Origin Story: Off Script · The Podcast

Coming soon

Your story found you. Now use it.

Every leader, entrepreneur, and podcaster has a story they almost didn't tell. The one they edited out of the bio. The season they skipped over in the interview. The thing that actually made them who they are. That's the conversation we're here for.

Hosted by Tamar Routly & Mark Wright

Every episode

Three questions. No script.

01

What happened?

02

What did it cost you?

03

When did you stop hiding it?

No prep. No topic list. No polished talking points. We don't edit: what gets said is what goes out, including the stumbles, the laughs, and the long pauses before the good stuff. Because real conversations sound different from produced ones, and you can hear the difference.

Your hosts

Two storytellers. Opposite directions. Same lesson.

Origin Story Off Script is hosted by Tamar Routly, founder of Podcast Impact Studio, and Mark Wright, a four-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster with nearly 40 years of telling other people's stories. Between them they've learned the same lesson from opposite directions: Tamar spent 22 years editing herself to survive. Mark spent 35 years on camera learning to sound like someone else. Both of them had to find their way back.

Is this for you?

This podcast is for you if...

✓

You have a story you've been editing out of your professional life, and you're starting to wonder what it costs to keep hiding it.

✓

You've been podcasting for a while and somewhere along the way stopped feeling it.

✓

You know you sound competent on mic, but competent isn't what you were going for.

✓

You've tried to sound like someone who has it all figured out, and you're exhausted by it.

✓

You're ready to stop performing the version of yourself that got you here and find out what the real one sounds like.

What you'll hear

Three kinds of episodes

Origin stories

Guests who built something real and will tell you what it actually took, not the keynote version.

Teaching episodes

Tamar and Mark on what they're learning in the work right now. Why the pre-interview matters. When to go deeper. What most podcasters get wrong and how to fix it.

Live coaching

Real podcasters, real shows, worked through on air. You watch the process, not just hear about it.
