In this episode I talk about how I went from having appeared on a handful of podcasts (and feeling pretty nervous/anxious about them) to appearing on A LOT of podcasts, and feeling really relaxed about the whole thing. That is, I talk about my 100 Podcasts Challenge, which I am working on in 2022. [On that, if you have a podcast or know someone who does, and would love me as a guest, I really need help - I'm on 70 with about two months to go. Please get in touch!!]

It's about the power of an outrageous goal and taking focused action, and it's about how I coped when the challenge got overwhelming. I talk about the benefits and insights I've taken away from the challenge and more. I reference Episode 3 quite a few times, as I used a lot of my learnings from building my coaching business, as you'll hear.

Here's the page to learn more about the challenge, listen to many of the shows I've been on (including those I mention) and more: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challenge

I'm so grateful to everyone who's supported me with the challenge, in particular all the amazing podcast hosts who have had me on their shows. Please do go out of your way to support those shows - people are doing amazing, creative things in the podcasting space and the world is better for it. 

In particular, here's Michael Chaffin's new show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ApIAI6MB8h9Pxo89AWBIZ?si=A4jR3OtUT82hWT8ERTGQ7Q (Michael was, if I remember correctly, the first person to ever have me on a podcast)

And here's Cat Preston's show, where I had the Who am I to do this? insight: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-dxhf6-11b1225

About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination, become more productive and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done. And hoping that whatever you take away from each episode might help you get your idea off the ground and out into the world.
