Welcome back to The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, particularly the Power of Podcasting Series! In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest hurdles for new (and even seasoned) podcasters: the fear of sucking at it. I'm sharing all of the reasons on why you have to be willing to be “bad” at first—and how embracing imperfection is the fastest route to growth, confidence, and authentic storytelling. I'm even doing it in real time!

Whether you’re thinking about launching your first show, struggling to stay consistent, or questioning your impact, this episode is a powerful reminder that your voice matters—and no one can tell your story the way you can. Plus, we explore the importance of practice, the unexpected challenges of being on camera, how to overcome that fear, and why you should continue telling your story, even if there are hundreds of YouTubers telling it.

-The biggest fear new podcasters face: fear of starting and not knowing what to say.

-The concept of “you have to suck at it first” as a pathway to growth.

-The importance of practicing and showing up consistently to improve.

3:15 Why being on camera feels harder than other speaking experiences.

6:15 Fear is temporary: push through and hit record.

7:20 Why you should be the one telling your story.

“Fear is just a temporary emotion—you can get over it in 17 seconds. You just have to live through it, hit record, and move on.”
