Show Notes:
What if the thing standing between you and greater visibility isn't a lack of expertise, but a lack of confidence?
In this episode of Behind the Scene with Teah, I sit down with podcast producer and strategist Hayleigh Hayhurst, founder of Espresso Podcast Production, to talk about how podcasting can help women entrepreneurs build authority, expand their reach, and create meaningful connections long before they feel "ready."
Hayleigh shares her journey from journalism student to podcast producer, the lessons she's learned from working with hundreds of podcasters, and why waiting for confidence before taking action often keeps women stuck longer than necessary.
Whether you've been considering starting a podcast or you're looking for new ways to increase your visibility, this conversation is packed with practical advice and encouragement to help you take the next step.

"Your 50th episode is going to be better than your first episode, but you can't get there unless you start with episode one."
"You can't get better by thinking about it. You get better by doing it."
