Getting To Know You – Paul D. Lowe & Andrew Lenzo
Paul is joined once more by Andrew Lenzo, the owner of 303 Media and host of The Lenzo Media Podcast, to talk about getting to know each other, striking up conversations with people – sometimes strangers – that come with a certain energy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You shouldn’t judge people based on what they look like or where you think they come from. You really have to get to know a person, especially today when it’s so easy to travel and to really be your authentic self, it’s such a stupid thing to do, to have so many preconceptions ahead of meeting somebody.
- We still find ways to bring in discourse to things like football and hockey, for example, something that’s entertainment, something you watch to escape from your day-to-day. You find an allegiance to your group, even if it makes no sense, it’s very easy to get caught up in that. Everyone is looking for some kind of culture to identify with, for a feeling of not being alone, especially in the United States.
- The most solidly formed opinions come from people who challenge their own beliefs and opinions. The more you challenge it, the more you’re going to rethink your psyche and what you believe in it. But the only way to do that is to open yourself up to criticism and listen to others opinions that challenge yours. A lot of people like to surround themselves with like-minded people and thoughts and not challenge their beliefs. But to push yourself and find your strong psyche you have to challenge yourself and be open to that criticism.
- When he pandemic happened, a lot of people for the first time in a long time could just sit and think, they were at home with their families – or they were alone – and being able to sit and reflect on where you are in life and what you want out of life really did good for a lot of people in terrible circumstances. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and burned out by work, take the time, take a few days, don’t go watch TV, turn it and your computer off, take a notebook and sit down and really think about where you’re at and where you’re going to be. Why do you do the work that you do? What are you accomplishing? Why is it important to the world? What impact will it leave on the world after you’re gone? That’s a very important thing to focus on, especially if you’re that busy and you’re dedicating that much time to your work.
BEST MOMENTS
‘One thing that we talk about as podcasters is the importance of listening and letting the person across from you talk.’
‘As you get older and the more you put yourself out there the easier it is to forget about those judgments.’
‘A lot of us are just trying to get by, working lots of hours to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads. But I do believe that you owe it to yourself to challenge your beliefs and to really figure out who you are as a person.’
‘I feel like it’s healthy to have a certain amount of ego, to believe in yourself and have self-confidence. But it can be a very selfish and unhealthy thing to have in some contexts.’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Before the pandemic, Andrew and his friend Austin were working as journalists at their college newspaper. Often underfunded and overlooked by major players at the university, they were forced to think outside the box when it came to funding.
“How can we get the most exposure for stories that had, and still have, a major impact on people in the community without ruining the integrity of our publication?
Members of the community often used their paper to make major political and social decisions that have a huge impact on the direction of the city and its citizens.
“How can you make an informed decision when there’s no independent news outlet giving you the facts?”
That’s where 303 Media started. In the musky, dirty, and damp offices of King Hall. Since graduating, they’ve continued that promise to empower those who don’t think they have the resources to take the next step.
Today, small businesses are fighting for exposure more than ever. Small businesses make up 99.9% of all businesses in the United States, yet corporations account for 62% of all revenues.
Online review platforms, search engines, and social media are the customer’s go-to source for information when learning about a new business. 91% of customers will visit a store because of an online experience.
It’s not easy to stay competitive in this landscape, but 303 Media is sticking to the mission.
