Introduction to 'Vulnerability Muscle' Podcast

00:00:05
Speaker
Welcome, welcome, welcome to Vulnerability Muscle, the empowering podcast that challenges societal norms and invites you to explore the transformative power of vulnerability. I'm your host, Reggie D.

Facing Fears in Podcasting

00:00:19
Speaker
Ford. I've been wanting to start this podcast for some time now, but I'll be honest, there is a lot of fear in doing this.
00:00:28
Speaker
I've been on many podcasts. I've been interviewed several numerous countless times. And that part has gotten easier for me. If you want to see any of my podcasts where I'm featured as the guest, go to Reggie D Ford dot com slash press. And there's a whole list of things that you can hear from me.
00:00:49
Speaker
But on this side of it, for whatever reason, there was a lot of imposter syndrome.

Advice on Overcoming Fears

00:00:54
Speaker
There was a lot of fear in, um, just being on this side of the microphone on the side of the camera and interviewing guests. And just thinking that who, who would listen to my podcast? But I heard something by one of my friends, Festus Zeelee, former pro basketball player.
00:01:14
Speaker
Uh, he, he shared something with me that, well, he shared it with the world, but I, I resonated with it and it, he, he said his publicist told him, what if we just go out and make the worst podcast ever?

Excitement for Upcoming Interviews

00:01:26
Speaker
And I heard that and all of the anxiety and the fear that I had with stepping into making a podcast kind of just went away. And so I started recording, started recording guests. I'm so excited for y'all to hear these guests because they are absolutely fantastic.

The Role of Vulnerability in Life

00:01:42
Speaker
And yeah, just if you are new to me, to my platform,
00:01:47
Speaker
I am the author of the bestselling book, Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, where I take my life's experiences in a very vulnerable way and I share that with the world through the lenses of mental health and social justice. And so, since publishing that book, I realized that vulnerability
00:02:07
Speaker
which had often been looked at as a weakness in my life and in the lives of many others, was actually a strength. It helped me to heal a lot of the wounds that I had dealt with my entire life. It helped me to build deeper connections with people who I've known for
00:02:25
Speaker
15, 20 plus years. And it also just helps with building resilience and really truly understanding and connecting people.

Encouraging Engagement and Sharing

00:02:35
Speaker
And so I felt that there was no better platform than to share some of the very heartfelt conversations that I have with people to you all. And so I am excited.
00:02:47
Speaker
I don't want to talk too much on this, but I want you to really embrace vulnerability and understand that there's a shift happening. Vulnerability is strength and you can find it by flexing your vulnerability muscle. And that's what we're going to do in each and every episode. Please like, subscribe, review, share this podcast with whomever you think
00:03:13
Speaker
can gain some insight from it. I hope that you do and I hope that you stick around. Thank you for embracing vulnerability with me and joining this family. Appreciate it.
