Expect raw takes on rejection, imposter syndrome, self-funding creative ventures, and calling BS on outdated industry gatekeeping. Whether you’re plotting your next big leap or just need a reminder to back yourself unapologetically, this one’s packed with fire, humour, and heart.Jump to a Chapter: 00:00 Intro00:21 Meet AB - The Ultimate Personality Hire01:52 Early Career Moves & Backing Yourself03:10 The Grimy Radio Days04:40 Imposter Syndrome & Confidence in Media06:03 Unfairness in the Industry07:08 Criticism, Comparison & Career Trajectories08:03 Radio Setbacks & Low Points09:41 Support Systems & Recovery11:02 Women Supporting Women in Media12:07 Career Highlights & Sports Broadcasting13:00 The Role of a Personality Hire14:27 Personality vs Hard Skills Debate15:46 Resentment Towards Personality Hires17:22 Getting to the Top on Your Own Terms18:47 Content Creation & Monetisation Challenges20:10 Influence, Downloads & Authenticity21:00 Fear, Imposter Syndrome & Self-Investment23:08 The Reality of Radio Stardom24:27 Identity Shifts After Motherhood25:27 Rapid Fire Round28:00 Workplace Smells & Email Etiquette29:00 Dramatic Exit or Classy Goodbye?29:34 Closing Shoutouts🎧 Stay up to date with new episodes:IG | https://www.instagram.com/personalitypodcast/?hl=esThis podcast was brought to you by On Track Studio. www.ontrackstudio.com.au [email protected]
