How It Started: The Story Behind Bytes, Bits & Brilliance
What sparked the idea for this podcast? What hurdles did I face? And how did I go from “I should do this” to launching Bytes, Bits & Brilliance?
In this special solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes and sharing the real, raw journey of how this show came to life. From mentor conversations that planted the first seed, to doubts, analysis paralysis, and finally, ACTION!
I’m reflecting on what it takes to bring an idea into the world, imperfectly and courageously.
You’ll hear:
- The origin story of the podcast
- What almost stopped me from starting
- How I figured out the format and name
- The heart and mission behind Season 2
This is for anyone who's been sitting on a dream, wondering if you’re “ready” or “qualified” to start. (Spoiler: you are.)
