Perfectionists are procrastinators in hiding

Let’s clear something up— You don’t build trust by being perfect. You build it by being real. In a world of filters, scripts, and highlight reels, the one thing your audience is craving… is you. The real you. Not the overly polished version. Not the one who sounds like ChatGPT on steroids. Just the one who tells the truth, even if their voice shakes a little. Because here’s what I’ve seen again and again (and lived through myself): The moment you stop performing and start showing up—stumbles, quirks, messy drafts and all—is the moment people lean in and say, “Wait, I trust this person.” That’s the root of Sovereignty, the final pillar of my S.T.A.R.S. framework. It’s not about mastering the mic—it’s about mastering the courage to show up as you. And that, my friend, is an unfair advantage most people overlook. If you’re still trying to “get it perfect” before hitting record, publishing, or sharing your work… this is your invitation to stop waiting. Your story’s already powerful. Your voice is already enough. No polish required. —Harry 'Unpolished' Duran P.S. When you're tired of waiting for 'perfect' and ready to be 'real', let me help: |

But what if the act of speaking it out loud—unpolished, uncertain, real—is what makes it ready? If your voice shakes, let it. If your message...
Let's get straight to the point Reader, You’re not waiting for the right audience to show up. They’re waiting for you to show up. I know the struggle—wanting everything to be perfect before you press “record.” The gear, the script, the flawless launch. But here's the truth: Your audience needs your voice, not your perfection. You don’t need to be perfect to get started. You don’t need a flawless launch or a polished show. What matters is that you show up as your true self, with all your...
Can you relate Reader? There’s a quiet kind of shame that shows up when we think we’ve “missed the window.” Too late to start the podcast. Too late to tell the story. Too late to matter. But here’s the truth I’ve learned, again and again, both in life and in coaching: The moment you decide to begin is always the perfect time. When I started Podcast Junkies in 2014, I thought I was late to the podcast party. Turns out it was one of the best decision I've ever made! Again, the moment you decide...
