Podcasting is an evolving art, and this episode sheds light on the beauty of spontaneity in this creative medium. Kevin discusses removing safety nets and the personal and professional development that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone.

The absence of the ability to edit in real time, as is possible in the post-production of a podcast, prepares you for the raw, unfiltered experience of live speaking engagements. Use your show to build the skills necessary for speaking on stage, where there are no safety nets, and every stumble is an opportunity for growth.
