004 | Is Blogging Dead? A Look at Why People Think it’s no Longer a Thing and I Think it is

Is blogging dead? Short answer: absolutely not.  In this episode, I'm sorting through the noise and explaining why blogging has never actually left - it's just changed, and more people are finally remembering why it matters.  I walk through the real reasons people think blogging is dead, from social media's explosion to the rise of short-form content, and then I tell you why they're missing the whole picture; because every time you search for something online (and you do this multiple times a day), you're probably landing on a blog post. A long-form blog post that's been working for its author for years.  Plus, I'm sharing why owning your blog and email list is the competitive advantage you need in 2026, and why the blogging community is so much more than nostalgia - it's the future. If you've been wondering whether you should start a blog or whether yours is worth keeping, this episode is for you.
