Over the weekend, I embarked on a nostalgic task going through a decade’s worth of paperwork, as a result I discoved my very first podcast brief which I wrote in 2016.
This was the blueprint for what would become “The Sports Industry Access Podcast,” later refined to “The Sports Career Podcast.”
I vividly recall attending a conference in Singapore in 2019 where I delivered my first Sports Career Workshop. When someone asked me the name of my podcast, I replied, “The Sports Industry Access Podcast.” Observing their body language, I realized the name was too long. During my flight back from Dubai to the UK, I decided to simplify and rename it to “The Sports Career Podcast” clear and to the point.
Reflecting while I write this post here are three valuable lessons I’ve learned from this experience:
1.Execute Over Perfection: The excitement of executing an idea often outweighs the pursuit of perfection. Over the years, while my vision remained steadfast, the ex*****on has evolved through feedback and simplification.
2.Embrace Simplicity: In today’s fast-paced online world, simplicity is an art. Refining the podcast’s name taught me the power of clear and direct communication.
3. Reflect and Learn: Rediscovering my podcast brief was a powerful reminder of the journey and growth. Reflection is crucial for appreciating progress and learning from past experiences.
I’m grateful for this reflection on my podcast journey and the insights it has provided. Here’s to embracing simplicity and executing our visions with passion!
