Don’t Miss Out on Radim Malinic’s BEST Kept Secrets to Reaching Episode 100!

“The best part of podcasting was actually just enjoying the patience and the process and not overthinking it too much.”

That line from Radim stayed with me long after we finished recording.

My guest today is Radim Manilic, host of the Daring Creativity Podcast, as he reached a huge milestone. Episode 100. What I loved about this conversation was how grounded it was. There were no shortcuts, no hype, no promises of overnight growth. Just an honest look at what it actually takes to keep a podcast alive long enough to matter.

What really struck me was how little Radim talked about motivation and how much he talked about systems, patience, and enjoying the process. He did not set out chasing numbers or fame. He built something that fit into his life, supported his work, and gave him a voice in his industry. That is why the podcast lasted.

This episode is especially for anyone who is on episode three, episode nine, or thinking about quitting. Radim’s journey is proof that podcasting success is not about being loud. It is about being consistent, intentional, and realistic.

5 Key Talking Points from This Episode

1. Most podcasts fail because they are too hard to run
   Podfade usually comes from friction, not lack of passion. Doing everything yourself drains energy fast.
2. Systems matter more than motivation
   Reaching episode 100 was about workflows and support, not willpower.
3. A strong theme creates longevity
   Radim’s podcast survived because it had clear guardrails and a purpose tied to his work and thinking.
4. Famous guests do not guarantee success
   Depth and relevance matter more than status. Some of the most famous guests did not bring the biggest results.
5. Podcasting gives you a personal voice at scale
   For Radim, the podcast became a career leveler, allowing him to speak directly to thousands of people without gatekeepers.
