Why Over-40s Struggle with Social Media: Overcoming Fear to Launch Your Podcast, YouTube Channel, or Newsletter

The Jim Kroft Podcast

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Podcast!

If you're considering starting a Podcast, Newsletter, or YouTube channel, this episode is especially for you.

Today, we're exploring a topic that is deeply personal and resonates with many:
"Why Over-40s Struggle with Social Media."

Over the past two years, I've intentionally embraced social media as a way to reach my audience - and to distribute the ideas of my pillar content of:

• Newsletter
• Podcast
• YouTube

It's been a journey which has included unexpected reactions—especially from peers in their 40s.

Some responses have been supportive, while others have left me feeling misunderstood. These experiences have taught me invaluable lessons that I want to share with you.

We'll explore the fears that hold us back, the judgments we face, and, more importantly, how to overcome them.

Here are some key takeaways you won't want to miss:

🎙️ Embracing Your Voice: Why your unique experiences are your greatest asset in the digital space.
🎯 Facing Judgment Head-On: Dealing with those sideways glances and comments when you put yourself out there.

⏳ No Time Like the Present: Why it's never too late to start something new.

🧱 Breaking Down Barriers: How to overcome the fears that keep you from hitting that "publish" button.

🤗 Making Real Connections: Focusing on meaningful interactions over chasing numbers.

🔄 Redefining Success: Viewing success as an ongoing journey of learning and staying open to life

Thank you for the ongoing support everyone - if you'd like to support, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could leave a rating and review for the podcast.

If you're ready, then let's dive in,

Jim
