“One of my goals is to stop hiding and step into my own visibility. To say, I own this topic that I’ve been obsessed with for years, that I’m really good in. But I’ve never dared to step out and say, I own this. I know this. I’m good at it.”

Does that sound like something you’ve said or thought?

Stepping into her visibility was definitely not only one of edupreneur Neža Krek’s goals, but one that she made happen through the launch of her Fresh Forward podcast!

Tune in to this special episode on the Bosspod(cast) to go behind the scenes with Neža and me as we deconstruct her podcast launch.

Listen in on our convo about:

  • Finding the right balance between giving an idea time to ripen and sliding into procrastination mode
  • Letting go of preconceived ideas about what your podcast should look like to uncover what is actually right for you AND your dream listener
  • Differentiating between your dream listener and dream guests
  • Why she had to change her podcast name not once, but twice (and how to avoid that)
  • Approaching podcast creation as a learning process
  • Taking on board what helps and discarding what doesn’t ring true (aka how challenging me and adapting my advice is part of the process)
  • Why (just) teaching on your podcast is not a recipe for success
  • The importance of celebrating a launch and not getting stuck in “what’s next” mode
  • Leveraging her podcast as a non-icky marketing strategy for her business

Warning: This episode does contain a tiny bit of crude language, so you might want to put headphones on if you’re around little ones.
