Show Notes Main Points: * Introduce the podcast * Life lessons podcast where I review life and create content * What it took for me to make a podcast in 7 days

Intro: Starting a Podcast and Past podcast experience * So this is not my first podcast but it has been a while * The first podcast was What’s weird on a streaming Netflix show. Weird content * The first episode talking about Dolls of the Mafia

Intro: Past public speaking other experience * Used to work in children's ministry * Fun at times very difficult tbh I don’t trust people who fully like children’s ministry * Prepared me for coming up with messages being organized though someday I would write the message the day before

Why did I want to do this again? * TBH I sometimes hate my job work as a freelancer - Lots of bosses * Always looking for creative outlets * Want to provide a nice distraction for myself and others - No we will not be best friends but I can entertain you for half an hour.

Starting a podcast in a week, what do you need? * In all honesty four things a Microphone * A podcast platform such as libsyn and buzzsprout * Audacity or way to record and edit files * Need an idea for a podcast

What about Successful podcast * Pick a niche podcast - Obviously not interested in trying not to be pretentious * Hire someone on fivver to create a logo * Spend time creating a website - Some platforms offer starting website * Honestly try not to sweat it - 2,000,000. Podcast right now and 48 million episodes

What did and how I did it * I went to school for graphic design and web design so that helps * Lybsyn works with WordPress so that helps - Think like apps for an iphone or android. * Purchase a domain on Godaddy or whatever platform you plan to use square space or Wix * Learn WordPress because of the link to your other platform

What is stopping you from doing it? * Last thing I want is more competitions in 20 years this show will be number one * Other day I read a fortune cookie that said “Life’s greatest pleasure is accomplishing things that people say you can’t do.” * Honestly I think that sums up the entire human race * Always weird tic tok challenges and billionaires going to the moon * So for me I decided not to go to the moon but start a podcast * And maybe it’s not a podcast for you but something more special and personal * Guess what nothing is stopping you

Ending * Thanks you so much for making it this far * If you can give a like to the podcast that would be great help the cast out and motivate me to do more episodes * Plan for season one is to be more internal release an episode once or twice a month - About as much as i can do at the moment with work * Next episode I plan on talking about hiking and the high and lows I experienced doing hikes.
