The Three Things Podcasters Need
Health: If you don't have your health, your mindset goes in the toilet as you don't want to podcast.
Mindset/Attitude: You lose the will to podcast without the proper mindset.
Support: If your family and friends aren't supportive and nag you about the time you spend podcasting, that will degrade your mindset. If you take on the “I'll sleep when I'm dead,” people sacrifice sleeping, etc, and that then leads to them getting sick, etc.
