Welcome to the show.
Had an amazing chat with my dear friend Will Otero from Pennsylvania - a Brooklyn boy who's become my podcasting mentor and guide. We connected a couple years back, and his journey has been nothing short of inspiring.
Will started podcasting in 2020 during the pandemic after being furloughed. What began with a $160 Amazon podcasting studio and his nephew has grown into a media empire including Stuck in My Mind Podcast, RealWise TV, and now RealWise Publishing.
Key Points
• Start imperfect, improve consistently - Will's nephew wanted to scrap their first episode, but Will insisted on releasing it to show the journey
• Put love into your craft - Whether cooking or podcasting, people can tell when you're genuinely passionate vs. just going through motions
• Relationships over monetization - Building authentic connections worldwide matters more than immediate financial returns
• Skills compound unexpectedly - Podcasting led to video editing, book publishing, and speaking opportunities
• Imposter syndrome is universal - You don't need letters after your name; real-world experience and genuine desire to help others matters
The ONE Thing
Coach thyself moment: You don't have to be miles ahead of someone to help them - just one or two steps so they can see the path. The magic happens when you put love into your craft and show up authentically.
