Melba Tellez on Kicking Perfection to the Curb and Launching Her Podcast with a Strong Strategy
It’s time to say adios to perfection and say hola to leaning into your strengths when it comes to launching your podcast!
I’m so excited to share with you that my dear amiga and client, Melba Tellez is joining me today to talk about pushing aside perfection when she worked with me to launch her branded podcast, Mujeres on the Rise.
Perfection often times stops you from starting an amazing chapter and podcasting might feel intimidating from all the many elements it takes to launch and produce or even wanting to strive to be in a certain level to share your voz to your audience.
It’s time to kick perfection to the curb and remind you that you have unique strengths and skills that you can use when launching your podcast.
In this fifth episode of Ellas Amplifies, which by the way is my FIRST in-person interview since March 2020, Melba and I talk from Podcast Movement in Los Angeles about her experience of putting on her marketing hat when she and I worked together to start and launch Mujeres on the Rise to share her knowledge about discovering your purpose in order to rise in your career and life.
We also talk about the big achievement Mujeres on the Rise had due to launching with a strong podcast strategy and the benefits of having a podcast to deepen the trust she has with her comunidad.
She also reveals the next topic of the second season of Mujeres on the Rise, so you don’t want to miss this powerful episode!
Listen now so you can close the door on perfection and start your podcast with a strong strategy that will connect with your audience!
