We all face fear. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t even matter how successful you’ve been in your career. The Imposter Syndrome or the Fraud Factor or whatever you want to call that little voice that tells us we aren’t good enough or smart enough … it comes knocking for us all and keeps us from taking that next step forward.

Why does this happen? My guest Adam Urbanski says it’s all about self-confidence. There are so many people out there with the skills to reach the next level, but they just don’t have the confidence to put themselves in new situations.

But Adam has a great strategy for fixing that. Whenever he isn’t feeling confident, he uses a psychological trick he calls outing himself.

“The minute you out your fear, you disempower it. It’s gone.”

I think that’s just brilliant for a number of reasons.

#1: The Imposter Syndrome likes to tell you that things are scarier than they actually are. It wants to keep your fears inside you. When you vocalize your fears … when you hear yourself say them out loud … you start to hear how silly they are.

#2: When you open yourself up like that, you build a lot of trust with the person you’ve just shared your fears with. They see you as the authentic person you are, and that goes a long way for building a relationship that will help you take down the fears you’re facing.

Learn more about this trick in our episode.

That was one of the nuggets from my conversation with Adam Urbanski that stood out the most to me. Please let me know which stood out the most to you.

Thank you for listening today! I appreciate your time so very much.

I’m so grateful that you’ve joined me here today. I’m Kelly Hatfield, and as always, my goal is that you’ll walk away from this episode with one strategy, idea, or insight that inspires you to take action in your professional and personal life.

I know you’re going to get that from Jeremy Ryan Slate. Jeremy and I talked about how being a guest on podcasts can really pay off.

Let’s face it: being a regular guest on podcasts is a major time commitment, and as business leaders, we don’t have the time to waste on things that aren’t going to add value to the bottom line.

But podcasts give you access to people’s lives in ways that you’d never have before. Because people listen to podcasts when they’re driving, working out at the gym, etc, they don’t have to be sitting down at their computer in order to find you.

Not only that, but when you make a guest appearance on a podcast, you get access to the host’s built-in audience.

So then, as business owners, we have to ask…if being on someone’s podcast gives us access to more people, how do we monetize being a guest so that it grows our businesses?

Jeremy has a great strategy for that. His business is built around helping entrepreneurs monetize their podcast appearances by creating value and building relationships.

In the episode, you’ll learn how to offer listeners of podcasts value both in your interview and long after it’s complete through strategies like building a value-adding email sequence.

He’s even offering you a checklist for how to be a great guest — absolutely free! Click here to download it.

Being a guest on podcasts is one of many ways to market your business, and Jeremy’s strategy is a great reminder that it’s foolish to go into any of them without a solid plan.

How you are going to add value has to be top of mind in any marketing strategy, and once you’ve added value, you will be able to convert those people into customers.

Thank you for listening today! I appreciate your time so very much.
