Atom-Splitting

Megan Ihnen has somehow been able to split something more difficult than an atom. The space between being a joyous, bubbly, and delightful voice while somehow avoiding the "everything is great and you just need to manifest" gaslighting so prominent in the industry is seemingly microscopic, yet Megan has moved into her place and pulled in a chair for you to sit with her.

For years I've been listening to this podcast, originally completely uninterested as a brass player. Megan's micro-actions are condensed, clear, and specific tasks that you can do this week to move just a little further along the success road. Her Fri-Yay topics, somewhere else on the internet should be sold for at least $15 each. They delve into serious topics, each seemingly more helpful than the last.

She is a keen interviewer, helping her guests open up to revel what is most helpful to listeners, and it is hard to feel pessimistic when she is in my headphones. Thank you, Megan, for this valuable resource!
