This week on Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Tim Jahn of We're Only Human.

We're Only Human is a podcast celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit, through conversations with people from all walks of life.

Topics up for discussion this week include:

• how his early video show inspired the podcast
• the challenges he's found switching formats from video to audio
• why going all in on the quality of the podcast is key
• why starting a podcast for the wrong reasons is doomed to fail
• why getting divorced completely changed his way of life
• how he feels he gets more out of the podcast than his listeners
• how recording his show always brought him out of any doldrums he was experiencing
• why curiosity drives the best experiences
• the single characteristic that defines resilience
• why we need to remind ourselves that we're all making this up as we go along
• how one specific conversation about life being a series of train journeys blew him away
• how we can define our own lives
• what his goals are for the show moving forward
• what the unique value is that Tim can provide his listeners
• why his advice to new podcasters is to understand the motivation of why they're starting
• why your podcast needs an elevator pitch
• why we need to forego imposter syndrome
• why his heroes are everyone he's chatted to

Settle back for an open and free-flowing chat about life changes and recognizing our inner value.
