Manage episode 406743522 series 2569773
Episode Overview: In my triumphant return to the Chasing Common Ground podcast, I go into the personal journey of rediscovery, motivation, and the pivotal role of taking action towards one's goals. This episode is a candid exploration of overcoming hesitation, embracing opportunities for growth, and the enriching experience of connecting with others in the industry. Key Highlights: Embracing Imperfection: I start things off with a personal reflection on bypassing the need for perfection in favour of taking action, emphasizing the importance of showing up authentically and moving forward with purpose. A Journey Through the Pandemic: Recounting the peak of podcasting during uncertain times, I share insights gained from interviewing a myriad of guests, highlighting the therapeutic and transformative power of these conversations. The Challenges of Podcasting: Addressing the realities of scheduling conflicts, guest availability, and the valuation of time, I touch on the inherent challenges faced by podcasters like myself and the lessons learned along the way. Inspiration from the Real Coaches Summit: Fresh from attending the Real Coaches Summit in Las Vegas, I share the profound impact of the event, orchestrated by Aram Grigorian (https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeach/), and how it served as a catalyst for reigniting the podcast's spark. The Value of Networking and Learning: Through recounting experiences from the summit and the unexpected connections made, the episode underscores the importance of being open to new encounters and the wealth of knowledge to be gained from them. Future Directions: Looking ahead, I tease a potential new co-host and episode formats, aiming to infuse the podcast with diverse perspectives and deeper discussions on overcoming hurdles in performance, fitness, and life. The Call to Action: Concluding with a heartfelt thank you to listeners and a reminder of the power of support and community, I encourage more people to start taking bold steps towards personal and professional growth. I also give my endorsement of Aram Grigorian's work and the Real Coaches Summit. https://www.realcoachessummit2023.com/tickets/p/event-recordings Special Mentions: Mike Doehla and Jeb Stuart Johnston's new podcast initiative.
