Ever wonder what it really takes to start your own podcast? In this laughter-filled, nostalgia-driven episode, Charles and Tyra dig deep into their own podcasting origin stories — from chaotic first recordings and questionable mic setups to lessons learned after years behind the mic. Whether you’re dreaming of hitting “record” for the first time or have a dusty podcast project sitting on your hard drive, this episode gives you the truth about procrastination, passion, and persistence.
You’ll hear how Be Awesome Together itself grew from trial, error, and friendship — and why podcasting is less about perfection and more about connection. They share stories of roof collapses, Taco Bell therapy, and why sometimes the hardest part is just pressing “record.” If you’ve ever said, “One day, I’ll start my podcast,” this is your sign that today is that day.
Actionable Items
🎙️ Start with what you have. Don’t wait for the perfect mic or studio—just record and learn as you go.
🗓️ Be consistent. Even one episode a month builds momentum and accountability.
💡 Find your format. Structure your show so hitting “record” feels easy and repeatable.
🤝 Collaborate smart. Choose co-hosts or partners who complement your energy and schedule.
🌐 Own your space. Buy your show’s URL before someone else does—you’ll thank yourself later.

“Hit the record button. Even if you’re the only one listening at first, that’s perfectly fine. Do you, boo.”
