80: Your Only Competition Is Yourself

Ashley Corbo
About this episode
In today's episode, I talk about my experience with comparing my time in the podcast space to others. As I've compared my journey to others, I've noticed that the only time I find myself doubting my abilities is when I'm putting them up against others. In this episode, I talk about comparison and its negative effects on you, Bevy Smith's "Take a Note, Give a Note" and how the only real competition you have is yourself.
