Two months into The Brenton Peck Podcast, I found myself at a moment that almost broke the streak: my guest canceled, my schedule collapsed, and everything in me wanted to skip a week. But that’s not what this show is about.

In this solo episode, I walk through the lessons I’ve learned from building the podcast from scratch — the embarrassing early mistakes with audio levels and microphones, the hidden labor behind each episode, and the discipline required to show up when momentum fades.

This episode is part honesty, part craftsmanship, and part reminder that consistency beats talent. Whether you’re launching a podcast, building a brand, or wrestling to stay faithful to the work in front of you, this is a conversation to keep you moving when you don’t feel like it.

This is the first solo reflection of the show — a behind-the-scenes look at the process, pressure, and practical realities of building something publicly.

I share:

• the technical mistakes almost no one talks about

• the systems I’m building as I go

• the mindset shifts required to produce weekly, even when life implodes

This episode is for anyone who is:

• starting something new

• pushing through resistance

• learning discipline through imperfection

• trying to honor the work even when momentum dies

No polish — just truth, process, and practice.

• Why I almost skipped this week

• Guest cancellations, scheduling chaos, and pressure

• Early mistakes: audio levels, mic issues, technical problems

• Humility in learning “out loud”

• Why consistency matters more than feeling ready

• Systems vs. motivation

• Platform discipline: YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, Substack

• The difference between vision and execution

• Showing up when everything goes wrong

• What I’m learning about iteration & improvement

• Discipline & Mastery

• Faith & Formation

• Responsibility & Becoming

• Story & Identity
