So I know in a serialized podcast you expect to keep moving forward in time, but today we're going to do something a little different.

I'm going to give you a flashback episode, where we reflect on how we got to this point.

What sparked this idea? where we reflect on how we got to this point.

What sparked this idea?

A conversation that I recently had with Mike on the last episode.

He's a coworker of mine from the restaurant.

Like how can you look at me and say you won't get stuck when I feel like I'm constantly battling that? I can look at you and say that you won't get stuck because you are not being paid to be sitting here right now with me

recording this interview and yet you're doing it

But what Mike doesn't know is that Making millennial has been one of the hardest things I've ever done.

I'm your host Megan Tan, you're listening to I cannot believe it the fourth

episode of millennial a podcast series about what no one really teaches you how to maneuver your 20s captured in real time.

Today I'm going to tell you the origin story behind making this podcast because starting

something on your own comes with anxiety, fear, and provokes a

love-hate relationship that you have with yourself.

And the question is, how do you stop yourself from becoming your worst enemy when it comes to pursuing the things that you actually want?

We'll start here. At this point I've told my close family and friends that I want to become a professional radio producer. The problem is I've never actually

made radio before. Sure I've created a lot of audio-driven short documentaries and I was

extremely fortunate to intern at WNY's radio lab.

But during that time I never actually produced a radio piece.

So when I would tell people my professional goals,

I kind of felt like a fraud because I didn't really have anything

to show. I knew in my gut that I would have to make something. That's when the idea of making millennial surfaced.
