Voices of Disruption with Deborah Olatunji

You Need To Bet On Yourself \/\ Why I Started The VOD POD Community

Deborah Olatunji Season 1 Episode 4
What is an idea or goal that you wake up thinking about? What resources exist in your network, whether that be people, experiences, skills, and projects, do you feel inspired by daily? How are you working towards building a life of impact? And how do you turn the fear of starting into a solid bet on your potential?

In this episode, Deborah takes the time to explain the story of the creation of this podcast. It started as a suggestion from a friend a year ago, but the journey that it has taken to invest in the design and genesis of this community forced Deborah to take a bet on herself. Deborah recalls the people that she has meant along the way, her podcast sisterhood, coach Adrienne, and more. She breaks down the feeling of an idea being “good enough” and how powerful the follow button is on social media. Podcasting is a slow burn and just like any idea, if you want to explore and build a community, you have to take a chance on yourself first. In this episode, you will learn about the “why” behind the creation of the Voices of Disruption Podcast Community and how it will become a launching point for your ability to believe in your potential. If you’re looking for a deep and thoughtful reflection on the power of “We vs. Me” and “Us vs. Myself” when leaning into the fear of starting something new, then this is the episode for you!
