5 Years of Podcasting. Still Not Sure I'm Qualified. | Cheryl Lau
For five years, I've been podcasting. Side Hustle Club. Thought Leader Club. Now EDIT HISTORY. And for most of that time, I built it while quietly wondering if I was actually qualified to do any of it. In this episode, my friend Rae Fung interviews me - and we go deep into the parts that don't show up in the highlights: why I rebranded twice, what I learned when my most casual episode outperformed my most carefully crafted one, and how I kept saying yes to opportunities I felt completely unready for. TIMESTAMPS   (00:00) Trailer (00:49) Opening  (03:11) What “success” and credibility meant in the early days (06:13) External validation vs internal motivation (09:43) Advice and templates that didn’t actually fit (12:29) The moment Cheryl realized where her real value was (16:09) What she’s most proud of from the early iterations (18:29) Letting people into the thought process behind the work (23:49) Seeing Cheryl’s thought process  (26:39) The fears and resistance behind going all-in on podcasting (31:16) What Cheryl wants to deepen and sharpen in 2026 (34:38) What Cheryl is working on deepening in 2026  (36:51) A message to little Cheryl (37:52) If every body of work has a draft - what’s the current one?
