Join us as we explore the different phases of podcasting, from the initial learning process to achieving a flow state as a podcaster. Discover how to navigate the journey from hypervigilance to unconscious competence, and the importance of embracing the growth and learning opportunities along the way.Key Points• Podcasting is a continuous learning process with phases of learning, hyper vigilance, and flow state.• Internalizing strategic elements and tactical approaches leads to a seamless and effortless podcasting experience.• Just like learning how to drive, podcasting eventually leads to unconscious competence.• Phases of hyper vigilance can arise when unexpected data or events occur, but they contribute to refining your craft.• Don't be too critical of yourself and let go of perfectionism to allow the creative process to flow.• Embrace the number of exposures and iterations, focusing on continuous improvement as a podcaster.• The education process itself is a valuable goal and objective, so start podcasting without concerns for long-term goals initially.Best Quotes00:38 - 00:47 "The learning you're going to go through, it will feel on some days like I need to be more organic and just be me." 01:04 - 01:15 "When you get to a point where you are able to internalize the strategic elements of creating a podcast, it'll seem like a flow state." 02:26 - 02:33 "Eventually you get to this, what they call unconscious competence, where you don't even think about it.
