This is one of our favorite podcast episodes yet, and we had so much to say that we split it into two parts! This week is Part 1 of "Climbing Cringe Mountain," which is what we affectionately like to call showing up on social media - when it feels salesy, when you think you look try-hard, when you realize you look different on camera than in the mirror, when you wonder what your friends from high school are thinking as they watch you lip-sync your own song on your iPhone, when your amounts of likes and pre-shares don't reflect all the work you hoped would pay off by now - that's what we call climbing cringe mountain.

No matter what kind of art or even business you're in, climbing cringe mountain is the only way (with maybe a few rare unicorn exceptions), and we're here to comfort you that you can conquer your own cringe, and that it will be worth it (and maybe eventually enjoyable in the end).
