DAILYdEPOSITS Podcast 003
Summary
In this episode, we reflect on what it’s been like launching the Daily Deposits podcast—and all the lessons that came with it. We talk about imposter syndrome, learning to slow down, how yoga humbled one of us real quick, and why teaching has been one of the scariest (and most fulfilling) new experiences.
I also share how teaching jiu-jitsu is helping me prepare for something I’ve always wanted to do: teach hair. And Troy talks about why it’s hard to train someone when you’re not even sure what you know. This convo goes deep on leadership, patience, ego, and why every good teacher is also a student.
Topics We Covered
- Getting over the nerves of launching Episode 1
- Yoga, humility, and learning to slow down
- Teaching jiu-jitsu and how it connects to teaching in the barbershop
- Why ego blocks growth
- How “daily deposits” are playing out in our lives—especially through movement, teaching, and reflection
- Why we’re excited to bring on guests and hear new perspectives
Quote That Hit:
“Teaching forces you to revisit what you know—and explain it in a way that makes sense to someone who doesn’t.”
