Have you considered starting a podcast, but maybe you doubt yourself, your wheels are spinning, and you're not sure where to start? One of the biggest things I discovered in working with entrepreneurs and building a media agency is that the most outstanding people often hinder themselves from delivering their message to the world. 

You know you have the authority and expertise in your field. And when you're super passionate about something, why not share it because there are more opportunities to be found?

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ People hold back from getting themselves out there because "it's too technical." Do you believe you still can't launch your show because you're not tech-savvy enough? Let me tell you right away: that's OK. There are different programs and apps to help you, and we can walk you through that, too, because once you get that camera or podcasting confidence, you can really step into it. And once you record that first video, it's so much easier. 

✔️People feel they need extra equipment, software or tools. Should I use Zoom? Should I use Riverside? Do I use a Logitech webcam? Do I use a Canon vlogging camera? Do I use a DSLR? Do I need a professional mic? There's so much vast information across the internet that tells you to have MORE than what you actually need and prevents you from getting started. People like myself are there to help people like you figure out those tools to get that set up, so you feel comfortable before you push the record button. 

✔️ People fear not knowing how to distribute their podcasts. So many hosting providers can do that for you. The cool thing about the platform we use is the opportunity to utilize multiple podcasts back in the back end without logging into multiple accounts. Having a team or outsourcing it to the experts to help you relieve so much stress in the long run. 

✔️ People don't know what to talk about. You might already have a great name idea and want to cater to an audience, but now what? What are your content ideas? Specifying down on your niche and what you're truly passionate about and focusing on content that's being more searched than the content that's being less searched will guide you to go out there confidently.

✔️ People feeling the imposter syndrome. If you feel not good enough, don't speak well enough or look good enough on camera -- we all go through it. You will overcome, and when you release that first episode and get support behind it, whether it's one or one million downloads, you know you're truly reaching somebody. And that's where you have to start. You have to start with inspiring people, stepping out of your comfort zone, and getting a little out of that imposter syndrome. 

Remember, the more you share from the heart and impart your passion, purpose, and expertise, the more people will flock to you and your channel.
