Veja como você pode utilizar a confiança para vencer a síndrome do impostor como podcaster.

Conquering imposter syndrome as a podcaster starts with remembering that no one knows everything—confidence isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about owning what you bring to the table. Your voice matters because your perspective is unique—Beyoncé doesn’t try to be Adele, and neither should you compare yourself to others. Embrace the “fake it ’til you make it” mindset, but keep it genuine—confidence is a vibe, not over-the-top arrogance. Celebrate every win, no matter how small, like it’s a standing ovation, because those wins stack up. Most importantly, keep showing up. The more you do, the more your confidence grows—and trust me, your audience is here for the real, not the perfect.

I believe everyone suffers from imposter syndrome when they start a podcast, 'who's going to listen?' or other thoughts start running through your head. The beauty of podcasting is that you get to show up as your authentic self, there's no rejection as those that don't resonate with you simply won't listen so you get to show up and serve those who are listening. Everyone has a story, your story is valid, but you have to share it, to inspire those who NEED to hear it. Make a comittment to show up that's 99% of the work done right there.

Once you start interviewing folks you will soon realize that it is important to listen and ask engaging questions. The imposter syndrome will fade as you will have to bring your experience and knowledge into the conversation establishing you as an expert.

Sometimes the best place to start is something that you're actively working on now. It can help to reflect on something recent that you worked on to almost distract yourself into talking about a real challenge that you conquered recently. It will come out more authentic. And THATS what people love to hear, authenticity 🫶

Everyone has unique strengths and talents. Identify what you excel at and focus on leveraging these strengths in your work. By concentrating on what you do well, you can build confidence and reduce feelings of inadequacy. Consider keeping a journal of your accomplishments and positive feedback to remind yourself of your capabilities. Our strengths are gifts meant to be used to serve others and make a positive impact in the world.

Embracing your unique strengths is essential for building confidence as a podcaster. Whether it’s your interviewing prowess, distinctive voice, or ability to simplify complex topics, these qualities set you apart. By centering your episodes around these strengths, you not only enhance your podcast’s quality but also bolster your self-assurance. Remember, your audience tunes in for the unique value you provide.

Debes tomar herramientas de otras sectores, y en este caso viene genial hacerte un propio DAFO personal. ¿Cuáles son tus debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades? Pero te lo pregunto a nivel personal ¿Qué se te da bien y qué se te da mal? Potencia aquello que disfrutas, lo haces con muchísima confianza y saber resolver los problemas, y no te juzgues o te frustres por las cosas que no sabes hacer o te sientes mal haciéndolas, confía en alguien, únete a alguien que sí sepa o contrata a quien te ayude para no tener ese carga mental.

The best goal I find is to be consistent versus the results of your consistency. When you're setting a goal to achieve, it is best to focus on the things that you can control rather than the algorithms or virality. So setting short-term consistency goals and soft goals about enjoying what you're doing, I've found to be far more effective in building the habit. Once you have the habit built, results follow!

Objetivos alcanzables, así lo he resumido desde que empecé en el podcast hace 15 años. Todo son pasos y objetivos, y cada uno debe imaginar los suyos. ¿Quieres pasar de 0 a 50k followers en una semana con tu podcast? No he visto esa evolución ni siquiera en multinacionales realizando inversiones económicas en publicidad. ¿Quieres tener 20.000 streamers con tu primer podcast? Me temo que está en el lugar equivocado. Ponte objetivos alcanzables. Como por ejemplo conseguir 100 suscriptores después de alcanzar los 50 primeros, o de alcanzar tener una media de 400 escuchas por episodio y después conseguir tener una media de 800....todo es progresivo.

Refuerza tu valor como persona, porque primero eres persona y después eres profesional. ¿Cómo puedes mejorar la confianza en ti? Yo te comparto 3 técnicas que he usado hace muchos años y que comparto con alumnos que tienen ciertos problemas de autoestima. 1º - Lee en voz alta cualquier tipo de texto 2º - Grábate leyendo cada día de 3 a 5 minutos 3º - Cuando ya no te parezca tan raro verte en las grabaciones sal a la calle y graba en la calle vídeos hasta que te de igual que haya gente que te mire. Refuerza tu confianza y tu podcast, y sobre todo tu, seréis mejores.

Feedback is like oxygen for any serious content creator. The more feedback, the better. But ultimately, you are the one who decides whether or not you want to listen to it. All opinions are welcome. But that doesn't mean that you need to adjust to every opinion.

Since adopting the principle "it's better to be interested than interesting," my followers have doubled. By engaging with top voices on LinkedIn and creating value-added content that complements their messages, I've built meaningful connections and provided value to the community. Treating these top voices as mentors has allowed me to learn from the best. As a result, my recent LinkedIn post views have skyrocketed from 40+ views per day to over 4,000 views per day, all thanks to following apprenticeship strategies for learning and growth.

Absolutamente todos tus primeros episodios deben ir dirigidos a comunicarte con ese "oyente imaginario" al que lo mismo hoy no, pero dentro de 3 meses aparece en tu podcast y te escucha. Habla con tus oyentes aunque no estén mirándote a los ojos, hazte preguntas a ti mismo que serán las mismas que los oyentes tendrán. Olvídate de los comentarios de familia y amigos, busca feedback en personas que realmente quieran criticar tu contenido porque están en la misma sintonía que tu.

Continuous learning is important, but let's not kid ourselves. The more you learn, the more you feel like you have more to learn. That's at least my experience. And since there's so many new fancy tools coming out, it feels like I'm learning a new tool every week. And there does come a point where learning new tools to replace the tools you're already using has diminishing returns. I guess the point here is to focus on learning new areas as opposed to always trying to improve areas you're already comfortable in.

Consider the fact that your voice is unique to you. Don’t assume the space is saturated or you have nothing interesting to offer…your authenticity will lead you to your audience

The other thing I'd consider is asking someone on your team or having an assistant to be in between you and the actual publish button. That has worked wonders for me because I can focus on creating more content while someone else on the team can make some refinements and ultimately click 'publish'. Personally, I review very little of the content that I produce only because my goal isn't to make the most perfect content, but rather to create authentic, good, and practical content in a way that doesn't feel like 'work' for me.

Confidence comes from a belief in Self. This belief in Self comes from knowing, I have the ability and skills, to figure it out
