In this episode, K+L share what it really takes to create a podcast that lasts. From recording awkward early episodes on a $15 mic to building Almost 30 into a global brand and loyal community, they open up about the behind-the-scenes realities of starting a podcast in 2026. They dive into what actually makes a podcast stand out in today’s world, why personality matters more than ever in the age of AI, and how your voice and story become your biggest advantage. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” to share your message, this episode is your sign to start. K+L also open up about the identity shifts, self-doubt, nervous system regulation, video anxiety, and growing pains that no one talks about.
