The podcast nobody is talking about

Transcript Summary Repurpose

00:00:05 People ask me why I don't charge for the podcast. Here's the thing — I can't afford to.

00:00:13 Paywalls kill discovery. If my best episode is behind a gate, nobody tells their friend about it.

00:00:21 What actually pays the bills: one workshop a year — and that workshop fills up in ninety seconds.

00:00:30 Free is the channel. The event is the business.

“I tried four other 'free' transcription tools. Three wanted my card to start, one watermarked my SRT. TranscriptMagic actually meant free.”
