What a day to celebrate as a podcast host with hundreds of interview episodes under my belt, and after helping countless clients launch their own interview podcasts.
โ
๐ It's crazy to think that just a few years ago, in September 2020, I had the idea to start an interview podcast. But I had so many questions and doubts that I didnโt take the leap right away.
โ
๐๐ป Then, in June 2021, someone approached me to host them on my profile (which, at the time, wasnโt even a podcast yet!). At the same time, my mentor, who was launching his podcast coaching program, invited me to be his first student. It felt like the universe was calling me to start.
โ
I was nervous, full of questions, and overthinking everything, but I had hope that one day, I would make something big out of it.
โ
I started off shy, awkward, and made plenty of mistakes along the way. It wasnโt easyโthere were challenges and hard times.
โ
But here I am todayโwith a podcast family, thousands of listeners, and hundreds of amazing conversations with incredible entrepreneurs.
โ
Whether itโs a millionaire, billionaire, CEO, founder, or international best-selling author, the conversations have changed lives.
โ
And I hope, in some way, Iโve been able to make an impact on yours too, because thatโs been my goal since day one. ๐

โ
Itโs like having deep, meaningful conversations with some of the smartest and most inspiring minds, who share their wisdom and stories to help make a difference.
โ
You get to learn from the best, laugh with amazing people, and sometimes, just reflect on your own thoughts.
โ
Iโve learned SO much.

โ
๐ Itโs NOT about following a script word for word. โ
โ
โ
The best moments happen when you go off-script and let the conversation flow. Itโs real, unfiltered, and where the magic really happens.
โ
๐ Itโs NOT instant success. โ
โ
โ
Starting a podcast doesnโt mean youโll blow up overnight. Itโs a journey. You build it, episode by episode, one conversation at a time.
โ
๐ Itโs NOT just chatting with anyone. โ
โ
โ
Finding the right guests who fit your showโs vibe is harder than it looks. It takes research, coordination, and sometimes a lot of chasing.
โ

โ
๐Itโs personal, raw, and impactful. โ
โ
โ
You might think youโre just recording a show, but you end up having conversations that shift your perspective. Every guest leaves something behind, and you carry it forward.
โ
๐It connects you with people youโve never met. โ
โ
โ
Every listener becomes part of the journey, and thatโs one of the most rewarding parts.
โ
๐It makes you grow. โ
โ
โ
Not just as a better talker, but as a better listener and learner. Each episode challenges you to reflect, grow, and sometimes laugh at yourself.
โ
๐You learn to embrace imperfections. โ
โ
โ
Some episodes are messy, but you keep going. You laugh at the mistakes and awkward moments and keep showing up. Thatโs what being a podcaster is all about. ๐
โ
So, if youโre sitting there wondering, โCan I start a podcast?โ...
โ
The answer is: YES. You. Can. Your stories, your ideas, your experiencesโthey all matter. ๐
