There's a skill that separates those who make an impact from those who stay stuck in preparation mode. It's not about having the perfect setup, the biggest audience, or even the wildest story. It's about showing up, speaking, and letting your voice do the work of transformation, both for you and for the people listening. Rae breaks down who should start a podcast, when to start, and why the soft ROI might be the most important return of all. She also gets honest about when you shouldn't start, what you actually need to get going, and how this one discipline can prepare you for everything God is calling you to do next. If you've been sitting on a story, a message, or a calling that won't leave you alone, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start speaking.

He doesn't want us to be big. If we were big enough to carry out the dream, we wouldn't need Him." – Elaine Lankford [00:08:34] "Hold on because you are just in the refiner's fire, and you can't see it when you're going through it. He's not trying to crush you. He's trying to perfect you." – Elaine Lankford [00:10:15] "You can do it afraid, and if you trust, He will catch you on the other side. Now He'll make you nervous.
