Podcasting Without Burnout: Gentle Growth, Content, and Monetization Tips (Trailer)


Thinking about starting a podcast—or restarting it for the fifth time—because life and your brain keep getting in the way? In this trailer for The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, autistic advocate Jimmy Clare shares a gentle, realistic look at podcasting for autistic and neurodivergent creators who are tired of hustle culture and “grind harder” advice.
You’ll get a quick preview of what to expect in the full episode: simple podcasting insights, low-pressure content creation strategies, and monetization tips that don’t require you to be “on” 24/7. Instead of pushing perfection, Jimmy focuses on sustainable routines, working with your energy, and using podcasting as a tool for connection and purpose—not burnout.
Whether you’re just thinking about launching a show, feeling stuck in the middle, or coming back after a break, this trailer will help you see that you can grow a podcast at your own pace, in a way that respects your mental health and executive function.

00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:04.950
I don't know about you, but I believe and think
00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:08.269
that the internet should be a safer place. Well,
00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:10.849
what if I told you that there's a tool that can
00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:14.050
do just that? A safer internet where you don't
00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:17.510
have to monitor every single thing that your
00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:21.809
kids do or that you stumble across, whether it's
00:00:21.809 --> 00:00:26.109
a fake site or not a fake site. This tool is
00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:30.239
called BlockP. It blocks adult websites, but
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.820
also it blocks those fake websites that you might
00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.399
say, hey, this domain is for sale, and hackers
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.899
try to hack all that information or try to scam
00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.460
people out of the information. It also protects,
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.259
and it uses AI to protect against other malicious
00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:51.920
stuff and other garbage that people may stumble
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.719
across the web. Anyway, I thought to myself the
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.619
other day, Why is the internet not a safer place?
00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:08.200
Well, it's because there's money involved. And
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.739
some kind of certain content drives more money.
00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:17.659
Everything has to do with money. And what I like
00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:22.129
about this tool is that it uses... AI built into
00:01:22.129 --> 00:01:25.969
the tool so there's no false positives. And it's
00:01:25.969 --> 00:01:32.030
the only tool that lets you password set a Chrome
00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:38.950
extension or even an Android app settings, et
00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.609
cetera, so you can bypass it easily. Give it
00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:46.230
a try. Go to BlockP and download on Google Play
00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:54.189
or iOS or on your web browser, on whatever web
00:01:54.189 --> 00:01:59.569
browser you use, and let them know what you think
00:01:59.569 --> 00:02:01.609
of the tool. They always listen to your feedback,
00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:06.750
etc. Great company, and they have great things
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:13.270
ahead of them, etc. Take a test one, check it
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:16.819
out. It's free. And let me know what you think.
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.919
And it's called Black P. Go check him out. Welcome
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.139
to Crazy Fitness Guy Healthy Living Podcast,
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:25.819

the autism spectrum to live healthy lifestyles.
00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:30.800
If you think this podcast is only for people
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.719
who are autistic. Then think again. Whether you
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.259
are autistic or not, we have a mix of content
00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:38.180
from healthy living to everything in between
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:41.000
that makes up a balanced and healthy life. Autism
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.139
is our backbone and we strive to support the
00:02:43.139 --> 00:02:46.439
autism community by motivating, inspiring, and
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.180
educating everyone about what autism is. Please
00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:51.740
welcome your host, Jimmy Clare, who is a motivational
00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:55.300
speaker, autism advocate, author, and founder
00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:58.740
of crazyfitnessguide .com. Not just saying it
00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:02.240
hypothetically. I'm not going to name any names,
00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:07.979
but this podcaster, I'm on it on my show. They
00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:10.800
said, let me know when you reach over 100 plus
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.439
podcast episodes. And I asked that personally,
00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:19.039
does it even matter? My show grows every single
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.979
day. And there's some people on the group who
00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:32.099
said yes, and some people said no. uh, the guy,
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.840
Alex, who runs pod match. And he used to do such
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.120
a thing like that. And before he gets to the
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.840
parent to see how serious the person was, but,
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.060
you know, if, if I was a guest to, to go back
00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:49.379
to see him when they started their podcast. So
00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:54.139
I started mine in, uh, April 12th, 2020. And
00:03:54.139 --> 00:03:58.020
I'm almost five years into it. I would likely
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:03.009
guess that I, This person, meaning me, I would
00:04:03.009 --> 00:04:08.370
go guess on my own show due to that math. And
00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:10.629
it's like, okay, even though he's releasing monthly,
00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:15.310
I would say, well, he's been consistent monthly,
00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:19.589
so he's probably going to most likely stay. I
00:04:19.589 --> 00:04:23.910
mean, just logically thinking. I don't know about
00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:28.410
your opinion. I'm just curious, what are your
00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:31.610
thoughts on that? Because do you have to reach
00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:35.329
100 episodes before somebody like that would
00:04:35.329 --> 00:04:40.990
consider going on your show? I saw that post.
00:04:42.129 --> 00:04:46.410
So I, oh, you're good. I will absolutely, you're
00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:48.589
not going to name any names. I will not name
00:04:48.589 --> 00:04:51.490
any names out of respect for you. But that ticked
00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:54.509
me off. Because here's how I look at this whole
00:04:54.509 --> 00:04:57.990
thing. I've gone on podcasts as a guest that
00:04:57.990 --> 00:05:02.189
are in like episode five and they have maybe
00:05:02.189 --> 00:05:05.750
10 downloads per episode. Okay. And they're like,
00:05:05.810 --> 00:05:07.449
Hey, will you come on a podcast and talk about
00:05:07.449 --> 00:05:11.129
whatever it is? Of course I'm going to go on
00:05:11.129 --> 00:05:13.949
that podcast. Number one, I'm helping that podcaster.
00:05:14.029 --> 00:05:18.250
Okay. Number two, that podcaster is taking their
00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:22.389
time. using their resources, using their platform,
00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:24.949
no matter how many people are on it and no matter
00:05:24.949 --> 00:05:28.250
how many episodes they have to interview me.
00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.389
They're putting me out as an expert in whatever
00:05:32.389 --> 00:05:35.029
my field is. They're letting me talk my talk
00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:37.629
and they're sending me a link to it when we're
00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:42.769
done. They're giving me a free piece of marketing
00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:47.550
for me and my business. I don't care if they've
00:05:47.550 --> 00:05:52.290
got five listeners. It's a free piece of marketing.
00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:55.730
I can take that and I can send that all over
00:05:55.730 --> 00:05:58.170
my own socials. I can send it to all of my own
00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:00.209
people. I can put it in my own email and my own
00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:03.009
mailing list and say, Hey, check this out. This
00:06:03.009 --> 00:06:05.449
was a great interview. I got to talk about this
00:06:05.449 --> 00:06:09.050
topic and this topic. And it's a whole new person
00:06:09.050 --> 00:06:13.110
who's got me on their show. Okay. They're doing
00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:18.240
me a favor. interviewing me. And when people
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.360
turn that around and go, well, you know, you're
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.120
not big enough for me to be on your show. I,
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:26.360
I don't give that person a second thought. I'm
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.920
like, you know what? Sorry, feel that way. Move
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.480
on. I will never call that person again either
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.600
because they don't get it. They just don't get
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.860
it. You know what I mean? They think that they're
00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:39.680
important enough to be in front of an audience
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.439
of thousands or hundreds of thousands or whatever
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.120
they think it is. You know what? Good luck. Go
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.439
on Joe Rogan. Because whoever you think you are,
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.620
mister, I want to wait until you get 100 episodes.
00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:53.019
I'll bet Joe Rogan's not knocking on your door
00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:57.540
asking you to be on his podcast. So I'm offering
00:06:57.540 --> 00:07:01.100
to do you a favor and you're being pompous. Pardon
00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:05.800
me, but, you know, fool like that. Goodbye. Have
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.600
a great day. Thanks for tuning into Crazy Fitness

the latest blog posts. Hydroflask is the best
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.740
water bottle, in my opinion, because it keeps
00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.639
my water nice and cold and refreshing throughout
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.480
the day. And yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.259
the day, so even though it stays colder for longer,
00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:06.540
I still like having a reusable water bottle like
00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:10.720
Hydroflask. because it just sits on my desk,
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.860
and it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,
00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:20.259
you've got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it
00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:23.779
keeps it cold longer, which makes me want to
00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:25.839
drink more water throughout the day, because,
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.100
you know, there's nothing worse than drinking
00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:35.000
warm water. Go to hydroflask .com. And use the
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.559
link in the show notes. And yes, I do get a small
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:44.039
commission from Hydroflask, which also helps
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.100
support the show. So tell them I sent you. Use
