts want to share their insights through a podcast, but they’re stuck in random acts of marketing. They overthink the gear, the topic, and the process... so they never hit record. Instead of building authority and attracting clients, they stay buried under indecision, perfectionism, and tech overwhelm.


You know you should start.

You’ve talked about it, planned it, maybe even bought the mic. But without a clear system, the dream drifts. Each time someone else launches a show, it stings a little. Your message deserves more than a notebook full of notes. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to start. Confidence fades, the algorithm moves on, and your audience forgets your name.

Without shipping, authority never compounds. And that’s what separates talkers from creators.

The Solo Podcast Challenge fixes all that.

It’s a 21‑day bootcamp that walks you from zero to seven published episodes—step by step, day by day. Each day includes one short lesson, one mindset shift, and one clear action you can complete in about 30 minutes. By the end, you won’t just know how to podcast—you’ll have a live show, a repeatable system, and the confidence to keep going.

Learn My AI-Driven Podcast System

My AI system makes it easy for a single host to manage the full production process solo.

Preproduction

I walk you through the ideation process I use in ChatGPT to reduce 90 minutes of prep down to 10 minutes with a custom tool I'll provide (and help you customize your own).

Production

You get a straightforward guide to how I'm using Zencastr for recording. I show you every setting I choose through the process.

Postproduction

This is where most production used to go to die. With this process in Zencastr, you never have to see footage go unpublished.

Distribution

I use a few tools to automate my distribution and show you how you can use and customize them yourself to turn each episode into a waterfall of original content.
