Getting Your Mind Right About Becoming A Podcasting Professional [Episode 202]


Listen Later

Getting your mindset right and making a commitment to move from hobbyist podcaster to podcasting professional is key, but only after you:

  • understand that turning you into a pro is different than having a pro podcast

  • level-up the skills and abilities you already have

  • surround yourself with and collaborate with people who can get you closer to your goal of going pro.

No, none of these are easy. But the mindset is probably the hardest part. So I’ll wrap this four-part miniseries with two messages:

  1. There's a very good chance that you will not succeed. Yes, that’s a Bummer. But it’s reality. No matter how much effort and energy you put into becoming a professional in the world of podcasting… it just may not work. 
  2. Success might look completely different than what you're thinking about right now. So keep your mind open and increase your luck surface area.

There’s never been a better time to make the decision to turn pro. I’m rooting for you!

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:
1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.
We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
