Let's get you unstuck Reader, There’s a moment in any project—whether it’s building a deck, a podcast, or a new business—where you convince yourself: “I just need to plan a little more.” I know that move. It feels productive. It’s safe. It gives you the illusion of control. But here’s what I saw this past weekend while building with my father-in-law: We didn’t keep sketching or analyzing. We started digging holes. We cut the boards. We got our hands dirty. And guess what? That’s when the real clarity showed up. For someone like me who is always in my head, it was a refreshing change of pace. Most people never make it out of the planning phase because they’re scared of step one. Not because they lack information—but because they’re afraid of making the wrong move. Let me say this clearly: Planning isn’t progress. Execution is. If you’ve been planning your next move forever—your message, your platform, your content, your something— This is your permission slip to start. Not perfectly. Not with all the answers.

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...
