440 | Starting The Podcasting Journey

In this episode, I want to share some behind the scenes of what it looked like in the beginning of starting the podcasting journey. My journey started 5 years ago but actually started with FB lives 7-8 years ago. It all started with a gut pull, and instinct to start and letting it be messy. This is part 1 and the next episode will share what I have learned to date since starting this journey over 5 years ago, and recording over 550 episodes between 2 shows. In this episode we discuss: 1) Following the gut pull even when they don't make sense. Not everyone is going to see, understand or believe in your vision and that's ok, it's not a conference call. 2) Your podcast is an extension of your brand, so figure out who you are, what your lessons are, what you could literally stand up and talk about with no notes and go from there. Don't get caught up in the details. Yes there's details and there's also tons of people who have gone before you to learn those details. 3) Stopping and starting, getting in your head and overthinking the pieces of podcasting are normal. If you want to do it, do it. Be willing to promote your work, share the episodes, ask for the reviews, the support, and be consistent. Your podcast is an extension of you and your brand, let it be exactly what it is meant to be. 4) The journey, the downloads, the wins, intention, challenges and beautiful lessons of building a podcast over the past 5 years.
