  • Ep 170. (Mini) What They Didn't Tell You About Podcasting

    When I started podcasting in October 2014, the intention was pure. I wasn't in it to make money or to expect a ton of downloads. It was easy for me to feel that way (expecting little of what would come out of my own podcast. Sorry, I didn't write this to discourage anyone). 

    English is my second language. I think I'm a good storyteller but I was never picked in school or at work to stand on a podium and blab my brains out. 

    I had a full-time job that was wearing on me. I knew I wanted to be a freelancer, or an entrepreneur. But I didn't put all my hope in podcasting and thought that was going to be my breakthrough. Why? Nobody I knew did, and most people I know (still) don't have a podcast. 

    Why the heck did I do it then? I wanted to "pick myself", and do something on my own, with full creative control. 

    I imagined my future children to want to learn something about their mom, and my friends tuning in to find out what I've been up to lately. That's it. 

    As you may have already found out through reading my eBooks, the journey of my podcast was so much more than that, Utterly unexpected at first, and then I learned to embrace what the act of podcasting has brought into my life. 

    I want to tell you the truth, the misconceptions, and what others (especially the ultra-successful podcasters) didn't tell you.

  • Ep 169 (Part 2). David Burkus: Unleash the Power of Your Weak Ties

    David Burkus (@davidburkus) is a best-selling author. His newest book, Friend of a Friend offers new perspectives and tactics that teaches you how to better network and build key connections. These insights are based on human behaviors, and often are overlooked and misunderstood.

    Turns out, the low hanging fruits are the connections you already have, the old friends, which social scientists call them weak ties, or dormant ties. 

    Part 2

    • [25:00] You practice Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, are you still competing?
    • [27:00] Do you feel there’s something special about practicing a martial art, training, group work, and your discipling at work and as a creator?
    • [30:00] What triggered you to write about the exchange between communities? What was your experience behind that?
    • [35:00] Your books ARE backed by science and studies, unlike all other ‘advice’ books out there that come from personal experiences. What are your thoughts on that?
    • [38:00] What are some of the people comments/reviews about your book? Do you check that often?

  • Ep 166 (Part 2): Danielle LeVeck: The Angel Behind Nurse Abnormalities

    Danielle LeVeck is a nurse and she's the secret angel behind her insanely engaging Instagram channel (@nurseabnormalities). On average, each of her posts receives more than 100 comments within the first 24 hours.

    As a nurse, Danielle started her career in cardiac critical care. She then transitioned to cardiac surgical critical care, ICU travel nursing, and medical-surgical ICU patients.

    A few years ago, she decided to share stories about these “nurse abnormalities” because every day, she is "in awe of how brilliant, instrumental, and extraordinary nurses are to healthcare. Becoming a nurse positively transformed my outlook on life and I hope to give back to the profession throughout her career."
