My Second Podcast Appearance Ever
About a week ago I participated in my second ever podcast experience. Super excited to chat with Cooper and Caleb and glad they had me on. You can check it out here:
Anyway, It's kind of a surreal experience looking back at it now. In the moment, I felt very relaxed and like I was just talking to a couple of guys back in highschool in a discord call just chatting about life and things. But now that I'm sitting here listening back on it, it's kind of like 'Wow, I really did it. I was on these guys' show... And do I really sound like that?'
There was so much more I wish I had said that I didn't include for fear of going off into too many tangents and a few things I wish I could correct or explain further in my statements, but overall I kind of feel like each time I get an exposure to public speaking that I am getting a little bit off my chest that I've been holding back for years little by little. I feel like slowly but surely, I'm reaching the true potential that I feel that I had been surpressing all of this time. If I had to explain how I felt mentally up until now, this is what I would describe it as:
Picture me flipping houses for the past 6 years. I would find a deal and diligently pester and hound my contractor on the project until completion and then move onto the next one. Many times in the beginning, I would be over budget and either barely profitable, breakeven or even at a major loss. Each project was a new rollercoaster of emotions. I would attend networking events, but I wouldn't actively engage - I felt like part of the background. The other investors that I did manage to build some contact with all seemed to progress at a much quicker pace than I did and countless times I would wonder what their secret for success is.
Looking back, they probably put a lot more effort in than I gave them credit for. They probably attended more events than me, networked and socialized more than me, and as a result had more opportunities than me. So, take it from someone who also wants to find success but wasn't sure how to at first. If you feel unsure or too shy to do something, JUST DO IT.
And there wasn't going to be a lesson in this post at first, but as I sit here writing this I'll impart another lesson from an investor that wish he had someone to push him to do this sooner;
