My podcast nightmare
Maybe you can relate … and learn from my mistake!
This is kind of an embarrassing story.
Six or seven months ago, I was invited to be a guest on a podcast to talk about blogging. I created a card deck around blogging, and a group coaching and training program on the same subject.
You should know right off the bat that I’m SUPER self-conscious when it comes to speaking. I explained to the host that I tend to freeze — after all, I’m a writer, not a speaker — and asked if she wanted me to provide interview questions, or if she could provide questions in advance to me.
“Nah, I like to just let the conversation flow,” she said. “Don’t worry about it; you’ll do great.”
Oookaaaay, I thought, hoping she was right.
After all, we’d be speaking about blogging.
I KNOW blogging! For crying out loud!
I created a card deck and a course on the subject!
She was right. I’d be fine.
The day of the interview arrived.
