Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going camping and, um, a few days and it hit me. Oh, no, I've got to have pod cast episodes teed up and ready for Friday. So I got to have my, I have to have my interview published for, for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I've got to publish four episodes, have them ready, batch publishing. I'm not sure quite what the term is after publishing 287 episodes. That's how many episodes I've published. There'll be 300 by the time you hear this, which is pretty awesome, but I am going camping to step away from it all for three days up in Mammoth, we'll be doing 10 miles a day. So we'll probably clock 20 to 30 miles in three days. So that'll be super fun. Mammoth, Mammoth lakes, June lakes up in, um, by, uh, where is that in California? Kinda, um, past Whitney and all that.
Mischa Z: 01:22 So very excited to get away and do all that. Um, I was on a couple of things I wanted to discuss. I'm trying to get in the habit of say what you're going to say. Say it then say what you've said. So where was I? Oh my gosh, I already lost track. Can't even tell you what I was going to say. So I could say it and then tell you what I said, um, has tremendous insecurities about my podcast. And I was just doing a little journaling, a little prayer, you know, writing and such, and the thought came, don't worry about your podcast. Keep at it, just keep at it. I've been thinking a lot about finding my voice. People talk about they have found their voice or they're finding their voice or, or Russell Brunson is like just publish every day and soon enough you'll find your voice.
Mischa Z: 02:29 And I'm thinking, what the heck does that even mean? Find your voice because I definitely don't know if I'm any closer to finding my voice. However, I believe I got a glimmer, a glimpse of finding my voice today. So I was interviewed for a summit, the forgiveness zone subnet, I think it was called the forgiveness, something summit, forgiveness, something summit. Um, and I felt like ego ugly. I did good. Like the Connie who interviewed me was, was excited. I felt like, like she, she felt like whatever she was looking for, I was able to provide. Good insights, good content, good conversation, good content for her summit listeners. And so I worked hard on telling some stories, having specific, actionable, you know, a framework to work with some, some tactics strategy and then a tactic. And then, um, you know, also try and reference, you know, where I learned some things, so who I learned things from.
Mischa Z: 03:52 So I think that I was getting a glimpse of finding my voice appropriate stories at the appropriate times. And then I was on this podcast today. I got interviewed for somebody's podcast, Shereen Wilson's inner mind podcast, and Shareen's super cool NLP, um, hypnotherapy. Um, she's good about, uh, nutrition, but definitely in her mind stuff. And she was very excited about the conversation that we had after it, and very much enjoyed the stories that I told. And I tried to tell stories. I was like, all right, tell some stories to highlight your point. You know, um, I guess as Russell Brunson would say how you've learned it and earned it and you, no, I definitely felt like I had this moment of, I think I'm finding my voice was so fleeting, whatever that thought was or idea was, has since slipped away, but that's all right.
Mischa Z: 05:13 The habit for a moment was super cool. And I think sort of what finding your voices perhaps is being able to be meaningful in my conversation, be useful of service, helpful, you know, like getting a little bit closer to what is my niche. Um, but as I've said, many times on this podcast, I have been in recovery for decades three and a half decades. And it started for me when I was very young. You know, recovery took hold for me when I was 17 years and nine months old. And it's been, you know, sobriety ever since lots of been very active in recovery in 12 steps.
Mischa Z: 06:02 And what was really cool as I've made a commitment to try to bring that, those stories that lens of my life, two audiences that normally wouldn't get to hear it, I guess, is how I would say it. So it was fun to tell a stories that I might normally tell in a different environment, in a new environment to a new audience. And it felt like the path was really good. And so that was really empowering, I suppose, is the word I would say, or again, a moment of, oh, maybe I am finding my voice to have somebody to have those stories resonate, the poignant, carry a message, carry learning for somebody where I was able to teach and give somebody insights outside of the normal environment that I would present those stories to was very cool. So very excited about that.
Mischa Z: 07:24 Um, that was one thing I wanted to talk about there. I'm not doing a good job of what I was going to talk about what I talked about and then you get it. So another really cool thing I've been meaning to, you know, I just was able to let go of a lot of expectations and a lot of, um, need to be done or need to have this done. Or I was feeling a lot of pressure coming out of the summit of needing to have email sequences done. And that's really funny, man. I I've been wanting to get this email out to the summit audience about, Hey, it was recommended to me that the first email you can send that should be easy as, Hey, I've got this podcast, listen, check it out, follow subscribe. Well, it took me 10 days to get that email out.
Mischa Z: 08:33 I finally, well, I've got it prepped. It's ready to go. And now I just, my who and active campaign need to cooperate with me so it can go out, but effectively it's written and teed up in the sequence, but I woke up this morning convicted. I just knew in my heart, you're getting this done day today. Just get it done, get it teed up, get it ready. And um, I guess I want to, what I'm going to say in that regard is I knew that it was going to get done, that it was okay. That it's all right. That it took 10 days instead of one day. Um, what else? Just this pressure it's like this pressure valve was released. It was just like, it's all okay. Like you're where, you're where you're supposed to be. You're learning what you need to learn and you are where you are and you can, yeah, you can take extremely messy, messy action and still be, I dunno if productive is the right word, but carry a message effective.
Mischa Z: 09:53 There we go. Still be effective. So just internalizing that at least in the moment feels really, really good. Um, so there you have it. I talked about, um, camping, so excited, kind of have these E uh, episodes teed up and ready to go. Um, I feel like at least I've had glimmers of finding my voice glimpses of finding my voice via speaking on a summit and somebody else's podcast. So that's kind of fun. And uh, yeah, I got that last. I got my email, my email to the summit audience finally is done the first one. It took me 10 days versus one. Anyhow, hopefully the next email will take a day. Peace out, everybody enjoy the ride.
