3 lessons from 3 years of podcasting

Published: July 27, 2021, 10 a.m.

It\u2019s been 3 years since I launched this podcast (WAHOOOOO!)

Hindsight is an interesting thing. It\u2019s obvious now that I made the \u201cright\u201d choice to publish the podcast I had been thinking about for 2 years. I now have an amazing community and business I love.\xa0

But I remember the week before I hit publish...I couldn\u2019t sleep. I cried every single day. I thought I was going to throw up.\xa0

These were the thoughts I had playing on loop:

  • \u201cThis is insane.\u201d
  • \u201cEveryone\u2019s going to judge you.\u201d
  • \u201cWho are you to put out a podcast?!\u201d
  • \u201cYou have no idea what you\u2019re doing.\u201d
  • \u201cDo you want to be branded a \u2018quitter\u2019 for the rest of your life?!\u201d\xa0
  • \u201cYou\u2019re going to regret this.\u201d

I was terrified.

I wanted to change my mind. I hadn\u2019t published it yet. It wasn\u2019t too late to scrap the whole crazy idea.\xa0

Well, I didn\u2019t. And I\u2019m so grateful to past me for feeling like I was going to die and hitting publish anyway.\xa0

It\u2019s been an amazing 3 years and I can\u2019t wait to see what the next 3 years brings.\xa0

Since we\u2019re all about lessons over here, this week on the podcast I go into the 3 biggest lessons I\u2019ve learned from 3 years in podcasting.\xa0
