About this listen
What happens when you're too afraid to start a podcast… so you start something that isn't one?
NOT Episode ONE is where it all begins — recorded at 3:30am in a Santa Fe hotel room, the night before a coaching intensive with mentor Rich Litvin, on a travel espresso machine and zero sleep. No agenda. No topics. No rules.
Just one creator deciding that "not good enough" is no longer a good enough reason to stay quiet.
This is an experiment. A passion project. A rebellion against perfectionism dressed up as a podcast — except it's not. It's whatever it wants to be. And that's exactly the point.
In this not-episode:
- Why calling it "NOT a podcast" is the only way it could exist
- The fear of failure that almost kept this from happening
- What it means to create something selfishly — for yourself first
- Why 3:30am in Santa Fe with an espresso machine is the perfect origin story
Five minutes. No rules. Just pure authenticity. Welcome to what is definitely NOT a podcast.
