🌴 0. The start of something daunting

In this first-ever episode, I’m walking along the Gold Coast, soaking in the waves and sunshine, and hitting record to share a raw, unfiltered idea that’s both thrilling and daunting: a daily podcast.Here’s what’s in this episode:The question that sparked this daily podcast journey: "What’s your thing for 2025?"Why “Let’s take this outside” is more than a tagline—it’s a mindset.The challenge of committing to podcasting five days a week (and resisting the urge to negotiate with myself).How this podcast will be scrappy, unscripted, and free of overthinking (and editing).Inspiration from Jenny Blake’s daily podcast streak and how simplicity makes it work.My next steps: figuring out the tech (Hello Audio, I’m looking at you!) to make this as frictionless as possible.This podcast is all about sharing what’s on my mind in real-time—raw thoughts, behind-the-scenes moments, and a peek into life and work outside the box. No fancy production, just genuine connection.I’d love to hear what you think!
