When I went self-employed in 2016, I let go of the company car and purchased a 1998 Honda Civic for $3,400. Today I could buy a new iPhone Duo with 2TB storage for roughly the same amount. Which one would last longer though? ('98 Civics are still all over the place, btw).

How could one person's personal disaster help millions of people? On 9/23/88, Dave Ramsey filed for bankruptcy 💸 Instead of blaming the banks or the government, he changed his mindset and started helping others - laying a path for millions of others to follow. Happy Bankruptcy Anniversary Dave! 🥳

People think I'm weird, because... 18 years ago today I closed my last credit card. I've actually never looked back. It was easier than you think...and I am living proof that you can exist in this country without a credit card (and even without a credit score). No debt. No credit. No problems.

Steve Stewart | #PodcastEditor 🎧 @stevestewart.me · 20/06/2026

This slide from a recent Sound Profitable survey says it all: soundsprofitable.com/research/the... My take: Promote your show in all the places, but show up the right way for those channels. (Shorts on social, "video lite" on YouTube, and make a great audio listening experience for podcast apps).

000

Steve Stewart | #PodcastEditor 🎧 @stevestewart.me · 20/06/2026

The recent Sounds Profitable study shared this slide. What I see here: Publishing on YouTube can't hurt, but if you're targeting high-income earners with a finance or business type podcast then be sure to hit the traditional podcast apps. soundsprofitable.com/research/the...

Steve Stewart | #PodcastEditor 🎧 @stevestewart.me · 19/06/2026

YouTube is a phenomenal place to find podcast content. Podcast apps should take notice, because YouTube is a true search engine. Most podcast apps work like an Excel worksheet (they filter and sort), making it difficult to find the right result quickly. soundsprofitable.com/research/the...

Steve Stewart | #PodcastEditor 🎧 @stevestewart.me · 19/06/2026

When it comes to exposing a podcast to a new audience, social platforms and YouTube are the obvious place to be. Sounds Profitable showed YouTube is where most people discovered new shows, not within podcast apps. Full report at soundsprofitable.com/research/the...

Always wear headphones or earbuds during remote recordings (Riverside, Squadcast/Rooms, Zencastr, and especially Zoom). The best podcast, video or audio, is one that can be understood clearly. Prevention from "going underwater" is a strong first step that can not be over-emphasized.
