Podcasting Journey

Patrick Akil and Lindsay Faller share their experiences with podcasting, highlighting the initial challenges and the learning curve involved. Lindsay, who is relatively new to podcasting, finds comfort in conversational formats rather than self-promotion, emphasizing the importance of dialogue over monologue. Patrick enjoys engaging with his audience through Q&A sessions, which he finds both fun and insightful.

I'm so tired of seeing on Instagram people's faces just telling you what they think. So I just think the dialogue with somebody is much more interesting.

This approach allows them to focus on the essence of their work rather than personal branding 1.

   

Communication & Growth

Effective communication is crucial in both personal and professional settings, as Lindsay Faller emphasizes the need to prioritize important tasks over urgent ones. She notes that the constant shifting of goalposts can lead to burnout if not managed properly. Patrick and Lindsay discuss how comparison with others can be detrimental, as it often overlooks the hard work behind success stories.

That whole thing about comparison is a thief of joy is like a real thing.

--- Lindsay Faller

They suggest reframing stagnation as a necessary pause for reflection and growth, rather than a failure 2 3.
