I love podcasts.
I listened to Kevin Smith ramble for hours while taking my lunch walks. It’s like having a friend hanging out with you whenever you want. You can turn them off when you have had enough. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy to tell your friends and family that you must be alone for a few hours.
This dynamic has caused me to not know my friends and family, as well as the voices I hear every morning while I walk my dogs.
I have realized that genuine connections are more valuable than those with people who don’t know I exist. But how do I rekindle these poorly managed relationships?
A Podcast!
I want to dive deeper into people’s lives.
I hate having surface-level conversations. It’s like I’m practicing talking.
I don’t want to discuss the weather or state facts I have read. Instead, I want to question mindsets and push boundaries.
There are even simple questions that I have never asked my wife. But bringing them up in everyday conversation would raise an eyebrow. However, when you’re on a “podcast,” you see it as answering questions someone is asking you and not asking, ” Why would you want to know that?”
Creating a podcast also gives the illusion of being productive when hanging out with friends. Some friends’ significant others might provide an eye roll if they say they will hang out for a few hours. But if they tell them they will be on my podcast, it becomes an event!
Let’s make a podcast!
