Podcast Junkies - Conversations with Fascinating Podcasters
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Have you ever walked into a room and felt out of place, only later to realize that it was the perfect platform to connect, grow, and evolve? That's how my guest, Ben Albert, host of Real Business Connections, felt when he started his podcasting journey in a guest bedroom. Today, Ben and I take you on a journey across our shared pasts in New York, our struggles with bullying, and how all these experiences shaped who we are today.
In the world of podcasting, it's a constant battle against uncertainty, but it's also an open door to unexpected opportunities. Ben and I grapple with this reality, relating it to the harsh realities athletes face when they realize they won't always be the best. But podcasting isn't just a race to the top; it's about creating a successful platform that allows people to share their stories and experiences. It's about being a good listener, asking the right questions, learning and teaching from each other, and evolving together with our listeners.
The power of vulnerability and the influence of our past experiences are themes that echo throughout our conversation. Ben and I reflect on our individual journeys, discussing the importance of networking, mentorship, and sharing our personal stories. As we look back on our childhood experiences, we understand how they've shaped our lives and our podcasting careers. Tune in for a heart-to-heart talk about the struggles and triumphs that have defined our journeys, and how these experiences can inspire you on your journey to success.
