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

Great approach! Focusing on conversations over the output sounds like a solid plan. Best of luck with reaching out to /firstdraft members for coffee. Enjoy the process!
