Just Start: Burn the First Pancake and Launch Your Podcast Anyway
Ready to launch your podcast but don't know where to start? Over the past few weeks, I've been hearing a familiar refrain from listeners: "This is great, but can you take a few steps back? I don't even know where to start."
So that's exactly what we're doing. This episode kicks off a mini-series designed to help you move from stuck to started—without overthinking it to death. No complicated tech. No five-step funnels. No performative perfection. Just the raw, honest truth about what it really takes to launch.
In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on:
- The real reason most people don't start (and it's not their microphone)
- Why perfectionism is the biggest threat to your podcast dream
- The pancake metaphor that might just change the way you see failure
- What to say in your first five-minute recording
- A powerful mindset shift that separates successful podcasters from the silent majority
- A sneak peek at the Fearless Podcast Script Builder
- And what's coming up next in this beginner-friendly series
If you've been circling your podcast idea like it's a high dive and you're not sure when to jump, this is your sign. The world doesn't need another perfect podcast. It needs your real one.
