QUOTES
“A podcast is not just you picking up your phone and recording something on Zoom and taking that raw crappy file from Zoom and just uploading it to the internet. That is not a podcast. A podcast is an audio file by definition, an audio file that's uploaded to the internet to be consumed auditorily.”“There's a lot of things we can figure out on our own, but there's also a lot of things that we can get off our plate and make just that much easier. So number one reason you don't want to start a podcast on your own, is it's a complete time suck.”“And that's the problem. If you're not putting something that's of quality out to the world, why even do it in the first place?”==========================

In episode twenty-six of Podcasts Suck, Sebastian Rusk delves into the topic of imposter syndrome in the realm of podcasting. He debunks the concept of imposter syndrome and shares insights on why some individuals may feel hesitant to start a podcast due to this perceived notion.
TIMESTAMPS
[00:01:12] Imposter Syndrome.
[00:05:16] Imposter Syndrome and Fear.
[00:08:06] Fear Isn't Even Real.
In this episode, Sebastian Rusk discusses that imposter syndrome is not a genuine phenomenon but rather a manifestation of fear. It is commonly used to depict feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt when individuals compare themselves to others they perceive as more skilled or successful.
Therefore, Sebastian suggests that taking massive action is the key to overcoming imposter syndrome and fear. By pushing through fears and doubts and actually pursuing our desires, we can prove to ourselves that imposter syndrome is not real and that fear is merely false evidence appearing real. He also urges listeners to refrain from using the term imposter syndrome and to remember that someone is missing out on their unique contributions if they allow fear to hinder them.
QUOTES
"Imposter syndrome doesn't even exist. What imposter syndrome is, is a dressed up fancy word for fear."“We need to make a decision to step out of fear and walked directly in the direction that we know we should be going.”"Remind yourself of the reality, but also remind yourself who you are. And remember, When you're not getting it out there and creating something great and you're not bringing it out to the world, someone is missing out."==========================
