How to Not Be Cringe | Naja Faysal & Diana Melgar, Parrots Lab Media
<p>In this episode, Naja Faysal and Diana Melgar talk about something a lot of people struggle with but few admit openly… being afraid to show up on camera.</p><p>They break down why it is so important to stop worrying about looking “cringe” and start creating anyway. If you are trying to grow your content, your personal brand, or your business, this mindset shift is everything. Showing your face, sharing your voice, and putting yourself out there is uncomfortable at first, but that is exactly where growth starts.</p><p>Naja and Diana share how they personally got over that fear, how they trained themselves to feel more natural on camera, and what helped them build confidence over time. They also talk about the reality that everyone starts somewhere. No one is perfect at the beginning.</p><p>They dive into the idea that criticism often comes from people who are not willing to take that same leap. When you are trying something new and putting yourself out there, you are already ahead of most people.</p><p>This episode is also a look into their journey as the founders of Parrots Lab Media, how they are building their brand together, and what it is like growing a business as a married couple.</p><p>If you have been holding back from creating content because of fear or overthinking, this conversation will push you to just start, stay authentic, and go for it.</p><p></p>

Naja Faysal & Dyiana on Getting HATE and Not Quitting
<p>The video is an episode of the "Taking the Leap" podcast, featuring Diana and Naja. The main topic of the episode is dealing with hateful messages and cyberbullying that the hosts have recently started receiving as content creators.</p><p><br></p><p>Key points discussed:</p><ul><li><strong>Receiving Hate:</strong> The hosts, Diana and Naja, acknowledge that receiving hateful messages, or "haters," has been a part of their journey. Naja states that he saw the negative responses while checking comments on ads they were running on the Meta ad platform. The comments included mocking their videos, making fun of them, and suggesting their service is a scam or spam.</li><li><strong>Perspective on Haters:</strong> The hosts view hateful comments as an indication that they are "moving the needle," reaching people, and making an impact. They note that even the most successful people have haters. They believe that people who write hate often hide behind a screen. Naja observed that the profiles of the haters often showed that they were not doing anything worthwhile with their lives.</li><li><strong>The Emotional Impact:</strong> While the logical brain expects and rationalizes the hate, there is a residual feeling that can be hurtful, demoralizing, and can make people feel like quitting. Naja admitted that even though he knew he should expect it, the negative experience shut down his day.</li><li><strong>Advice for Content Creators:</strong> The hosts advise that hateful comments are to be expected and welcomed. For the younger generation creating content, receiving the first wave of hateful messages can be devastating, leading to quitting. The hosts encourage people to double down during this moment, as it signifies that they are making a dent and affecting people.</li><li><strong>Action Over Ideas:</strong> The hosts emphasize that action is "so much better and so much more valuable than ideas". People may have a million suggestions, but the person putting in the action should let the haters hate, as it helps them develop thicker skin and motivates them.</li><li><strong>Constructive Criticism:</strong> They clarify that they welcome and crave constructive criticism. They are constantly iterating and improving their content based on feedback, which can come from constructive comments or platform analytics like click-through rate and watch time.</li><li><strong>Podcast Format:</strong> The hosts decide to focus on having a single-minded topic for every episode and aim for a run time of no more than 30 minutes.</li><li><strong>Positive Intentions:</strong> The hosts aim to keep "good vibes" and spread positivity, wanting to add value to others' lives.</li></ul><p><br></p>
