DISCUSSION GROUP

Koke walks to the gym, which takes 17 minutes on foot, and uses the time to give the update he promised after his earlier trip: how the podcast network and his December event are actually going. The original plan was five shows with a 12-episode season each. After reading how other networks stumbled by launching too many shows too early, he scaled back to three running at once and held the rest for later. A few months in, he gives an honest read on where each show stands, what the first day of a new launch taught him, and why his motivation isn’t what it was when he started. It’s a candid look at what happens when plans meet reality, plus a confession about why the episode he announced isn’t the one you’re getting this week.

Show Notes

• Recording on a 17-minute walk to the gym to give the update he promised on the December event and the podcast network
• The original plan: five podcasts, one 12-episode season each
• Why he scaled back after researching other networks: starting with too many shows too early is a common mistake
• The revised rollout: three shows first, the rest to follow
• Ideas still on the table for later shows, including a series that talks with people near the end of life about mortality and a niche-community series
• Where the shows stand: GoodLiving Podcast weekly, Real Matters Only’s season fully recorded with episode 11 out that day and episode 12 the following week, and A Peek Under the Rainbow airing around episode eight or nine with some episodes still unrecorded
• What a new show’s first day taught him: 100-plus plays in the first 24 hours, and a repeatable plan for it
• Amplifying the work beyond audio, including an ebook version of the Real Matters Only episodes
• The December event: progress tied to sponsor funding, social media getting started, and early posts coming soon
• Why motivation dips once the boring parts of the work arrive
• Whether he overestimated demand for niche shows, or whether it’s simply not their time yet
• Manifestation and why it works without a timeline
• The confession: why this week’s announced episode was held back and this walk became the episode
