Welcome to episode 444 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Sally Zimney.

Overcoming Fear, Judgment, Imposter Syndrome, and Perfection as an Entrepreneur

Have you ever felt a sense of fear, judgment, imposter syndrome, or a need for perfection as a food creator? Assuming this is a rhetorical question because… who hasn’t?! That’s why we asked Sally Zimney to join us on the podcast — she’s a professional speaker with a Master’s Degree in Persuasion (!!).

In this interview, Bjork and Sally talk about the power of speaking and why it’s so important as an entrepreneur. Sally explains how to overcome the mental barriers that might be holding you back from trying something new.

It’s a really inspiring and thought-provoking interview — we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• More about Sally’s professional journey (and how it overlapped with Bjork’s)!
• The importance of finding your professional ‘playground.’
• How Sally empowers people to leverage the power of speaking.
• How she defines “speaking” (spoiler alert: you don’t need to be an extrovert to be a speaker).
• How to overcome fear, judgment, imposter syndrome, and perfection when it comes to trying new things.
• How and why AI might impact our desire for human connection and imperfection.
