About this episode
Paden Bhutia shares his personal journey of nearly 7 years and 200 episodes of podcasting, discussing the challenges of self-doubt and the importance of consistency in pursuing creative projects.
In this special episode of the Action-Ables Podcast, Paden steps away from the usual coaching techniques and shares something far more personal — the real story behind nearly 7 years and 200 episodes of podcasting . What began in 2019 as a small experiment amid low confidence, uncertainty, and self-doubt slowly grew into a journey of consistency, creativity, and personal transformation. Paden opens up about the inner voice that tells us we’re not ready, the discouragement of creating content when no one seems to be listening, and the quiet power of staying consistent even when results don’t come quickly. If you're thinking about starting something — a podcast, a side hustle, a creative project, or pursuing a bold life goal — this episode is a reminder that confidence doesn’t come before action. It comes because of it. You’ll learn why the voice in your head isn’t always your best advisor, why contrast and challenges are part of the creative journey, and why persistence might be the most underrated skill for building anything meaningful. After almost 200 episodes, Paden shares why this podcast is just getting started — and invites you to reflect on the goals you're still waiting…
