Podcasting for your business is supposed to grow your influence and opportunities… but for most podcasters, it feels like a time-consuming side project with no clear return.
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Is this even worth it?”
“Why isn’t my audience growing?”
“How do I actually make money from my podcast?”
You’re in the right place.
I’m Kaleb, a creative entrepreneur on a mission to turn podcasting into a real business asset—without burning out.
The Podcaster’s Journey is an open journal, a behind-the-scenes look at what actually works when it comes to building an audience, streamlining your workflow, and making podcasting sustainable for your business.

If you want to see what actually works, follow along.
New episodes every Tuesday.
