Episode Transcript
You, you said something, um, that kind of made me remember.
(00:10):
I don't remember who it was that shared this with me.
And so, and I've, I've heard it from many different people.
So whoever was the starter of it, I have no idea, but they basically were saying
like, don't worry about the fact that your first episodes are not going to be polished.
And they were recommending that you go to any YouTube channel, any
YouTube channel that you like.
And instead of looking at their most recent video, look at their first uploads.
(00:33):
Just to see that.
Yeah.
The first one's the lighting's terrible.
They forgot to put on makeup.
They might even have a stain on their shirts, but the point is they showed up.
And so I really love all that you said about basically just keep doing it.
And if you do find that you hate it, give yourself permission to quit, but try it,
(00:54):
given an actual try.
And so I like that you committed to a hundred episodes, but I also like that
you said, at least start with just three.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, like you, you really might hate it and that's totally okay.
But, but we all, that's what I love too about in, in creativity is we, my team
always sees me cause I always say everything is an iceberg.
(01:17):
Everything is an iceberg.
There's so much, there's so many layers of what you think you want to do.
There's so many layers in becoming an influencer or becoming a manager or a
leader or all there's so many other pieces that we have to consider and we
don't know because we've never been in that situation, if you've never done a
podcast from the outside looking in, you think, you know, Oh, it's just, it looks
(01:39):
easy.
It looks, it looks easy.
I just have to get on the microphone and say some things and put it up.
Then you're like, Oh my gosh, who hosts this thing?
How do I do?
If you get into the weeds of it all, then you're not going to do it.
But this is why I always love reminding people of what's your MVP.
What's the minimum viable product?
What is the minimum that I need to do in order to get this podcast out there?
(01:59):
Fortunately, there are places like rss.com where you can get your first,
your first podcast up for free.
Like that's all you have to, you start there, you start there and then you
start to learn and then you start to, to be part of that community and you start
to meet other podcasters and you learn new things.
And that's what I love about communities like this.
This is why it's so important for us to be connected with other people that
(02:20):
are doing this kind of work.
So that's what we have to think about when we, when, especially when we're
first starting.
