Danny: Imposter syndrome is something a lot of podcasters deal with.
Danny: That feeling that you're not experienced enough, or that other people know more
Danny: than you, or that you shouldn't really be the one talking about this.
Danny: And it can hold you back. You might second-guess your ideas,
Danny: delay publishing, or avoid certain topics altogether.
Danny: The thing is, it doesn't really go away. Even experienced creators still feel
Danny: it. They've just learned not to let it stop them.
Danny: So instead of trying to get rid of it, it can help to reframe it.
Danny: Because feeling like this usually means you care about what you're putting out
Danny: and that's not a bad thing.
Danny: A more practical way to approach it is this.
Danny: Focus on being helpful, not authoritative. You don't need to be an expert in
Danny: everything. You just need to share what you know or what you're learning.
Danny: For example, instead of thinking who am I to talk about this,
Danny: you can shift it to this is what I've tried and here's what's worked for me.
Danny: That's still valuable and it's often more relatable because podcasting isn't
Danny: about having all the answers. It's about sharing useful ones.
Danny: So if imposter syndrome does show up, that's fine. Just don't let it decide
Danny: whether you hit publish.
Danny: Until the next time, happy podcasting.
