A short YouTube interview (recorded Oct 5, 2022) in which Mark Simpson and a guest discuss early podcasting advice. The core recommendation: avoid overplanning—treat episodes like natural conversations rather than tightly scripted interviews to preserve authenticity and energy.
What's the one piece of advice that you wish you had received before starting the podcast?
Don't overthink it. I think the one thing that I went into is like, trying to really plan out every episode and research a guest and really have all the questions. And when we started trying to do it that way, things just became stale and it just wasn't as authentic. And I think that if someone had told me before, like, just go in like you're normally having a conversation and don't overthink it, it comes out so much more natur.
