Speaker 1 (00:00):
So one thing that I
love, that is especially fun
about my podcast and the contentthat I create, is I get to ask
other creators about theirpodcast journey.
So we have had so many peopleon the show and I just love that
this kind of gets to be theirsafe space to share their
(00:23):
mistakes or share theirchallenges or share their
milestones or celebrations abouttheir podcast, and I thought
this would be a really funopportunity to extend that to
some of our members forPodcasters Connect.
So I'm sure you've probablyheard me talk about this, but
Podcasters Connect is ourmembership where we lean into
(00:47):
working on all the differentpieces of your content.
So we have monthly coachingcalls, we do audits, like, if
you want feedback on how yourwebsite flows or, you know,
building your email list orthings set up properly.
So it's more than just melistening to your podcast and
saying, oh, it sounds great.
It's a lot more of the actualbusiness of creating content to
(01:10):
drive more revenue for yourbusiness.
So today I am so happy to haveRemy on the show.
So Remy is one of our premiumcommunity members and I asked a
group of people like, hey, Iwould love to interview you so
you could share more of yourstory.
And Remy's like this wholeinterview, did not disappoint,
(01:33):
because her topic that shecreates content about is about
personal brand stories.
So Remy is a personal brandstory strategist who works
one-on-one with serviceproviders, coaches and
consultants to help themidentify which stories to share,
when and why.
So it builds trust with newaudiences and creates deep
(01:57):
connections with potentialcustomers.
So she created the 10 StoryConnectors Framework for those
who feel they don't have a big,epic story.
Can you relate to that?
Because I sure as heck couldwhenever I first started my
podcast.
But her framework guides peoplethrough sharing 10 meaningful
moments from their journey thathighlight the benefits and value
(02:19):
of what they offer.
She's also the host of whoCares About my Story and we're
going to get into the name ofher show and her artwork because
it is so dang good, but herpodcast is all about how sharing
your personal brand story cansignificantly impact your
business.
So, whether you're just gettingstarted and you want to hear
(02:40):
from someone else who is in thetrenches doing their show right
now, which is exactly what Remydoes or you also want to hear
from someone else who is in thetrenches doing their show right
now, which is exactly what Remydoes, or you also want to hear
from someone who talks all aboutpersonal brand story and
understands how importantstorytelling is.
Either one of those reasons isan incredible reason to tune
into today's episode.
So let's get right to it.

(03:25):
Right Profit Podcast listeners,I am so excited for today's
guest to be on the show today.
So welcome, remy.
How are you?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Thank you so much for
having me.
This is so much fun already.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, this is going to
be such an incredible journey.
You know, remy is someone whois she's in our Podcasters
Connect community and sheactually invited me to be on her
show and we're kind ofrecording these episodes like
back to back this week.
So this is the second time thatI've popped on a call with Remy
and we're like chatting.
So I feel like we're kind ofpicking up and like oh, like we
(04:02):
can just continue ourconversation, but y'all are
going to have to go check outLike I don't know if it's going
to be out in live by the timethis episode goes live.
But I will absolutely link toour conversation that Remy and I
had on her podcast, because itwas all about storytelling, all
about how to tell a good story.
I shared stories that I'd nevershared anywhere else.
So y'all are going to have togo listen to Remy's podcast, but
(04:24):
let's just start there.
Remy, can you tell us a littlebit about what it is that you do
about your podcast?
And let's just get startedthere.
Sure.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So I am Remy Monsera
and I am a personal brand story
strategist, so I help people toidentify which stories to share,
when and why, and I loveworking around stories.
I have been loving stories allmy life.
(04:56):
I always share this littlestory of the first time that in
my neighborhood they opened thepublic library and I was super
excited.
I was one of the first peopleto get the library card because
I was just excited about theidea of reading all those books
with all those stories andsomehow was a way of traveling,
exploring other lives, othercultures and learning about
(05:16):
others.
And now I'm so lucky to beworking around stories and
helping others to use theirstories as a way to amplify
their impact, so I love that.
And then about my podcast yeah,it's called who Cares About my
Story and the idea is to sharethe behind the scenes of
(05:37):
deciding what to share and whatnot and the impact that sharing
our story has for our businesses.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, I have to ask,
before we go any further, who
designed your cover art andwe'll make sure on the video
version that we have it likelike come up on screen or
something.
But did you do this?
Like where did?
Because when I looked at it Iwas like, oh my gosh, this is so
cool, it's so artsy and fun.
Like where did that idea comefrom and did you design that?
(06:07):
You have to tell us about yourartwork because it's really fun.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh, I am so honored
because a friend of mine she's
an artist and she offered thiscover as a gift to me when I was
launching the podcast becauseshe knew how excited I was about
the idea of launching thispodcast podcast.
Because she knew how excited Iwas about the idea of launching
this podcast and she has beentalking with me about the
(06:31):
podcast idea and so on, so shereally knew the idea behind the
podcast and the reason and shecreated this specific artwork
for the podcast.
So I am really grateful forthat because, yeah, I love it
too.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, I was going to
say you'll have to pass that
along and be like we love it, Ithink it's so cool and I think
it's so fun.
But I also, you know, I hadtold Remy I was like well, let's
talk about your story today.
Like, let's really dive intothe different pieces and that's
one that we will hear some folksshare.
Like, oh, you know, I hiredsomeone on Fiverr to create
something, or I did this, but Ilove that.
(07:07):
You know you had someone inyour immediate network.
So if anybody's listening tothis and you're trying to figure
out artwork, like ask some ofthe artists that you know, like
Remy did, and be like hey, doyou want to create something for
me?
Like you know, of course youoffer to pay him or maybe
they'll do a favor for you, likeRemy's friend did, but offer to
pay him or maybe they'll do afavor for you, like Remy's
friend did, but you know, havingthat piece because it's so
(07:28):
different, it is not somethingthat you can just go on to Canva
and you realize like, oh, 17other people have very similar
artwork than I do.
So I think that that's just onekind of fun behind the scenes
story.
But what about the title,because I think even just the
title of your name is or, youknow, the podcast name is who
(07:48):
cares about my story?
What a fantastic.
I love that it's a questionlike it's posed as a question,
because I do think that this is.
I mean, you and I arestorytellers, we, we talk to
people all the time about this,but, um, is that something that
just kept coming up and up foryou and you just were like, oh,
I have to do this, where didthat come from?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So, yeah, this is a
great question and I have been
thinking about my podcast formonths before I started and
somewhere around that I was like, yeah, this is going to be the
name, and this is a questionthat a lot of people in my
audience ask themselves, andthey have this concern.
(08:33):
They they listing all theshoots.
You should tell your story, butthen they have this feeling of
I don't have an epic story toshare.
Who will care about it?
So this question came again andagain, with people questioning
why they should share theirstories.
So that's when I, at some point, I was like, yeah, this is the
(08:56):
name, that I like Somethingclicked and it's like, yeah,
this is it, I am notoverthinking, I got this one.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I love it and I think
it's such a from a marketing
perspective, from a brandingperspective, it automatically
attracts the right audiencebecause it's asking that
question that they're askingthemselves.
Right, they're already askingthat question.
So you know immediately that,oh, this is.
They're going to either beattracted to this immediately or
(09:24):
they're not, and that's finetoo, like we shouldn't be afraid
of that.
But I think that it's, it'sjust, it's so fun, it's so fun
and now so let's let's backtrackinto why.
I mean, I know you shared about, like, why stories in
particular are really importantto you, even from you know, way
back when you were little, andhow, how that impacts your life
(09:46):
and how stories just happen.
But when it comes to decidingto start a podcast, did you have
questions of like should I do ablog?
Do I need to do a YouTubechannel?
Should I do just social mediacontent?
Like, what about podcasting?
Specifically made you saythat's really what I want to do.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
First of all, I love
listening to podcasts and I know
how you create this intimacywith the show that you are
listening to and it's like youare really getting how they are
and their approach to things andtheir points of view.
(10:30):
So, as a listener, I appreciateall of that.
So I thought that's going to bea great way for myself to do
what I wanted.
Like what I have clarity on wasthe goals of the podcast.
And then it's yeah, there isseveral goals there, but mainly,
I would say, three of them.
(10:52):
So the first one was likesharing this idea of your story
is relevant and it's worthtelling.
That's my main message that Ilike to convey.
So, using the podcast as a wayto convey that, I felt that it's
a great way for bringing othersto share their experiences so
(11:13):
the listener can see differentpoints of view and different
ways of doing things.
And that's my second goal,which is like for people to see
like one size fits all formulais not the right way for me.
You need to see what is goodfor you, for your circumstances,
(11:34):
for your needs.
And then the third goal isrelated to my positioning.
I thought that this could be agreat way for me to position as
a personal brand storystrategies and also to position
my framework that then storycollector framework.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I love that and I I'm
like I'm sitting here thinking
about when.
When we ask these questions, wethink it's usually like a
straightforward answer, butthere really are like so many
layers because I'm suresomeone's listening and they're
like oh yeah, like when I madethat decision, I had like four
other reasons behind it, or Ihad a bunch of reasons why I
(12:13):
would prefer.
Usually people are like I don'tlike video that much or I don't
want to do video, so I just didmy podcast.
But you are absolutely right,like the intimacy that you
create with a podcast isunparalleled.
Like you cannot get that type ofintimacy I don't think so, even
on YouTube or any otherplatform.
Like it's so special and unique.
(12:34):
But also I just think aboutlike having that really deep
connection with a podcastyourself as a consumer and then
knowing that that was just thenext step in your journey.
It's like it's what makes themost sense.
But I want to ask a questionabout language.
Actually, I was thinking aboutthis, um, because yourself, uh,
I don't know if you've toldeveryone, if you said where
(12:56):
you're located in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh yeah, we didn't
mention yet.
Yeah, I am in Spain, I am fromSpain, from Mal English or in my
native language.
Do I need to?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
you know, create
products and services, like
marketing, and it's one of thosequestions that I myself haven't
had to ask those questions.
So and I do know that we have aglobal audience here and we
haven't really addressed thisbefore.
So could you speak to that,like, did you have a thought
process or were you consideringdoing this in Spanish or as any
(13:46):
of your client work or yourmarketing?
Like let's just kind of talkthrough that, because I think
it'd be helpful for other peoplelistening that they're thinking
through those decisions andtrying to understand what the
best move for them is.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Of course.
So for me, I started when Istarted my business.
I decided to create mycommunication in English as a
way to amplify the amount ofpeople that I would reach with
my content and things like that,and I was like, okay, I focus
(14:21):
on in-person networking inSpanish, but then my online
content is in English.
That was like my main thoughts.
And then after a while, it wasa point where I think about,
okay, do I do this in English orI move to Spanish and English,
(14:42):
or just Spanish, and at the end,I decided to keep in English.
Because of all the work that Ihave done already and the idea
of me starting my business, oneof the things that I wanted was
work from anywhere, with peoplefrom all over the world.
So, because I have Spanish asmy language, it was like, okay,
(15:06):
I can speak to anyone in Spanishand then I amplify the people
that I can talk to by doingEnglish.
But I would say this is superpersonal, and the only thing
that I would like to highlightis even because, at the
beginning, I remember myselfthinking about, ok, my accent
and people will not understandme and all that, and for me it
(15:30):
was a moment of OK.
Whenever I am in a conversation, I am just focused on trying to
communicate with the person,and it's not that much if there
is a bit of mispronunciation oranything like that, like now.
But yeah, it's more about thecommunication and this with
storytelling, you know howpowerful it is.
(15:51):
So I would say that this is apersonal decision and there is
not a right or wrong answer.
But for those who are thinkingabout doing something like that,
I will encourage them to do sobecause if they are trying to do
it, there is some something ispushing them into that decision.
So, yeah, just try, go for itand experiment.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, I think it's
such good advice and thank you
for being so vulnerable andsharing that piece of your story
, because I do think that thoseare.
I actually heard someone elsein our community recently say
well, I don't know that peoplein like my local community
really want what I'm offering,but this could be a global offer
and I could work with anyone,and that was kind of the
(16:37):
decision that made them want tosay I think I'm going to do this
in English too.
So, like you said, it's apersonal choice and it's very
layered, like if you're going towork with people in your local
market and that's all you wantto do, then great, that's
fantastic.
But I just really wanted tohear your perspective on if
there was an actual thoughtprocess in the pieces of making
(16:57):
that decision, because I thinkyou're absolutely right, it's
going to depend on the personand the type of content they're
creating and what they're doing.
But it's always I love sharingdifferent people's perspectives
on this show.
I think it's what makes our ourshow so special and so powerful
is to hear all the behind thescenes thought processes and all
the things, and it's just funto talk to people about their
podcast, because you typicallyprobably wouldn't get these
(17:20):
questions.
On other shows.
People are like we don't reallycare about that as much, but we
do here.
We absolutely care about thathere.
But, remy, I want to go back tojust behind the scenes of what
your journey has been like, justas a creator in general, and
how you've sought, I guess,resources from different places.
(17:41):
Like, just tell me how thatworked for you.
Like, are you deciding one day,okay, I'm going to start a
podcast, and then you're goingto YouTube, you're maybe looking
up books or you're listening toother podcasts.
Like, what did that really looklike for you?
As you're cause you know, Iknow that you are excited to get
this podcast up and running,but what actually made you say,
(18:03):
okay, I'm going to take thisseriously, I'm going to get this
podcast Like it, like it'sgoing to happen and be a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah.
So I was, um, let's say uh,thinking a lot about starting it
, because it was like, okay,whenever I started, I'm in my
mind I need to commit to this,like having to do it every week
or so.
So I had these like super rigidthoughts that need to be a
(18:33):
certain way.
But this was not true, ofcourse, but I had these thoughts
, so I was like overthinkingwhen to start it, because it was
like, okay, it started, I needto keep going and not missing,
and all that.
And at some point I waslistening to a lot of content
like yours around creatingpodcasts and so on.
(18:55):
So, and then I got theopportunity to work with a
podcast manager and she has aservice for launching a podcast.
So she really helped me withall the process of the more
technical side of things anddeciding which hosting to use
and all that.
That was super handy because Ididn't need to do all these
(19:17):
research and then not knowing ifI was making the right decision
.
So that that was really helpfuland that, also because the
opportunity came in, a certainway, was a way of putting a
deadline to me, because thenit's like, okay, if I want to
use this opportunity, there is atimeline and I decided to go
(19:39):
and use it, and so that washelpful as well.
But yeah, I created like, likeat the first stage was more
about, okay, learning fromothers, a bit like YouTube and
things like that, but thengetting the help of someone was
really useful.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, and I think
that this is something that, if
anybody's listening right now,like if you're deciding if you
want to have a podcast, or likeis this the right thing for me?
I cannot tell you how big anaccountability partner like that
piece, even if it's justsomeone to tell you oh, you
should launch on this date.
It doesn't have to be someonethat walks you through
(20:16):
step-by-step, or even hiringsomeone, like Remy did, to do
like help you with the logisticsand the backend, but just
solidifying that date of whenyou're going to like hit the
publish button and things willbe live.
And I think that that scares alot of people, and it has it
should.
It's launching the thing right,it's putting it and it's a big
(20:38):
deal.
I hope that everyone celebrateswhen they launch their podcast,
because it is a really big deal.
But I found that so many peopleget caught up in the oh, I
should do this or I can't launchuntil that's ready, and then
they get caught in this cycle ofthinking and overthinking and
doing things.
But just having thataccountability of saying, nope,
I'm going to launch on thisspecific date and I'm going to
(21:00):
put it out into the world, itcan just make all the difference
.
And actually, remy, I don'tknow that we covered this yet.
When did you actually launchyour podcast and how many
episodes are you on right now?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, so I launched
it in April 2024.
And at the moment, I have 18episodes.
And these go back to the ideaof I need to publish every
whatever and.
And that because I decided whenI started, instead of doing
weekly, I was going to do itlike every two weeks, and then I
(21:36):
was not even thinking aboutseasons or anything like that,
and it was like just puttingmyself into these rules and all
that is like at a certain pointwas like okay, I can do my own
rules, I can do this in a waythat makes sense for me and for
my business, because these arepodcasts related to a business,
(22:00):
so it's not just something thatI do as a hobby, but I need to
think about, okay, what is thetime that I am investing into
this and all that?
Right?
So, just for the listener, justgive yourself permission to
think about what is the best wayfor you to start, because
(22:22):
sometimes that's the thing thatwe need.
Right, we need to start andthen we figure it out and things
can change.
For example, I don't say in mypodcast when it's going to be
the next one.
So if I want to change in thefuture, I will change it, and at
the moment it's like every twoweeks and it's okay, and at some
point I needed to pause, but Iam back.
(22:45):
So you need to figure it outwhat makes sense to you, and
there is not just one way ofdoing things.
Just give yourself permission.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I feel like you, you
have been listening, you have
been listening.
That is.
That is the thing that we doaround here.
It's like we've got to figureout what consistency looks like
for you, because, at the end ofthe day, we want you to have a
sustainable podcast, one thatmakes sense for you.
So I'm so happy to hear thatyou found something that works
for you, for your business, andthat I mean when we're recording
(23:16):
.
This is not quite a year, butyou're about to celebrate a full
year of having your show and Ithink that that's so much fun.
We will absolutely.
You actually just gave me anidea.
I'm like, ooh, we need tocelebrate anniversaries in our
community, cause that would be.
How fun is that to celebratewith other people?
But congratulations, I mean,you're coming up.
It'll be a year before you knowit, and I think that when you
(23:39):
have those milestones, it justis like, oh my gosh.
You look back at that day thatyou launched and you're like I
can't believe I'm already hereand this is like I've been doing
this for that long.
But I want to actually pivotinto the Podcasters Connect
community because I'm curious,knowing that there was kind of
like a time of you podcastingbefore you had collaboration or
(24:04):
like got feedback with otherpeople or talk to other people.
What does that look like foryou?
Or what is the community meantto you?
Has there been anythingspecifically that's been helpful
that you didn't have before youjoined Podcasters Connect?
I?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
think that the main
thing is having a community that
understands what you are goingthrough.
Or they have been there beforeand you can ask for support or
for feedback.
But also, yeah, that aspect ofcommunity and I know that you
talk about this accountabilityand community, how big they are
(24:38):
going to be and they have been,but this year especially be, and
they have been, but this yearespecially and it's because when
you might have a certainhesitant about something, you
can go there and ask forfeedback and just bonus ideas.
So it's really good to feelthat you have the, the support
there.
And then, in the other hand,like the, the content out, this,
(25:02):
all this that you do, that are.
I love them, because you canlearn so much just by listening
to what you are analyzing fromothers like, oh, I haven't
thought about that, thissomething I need to pay
attention, so this has beenreally useful.
And then the workshops, ofcourse, but I would say the main
thing is the community itself,like having a group of people
(25:25):
that you can, yeah, get likefeedback and support from that.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, well, I love
hearing this because I mean,
that's just like it makes me sohappy to hear all of these
things, because that's reallywhat we were dreaming about when
we created this and I've talkedabout this a little bit not
super detailed on the podcast,but previously we would have.
I would have people reach outto me and they were asking me
(25:52):
questions and I would think,gosh, there's probably seven
other people that had thisquestion, or people would reach
out on Instagram or on a YouTubechannel comment, and so it's
like I was running a businesswithout having like this
community aspect, the way thatwhat I think we have now is so
(26:13):
powerful because it's not on,it's not a Facebook group where
you can get.
So I mean, I don't know aboutyou, remy, but I get so easily
distracted anytime I go intoFacebook, even if I'm only going
to one specific group.
It's like you have to go inwith your blinders and then,
even then, you get sucked intosomething else.
It's like wait, who's that?
What did they say?
(26:34):
I want to go check it out and Ifeel like with our community,
like even today, right beforethis, you had said, oh, I don't
know if I have the link, andright before this, like we, we
were, uh, you had said, oh, Idon't know if I have the link,
and I was like, oh, okay, andthen we were just DMing in the
chat.
But it's not, it doesn't feelinvasive to me, like it doesn't
feel like anyone's bothering me,whereas if I get pinged on
(26:54):
Facebook and I'm not right inthe head space to talk business
or to talk that, becauseFacebook's one of those that's
like, unless you've always runit as your business, like I'm
pre-business on Facebook, so itjust still feels like this weird
thing.
And I know people, when theyreach out to me, feel that way
too.
Like, oh, I don't know if Ishould be messaging you.
(27:14):
So all of that to say havingour community is so special
because we can be inconversation, like you can reach
out to me, you can reach out tothe group and ask questions and
, like you said, the businessaudits are, um, those are just
fun for me.
If I'm being totally honest,what's one thing that you've
heard in one of those that, likeyou said, it's something to
(27:35):
think about or something thatyou wanted to implement in the
future?
Was there a specific piece ofum, I guess a website audit or
looking at content.
What's something that stood outto you?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
yeah, yeah, you were
analyzing, um, I remember now
carrie's uh website about herepisodes and there I I make
notes because it's not just onething, it's several things that
you shared there on things toimplement, because that's like a
next step that I want to do,like creating an article for
(28:07):
each of my episodes.
So I was making all the notesbecause I don't have anything in
place yet.
So it was perfect timing for mebecause it's like, yeah, this
is perfect because I am gettingready before, so I get the
advice before starting, so Ihave my notes there.
So when I am back to this idea,I will take my notes and just
put them into place.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Oh, I love hearing
that, because I do.
I think that it's somethingthat you know, whatever stage of
podcasting you're in, likethere is something for everyone.
Like we have people that havebeen podcasting almost as long
as I've been podcasting and thenwe have folks that are just
getting started and they're likeI just want to, you know, have
fun doing this and I want toconnect, kind of like what you
(28:49):
were saying earlier.
It's like I want to hear frompeople that have been doing this
.
I want to hear you know kind ofthe ups and downs, the highs
and lows, and I think that it'sit's just such a fun group.
I mean, of course I'm going tobe biased because I love our
community, but I just lovehearing that other people are
enjoying it too and they knowthat when they go there, like
that's what you're getting.
Like you're getting highquality people that are on the
(29:12):
same journey as you and tryingto accomplish really cool stuff
and you can learn from eachother.
But I want to go back to yourjourney as a podcaster.
It's funny because I listenedto this podcast where they talk
about um.
It's a bunch of actors andsomeone is like a classically
trained, like theater actor andso he always asked people like,
(29:32):
do you have any like stories,like from behind the scenes or
something that went crazy wrong?
And I'm like I need to startasking my guests that so is
there something that's beenreally memorable, that happened
on your podcast journey so farthat you're just like, oh my
gosh, I need to tell everyonelike don't do this or don't let
this happen to you.
Has that is, is there anythingthat comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Um, yeah, I would say
um, technical issues with the
recordings and things like that,with the recordings and things
like that.
And then I have I use a toolfor, like the captions, because
for me it's really important tohave the captions for the people
that want to go and check itout.
And this is something I go in alittle tangent here, but when I
(30:18):
was practicing my English andtrying to improve my English,
one of the things that I did waslistening to Amy Porterfield's
podcast, with the transcriptionthat she has, and following that
and learning expression and allthat.
So that was like learning aboutthe topic but also practicing
English at the same time.
So, yeah, for me it's reallyimportant to have the captions
(30:39):
right.
So I have this automated tool,but sometimes it's sometimes off
, so you need to review them andall that.
So that's really important tome.
And at some point and one of theepisode was totally wrong I
didn't get it and it's like,yeah, you need to check it out
before going out.
If this is something that isimportant to me to to have it,
(31:00):
also for people that they cannotlisten to the podcast, but they
have the opportunity to go toYouTube, and Also for people
that they cannot listen to thepodcast, but they have the
opportunity to go to YouTube andread the captions.
I believe that that's likebecause I am all about
repurposing I love I know thatyou love that as well.
It's like, whenever you aredoing some content if it's a
podcast or whatever it is youwant to repurpose that and you
(31:21):
want that to get the most out of, like, the most impact possible
.
So, if you can use the sameformat in different ways and
different applications so morepeople can get that information
from them, yeah, I am all forthat.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I love that and I
think that it's helpful, because
I do I mean, even with all thethings you can do now with AI,
like having that transcriptionis so powerful as like a jumping
off point for all the differentways that you can repurpose.
So that's, yes, I totally agree.
I think the transcripts aresuper, super important.
What advice would you givepeople that are in the stage of
(32:01):
just starting right now and weactually we'll, we'll we'll come
back to that question here in alittle bit but I just want to
know, from the perspective ofwhere you are today, like
reflecting on the last yearalmost a year, sorry, let's,
let's call it what it is thealmost year it will be April
soon enough but looking back,like what's been something that
(32:21):
is just you're really proud of,like you're so proud to be
sitting where you are today,having almost been doing this
for a year, what's, what's thething that really stands out to
you?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
For me, is that how
having this podcast has helped
my confidence?
Because one of the first thingis, whenever I had this idea for
months, I was asking people tobe a guest on a podcast that
didn't exist.
So it's just asking for a jumpof faith and it's like, yeah,
(32:59):
I'm creating this podcast, wouldyou like to be a guest?
And having asking all thepeople, and everyone says yes
and that was like reallysomething that touched me.
Everyone that I have asked forthey are so open, they are, they
support the idea.
Even if they don't have thecapacity for calendar because of
their calendar, they aresupporting me and just like
(33:22):
really appreciating the topicsand the things that I do.
So that was really somethingthat helped me to keep
encouraging me to do so and, atthe same time, the feedback from
the people that has been aguest saying that they are
looking forward to listening toother people's interviews.
(33:43):
That was before starting likepublicly publishing the episodes
.
That was like, okay, this goingwell, uh.
So yeah, it's a, it's aconfirmation of, okay, what I
have in my head, the idea that Ihave is something that could
impact others and could bebeneficial, not just the idea
that I have, but others aregoing through this and
(34:07):
supporting this idea.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And what is it?
Because I want to talk about.
You touched on something reallyimportant there.
So it's like that confirmationpiece, that validation piece.
What does that feel like foryou?
Because I'll share what thatfeels like for me.
But I'd love to hear whensomeone says this was so good,
remy, or I really enjoy yourpodcast, or they like send you a
(34:31):
message and say this is reallygood what you're doing, like how
does that make you feel Like?
I know that's kind of like aweird question, but I don't know
if you can share with a littlebit about how that just makes
you feel inside.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, this stuff like
fulfillment feeling and
especially because, as I saidbefore, my first goal with this
is sharing this idea that yourstory matters, that your story
is something powerful and it'sgoing to help you, help your
audience and your business, soit's really a win-win-win
(35:08):
situation.
So whenever I get thisconfirmation from outside, it's
like yeah, you are in the rightpath.
There are things to improve.
Of course, there are millionlittle details that can be done
better, but still the mainthought is there.
There are a million littledetails that can be done better,
but still the main thought isthere and the idea why I started
(35:28):
is going in that direction.
So that's powerful.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It is, and I don't
know if this happens for you,
but what I have found is thatwill happen on days when I need
it the most, when I feel likeI'm either questioning
everything because y'all, I havedoubts I have doubts too, when
I'm doing stuff and I'm like, isthis the right thing?
Should I have created thatepisode or done that interview?
And then I'll get a DM, or Iget an email, or someone just
(35:55):
says to me oh my gosh, Ilistened to this episode, it was
so powerful and it really doesFor me.
I feel like it happens on thosedays where I'm like I just
don't know what I'm doinganymore, and then you get that
email, you get that message,someone sends you something and
you're like that's right, I'msupposed to keep, just like
putting one foot in front of theother.
(36:17):
It doesn't mean that Remy and Ihave all the solutions or all
the answers, by no means, butit's just like that confirmation
piece can be that lifeline tojust keep going, just show up
for that next episode, show upand record something else.
But I'm just curious if that,if that, ever happens to you
that way.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, and something
is that also has been really um,
like encouraging is receivingthe, the feedback, as you say,
the day that you need it, andalso, um, as a way to to support
you when you are like I'm notsure if I am.
For me also also was about yeah, I have my doubts.
(37:02):
I'm going back to the language.
I had my doubts about how willfeel for certain guests going to
a podcast and maybe not if I amnot clear on my questions or
things like that.
That was a concern for me andI'm glad and I'm proud that I
keep going, even if that was aconcern.
(37:23):
But because the messages that Ihave received is like, yeah,
maybe my words are not the rightone every time, but the feeling
and the conversation behind theconversation goes through the
screen, so that's more importantthat if there is some word that
I misspelled or said wrong.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, and I'm
thinking about like that, like
you're saying, the universallanguage of just transcending
above all of that and then justhaving great conversations.
It's so powerful, so powerful.
Oh my gosh, I could ask you 17million more questions about
your show because I just thinkwhat you talk about particular
like I love storytelling, like Isaid, we will link to if it, if
(38:08):
it's live or whether it's not,like we will link to Remy's show
.
You're going to have to gocheck it out.
But specifically, I want you togo listen to the episode that
we did on her podcast, becauseit was such a fun conversation.
We got into the deep, deepstories.
Like I said, I shared stuff onthe podcast that I hadn't shared
before and they were just.
(38:30):
It was so interesting.
So I just want to congratulateyou on having such a fun show
but also being so great aboutpulling stories out of other
people.
So not just sharing storiesyourself, but it felt so easy,
so I'm just bragging on you nowas a podcaster.
It felt so easy to share mystory on your show.
(38:52):
So you have a very, very greatway of interviewing and I just
want to give you big kudos.
So if you have questions, likeam interviewer.
You're an incredibleinterviewer.
It was really really fun beingon your show.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This means a lot to
me, especially coming from you.
I know I really like your wayof having like just so natural
and genuine conversations inyour show, so it means a lot
that you said that to me.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Yes, yes, yes, I'm
like.
I'm giving you all the bighearts.
All the big hearts today.
Well, you are not going to be astranger to these, but we have
some rapid fire questions thatwe ask all of our guests.
So are you ready, remy?
I think, so I think so.
Maybe we'll see, okay, so whatis a piece of advice that you
(39:40):
would give to a brand newpodcaster or content creator?
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I have this advice in
general for everything related
to business.
It is simplify and focus.
I know that it's easier saidthan done, but just try to keep
it as simple as possible and getthe next step.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I love it, I love it.
Okay, the next one is atwo-part question.
So what is the dream podcastyou would love to be on and who
is the dream guest you wouldlove to interview?
So, this.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
The first part is
both of them.
They are a really difficultquestion because there are so
many good podcasts and so manyinteresting people to to
interview, right, um.
But I would say one of thepodcasts that I I love and I
really appreciate, um, hercontent is uh mistakes.
That made me from iman ismail.
(40:37):
I love how she's uh, first ofall, the podcast, the structure,
how she does these naturalintros and all that.
I love that from the nerdypodcaster perspective.
And then again theconversations how it flows, the
conversation, all of that.
I love that.
So it will be super interestingto be in the other side of the
(41:01):
podcast and then someone to havean interview.
I would love to have aconversation with Malala.
She's from Pakistan.
She's an activist of educationrights, especially for girls and
women.
So I really appreciate her andher story and part of what she
(41:24):
suffered an attack because ofher sharing her story.
So I feel that she now turningback that and sharing her story
her main thing and helpingothers to raise their voices.
I love the inspiration that sheis for the world.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I mean, those are
both incredible.
Incredible for a dream podcastto be on and a dream guest.
I think those are.
Those are really fantastic.
Okay, my last question is doyou consider yourself a
perfectionist?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I would say that I
was more a perfectionist and now
I am embracing experimenting asa way to avoid that and try to
get progress over perfection andall that.
But all these thoughts was liketoo high level and I didn't get
.
And then until someone said,yeah, I'm trying to play more
and experiment.
It's like that approach canwork for my brain.
Didn't get.
And then until someone said,yeah, I'm trying to play more
and experiment is like thatapproach can work for my brain.
So I keep it.
And yeah, when you are lookingat things as an experiment, you
(42:33):
are allowed to fail.
You are allowed to justlearning from the things.
That doesn't go as you expected.
So that has helped me a lot.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, and I think
that it's just, it's so much
more fun.
Think about like experimentingand think about like a little
kid and you're giving them likesome Play-Doh or slime or
something and you're just likehave fun, make a mess, Like that
just sounds so much more funthan like like here you only get
these blocks and they have tobe perfect.
(43:04):
You have to stack them this way, Like.
That stresses me out justthinking about it.
So I love your approach to likeman, it's just it's fun to
experiment.
So I'm excited that you'veadopted that approach because I
think it's just more fun ingeneral.
But, Remy, this was so funtoday and I'm so grateful that
