I sat down with Mustafa, founder of MyFinJourney, to break down what it actually looks like to build a podcast as a busy business owner. Mustafa has helped investors earn more than $20 million in passive real estate distributions, but this conversation is not about real estate. It’s about the podcast he built, why he started it, what he wanted it to do, and whether it has been worth the time, money, and effort. We talk about podcast saturation, imposter syndrome, choosing a format that actually fits your personality, building a team, staying consistent, and why the goal of a podcast does not always need to be direct monetization. We also get into how podcasting can create trust, credibility, better conversations, speaking opportunities, and long-term business value, even when the ROI is not obvious in the first year.
