Podcasting is easy. I’ve done it before. I had a fairly successful (albeit short-lived) podcast around this time last year, and the experience was a ton of fun. But it ended, I moved on, and I didn’t start another one up (or contribute to any other podcast, either).
As with most things, the biggest hurdle was simply a lack of motivation. What should the podcast be about? Do I have enough authority on any subject to create an entire show based around it? What if people don’t like it? What if…?
And it carries on.
But most of these concerns – most of these What If’s – can be shot down with another hypothetical question: What if all those “What If’s” are wrong?
I’m trying to keep that last bit of self-advice in my head, trying to use it as a shield against doubting myself in general.
Perhaps others could get some use of it it, too? In a twisted sort of double-negative way, it’s about doubting yourself to the point of doubting your own doubts.
