Do Good Podcast

In today's episode, I’m joined by artist, author & podcaster Ben Tallon to hear how he’s carved a career out for himself by doing the things he loves.

While juggling his day job being an artist he’s recently published two Indie books (YA MUM & Isolation Watch) giving him a new creative outlet to the explore other ideas and interests. And given the fact he’s recently become a father to twins, it makes it all the more impressive.

The one thing that stands out for me about Ben and his work is he’s not afraid to try something new and see where it ends up. Often the smallest of ideas at the time has taken him down new and exciting paths.

In this podcast, Ben offers advice to those looking to get their creative passions off the ground, his techniques for being productive as well many other nuggets of wisdom from his years of experience.

In today's episode, I’m joined by filmmaker & musician Ben Joseph Stewart, who's mind-expanding films have reached millions of people around the globe helping them on their awakening journey.

He also has a popular show on Gaia called Limitless and has recently started producing his weekly Waking Infinity News, which I would highly recommend, as he delves way beneath the surface of what is going on in the world.

Ben is not afraid to speak his truth and go against the status quo, something I believe takes bravery in this world. He shares his experience on how he finds the courage to stick his head up above the crowd and share the information he finds to be true to him.

This wide-ranging interview covers subjects like unpicking the truth behind all the conspiracy theories out there, his awakening experiences with plant medicine and psychedelics, the health benefits of a breathwork practise, among plenty of other fascinating topics.

In today's episode, the final one of 2020, I reflect on the year we’ve just had and discuss how now more than ever, we should expect the unexpected in our lives.

Never before, in our lifetimes anyway, have all our worlds been turned so much upside down by the effects of Covid-19. All our dreams, wishes and plans have been abruptly halted, causing us to put the breaks on our fast-paced lives.

Whether we like it or not, it’s happened. We can either fight with our reality, attempting to get back to ‘normal’ so we can continue full pelt on the hamster wheel. Or we can take this once in the lifetime opportunity to take a deep pause and reflect on our lives and the choices we make.

As we step forth into 2021 and beyond, we have an opportunity to rather than getting lost in plans for the future or worrying about the past, we can instead choose to act more in the present moment and take each day as it comes.

Truth is our kids are hurting, Eddie has seen this more than most over the past several decades, so through his organisation, he helps tens of thousands of young people and their families navigate the complexity of our emotional lives with practical skills and tips that are delivered through a variety of highly engaging media.

It’s been nearly two years since I launched my podcast and have just passed 50 episodes. During this time I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to create a successful podcast.

Recently I’ve been receiving a lot of messages about how to start a podcast so I’ve created this episode showing you step-by-step instructions.

In this episode I share these 5 Steps:

1. Coming up with a theme for your show

2. Get yourself a good quality microphone

3. Recording your first episode

4. Find a place to host your files

5. Promoting your podcast

I’ll expand on these steps and will also share some added extra information on other things like how to develop an income from podcasting.

The best thing you can do is just start and make it up as you go along as twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did.

By starting a podcast you’ll learn a ton of things along the way and you never know where it may lead you one day. You may even chart a new career path for yourself. The world is your oyster.
