You have to show up every day when success isn't guaranteed. If you put in enough days, eventually you'll get there. How many days do you think you've been working on your podcast?

Do you have guests sign a podcast release form? When conducting a podcast interview, it’s essential that everyone is aligned from the start. A well-written podcast release form ensures your guests clearly understand how their interview will be used, including important details around copyright, ownership, and distribution. Beyond setting clear expectations, a release form offers several key benefits: - Signals professionalism — It shows you take your podcast seriously and respect your guests’ time and contribution. - Limits liability — Protecting you if you ever decide to sell, license, or monetize your episodes in the future. - Saves time later — Avoiding the hassle of tracking down former guests years later for permissions, especially when applying for business insurance or expanding your show. Most importantly, it gives you peace of mind, knowing both parties are on the same page. It’s also a great opportunity to confirm your guest has the right equipment (microphone, high-speed internet, etc.) before recording day.
