How did you overcome it?" – Kyle Stanley 20:35 – "When do other people's opinions matter? – Oscar Cazun 25:35 – "How do you know when to let go of a non-compliant direction? Meaning if you have a goal and you're in a specific route to the goal but it no longer can get you there or it is not the most efficient way to reach the goal but you don't want to let go of all the hard work you put into it so you keep pushing forward. When do you know it's time to let it go?" – Devin Weaver 3 Key Points: When starting a podcast, the #1 thing is content, everything else is secondary.
