3 Big Takeaways:
- It’s good to stretch beyond your comfort zone: “You can do ‘extroverted things,’ even as an introvert.”
- It’s ok to hype yourself, and be happy for yourself: “We choose to celebrate our (introverted) selves.”
- Especially now, having something positive to focus on is necessary: “It’s important to have a passion project that has nothing to do with your day to day job…Something that you find inspiring and empowering, that you know is reaching people.”
5 Key Quotes:
- “Although we need a lot of time to recharge after recording (because introversion), it has been, and is very fulfilling.”
- “Being an introvert and doing video is hard, but we are persisting.”
- “The post-production takes most of the time.”
- “It’s great to have the freedom to talk about whatever we want.”
- “Podcasting is a great way to widen your circle. It’s a safe way for introverts to network, because the connections happen naturally.”
