Something I hear a lot is a fear that you’re not tech savvy enough to be a podcaster. You’re already too busy to add more to your plate.

Well, this episode breaks down the exact strategy I teach for easeful recording and editing so that you can create and grow your podcast without the overwhelm.  

I share how I released weekly episodes of the Get A Helmet Podcast for a year and a half straight with no additional support while making my first ever short film. 

If I can do it, you can do it too! 

A few topics we dive into: 

• How powerful it is to allow yourself to do things imperfectly

• The exercise I use to never run out of podcast episode ideas

• How to streamline your recording and editing process 

• Why you don’t need to be tech savvy to be a podcaster
