Show Notes
"Publishing is preferable to perfection." Podcasting involves a certain percentage of cringe. We often feel like we failed because the recorded output didn't match the perfect inner monologue we rehearsed in our heads.
However, your listener has no access to that inner monologue. They only hear what you published, and often, that is more than enough. Episodes that feel "clunky" or awkward to the creator can even perform better (because vulnerability). You must distinguish between quality control that helps you improve and perfectionism that stops you from shipping it out.
In this micro-episode:
- Why we judge our output against an impossible internal standard
- The ROI of "clunky" and imperfect stories
- How to stop your inner monologue from killing your consistency
