  • 4. The Fear of Being Seen and Imperfect Action

    A fumbly first solo episode diving into tackling the fear of being seen, starting a content journey, and how the only way through is to climb cringe mountain and post the imperfect messy stuff.


    Looking forward to more solo's together as I figure out how to get into flow state alone 🫔 Yes this was 35 minutes of filming cut down to 6.5 after 4+ hours of editing and I made myself publish it to follow my own advice. Build a body of work not a one hit wonder. WE LEARNING TOGETHER GUYS.


    TL; DR:

    • Self-expression should be prioritized over the label of 'content creator'
    • Messy action. Period.
