Yesterday I sat down for a two hour recorded interview at GunnerCooke media studio in Manchester, answering questions about property sourcing on camera. The first few minutes were rough. I’d never done anything like it and it showed. Months ago I’d have found a reason to push it back or talk myself out of it altogether. This time I just sat with the nerves and let them pass. By the end I’d stopped noticing the camera. It just became a conversation. I don’t take the opportunity lightly. It only happened because of a connection I made through LinkedIn, So Yung, someone I’d never have crossed paths with if I hadn’t kept showing up and posting consistently, even on the days it felt pointless. Off the back of it I’ve built strong connections with two lawyers I wouldn’t have met any other way. That’s the part people skip when they talk about content: the payoff isn’t the post itself, it’s who reads it and what it leads to months later. Everything you’ve told me has held up. To get where I want to be I have to put myself out there, on camera, in front of people, whether it’s comfortable or not. I wouldn’t be at this point without your continuous support, @Paul Rose. Small thing on paper, sitting in a chair answering questions for two hours. Squarely bigger than it looks, and it wouldn’t have happened without the push to keep showing up.
