“What I really liked doing was building something. I just enjoyed the act of doing that, learning something new, always being challenged.” (07:24)
“That’s what made me decide to start a podcast. It was the side hustle to kind of scratch that itch of doing something that I felt that I was actually creating in real-time and could leave an impact with.” (14:19)
“I look back now and I think what I love the most about it was the process of finding the guest, recording, editing, finding out the business side of it. I can even remember registering for an LLC and thoroughly enjoying it. Sure I was just starting a podcast, but I was starting a business. That was a practice for what my future was gonna look like.” (18:00)
“I’m surprised how many people still don’t understand podcasting. One out of three people I tell don’t know what a podcast is or have never listened to one.” (30:50)
“For me it all stems back to my faith. I’m really driven by that and it’s the most important thing in my life.” (35:07)
“I take everyone really seriously because it’s the way I’d want to be treated. And I think being that student is gonna serve you a lot better than pretending you’re some sort of master at something.” (45:12)
