Tweetable Quotes"I was an English major in college, and I got to New York having very minimal employment. I was working as an unpaid intern at the Paris Review and writing book reviews for various publications. A friend who was ahead of me in school landed a job at the New Yorker and told me about an opening for an assistant. That’s how I started at the New Yorker.""I remember right around the time I got my first iPhone, there was this weird icon I didn’t know. I found Rachel Maddow and started listening to a ton of her podcasts. For years, that was the only podcast I knew about until things developed in that space.""When I started making Lost Hills, just being able to bring people’s voices to the listeners was so cool to me. I feel like I’m hosting a party of these sources and the listeners. It’s a unique way to translate the experience to the audience."Resources MentionedTwitter - https://x.com/danagoodyear

Tweetable Quotes"I think the interesting thing about growing up in a rural area is that you're generally expected to know how to do things. I can drive a tractor, change brakes, and even replace an engine. It's just part of the lifestyle.""When I started my podcast, I didn't have a plan. I was reading a lot of personal development books and thought, wouldn't it be cool to learn from the authors? It wasn't about making money; it was about having meaningful conversations.""The pandemic was a turning point for me. I saw a lot of poor management and encroachment on civil rights. I realized that talking to another best-selling author wasn't going to address these issues. I wanted to have real conversations about what's happening in the world and how to navigate it."Resources MentionedLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-ryan-slate-bb7b284a/

Tweetable Quotes"Growing up in New York is amazing. I didn't learn to drive until my twenties, which shocks a lot of people, but for a New Yorker, that's par for the course. You could just do whatever, and it was very freeing in that sense.""I think my passion that I discovered in college was actually documentary filmmaking. I had pretty grand ambitions of making feature films, but I got lucky. I also wrote for the college paper, the Harvard Crimson, and my first job out of college combined journalism and video production.""The hardest part was tracking and writing narration. Writing is hard, and it's even a higher bar when people can't see what the place looks like. The sound can help describe it, but you have to write to that too."Resources MentionedLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophiebearman/

Tweetable Quotes"I started my podcast, the one that I currently have that's now called 'We're All in This Together,' back in 2016. The plan was just to do some interviews for my book. Once I was done researching for the book, I was going to be done with the podcast. But I got done writing the book, and I was still liking the podcast and enjoying the conversations, so I just kept going with it.""I ended up choosing to go to Stanford even though I was scared. It was such a good decision for me because what I learned when I got there was that it was better to be in an environment where I was a bit intimidated and felt like the players were even better around me because it forced me to step up.""For me, it's not a huge money maker or a big marketing funnel. It's just something that I like doing, I feel like I'm good at, and I think it reaches some people. It gives me a platform to share ideas, interview interesting people, and talk about topics that matter to me. It's an extension of my larger brand and a way to connect with my audience."Resources MentionedLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrobbins/

Tweetable Quotes"I made a decision very early that I didn't want to be a product of where I came from. So I turned to education and reading, which afforded me the opportunity to get a full academic scholarship and chart a different path." "Miss Dixon, my fifth and sixth grade teacher, and Mr. Cook, my guidance counselor from ninth through twelfth grade, were like guardian angels to me. They saw potential in me and provided me with opportunities that shaped the person I am today." "I just wanted to be rich, if I could be honest. We were so broke. Even though my dad was technically middle class, he made really good money. He was an industrial engineer with GM, but of course, he smoked it, so he didn't really get to see it. I knew a whole bunch of babies and welfare wasn't going to be the move if I wanted to be wealthy. So I decided to seek out education."Resources MentionedInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/darnyellejerveyharmon/

In this episode, I speak with Brandon Eastman, host of the Be Better Broadcast, and what a journey it is! Brandon shares his incredible transformation from working at Walmart right out of high school to becoming a beacon of personal development and leadership. His story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck or unsure about their future. We dive into how he started with nothing more than a makeshift studio in his apartment and grew into the impactful podcast host he is today. Brandon's candidness about his growth, both personally and professionally, really lights up this conversation.
But it's not all about podcasting. Brandon opens up about his experiences with personal development, including some profound insights gained from experimenting with psychedelics like magic mushrooms. His honest reflection on how these experiences influenced his perspective on life and his work adds a fascinating layer to our discussion. Whether you're a podcast enthusiast, someone curious about personal growth, or just looking for a push to start where you are with what you have, this episode is packed with relatable wisdom and actionable advice. Brandon's story is a powerful reminder that transformation often starts with a single step, or in his case, a single podcast episode. Join us as we explore the highs and lows of creating content that not only entertains but also educates and inspires.

Tweetable Quotes"It started in a two-bedroom apartment... I ordered a $1.50 desk and a Blue Yeti microphone. Even if you don't have an extravagant background, a clean background is better than extravagant." "I had a mentor come into my life, and he said, 'Brandon, you've got to work on yourself before you can move up into any level of leadership.' He advised me to start with my fitness and my body. I discovered personal development and eventually wanted to help others make the same changes I made." "I discovered my superpower when I gave a training about my journey, talking about goal setting and discipline. People came up to me afterward and were surprised by how well I could speak. That was when I realized what I loved to do."Resources MentionedInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/brandoneastman_/
