Between The Lines

Stop planning, start the podcast

Jessica Yolanda Kaye

A few weeks ago, I took my brother for breakfast and traded coffee and eggs for advice. I told him everything—my podcast vision, the name, the look and feel. I talked for 40 minutes. And then I asked him for a strategy.

Then he looked at me and said:

"You love the planning. The mood boarding, the strategy, the world-building. But while you’re doing all that, you’re not making the podcast. Stop planning. Start the podcast."

Annoying, because he was right.

I thought I was moving forward, but really, I was hiding behind the planning.

So what does it take to actually do the work? To stop circling the idea and step into it fully?

That’s what I explore in this week’s podcast—through the wisdom of Liz Gilbert, Nick Cave, Lucian Freud, Steven Pressfield, Rick Rubin, and my brother.

Would love to hear what resonates.
