In this episode, host Dylan Schmidt talks about some of the common struggles that podcasters face, including imposter syndrome, not always knowing who is listening, having guests on the show who might not be fully qualified to speak on a topic, feeling discouraged when there is a lack of engagement with the content, and disliking the sound of their own voice.   

These feelings are normal and can be overcome with time and experience. The episode also touches on the importance of staying true to oneself and one's message, even when faced with these challenges.   

In this episode of Digital Podcaster, host Dylan Schmidt interviews Jason Belisha on the topic of on-screen authority, camera confidence, and the importance of video quality. Jason shares his insights on how to bridge the gap between one's in-person and on-camera persona, and the importance of finding a sense of Zen when presenting on camera. They also discuss the relationship between video quality and perceived value, and the impact it can have on a business or brand.   

Key takeaways:   

• Practice and reps can help you feel more comfortable talking to a camera as if it's a person.   
• To improve your on-camera presence, try treating the camera like a mirror and speaking to it as if you're talking to yourself.   
• Good video quality can contribute to the perception of a business as professional and well-organized.   
• To enhance your video quality, invest in good equipment and a solid workflow.
