First Draft Club

I don't want to start a podcast

BUT:
- I'd love an excuse to chat with more interesting people
- I already interview people for a living
- I think creating content + building an audience is great for future opportunities

Focus on verbs, not nouns

I am having much more success writing now that I _write every week_ instead of trying to have _a newsletter_

This is part of the reason why I am reluctant to have _a podcast_, even though I am excited by _talking to new people_

Figure out what gives you energy and purpose, then focus on doing it for its own sake. Don't let the work evolve into a noun that distracts you from the verb.

As @pmillerd puts it in his new book, you have to protect your Good Work.

Updated thinking about starting a podcast:

Going to take my own advice on “verbs, not nouns” (https://warpcast.com/markfishman/0x0575f181) and focus on conversations instead of the output of the conversations

To give myself a constraint (where to start?) I’m going to be reaching out to /firstdraft members for coffee chats

Added benefit is making deeper connections in my cozy corner and learning how to help those people achieve their writing goals
