I let a guest hijack my episode, and learned this valuable lesson
|
Wednesday, I shared the story of a recent inspiring guest on my show. There was an another episode early in my Podcast Junkies journey that also still sticks with me—and not in a good way. The guest came in hot. Confident. Charismatic. And from the jump, they dominated the conversation. I barely got a word in. I kept thinking, “Okay, maybe I’ll jump in after this next point…” but that point never came. When I played the recording back, I cringed. Not because the guest was bad—honestly, they were great—but because I had disappeared. That episode taught me a hard but powerful lesson: Being a good host doesn’t mean fading into the background. It means holding the space. This is what remind students and clients to always be on the look out for—losing your voice in someone else’s story. So if you’ve ever walked away from an interview wondering where you went… I see you. That was the episode that made me step into my authority as a host. Hit reply—I’d love to hear it. —Harry 'I'm The Captain Now' Duran |

It’s also where most creators get stuck. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to hustle harder to solve...

Let’s talk about the real reason your podcast (or podcast plan) isn’t getting the traction you want. It’s not the algorithm.It’s not your mic.It’s not even the competition. It’s that you’re still hiding. You’re holding back. You’re tiptoeing around your real message, diluting your voice with disclaimers and playing it safe with your message—hoping people will just find you. I get it. I used to do the same. But here’s the truth: you cannot build authority if you’re still waiting for...
