Ever wondered how to build a podcast that’s real, raw, AND ridiculously funny? In this episode, I sit down with my good friends Caleb and Levi, the creators of the That’s How You Feel podcast — and let’s just say, things get hilariously real REAL fast. 😂

From going viral over a conversation about kiwis (yes, kiwis) to navigating harsh internet comments, Caleb and Levi open up about:

• How to start a podcast without all the fancy equipment
• Why authenticity is scary but powerful
• What it’s like to grow a show from scratch
• The worst (and wildest) internet comments they’ve received
• Creating content that’s relevant without losing yourself in trends

We talk about building your brand your way, finding your voice, handling criticism, and why sometimes the smallest moments (like a Costco trip!) become the biggest stories. If you’re a creator, podcaster, or someone who’s just trying to be bold and show up as yourself — this one’s for you.

👀 Plus, Caleb reveals why he really wants to be famous (spoiler: it's the money 😂), Levi drops wisdom about grief and growth, and we all agree that confidence is key—even when you’re wearing questionable jeans.

🎧 Tune in. Laugh with us. Learn from us. And be reminded that your voice matters.
