Is Fear Holding You Back?

Fear often resides within creativity, impacting how we approach our work and objectives. Today, the community is addressing two common challenges that many creators face: the fear of failure and, surprisingly, the fear of success. We share practical strategies to overcome these mental barriers and discuss setting realistic goals, managing perfectionism, and measuring progress in meaningful ways. And before we get to that, we address whether or not we use 'guest intake' forms and if so, how? Episode Highlights: [3:46] Icebreaker question: Do you use an onboarding form with your podcast?
