I've been getting updates from my podcast publisher Buzzsprout that people are listening and holy hell -- that means I'm panicking (of course!). So interesting to watch my brain think I better step up and make this thing good, rather than thinking I must be doing something right.

I talk about my deep fear of offending people, and how I want to control at all times how I'm perceived. Which, of course, is anathema to being an artist.

If the goal is to be engaging, to generate strong reactions in others, to spark conversation and connection, then how do I get out of my own way?

If you have answers, I'm all ears.
Come chat me up on Instagram @SamGarlandNYC.
