Who Cares About My Podcast? (Spoiler: More People Than You Think)
Storytelling often feels intimidating when you believe your experiences aren’t dramatic enough to matter. That’s why Reme Mancera’s approach is so refreshing. As a Personal Brand Story Strategist and host of the Who Cares About My Story podcast, she helps coaches, consultants, and service providers turn ordinary moments into powerful content using her 10 Story Connectors Framework. Her podcast title alone speaks directly to the doubt many creators feel—and she’s here to dismantle it.
Reme opens up about podcasting in English instead of her native Spanish, sharing how vulnerability around accents and pronunciation didn’t stop her from connecting with listeners. Her journey is a powerful reminder that authenticity always matters more than perfection. Starting her podcast before it technically existed, every “yes” she received from guests became validation that her message resonated.
If you’ve been stuck in perfectionism or unsure how to tell your story, this episode will inspire you to shift your mindset. Reme’s belief in content as experimentation—where failure is part of the process—frees you to create with more confidence and joy. 🎧 Tune in now and explore more of Reme’s work at whocaresaboutmystory.com.

So one thing that I love, that is especially fun about my podcast and the content that I create, is I get to ask other creators about their podcast journey. So we have had so many people on the show and I just love that this kind of gets to be their safe space to share their mistakes or share their challenges or share their milestones or celebrations about their podcast, and I thought this would be a really fun opportunity to extend that to some of our members for Podcasters Connect. So I'm sure you've probably heard me talk about this, but Podcasters Connect is our membership where we lean into working on all the different pieces of your content. So we have monthly coaching calls, we do audits, like, if you want feedback on how your website flows or, you know, building your email list or things set up properly. So it's more than just me listening to your podcast and saying, oh, it sounds great. It's a lot more of the actual business of creating content to drive more revenue for your business. So today I am so happy to have Remy on the show.
Speaker 1:So Remy is one of our premium community members and I asked a group of people like, hey, I would love to interview you so you could share more of your story. And Remy's like this whole interview, did not disappoint, because her topic that she creates content about is about personal brand stories. So Remy is a personal brand story strategist who works one-on-one with service providers, coaches and consultants to help them identify which stories to share, when and why. So it builds trust with new audiences and creates deep connections with potential customers. So she created the 10 Story Connectors Framework for those who feel they don't have a big, epic story. Can you relate to that? Because I sure as heck could whenever I first started my podcast. But her framework guides people through sharing 10 meaningful moments from their journey that highlight the benefits and value of what they offer. She's also the host of who Cares About my Story and we're going to get into the name of her show and her artwork because it is so dang good, but her podcast is all about how sharing your personal brand story can significantly impact your business. So, whether you're just getting started and you want to hear from someone else who is in the trenches doing their show right now, which is exactly what Remy does or you also want to hear from someone else who is in the trenches doing their show right now, which is exactly what Remy does, or you also want to hear from someone who talks all about personal brand story and understands how important storytelling is. Either one of those reasons is an incredible reason to tune into today's episode.
Speaker 1:So let's get right to it. Welcome to the Profit Podcast, where we teach you how to start, launch and market your content with confidence. I'm your host, crystal Profit Podcast, where we teach you how to start, launch and market your content with confidence. I'm your host, crystal Profit, and I'm so excited that you're here. Thanks for hanging out with me today, because if you've been trying to figure out the world of content creation, this is the show that will help be your time-saving shortcut. So let's get right to it, shall we All? Right Profit Podcast listeners, I am so excited for today's guest to be on the show today. So welcome, remy. How are you?
Speaker 2:Thank you so much for having me. This is so much fun already.
Speaker 1:Yes, this is going to be such an incredible journey. You know, remy is someone who is she's in our Podcasters Connect community and she actually invited me to be on her show and we're kind of recording these episodes like back to back this week. So this is the second time that I've popped on a call with Remy and we're like chatting. So I feel like we're kind of picking up and like oh, like we can just continue our conversation, but y'all are going to have to go check out Like I don't know if it's going to be out in live by the time this episode goes live. But I will absolutely link to our conversation that Remy and I had on her podcast, because it was all about storytelling, all about how to tell a good story. I shared stories that I'd never shared anywhere else. So y'all are going to have to go listen to Remy's podcast, but let's just start there. Remy, can you tell us a little bit about what it is that you do about your podcast? And let's just get started there. Sure.
Speaker 2:So I am Remy Monsera and I am a personal brand story strategist, so I help people to identify which stories to share, when and why, and I love working around stories. I have been loving stories all my life. I always share this little story of the first time that in my neighborhood they opened the public library and I was super excited. I was one of the first people to get the library card because I was just excited about the idea of reading all those books with all those stories and somehow was a way of traveling, exploring other lives, other cultures and learning about others. And now I'm so lucky to be working around stories and helping others to use their stories as a way to amplify their impact, so I love that. And then about my podcast yeah, it's called who Cares About my Story and the idea is to share the behind the scenes of deciding what to share and what not and the impact that sharing our story has for our businesses.
Speaker 1:Okay, I have to ask, before we go any further, who designed your cover art and we'll make sure on the video version that we have it like like come up on screen or something. But did you do this? Like where did? Because when I looked at it I was like, oh my gosh, this is so cool, it's so artsy and fun. Like where did that idea come from and did you design that? You have to tell us about your artwork because it's really fun.
Speaker 2:Oh, I am so honored because a friend of mine she's an artist and she offered this cover as a gift to me when I was launching the podcast because she knew how excited I was about the idea of launching this podcast podcast. Because she knew how excited I was about the idea of launching this podcast and she has been talking with me about the podcast idea and so on, so she really knew the idea behind the podcast and the reason and she created this specific artwork for the podcast. So I am really grateful for that because, yeah, I love it too.
Speaker 1:Well, I was going to say you'll have to pass that along and be like we love it, I think it's so cool and I think it's so fun. But I also, you know, I had told Remy I was like well, let's talk about your story today. Like, let's really dive into the different pieces and that's one that we will hear some folks share. Like, oh, you know, I hired someone on Fiverr to create something, or I did this, but I love that. You know you had someone in your immediate network.
Speaker 1:So if anybody's listening to this and you're trying to figure out artwork, like ask some of the artists that you know, like Remy did, and be like hey, do you want to create something for me?
Speaker 1:Like you know, of course you offer to pay him or maybe they'll do a favor for you, like Remy's friend did, but offer to pay him or maybe they'll do a favor for you, like Remy's friend did, but you know, having that piece because it's so different, it is not something that you can just go on to Canva and you realize like, oh, 17 other people have very similar artwork than I do. So I think that that's just one kind of fun behind the scenes story. But what about the title, because I think even just the title of your name is or, you know, the podcast name is who cares about my story? What a fantastic. I love that it's a question like it's posed as a question, because I do think that this is. I mean, you and I are storytellers, we, we talk to people all the time about this, but, um, is that something that just kept coming up and up for you and you just were like, oh, I have to do this, where did that come from?
Speaker 2:So, yeah, this is a great question and I have been thinking about my podcast for months before I started and somewhere around that I was like, yeah, this is going to be the name, and this is a question that a lot of people in my audience ask themselves, and they have this concern. They they listing all the shoots. You should tell your story, but then they have this feeling of I don't have an epic story to share. Who will care about it? So this question came again and again, with people questioning why they should share their stories. So that's when I, at some point, I was like, yeah, this is the name, that I like Something clicked and it's like, yeah, this is it, I am not overthinking, I got this one.
Speaker 1:I love it and I think it's such a from a marketing perspective, from a branding perspective, it automatically attracts the right audience because it's asking that question that they're asking themselves. Right, they're already asking that question. So you know immediately that, oh, this is. They're going to either be attracted to this immediately or they're not, and that's fine too, like we shouldn't be afraid of that. But I think that it's, it's just, it's so fun, it's so fun and now so let's let's backtrack into why. I mean, I know you shared about, like, why stories in particular are really important to you, even from you know, way back when you were little, and how, how that impacts your life and how stories just happen. But when it comes to deciding to start a podcast, did you have questions of like should I do a blog? Do I need to do a YouTube channel? Should I do just social media content? Like, what about podcasting? Specifically made you say that's really what I want to do.
Speaker 2:First of all, I love listening to podcasts and I know how you create this intimacy with the show that you are listening to and it's like you are really getting how they are and their approach to things and their points of view. So, as a listener, I appreciate all of that. So I thought that's going to be a great way for myself to do what I wanted. Like what I have clarity on was the goals of the podcast. And then it's yeah, there is several goals there, but mainly, I would say, three of them.
Speaker 2:So the first one was like sharing this idea of your story is relevant and it's worth telling. That's my main message that I like to convey. So, using the podcast as a way to convey that, I felt that it's a great way for bringing others to share their experiences so the listener can see different points of view and different ways of doing things. And that's my second goal, which is like for people to see like one size fits all formula is not the right way for me. You need to see what is good for you, for your circumstances, for your needs. And then the third goal is related to my positioning. I thought that this could be a great way for me to position as a personal brand story strategies and also to position my framework that then story collector framework.
Speaker 1:I love that and I I'm like I'm sitting here thinking about when. When we ask these questions, we think it's usually like a straightforward answer, but there really are like so many layers because I'm sure someone's listening and they're like oh yeah, like when I made that decision, I had like four other reasons behind it, or I had a bunch of reasons why I would prefer. Usually people are like I don't like video that much or I don't want to do video, so I just did my podcast. But you are absolutely right, like the intimacy that you create with a podcast is unparalleled.
Speaker 1:Like you cannot get that type of intimacy I don't think so, even on YouTube or any other platform. Like it's so special and unique. But also I just think about like having that really deep connection with a podcast yourself as a consumer and then knowing that that was just the next step in your journey. It's like it's what makes the most sense. But I want to ask a question about language. Actually, I was thinking about this, um, because yourself, uh, I don't know if you've told everyone, if you said where you're located in the world.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we didn't mention yet. Yeah, I am in Spain, I am from Spain, from Mal English or in my native language. Do I need to?
Speaker 1:you know, create products and services, like marketing, and it's one of those questions that I myself haven't had to ask those questions. So and I do know that we have a global audience here and we haven't really addressed this before. So could you speak to that, like, did you have a thought process or were you considering doing this in Spanish or as any of your client work or your marketing? Like let's just kind of talk through that, because I think it'd be helpful for other people listening that they're thinking through those decisions and trying to understand what the best move for them is.
Speaker 2:Of course. So for me, I started when I started my business. I decided to create my communication in English as a way to amplify the amount of people that I would reach with my content and things like that, and I was like, okay, I focus on in-person networking in Spanish, but then my online content is in English. That was like my main thoughts. And then after a while, it was a point where I think about, okay, do I do this in English or I move to Spanish and English, or just Spanish, and at the end, I decided to keep in English. Because of all the work that I have done already and the idea of me starting my business, one of the things that I wanted was work from anywhere, with people from all over the world. So, because I have Spanish as my language, it was like, okay, I can speak to anyone in Spanish and then I amplify the people that I can talk to by doing English.
Speaker 2:But I would say this is super personal, and the only thing that I would like to highlight is even because, at the beginning, I remember myself thinking about, ok, my accent and people will not understand me and all that, and for me it was a moment of OK. Whenever I am in a conversation, I am just focused on trying to communicate with the person, and it's not that much if there is a bit of mispronunciation or anything like that, like now. But yeah, it's more about the communication and this with storytelling, you know how powerful it is. So I would say that this is a personal decision and there is not a right or wrong answer. But for those who are thinking about doing something like that, I will encourage them to do so because if they are trying to do it, there is some something is pushing them into that decision. So, yeah, just try, go for it and experiment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's such good advice and thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing that piece of your story, because I do think that those are. I actually heard someone else in our community recently say well, I don't know that people in like my local community really want what I'm offering, but this could be a global offer and I could work with anyone, and that was kind of the decision that made them want to say I think I'm going to do this in English too. So, like you said, it's a personal choice and it's very layered, like if you're going to work with people in your local market and that's all you want to do, then great, that's fantastic. But I just really wanted to hear your perspective on if there was an actual thought process in the pieces of making that decision, because I think you're absolutely right, it's going to depend on the person and the type of content they're creating and what they're doing. But it's always I love sharing different people's perspectives on this show. I think it's what makes our our show so special and so powerful is to hear all the behind the scenes thought processes and all the things, and it's just fun to talk to people about their podcast, because you typically probably wouldn't get these questions.
Speaker 1:On other shows. People are like we don't really care about that as much, but we do here. We absolutely care about that here. But, remy, I want to go back to just behind the scenes of what your journey has been like, just as a creator in general, and how you've sought, I guess, resources from different places. Like, just tell me how that worked for you. Like, are you deciding one day, okay, I'm going to start a podcast, and then you're going to YouTube, you're maybe looking up books or you're listening to other podcasts. Like, what did that really look like for you? As you're cause you know, I know that you are excited to get this podcast up and running, but what actually made you say, okay, I'm going to take this seriously, I'm going to get this podcast Like it, like it's going to happen and be a thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I was, um, let's say uh, thinking a lot about starting it, because it was like, okay, whenever I started, I'm in my mind I need to commit to this, like having to do it every week or so. So I had these like super rigid thoughts that need to be a certain way. But this was not true, of course, but I had these thoughts, so I was like overthinking when to start it, because it was like, okay, it started, I need to keep going and not missing, and all that.
Speaker 2:And at some point I was listening to a lot of content like yours around creating podcasts and so on. So, and then I got the opportunity to work with a podcast manager and she has a service for launching a podcast. So she really helped me with all the process of the more technical side of things and deciding which hosting to use and all that. That was super handy because I didn't need to do all these research and then not knowing if I was making the right decision. So that that was really helpful and that, also because the opportunity came in, a certain way, was a way of putting a deadline to me, because then it's like, okay, if I want to use this opportunity, there is a timeline and I decided to go and use it, and so that was helpful as well. But yeah, I created like, like at the first stage was more about, okay, learning from others, a bit like YouTube and things like that, but then getting the help of someone was really useful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that this is something that, if anybody's listening right now, like if you're deciding if you want to have a podcast, or like is this the right thing for me? I cannot tell you how big an accountability partner like that piece, even if it's just someone to tell you oh, you should launch on this date.
Speaker 1:It doesn't have to be someone that walks you through step-by-step, or even hiring someone, like Remy did, to do like help you with the logistics and the backend, but just solidifying that date of when you're going to like hit the publish button and things will be live. And I think that that scares a lot of people, and it has it should. It's launching the thing right, it's putting it and it's a big deal. I hope that everyone celebrates when they launch their podcast, because it is a really big deal. But I found that so many people get caught up in the oh, I should do this or I can't launch until that's ready, and then they get caught in this cycle of thinking and overthinking and doing things. But just having that accountability of saying, nope, I'm going to launch on this specific date and I'm going to put it out into the world, it can just make all the difference. And actually, remy, I don't know that we covered this yet. When did you actually launch your podcast and how many episodes are you on right now?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I launched it in April 2024. And at the moment, I have 18 episodes. And these go back to the idea of I need to publish every whatever and. And that because I decided when I started, instead of doing weekly, I was going to do it like every two weeks, and then I was not even thinking about seasons or anything like that, and it was like just putting myself into these rules and all that is like at a certain point was like okay, I can do my own rules, I can do this in a way that makes sense for me and for my business, because these are podcasts related to a business, so it's not just something that I do as a hobby, but I need to think about, okay, what is the time that I am investing into this and all that? Right?
Speaker 2:So, just for the listener, just give yourself permission to think about what is the best way for you to start, because sometimes that's the thing that we need. Right, we need to start and then we figure it out and things can change. For example, I don't say in my podcast when it's going to be the next one. So if I want to change in the future, I will change it, and at the moment it's like every two weeks and it's okay, and at some point I needed to pause, but I am back. So you need to figure it out what makes sense to you, and there is not just one way of doing things. Just give yourself permission.
Speaker 1:I feel like you, you have been listening, you have been listening. That is. That is the thing that we do around here. It's like we've got to figure out what consistency looks like for you, because, at the end of the day, we want you to have a sustainable podcast, one that makes sense for you. So I'm so happy to hear that you found something that works for you, for your business, and that I mean when we're recording.
Speaker 1:This is not quite a year, but you're about to celebrate a full year of having your show and I think that that's so much fun. We will absolutely. You actually just gave me an idea. I'm like, ooh, we need to celebrate anniversaries in our community, cause that would be. How fun is that to celebrate with other people? But congratulations, I mean, you're coming up. It'll be a year before you know it, and I think that when you have those milestones, it just is like, oh my gosh. You look back at that day that you launched and you're like I can't believe I'm already here and this is like I've been doing this for that long. But I want to actually pivot into the Podcasters Connect community because I'm curious, knowing that there was kind of like a time of you podcasting before you had collaboration or like got feedback with other people or talk to other people. What does that look like for you? Or what is the community meant to you? Has there been anything specifically that's been helpful that you didn't have before you joined Podcasters Connect? I?
Speaker 2:think that the main thing is having a community that understands what you are going through.
Speaker 2:Or they have been there before and you can ask for support or for feedback. But also, yeah, that aspect of community and I know that you talk about this accountability and community, how big they are going to be and they have been, but this year especially be, and they have been, but this year especially and it's because when you might have a certain hesitant about something, you can go there and ask for feedback and just bonus ideas. So it's really good to feel that you have the, the support there. And then, in the other hand, like the, the content out, this, all this that you do, that are. I love them, because you can learn so much just by listening to what you are analyzing from others like, oh, I haven't thought about that, this something I need to pay attention, so this has been really useful. And then the workshops, of course, but I would say the main thing is the community itself, like having a group of people that you can, yeah, get like feedback and support from that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I love hearing this because I mean, that's just like it makes me so happy to hear all of these things, because that's really what we were dreaming about when we created this and I've talked about this a little bit not super detailed on the podcast, but previously we would have. I would have people reach out to me and they were asking me questions and I would think, gosh, there's probably seven other people that had this question, or people would reach out on Instagram or on a YouTube channel comment, and so it's like I was running a business without having like this community aspect, the way that what I think we have now is so powerful because it's not on, it's not a Facebook group where you can get. So I mean, I don't know about you, remy, but I get so easily distracted anytime I go into Facebook, even if I'm only going to one specific group. It's like you have to go in with your blinders and then, even then, you get sucked into something else. It's like wait, who's that? What did they say?
Speaker 1:I want to go check it out and I feel like with our community, like even today, right before this, you had said, oh, I don't know if I have the link, and right before this, like we, we were, uh, you had said, oh, I don't know if I have the link, and I was like, oh, okay, and then we were just DMing in the chat. But it's not, it doesn't feel invasive to me, like it doesn't feel like anyone's bothering me, whereas if I get pinged on Facebook and I'm not right in the head space to talk business or to talk that, because Facebook's one of those that's like, unless you've always run it as your business, like I'm pre-business on Facebook, so it just still feels like this weird thing. And I know people, when they reach out to me, feel that way too. Like, oh, I don't know if I should be messaging you. So all of that to say having our community is so special because we can be in conversation, like you can reach out to me, you can reach out to the group and ask questions and, like you said, the business audits are, um, those are just fun for me.
Speaker 1:If I'm being totally honest, what's one thing that you've heard in one of those that, like you said, it's something to think about or something that you wanted to implement in the future? Was there a specific piece of um, I guess a website audit or looking at content. What's something that stood out to you?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, you were analyzing, um, I remember now carrie's uh website about her episodes and there I I make notes because it's not just one thing, it's several things that you shared there on things to implement, because that's like a next step that I want to do, like creating an article for each of my episodes. So I was making all the notes because I don't have anything in place yet. So it was perfect timing for me because it's like, yeah, this is perfect because I am getting ready before, so I get the advice before starting, so I have my notes there. So when I am back to this idea, I will take my notes and just put them into place.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love hearing that, because I do. I think that it's something that you know, whatever stage of podcasting you're in, like there is something for everyone. Like we have people that have been podcasting almost as long as I've been podcasting and then we have folks that are just getting started and they're like I just want to, you know, have fun doing this and I want to connect, kind of like what you were saying earlier. It's like I want to hear from people that have been doing this. I want to hear you know kind of the ups and downs, the highs and lows, and I think that it's it's just such a fun group. I mean, of course I'm going to be biased because I love our community, but I just love hearing that other people are enjoying it too and they know that when they go there, like that's what you're getting. Like you're getting high quality people that are on the same journey as you and trying to accomplish really cool stuff and you can learn from each other.
Speaker 1:But I want to go back to your journey as a podcaster. It's funny because I listened to this podcast where they talk about um. It's a bunch of actors and someone is like a classically trained, like theater actor and so he always asked people like, do you have any like stories, like from behind the scenes or something that went crazy wrong? And I'm like I need to start asking my guests that so is there something that's been really memorable, that happened on your podcast journey so far that you're just like, oh my gosh, I need to tell everyone like don't do this or don't let this happen to you. Has that is, is there anything that comes to mind?
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I would say um, technical issues with the recordings and things like that, with the recordings and things like that. And then I have I use a tool for, like the captions, because for me it's really important to have the captions for the people that want to go and check it out. And this is something I go in a little tangent here, but when I was practicing my English and trying to improve my English, one of the things that I did was listening to Amy Porterfield's podcast, with the transcription that she has, and following that and learning expression and all that. So that was like learning about the topic but also practicing English at the same time. So, yeah, for me it's really important to have the captions right. So I have this automated tool, but sometimes it's sometimes off, so you need to review them and all that. So that's really important to me.
Speaker 2:And at some point and one of the episode was totally wrong I didn't get it and it's like, yeah, you need to check it out before going out. If this is something that is important to me to to have it, also for people that they cannot listen to the podcast, but they have the opportunity to go to YouTube, and Also for people that they cannot listen to the podcast, but they have the opportunity to go to YouTube and read the captions. I believe that that's like because I am all about repurposing I love I know that you love that as well. It's like, whenever you are doing some content if it's a podcast or whatever it is you want to repurpose that and you want that to get the most out of, like, the most impact possible. So, if you can use the same format in different ways and different applications so more people can get that information from them, yeah, I am all for that.
Speaker 1:I love that and I think that it's helpful, because I do I mean, even with all the things you can do now with AI, like having that transcription is so powerful as like a jumping off point for all the different ways that you can repurpose. So that's, yes, I totally agree. I think the transcripts are super, super important. What advice would you give people that are in the stage of just starting right now and we actually we'll, we'll we'll come back to that question here in a little bit but I just want to know, from the perspective of where you are today, like reflecting on the last year almost a year, sorry, let's, let's call it what it is the almost year it will be April soon enough but looking back, like what's been something that is just you're really proud of, like you're so proud to be sitting where you are today, having almost been doing this for a year, what's, what's the thing that really stands out to you?
Speaker 2:For me, is that how having this podcast has helped my confidence?
Speaker 2:Because one of the first thing is, whenever I had this idea for months, I was asking people to be a guest on a podcast that didn't exist.
Speaker 2:So it's just asking for a jump of faith and it's like, yeah, I'm creating this podcast, would you like to be a guest? And having asking all the people, and everyone says yes and that was like really something that touched me. Everyone that I have asked for they are so open, they are, they support the idea. Even if they don't have the capacity for calendar because of their calendar, they are supporting me and just like really appreciating the topics and the things that I do. So that was really something that helped me to keep encouraging me to do so and, at the same time, the feedback from the people that has been a guest saying that they are looking forward to listening to other people's interviews. That was before starting like publicly publishing the episodes. That was like, okay, this going well, uh. So yeah, it's a, it's a confirmation of, okay, what I have in my head, the idea that I have is something that could impact others and could be beneficial, not just the idea that I have, but others are going through this and supporting this idea.
Speaker 1:And what is it? Because I want to talk about. You touched on something really important there. So it's like that confirmation piece, that validation piece. What does that feel like for you? Because I'll share what that feels like for me. But I'd love to hear when someone says this was so good, remy, or I really enjoy your podcast, or they like send you a message and say this is really good what you're doing, like how does that make you feel Like? I know that's kind of like a weird question, but I don't know if you can share with a little bit about how that just makes you feel inside.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this stuff like fulfillment feeling and especially because, as I said before, my first goal with this is sharing this idea that your story matters, that your story is something powerful and it's going to help you, help your audience and your business, so it's really a win-win-win situation. So whenever I get this confirmation from outside, it's like yeah, you are in the right path. There are things to improve. Of course, there are million little details that can be done better, but still the main thought is there. There are a million little details that can be done better, but still the main thought is there and the idea why I started is going in that direction. So that's powerful.
Speaker 1:It is, and I don't know if this happens for you, but what I have found is that will happen on days when I need it the most, when I feel like I'm either questioning everything because y'all, I have doubts I have doubts too, when I'm doing stuff and I'm like, is this the right thing?
Speaker 1:Should I have created that episode or done that interview? And then I'll get a DM, or I get an email, or someone just says to me oh my gosh, I listened to this episode, it was so powerful and it really does For me. I feel like it happens on those days where I'm like I just don't know what I'm doing anymore, and then you get that email, you get that message, someone sends you something and you're like that's right, I'm supposed to keep, just like putting one foot in front of the other. It doesn't mean that Remy and I have all the solutions or all the answers, by no means, but it's just like that confirmation piece can be that lifeline to just keep going, just show up for that next episode, show up and record something else. But I'm just curious if that, if that, ever happens to you that way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and something is that also has been really um, like encouraging is receiving the, the feedback, as you say, the day that you need it, and also, um, as a way to to support you when you are like I'm not sure if I am. For me also also was about yeah, I have my doubts. I'm going back to the language. I had my doubts about how will feel for certain guests going to a podcast and maybe not if I am not clear on my questions or things like that. That was a concern for me and I'm glad and I'm proud that I keep going, even if that was a concern. But because the messages that I have received is like, yeah, maybe my words are not the right one every time, but the feeling and the conversation behind the conversation goes through the screen, so that's more important that if there is some word that I misspelled or said wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'm thinking about like that, like you're saying, the universal language of just transcending above all of that and then just having great conversations. It's so powerful, so powerful. Oh my gosh, I could ask you 17 million more questions about your show because I just think what you talk about particular like I love storytelling, like I said, we will link to if it, if it's live or whether it's not, like we will link to Remy's show. You're going to have to go check it out. But specifically, I want you to go listen to the episode that we did on her podcast, because it was such a fun conversation. We got into the deep, deep stories.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I shared stuff on the podcast that I hadn't shared before and they were just. It was so interesting. So I just want to congratulate you on having such a fun show but also being so great about pulling stories out of other people. So not just sharing stories yourself, but it felt so easy, so I'm just bragging on you now as a podcaster. It felt so easy to share my story on your show. So you have a very, very great way of interviewing and I just want to give you big kudos. So if you have questions, like am interviewer. You're an incredible interviewer. It was really really fun being on your show. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2:This means a lot to me, especially coming from you. I know I really like your way of having like just so natural and genuine conversations in your show, so it means a lot that you said that to me.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, yes, I'm like. I'm giving you all the big hearts. All the big hearts today. Well, you are not going to be a stranger to these, but we have some rapid fire questions that we ask all of our guests. So are you ready, remy? I think, so I think so. Maybe we'll see, okay, so what is a piece of advice that you would give to a brand new podcaster or content creator?
Speaker 2:I have this advice in general for everything related to business. It is simplify and focus. I know that it's easier said than done, but just try to keep it as simple as possible and get the next step.
Speaker 1:I love it, I love it. Okay, the next one is a two-part question. So what is the dream podcast you would love to be on and who is the dream guest you would love to interview? So, this.
Speaker 2:The first part is both of them. They are a really difficult question because there are so many good podcasts and so many interesting people to to interview, right, um. But I would say one of the podcasts that I I love and I really appreciate, um, her content is uh mistakes. That made me from iman ismail. I love how she's uh, first of all, the podcast, the structure, how she does these natural intros and all that. I love that from the nerdy podcaster perspective. And then again the conversations how it flows, the conversation, all of that. I love that. So it will be super interesting to be in the other side of the podcast and then someone to have an interview.
Speaker 2:I would love to have a conversation with Malala. She's from Pakistan. She's an activist of education rights, especially for girls and women. So I really appreciate her and her story and part of what she suffered an attack because of her sharing her story. So I feel that she now turning back that and sharing her story her main thing and helping others to raise their voices. I love the inspiration that she is for the world.
Speaker 1:I mean, those are both incredible. Incredible for a dream podcast to be on and a dream guest. I think those are. Those are really fantastic. Okay, my last question is do you consider yourself a perfectionist?
Speaker 2:I would say that I was more a perfectionist and now I am embracing experimenting as a way to avoid that and try to get progress over perfection and all that. But all these thoughts was like too high level and I didn't get. And then until someone said, yeah, I'm trying to play more and experiment. It's like that approach can work for my brain. Didn't get. And then until someone said, yeah, I'm trying to play more and experiment is like that approach can work for my brain. So I keep it. And yeah, when you are looking at things as an experiment, you are allowed to fail. You are allowed to just learning from the things. That doesn't go as you expected. So that has helped me a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that it's just, it's so much more fun. Think about like experimenting and think about like a little kid and you're giving them like some Play-Doh or slime or something and you're just like have fun, make a mess, Like that just sounds so much more fun than like like here you only get these blocks and they have to be perfect. You have to stack them this way, Like. That stresses me out just thinking about it. So I love your approach to like man, it's just it's fun to experiment. So I'm excited that you've adopted that approach because I think it's just more fun in general. But, Remy, this was so fun today and I'm so grateful that you joined us. Can you tell everyone where to learn more about you and check out your show? Yeah, of course.

Speaker 2:Thank you, this was amazing. So happy to be here.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, this conversation was so fun, so fun. Like I again I've said this before, I'm going to say it again I just have the luckiest job in the world that I get to sit around and just talk to creators about their stories and hear about their journey, because this I mean I could talk when we do these interviews. I could talk to you for three hours. So, remy, I just want you to know that I know you're listening to this. We could have gone on for three more hours of this show and I could have gone through every single detail and piece of your story, because that's how fun this is for me and I encourage anyone that's listening. If your content isn't fun, if it's not lighting you up the people that you're interviewing or the content that you're creating you're doing something wrong. Right? This is my tough love For those of you that are struggling with your content right now. It should not be that hard. You should enjoy the people that you are talking to. You should be excited when you see their name on your calendar as like oh, that's my interview for the day, or knowing that they're coming up. The preparation that you do to interview someone like all of those pieces should feel fun and exciting, and this episode today did not disappoint. Please go check out Remy. Go listen to her podcast.
