I'm starting a new podcast

Let's try building in public so I can maintain my enthusiasm for more than 3 minutes.

A few weeks ago, I teased the idea of launching a podcast called ‘Good Boss, Bad Boss’, and hundreds of people said they thought it was a great idea and would ‘definitely listen.’

I was amazed by the responses, and even more amazed that I actually received voice messages from people who aren’t my parents through SpeakPipe. (It was pretty cool hearing real people’s voices—people I’ve never met—sharing their stories and wanting to be a part of the podcast.)

So I went ahead and created the cover,

and shared it on International Women’s Day before I could talk myself out of it:

I even started putting the intro music together, which I’m too shy to share on Linkedin but if you’re reading this you deserve a sneak peek. (I haven’t bought the license to the music and I won’t be using that long of a bit from The Office to avoid getting sued by NBC, but I’m pretty happy with myself for the music choice—I almost don’t want to ruin it by speaking.)

Again, this is V1. Or V0.

The highlight of it all was definitely getting a response from Akshay, Co-founder of Notion, who did a youtube interview that inspired me to put myself out there and launch before I feel ready (I’ll never be.)

So this is where I am now.

I’m currently working on a list of potential guests (with warm leads and moonshots) and topics I’d like to talk about.

Oh, I’ve also asked ChatGPT for help and had so much fun but I think that deserves a post of its own. (Edit: here’s the post.)

This blogging reminds me of my Xanga days and it feels so good.

That’s it for now! Stay tuned if you’re interested in seeing me build this podcast (not sure why you would but what do I know, you’ve read up till here.)

If you’d like to get involved with the podcast, shoot me a message here on SpeakPipe or comment👇🏼.
