Exactly three years ago, I launched a podcast, fueled by equal parts excitement and massive imposter syndrome.
Growing up, “talks excessively in class” was a permanent fixture on my report cards. Teachers moved my seat because I was “disruptive.” I was constantly told to stop asking so many questions so the lesson could move forward. Fast forward to today: I spend my time interviewing industry leaders across high-end, commercial, and legacy brands.
As someone who never quite fit the “mainstream” mold in the independent design community, stepping into the host seat felt risky. But bringing that exact background to the microphone is what made the conversations real, raw, and authentic.
If there was ever poetic justice, this is it. To anyone currently being told they’re “too much” of something: double down. Your disruptive trait might just be your biggest competitive edge.
