The biggest challenge of mine was letting go of perfectionism when editing so I could get my episodes edited in a healthy amount of time.
This left me feeling extremely frustrated.
Now I’m working with Niall at Seven Million Bikes Podcasts I don’t have to worry about the editing process anymore and it’s bought me back time to use on other things I enjoy and am better at.
My podcast now gets released on schedule every other week.
Get off the bloody fence if you’re considering working with Niall, it’s much more comfortable on the other side of it. Get rid of those spikes in your bum and start having fun!
It’s not just helping yourself, Niall is also just a really great person to work with. He makes the process of working together fun and relaxed.
