Summary
Ammi Midstokke has been on this podcast more than anyone else, and this episode is probably the most honest one yet. It starts with a conversation about why Kenny can't get people to come on his podcast — nobody thinks they have anything worth saying — and spirals out into why that's wrong, what imposter syndrome actually is versus what it isn't, what writing for a living actually looks like, how she left her nutrition clinic to go full-time creative, and the Selkirk Mountain Writing Retreat she's building in Sandpoint for October. There's also a detour through her childhood on a typewriter, her dad asking if she actually gets paid for this, and a very good observation about why a real imposter never asks whether they're an imposter. This one runs long. It earns it.
