That aside, it is true that certain folks are willing to exploit those who undervalue themselves. I think you should be getting paid. Unfortunately, I do not run a magazine.

I don't mind not getting paid, maybe because I'm already footing the bill for the cost of putting out this podcast. Also, I'm not taking on any of the risk. It's more about the experience, the challenge, the chance to work with talented, successful and energetic people, and the warm fuzzies from helping out a pair of underdogs taking on a huge endeavor. Something good will eventually come out of it for me.

Every time someone tries to do something big, there will always be people be able to think of perfectly good reasons why it can't be done. It's no coincidence that many habitual naysayers rarely achieve anything big themselves.
