This is a YouTube video titled "This Podcast Appearance Forced Me to Beat Imposter Syndrome #podcasting #mindset #success" (uploaded March 4, 2024). The excerpt is a first-person monologue in which the speaker recounts how they became a guest on a podcast after supporting the host and their team, feeling imposter syndrome when the show booked high-profile guests (the "Gymshark guy"), and ultimately being invited to record around season 6 or 7. The speaker shares behind-the-scenes detail (including a humorous pigeon incident at Paddington Station). The content is narrative/reflective rather than a multi-person, diarized conversation.

Chapters

So he starts Deep Dive. His first guest was the Gymshark guy, and my heart sank. I was like, I'm little old imposter syndrome, right, Matt? Even a fearless business coach, right? So my heart sank because I was like, oh God, if he's getting guests on at that level, what chance do I stand? So I just continued on that process, being helpful, helping his team, getting to know his team, meeting up with him when I could and various other things like that. And I didn't ask. I waited until the right time. And then how it transpired was, I think it was that they were up to about season 4 or 5, and I reached out to his podcast manager and I just said, listen, I know you're about to record series 6 and 7 and Ali's going travelling. Can you put me on the subs bench? Actually, a week later on the Thursday, I got a call to record on the Tuesday. Do you know what the first thing that happened was when I got off the train down to London on that Tuesday? Walked out of Paddington Station— this is behind the scenes, right— and I got pooped on by a pigeon.
