TRANSCRIÇÃO 🔗
WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.151 --> 00:00:00.972
I have a confession.
2
00:00:02.332 --> 00:00:03.433
I forgot to hit record.
3
00:00:04.093 --> 00:00:12.018
A few minutes into this conversation, I had realized that the green button on my ROGECaster board was not supposed to be green.
4
00:00:12.758 --> 00:00:16.901
We all know it should be red for recording.
5
00:00:17.721 --> 00:00:23.488
So you're about to walk into this conversation mid-stride, no setup, no warm-up, just two people already in the thick of it.
6
00:00:23.688 --> 00:00:28.373
One of them is Dr. Angela Sturm, a friend and client of Speak Podcasting.
7
00:00:28.473 --> 00:00:32.858
She's been YouTubing since 2012, long before we ever started Speak.
8
00:00:33.459 --> 00:00:35.641
She was at first terrified of the camera.
9
00:00:35.661 --> 00:00:38.504
Medical school doesn't really teach you that.
10
00:00:38.944 --> 00:00:48.433
The other is Mavi Rodriguez, who built a plastic surgery podcast without being a plastic surgeon and turned that I'm not qualified voice into her superpower.
11
00:00:48.453 --> 00:00:54.138
And the question on the table is how do you put yourself out there when your brain is screaming?
12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:55.740
Who's going to listen to you?
13
00:01:01.422 --> 00:01:05.084
This episode of Your Mic is a bonus from Illuminate.
14
00:01:05.704 --> 00:01:06.565
Imperfect start.
15
00:01:07.245 --> 00:01:08.646
Fantastic conversation.
16
00:01:09.026 --> 00:01:09.506
Let's go.
17
00:01:10.607 --> 00:01:18.491
If you're here and you're thinking, I want to put myself out there, look in the mirror and talk to yourself and tell yourself you're worth it.
18
00:01:19.151 --> 00:01:20.832
You have something important to say.
19
00:01:21.352 --> 00:01:22.433
You have meaning.
20
00:01:22.573 --> 00:01:24.294
You have a message.
21
00:01:24.674 --> 00:01:30.817
And you're doing a disservice to the people that you want to help by keeping yourself a secret.
22
00:01:32.470 --> 00:01:33.751
Yeah, because you have a lot to share.
23
00:01:33.811 --> 00:01:39.474
And I always envision talking to one of my patients whenever I'm talking on camera, you know, like how would I talk to them?
24
00:01:39.694 --> 00:01:41.575
What are the questions they say?
25
00:01:41.595 --> 00:01:48.760
And, you know, it's just like you're normal what you do every day, but just make it so it's more people can access it.
26
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:59.766
I'd love to get your take from each of you, the difference between performative confidence and actual confidence in a healthy way.
27
00:02:01.042 --> 00:02:02.984
Because I could be like, oh, I'm amazing.
28
00:02:03.024 --> 00:02:03.384
But then.
29
00:02:03.404 --> 00:02:04.165
Right.
30
00:02:04.665 --> 00:02:07.568
I think actual confidence is a lot quieter than performative.
31
00:02:07.688 --> 00:02:10.050
You know, performative, you can kind of tell.
32
00:02:10.070 --> 00:02:13.133
And then maybe some of those haters get to you and that sort of thing.
33
00:02:13.153 --> 00:02:13.854
But like you said.
34
00:02:14.362 --> 00:02:18.925
I think a lot of these things are like great life lessons of figure out, okay, what am I good at?
35
00:02:18.945 --> 00:02:20.085
What am I not so good at?
36
00:02:20.746 --> 00:02:25.008
And then some of that, you know, feeling like you're doing something.
37
00:02:25.088 --> 00:02:26.569
Everyone's going to find out I'm not good at this.
38
00:02:26.589 --> 00:02:28.470
But you're like, no, I'm really, really good at this.
39
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:31.832
And if they say you're not good at that, you're like, well, I don't care because I already know, you know.
40
00:02:32.212 --> 00:02:37.555
And so being comfortable with yourself, exactly what you said, if like these are my skills.
41
00:02:38.796 --> 00:02:40.657
For me, let me tell you all, my personal,
42
00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:47.914
I had to fight imposter syndrome to launch my show because I'm not a plastic surgeon and I'm talking about plastic surgery.
43
00:02:48.455 --> 00:02:52.317
And I had to, I would tell myself, why are they going to listen to me?
44
00:02:52.397 --> 00:03:08.248
I'm not even a plastic surgeon, but I found strength in all of the information that I did know and how I could connect with my listeners because I knew what they were feeling because I'm not a plastic surgeon and I'm not talking to them in a way where I'm going to operate on them.
45
00:03:08.268 --> 00:03:09.109
I'm talking to their,
46
00:03:09.642 --> 00:03:24.425
to them as a person listening to what their worries are or what bothers them and giving them information that is helpful and is going to help them get there even though I'm not a plastic surgeon.
47
00:03:24.445 --> 00:03:25.766
So I had to fight through that.
48
00:03:26.466 --> 00:03:31.647
And somebody told me, you're doing a disservice to those ladies that you want to help by not
49
00:03:33.267 --> 00:03:34.288
putting yourself out there.
50
00:03:34.368 --> 00:03:36.050
Because that's the huge strength.
51
00:03:36.070 --> 00:03:38.513
Like, that's the value, is you're not a plastic surgeon.
52
00:03:38.533 --> 00:03:40.375
You're not selling anybody plastic surgery.
53
00:03:40.415 --> 00:03:42.216
You're like, you know what it's like.
54
00:03:42.236 --> 00:03:44.319
You've seen what other people have gone through.
55
00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:46.681
You know, like, that's your strength, your superpower.
56
00:03:47.042 --> 00:03:47.282
Yeah.
57
00:03:47.442 --> 00:03:49.404
Imposter syndrome, that's what I was trying to think of.
58
00:03:49.424 --> 00:03:55.551
That's where I realized, instead of it being my weakness, it turned into my superpower.
59
00:03:55.651 --> 00:03:55.871
Yeah.
60
00:03:56.875 --> 00:04:04.738
I want to build on that because you had, what was it, over a dozen years of experience, right?
61
00:04:04.978 --> 00:04:11.160
And so there was that feeling like, oh my goodness, I don't know what I'm talking about, or
Load full transcript
that lack of confidence.
62
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:20.983
So for somebody who wants to put themselves out there, who does actually have confidence, that is a real game changer for them to realize like, hey, one, you're not the only one.
63
00:04:21.103 --> 00:04:25.285
Two, you know, just start because, you know.
64
00:04:25.703 --> 00:04:28.506
Yeah, your perspective is valuable because nobody else has that.
65
00:04:28.606 --> 00:04:32.329
And somebody may have something that's similar to that and they'll connect with that.
66
00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:35.232
And so know that what you're bringing yourself is valuable.
67
00:04:35.632 --> 00:04:46.563
From the room, Forbes journalist and Earworthy newsletter founder Frank Rassiope asks, have you ever had a patient who wanted surgery to fix something surgery couldn't touch?
68
00:04:47.354 --> 00:04:54.418
Yeah, and our consults are really long to be able to have conversations with people and kind of get into that of like, why are we doing this?
69
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.262
And, you know, we have a lot of touch points with them before we have surgery to try to determine that.
70
00:04:59.402 --> 00:05:06.266
And I would say most of the people when I have that conversation of like, I don't think this is going to fix what you're wanting, are receptive.
71
00:05:06.806 --> 00:05:09.407
There's a percentage that are not, and they get very mad at me.
72
00:05:10.248 --> 00:05:14.350
But it's the right thing to do, and hopefully in the end they figure out what they need to.
73
00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:25.194
But I would say the vast majority of people were appreciative that somebody realized they were hurting in some way.
74
00:05:26.015 --> 00:05:32.918
For me, that was actually one of the reasons why I wanted to launch my show, because I've watched...
75
00:05:34.104 --> 00:05:42.528
Hundreds of women go through the transformation but still not see be happy on the other side because they didn't do any of the inner work.
76
00:05:43.068 --> 00:05:47.150
So they're still looking in the mirror unhappy even though they look fantastic.
77
00:05:47.551 --> 00:05:50.452
But it's because they didn't do that inner acceptance.
78
00:05:50.652 --> 00:05:54.094
And is that how they end up being what we would call overdone?
79
00:05:54.214 --> 00:05:55.795
Because it's just not enough.
80
00:05:55.915 --> 00:05:58.416
You did the one thing, not good enough.
81
00:05:58.856 --> 00:06:01.097
You do another one, still not good enough.
82
00:06:01.297 --> 00:06:02.838
And next thing you know...
83
00:06:03.312 --> 00:06:03.492
Mm-hmm.
84
00:06:04.333 --> 00:06:05.093
Yeah.
85
00:06:05.353 --> 00:06:09.976
I call it a slippery slide to body dysmorphia.
86
00:06:10.496 --> 00:06:11.477
Multiple procedures.
87
00:06:11.697 --> 00:06:12.057
Yeah.
88
00:06:12.277 --> 00:06:15.760
It's interesting if you can really, like, dig in with people, like, where these things come from.
89
00:06:15.780 --> 00:06:19.742
Because we'll
get back to, oh, well, this person in my life said something about my nose.
90
00:06:19.782 --> 00:06:21.483
Or this person said something about my weight.
91
00:06:21.523 --> 00:06:22.784
And they carry that with them.
92
00:06:22.824 --> 00:06:25.025
You know, like, how powerful those interactions are.
93
00:06:25.085 --> 00:06:25.465
Decades.
94
00:06:25.485 --> 00:06:25.665
Yeah.
95
00:06:25.685 --> 00:06:27.106
Decades and decades.
96
00:06:27.146 --> 00:06:27.647
Decades.
97
00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:33.400
How do you stop spiraling over the details, the backdrop, the mic, the makeup before you hit post?
98
00:06:34.148 --> 00:06:42.074
When you have an important message to say, when you have something important to say, whatever is around you doesn't matter.
99
00:06:42.354 --> 00:06:46.477
It's what are you telling the person on the other side?
100
00:06:46.857 --> 00:06:48.718
What message are you conveying to them?
101
00:06:48.758 --> 00:06:49.799
How are you connecting?
102
00:06:50.259 --> 00:06:55.743
Are you helping them or identifying something that maybe they need help with?
103
00:06:56.684 --> 00:07:01.607
That when your message is important, the surroundings you have...
104
00:07:02.820 --> 00:07:11.504
Well, the sound quality, you want to make sure they hear you, but don't get too caught up on making sure you have to have this super expensive microphone.
105
00:07:11.665 --> 00:07:15.587
There's tons of good work.
106
00:07:15.627 --> 00:07:17.988
Yeah, good microphones at different price points.
107
00:07:18.648 --> 00:07:25.393
it's finding what works for you and just doing it until you're like, okay, I say I'm doing it scared.
108
00:07:25.413 --> 00:07:26.593
I'm just going to do it scared.
109
00:07:26.614 --> 00:07:27.494
And I'm just going to do it.
110
00:07:27.574 --> 00:07:28.875
It's not brave if you're not scared.
111
00:07:29.035 --> 00:07:30.996
Exactly.
112
00:07:31.217 --> 00:07:34.679
And I think all those prep things are things to get you in the right head space.
113
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.440
So people are like, Oh, just post it.
114
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.261
I cannot post it.
115
00:07:37.301 --> 00:07:39.002
I don't have makeup on like, that's ridiculous.
116
00:07:39.022 --> 00:07:43.765
Nobody's going to watch that, you know, but the makeup is for me to feel comfortable that I can show up and,
117
00:07:44.246 --> 00:07:57.448
but does anyone notice that my eyeliner's off like no not you know I will and I will sit there I'll be like I'll sit there and I'll look at that video but literally nobody else does but if if it's your value you're bringing value what value are you bringing to people
118
00:07:57.974 --> 00:08:02.575
Okay, I want to ask a question because we're on this topic of Dr. Sturm.
119
00:08:02.595 --> 00:08:06.536
So you've been doing YouTube videos since 2012, which I think is amazing.
120
00:08:08.197 --> 00:08:12.158
How would you say your confidence has changed since then?
121
00:08:12.858 --> 00:08:17.579
And does it ever kind of drift back to the early days of when you were creating content?
122
00:08:18.947 --> 00:08:19.988
Huge difference since then.
123
00:08:20.068 --> 00:08:24.713
I was terrified of being on video or pictures or any of it.
124
00:08:24.813 --> 00:08:27.255
I mean, like medical school does not prepare you for any of that.
125
00:08:27.295 --> 00:08:30.378
If anything, you're like the opposite of that.
126
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:33.842
So I hated it in every possible way.
127
00:08:33.942 --> 00:08:34.943
It was just doing it.
128
00:08:35.784 --> 00:08:38.526
I had a website company that was like, this is how we're going to do your SEO.
129
00:08:38.546 --> 00:08:42.130
You're going to do eight to ten videos every month and you're doing it.
130
00:08:43.451 --> 00:08:45.252
And you just, you did it scared.
131
00:08:45.692 --> 00:08:48.874
And then after a while, it just becomes like less scary.
132
00:08:49.254 --> 00:08:53.697
It's like everything, if you do it and then you realize it wasn't as bad as what I made it in my head.
133
00:08:54.457 --> 00:08:57.539
And I don't look at the YouTube comments because I just don't look.
134
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:03.463
You know, you just realize the parts that are important, the parts that are not important, that it wasn't so bad.
135
00:09:03.523 --> 00:09:07.565
And I realized people didn't pick apart the things that I thought were bad.
136
00:09:08.188 --> 00:09:14.671
that I did, you know, and, and then that's how you build your confidence is just doing things and realizing, oh, I survived that.
137
00:09:14.831 --> 00:09:15.672
That was not that hard.
138
00:09:15.692 --> 00:09:22.215
That was not so bad, you know, and I think we all wax and wane in times that, you know, maybe you're going through other stuff.
139
00:09:22.255 --> 00:09:26.357
It's harder to be like, okay, I'm going to motivate and I'm going to do this and it's going to be better.
140
00:09:26.457 --> 00:09:37.622
And then you get through that part and then you're able to get back into it, you know, and at this point in my life, I kind of go with what is working for me at the moment, you know, of like, okay, this is,
141
00:09:37.942 --> 00:09:40.164
This is how big my plate is and here's what I can handle.
142
00:09:40.184 --> 00:09:41.785
And then I shuffle things off and on.
143
00:09:42.746 --> 00:09:44.287
How do you get yourselves out of that rut though?
144
00:09:44.347 --> 00:09:50.531
Like if you're kind of feeling, you know, I don't know who in here can relate, but sometimes I'm just poopy pants.
145
00:09:50.811 --> 00:09:51.072
Okay.
146
00:09:51.092 --> 00:09:53.814
I just don't, you know, I'm just in my feelings, in my head.
147
00:09:53.914 --> 00:09:58.417
And I'm like, you know, I can't do it.
148
00:09:58.437 --> 00:10:00.158
I don't want to do it, but I need to do it.
149
00:10:00.398 --> 00:10:03.961
But how do you, how do you get yourself, yourselves out of
it?
150
00:10:04.615 --> 00:10:05.536
I need the little wins.
151
00:10:05.636 --> 00:10:06.876
So I look for the little wins.
152
00:10:06.976 --> 00:10:10.678
Even if it's not related at all, you know, maybe it's the gratitude thing.
153
00:10:10.698 --> 00:10:14.320
You know, like if you practice gratitude and you're like, oh, well, this happened and that worked.
154
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.642
And this is, you know, if I can mentally be more in that.
155
00:10:17.722 --> 00:10:18.983
Okay, I've got these little wins.
156
00:10:19.503 --> 00:10:20.404
I've built it back up.
157
00:10:20.424 --> 00:10:23.545
And okay, now I can jump from here to back where I need to be, you know.
158
00:10:23.625 --> 00:10:23.965
Okay.
159
00:10:25.086 --> 00:10:32.639
For me, I would say like when I'm feeling uninspired, I have to get inspired again.
160
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.287
I have to find something that's going to excite me about what I'm.
161
00:10:37.898 --> 00:11:02.062
doing what I'm doing so I give you a perfect example right now um I hadn't recorded my for my podcast for three months we were releasing episodes from the vault we were taking episodes from first release and I wasn't feeling motivated to I'm like I've already talked about all these things like I feel like I'm a broken record saying the same things over and over again
162
00:11:02.651 --> 00:11:13.096
But what I did was I found this thing called the Japanese goal setter where it's you have your goal in the middle and you it's a whole worksheet.
163
00:11:13.537 --> 00:11:17.439
Pretty much it's 64 actions that will get you to your goal.
164
00:11:18.199 --> 00:11:18.839
So I did it.
165
00:11:18.979 --> 00:11:19.660
Sorry to interrupt.
166
00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:20.940
I'm looking this up right now.
167
00:11:21.020 --> 00:11:22.901
So see me after.
168
00:11:24.102 --> 00:11:30.125
So you you put your goal in the middle and then you have eight things that would get you towards that goal.
169
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.901
And then you break those eight things into their own separate box.
170
00:11:33.961 --> 00:11:38.223
And then you feel like what would make this action happen?
171
00:11:38.923 --> 00:11:46.606
So I was doing it actually, because I'm telling myself I'm on a mission to build the Disney of plastic surgery podcasting.
172
00:11:46.626 --> 00:11:47.866
I love that.
173
00:11:48.086 --> 00:11:49.267
That's where I started.
174
00:11:49.307 --> 00:11:54.688
I'm like, okay, if I want to build the Disney of plastic surgery podcasting, what do I need to do?
175
00:11:54.949 --> 00:11:55.729
How do I get there?
176
00:11:56.309 --> 00:11:57.390
So that's where it started.
177
00:11:57.710 --> 00:12:00.131
But then I thought, I can use this with anything.
178
00:12:00.551 --> 00:12:04.934
What if I make have safe plastic surgery be my goal?
179
00:12:05.374 --> 00:12:08.976
And then what would my 64 actions be to get me there?
180
00:12:09.576 --> 00:12:10.797
And it got me
really excited.
181
00:12:10.917 --> 00:12:12.218
Oh, yeah, I got to do all these things.
182
00:12:12.318 --> 00:12:13.959
Okay, now I need my guests.
183
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.739
I need to do this.
184
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:22.043
And it got me really excited because I have a new way of giving the information that can help people.
185
00:12:23.151 --> 00:12:24.412
It's the small steps.
186
00:12:24.452 --> 00:12:26.993
You do all the little small steps and then it all comes together.
187
00:12:27.734 --> 00:12:33.698
I think things like this are great because it always energizes me to be around other people, talking about it, doing it, and then you're like, oh, yeah, good ideas.
188
00:12:33.718 --> 00:12:34.578
Yeah, I do love it.
189
00:12:34.618 --> 00:12:35.038
Yeah.
190
00:12:36.119 --> 00:12:41.402
And another question we got from the audience was, how do you even decide what to make your show about?
191
00:12:41.422 --> 00:12:43.324
Do you want to go?
192
00:12:43.864 --> 00:12:48.207
So for me, the way I started from the very beginning was...
193
00:12:49.654 --> 00:12:57.381
I took the experience I had as a patient coordinator and all of the questions that my ladies were asking me on a daily basis.
194
00:12:57.982 --> 00:13:00.585
And I knew they're searching for this on Google.
195
00:13:00.845 --> 00:13:02.526
They're searching for this online.
196
00:13:03.047 --> 00:13:08.792
So I made episodes specifically answering the questions that they were searching for.
197
00:13:09.433 --> 00:13:10.534
So, for example...
198
00:13:10.968 --> 00:13:12.728
How to find a plastic surgeon.
199
00:13:13.068 --> 00:13:14.589
Who does the best BBLs.
200
00:13:14.729 --> 00:13:16.909
How to take care of yourself after a tummy tuck.
201
00:13:17.249 --> 00:13:20.490
How to prepare your house after a tummy tuck surgery.
202
00:13:21.510 --> 00:13:23.530
What are the best breast implants.
203
00:13:23.590 --> 00:13:25.711
Like questions that I know they're Googling.
204
00:13:26.611 --> 00:13:29.311
That I would put that content in my episodes.
205
00:13:29.471 --> 00:13:32.252
And now I just somebody told me this last week.
206
00:13:32.952 --> 00:13:34.392
She was Googling surgeons.
207
00:13:34.632 --> 00:13:36.692
And the next time she went to her Spotify app.
208
00:13:36.912 --> 00:13:37.813
My show popped up.
209
00:13:38.373 --> 00:13:40.393
And it was recommended by the algorithm.
210
00:13:41.152 --> 00:13:47.935
That's how we had started is you would Google rhinoplasty and then all the questions that would come up, we would answer all of those questions.
211
00:13:47.975 --> 00:13:50.317
And they still perform well and they're on YouTube.
212
00:13:50.337 --> 00:13:51.177
And so we have that.
213
00:13:51.857 --> 00:13:56.140
And then we'll put them on social media to help drive it, drive people to it.
214
00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.400
It's very niched.
215
00:13:57.640 --> 00:14:00.662
So the women who find me are looking for surgery.
216
00:14:00.682 --> 00:14:02.703
They're looking for answers about surgery.
217
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.819
I will just add one thing.
218
00:14:04.979 --> 00:14:06.400
We're talking about specificity.
219
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:16.742
We've got a plastic surgeon, facial plastics, specialty in rhinoplasty, double board certified, ENT licensed trained.
220
00:14:17.102 --> 00:14:17.602
How do you say that?
221
00:14:17.762 --> 00:14:17.962
Yes.
222
00:14:18.002 --> 00:14:20.163
Right?
223
00:14:20.223 --> 00:14:20.963
No big deal.
224
00:14:21.343 --> 00:14:30.065
But we talk about specificity and then big butts, no lies, plastic surgery, wellness recovery, consults.
225
00:14:30.695 --> 00:14:33.437
It's like everything else other than the surgery.
226
00:14:33.557 --> 00:14:34.357
Other than the surgery.
227
00:14:34.957 --> 00:14:36.538
So that's specificity.
228
00:14:36.758 --> 00:14:41.421
But then also, can you describe your show in a sentence of 10 words or less?
229
00:14:42.282 --> 00:14:45.644
And if it's more than 10 words, maybe you're too broad.
230
00:14:46.164 --> 00:14:48.545
So that's one thing.
231
00:14:48.585 --> 00:14:50.526
But bringing this back to...
232
00:14:51.927 --> 00:14:56.048
Appearances is how we feel about ourselves when we look at ourselves, think about ourselves.
233
00:14:56.468 --> 00:15:13.871
So the internet, we're going to go back to the internet and how there's this sort of moral argument that either you're, you look all natural or wow, you're just vain and you're either empowering yourself or you're giving into pressure.
234
00:15:14.291 --> 00:15:18.072
And so why is, why is that framing useless?
235
00:15:19.364 --> 00:15:24.007
Because I don't think it's realistic of what people, most people are, what they do, you know.
236
00:15:24.027 --> 00:15:30.792
Like people think about you're trying to get away from yourself or run from yourself or something, you know, be something different when you have plastic surgery.
237
00:15:30.852 --> 00:15:34.934
Most people that I take care of, you're trying to be more yourself, feel more yourself.
238
00:15:34.974 --> 00:15:37.416
You know, you get a facelift because you look in the mirror and you're like, who is this?
239
00:15:37.516 --> 00:15:38.417
And when did this happen?
240
00:15:38.937 --> 00:15:40.698
You know, and that's what my patients say.
241
00:15:40.718 --> 00:15:43.100
They're like, I look in the mirror and I see myself again, you know.
242
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:43.220
Yeah.
243
00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:53.206
or I have a nose that that's what I'm focused on, and then whenever you're not focused on that, then you can be more present in your interactions.
244
00:15:53.226 --> 00:16:06.575
And so I would say most of my patients are actually doing this to take care of themselves, and a lot of them eat right, and they exercise, and they do all the things to take care of themselves, and this is one more thing to help them feel more like them.
245
00:16:07.355 --> 00:16:09.597
But the outside sees it as,
246
00:16:11.022 --> 00:16:14.943
vain and, you know, not wanting to be like yourself.
247
00:16:15.163 --> 00:16:18.643
So I think it's a difference of what is actually happening, what people think is happening.
248
00:16:19.243 --> 00:16:23.164
We have a mutual friend, Shelby, and I love his analogy.
249
00:16:23.224 --> 00:16:25.264
So I would love for you to explain the analogy.
250
00:16:26.225 --> 00:16:26.705
The car?
251
00:16:26.845 --> 00:16:28.445
Yeah.
252
00:16:28.585 --> 00:16:32.646
He said, well, you know, I wash my car, I change the oil, I put gas in it.
253
00:16:32.666 --> 00:16:34.086
You know, I take care of that car.
254
00:16:34.506 --> 00:16:36.186
I'm way more important than that car.
255
00:16:36.226 --> 00:16:39.267
Why would I not take care of myself and do the things to take care of myself?
256
00:16:39.327 --> 00:16:40.347
You know, this, I'm...
257
00:16:41.453 --> 00:16:42.514
I'm the most important thing I have.
258
00:16:42.854 --> 00:16:43.734
Exactly.
259
00:16:43.794 --> 00:16:45.135
And look up that YouTube video.
260
00:16:45.215 --> 00:16:48.076
It's the impact of plastic surgery on men.
261
00:16:48.476 --> 00:16:49.817
So he's a guest on the show.
262
00:16:50.057 --> 00:16:55.039
A lot of great insight in terms of confidence and what we're talking about here.
263
00:16:55.660 --> 00:17:06.265
I think going back to becoming a podcaster, you're going through a transformation, really, in my opinion.
264
00:17:06.365 --> 00:17:11.007
If you are putting yourself out there, you are receiving –
265
00:17:12.116 --> 00:17:16.263
information from the people that you are serving with your show.
266
00:17:16.283 --> 00:17:17.546
I think...
267
00:17:19.878 --> 00:17:23.120
You never really think, oh my God, I look great.
268
00:17:23.300 --> 00:17:25.261
I'm so perfect.
269
00:17:25.301 --> 00:17:26.882
I'm so happy with this video.
270
00:17:27.282 --> 00:17:30.624
It's always, this could have been a little bit better.
271
00:17:31.184 --> 00:17:32.145
Maybe I can do this.
272
00:17:32.205 --> 00:17:33.206
Maybe I can tweak that.
273
00:17:33.386 --> 00:17:36.768
But ultimately, you just have to do it.
274
00:17:36.808 --> 00:17:38.188
You just have to record.
275
00:17:38.208 --> 00:17:39.329
You just have to post it.
276
00:17:39.969 --> 00:17:44.412
Whether you think you look perfect or not, you just have to do it.
277
00:17:45.018 --> 00:17:51.910
And the last question we got from the audience at Illuminate is about Mavi rerunning her old top episodes.
278
00:17:52.390 --> 00:17:54.314
And they want to know, does the audience even notice?
279
00:17:55.423 --> 00:18:02.524
Yeah, so we, those are episodes from 2020, 2021 that were like the highest played episodes.
280
00:18:02.544 --> 00:18:05.745
So what we did was re-release them again.
281
00:18:06.365 --> 00:18:18.708
My, what I find with my audience is either they'll find me and they start listening from the episode that they found me through, or they'll go all the way back to the beginning and just binge listen to everything.
282
00:18:18.808 --> 00:18:23.489
So some of those topics I haven't talked about in three or four years.
283
00:18:25.531 --> 00:18:26.832
just re-releasing them.
284
00:18:27.373 --> 00:18:34.439
If you think of podcasting in the same way you look at network television, everyone has their favorite episode of Friends.
285
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:36.921
You'll watch it without context.
286
00:18:37.141 --> 00:18:42.806
Maybe you see it on the, I don't even know, it's TV Tunes or 80s channel or whatever it is.
287
00:18:43.347 --> 00:18:45.829
And you're like, oh, I love that one.
288
00:18:46.129 --> 00:18:48.930
But did they do anything to the actual episode?
289
00:18:48.950 --> 00:18:54.253
Like, this is a rebroadcast from 1997, season two, episode five.
290
00:18:54.633 --> 00:18:56.974
And there are some podcasts that like to do it.
291
00:18:57.034 --> 00:19:02.016
I feel it's a little bit self-aggrandizing, whatever.
292
00:19:02.937 --> 00:19:05.558
But I kind of tend to be more like, yeah, just...
293
00:19:06.417 --> 00:19:11.520
From the vault, from the archives, we do aesthetic moments, colon, the title.
294
00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:16.963
We work with some podcasts where it's just the same title, same file, whatever.
295
00:19:17.123 --> 00:19:20.565
And it's an audio-only show on YouTube.
296
00:19:21.594 --> 00:19:23.315
Probably not going to work as well.
297
00:19:23.616 --> 00:19:27.859
Change the thumbnail, change the title, and that'll do the trick.
298
00:19:28.540 --> 00:19:33.624
For me, it's in, I don't know how the two of you, well, we help you with your show, but I don't know how you see it.
299
00:19:33.644 --> 00:19:38.808
But really, I don't see that there's a need to reinvent the wheel.
300
00:19:38.928 --> 00:19:41.250
If the wheel was already working just fine.
301
00:19:41.350 --> 00:19:46.414
Because it was top episode, bringing back the most played episodes.
302
00:19:46.514 --> 00:19:47.995
So it was just...
303
00:19:49.583 --> 00:19:56.106
Probably whoever's listening to it hadn't heard it since so long that they don't even know it's a new one or it's an old one.
304
00:19:56.406 --> 00:19:56.846
All right.
305
00:19:57.486 --> 00:19:59.787
Please, everybody, give it up for Dr. Sturm and Mavi.
306
00:19:59.807 --> 00:20:01.388
Thank you.
307
00:20:01.448 --> 00:20:04.850
By the way, Beauty Unveiled.
308
00:20:05.110 --> 00:20:10.232
Beauty Unveiled on all the podcast apps, YouTube as well, and Big Butts No Lies.
