197. Podcast Expert Quits: When a Smart Business Move Feels Wrong (Jeremy Enns)

As an entrepreneur or content creator, there’s always pressure to focus on what makes “strategic business sense.” But what happens when those so-called “smart” decisions start to feel anything but right?

In this episode, Jeremy Enns shares his journey through podcasting and business strategy. We revisit his business-aligned podcast that ultimately felt more like an obligation than an authentic creative outlet. Jeremy also discusses how quitting business projects that no longer serve you can lead to greater clarity, allowing you to focus on what truly resonates with your evolving identity and grows your business as a result.
