START A PODCAST TO LEARN NEW THINGS EVERY TIME - THAT'S WHY I DID IT!
“Within that time, even just sharing 2, 3, or 5 pieces of information can have a profound impact on both myself and the listeners. ”
ARTICLE SUMMARY
I started the podcast because I wanted to understand what drives people to do the work they do. A conversation can give both me and the listener a few useful ideas, and I enjoy finding that motivation in people from very different backgrounds.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Curiosity about people’s motivations is a central reason I created the show.
I see value in learning from a wide range of experiences and occupations.
WHY EVEN START A NEW PODCAST?
"What's driving you? Why are you doing what you are doing?" These are the questions that have always intrigued me. I have a deep love for stories that delve into the motivations and passions of individuals. That's why I find it so exciting to have conversations that can span anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Within that time, even just sharing 2, 3, or 5 pieces of information can have a profound impact on both myself and the listeners. There's always something new to learn, and I believe that curiosity resonates with others as well.
Recently, we have been receiving positive feedback for our efforts. And it doesn't matter who we talk to – whether it's the folks selling cigarettes at the corner store or the brilliant minds behind companies like Tesla – everyone has a story. It's fascinating to see that the hustle, the drive, is the same for all. This understanding led us to launch this project, and the reception has been nothing short of fun and exciting as we continue to spread the word.

A collage of in-person interviews illustrates why I launched Invigorate Your Business.
START WITH THE QUESTION YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND
My reason for starting Invigorate Your Business was curiosity. I wanted to understand what drives people, how they found their path and what they learned when the work became difficult. The conversation is worthwhile when a listener takes away even one idea they can use.
If you are considering a show of your own, start with three questions: who do you want to learn from, what can you ask from real experience and why would that conversation be useful to someone else? Those answers give the format a purpose before equipment, promotion or audience numbers enter the discussion.
