The Boy Scout motto is: Be Prepared. This applies to every situation in life and it also applies to podcast recording sessions.
When I say be ready at least 5-10 minutes before each session, I mean be COMPLETELY ready to go, now, right now.
One of the worst things you can do is show up late, unprepared, and then make everyone else wait while you set up equipment, change various settings, turn off your phone, and get some water, etc.
It shows respect to everyone else involved when you are PREPARED.
It’s not difficult, either. And it will eliminate all those anxious feelings you feel when you show up last minute unprepared. That peace of mind alone is priceless 😉
