3 lessons from 3 years of podcasting

Lessons from a Quitter

It’s been 3 years since I launched this podcast (WAHOOOOO!)

Hindsight is an interesting thing. It’s obvious now that I made the “right” choice to publish the podcast I had been thinking about for 2 years. I now have an amazing community and business I love.

But I remember the week before I hit publish...I couldn’t sleep. I cried every single day. I thought I was going to throw up.

These were the thoughts I had playing on loop:

• “This is insane.”
• “Everyone’s going to judge you.”
• “Who are you to put out a podcast?!”
• “You have no idea what you’re doing.”
• “Do you want to be branded a ‘quitter’ for the rest of your life?!”
• “You’re going to regret this.”

I was terrified.

I wanted to change my mind. I hadn’t published it yet. It wasn’t too late to scrap the whole crazy idea.

Well, I didn’t. And I’m so grateful to past me for feeling like I was going to die and hitting publish anyway.

It’s been an amazing 3 years and I can’t wait to see what the next 3 years brings.

Since we’re all about lessons over here, this week on the podcast I go into the 3 biggest lessons I’ve learned from 3 years in podcasting.
