What’s scarier? Being seen, or staying silent?

It's time for a real conversation Reader, If you’ve been circling the idea of starting your podcast—or maybe you started and stalled—it’s tempting to blame the usual suspects: “I don’t have the right mic.” OR “I need more time." OR “I should take another course first.” I'm calling BS. Those aren’t the real reasons. Here’s what I’ve learned after launching over 130 shows and hosting 500+ interviews: It’s not the tech. It’s not the gear. It’s not even the time. What’s really holding you back is the fear of being seen. The fear that your voice might not be “good enough.” That no one will care what you have to say. That if you do put yourself out there… people might hear it. And that’s vulnerable. It’s also the entire point. Because here’s the truth most podcast “experts” won’t tell you: The most powerful thing about your voice is that it’s yours. Not the polish. Not the perfect edits. Just the honest, human experience behind the mic. If you’ve been stuck, ask yourself this: What’s scarier—being seen, or staying silent? Harry 'Hand Holder' Duran P.S.

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...
