As time goes on it's natural for us to want to change something or take a totally different direction. I've noticed this over the past couple of weeks from a few podcasts and video channels I follow. Each one did a great job at explaining their reasons and plans which made me want to continue on the new journey with them.Some thoughts on that in this episode on how you can get a good result from changes.Please leave a review and show your support?https://lovethepodcast.com/tlc ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I thought about this a lot over my vacation break. The amount of content and users on social networks now is so great that it is almost impossible to find the content and people you are actually interested in. Instead you have to find a way through the adverts and misleading click bait, the junk posts and insults. So I ask you, is it time to pay for quality networks that do not allow any of the above to interfere with actually connecting to people and content you are interested in?

I'm not saying that the Apple Podcast app is terrible, I really want it to be great. But I have some issues with it that I've mentioned before. But why the ratings for it are suddenly so great is because we are mostly responsible for it as podcasters. We are asking our listeners to do the wrong thing with the best of intentions.

It may sound like a great marketing spin to only have your work available in one place, but I think it's a bad idea because you make it harder to find and harder for people to share on your behalf.

Two topics are related to each other in this episode. I don't like to do things more than once if I can help it, so as I started putting content up on joinwisdomapp.com I figured out how to record the iPhone live audio stream so I can use it for Podcasts as well. I'll get into all the fun details since this is something it appears more than a few people want to do.

Have you ever noticed how people can talk for hours about the tools they use? That is bad, everyone should talk about the creation instead.

Even when you use acceptable copyright-free and royalty-free audio, there is every chance your content will be flagged by an automated system. Here's my word of caution and advice when it happened to me this week. Let's Connect https://bio.link/peterw --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/support ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Our brain is always responding to things, triggers and responses. In this episode, I talk a little about how weird things get when the trigger is missing. As an example, I will never get used to taking a photograph and not hearing the sound of a shutter opening and closing. Or a car that does not make the sound of a car.

This is a follow-up as I said I would to a challenge I set in Season 5 Episode 27. The challenge was to pick something you wish you could do and make two lists. 1. with reasons why you don't do it and 2. the benefits if you could overcome this problem. Season 5 Episode 27 I said I would give an example so here it is.

In this midweek minute, I have a very tough question again for you to face for yourself. But a very worthwhile exercise if you are completely honest. Pick something you find extremely difficult to do or face. Then make two lists, one for the reasons not to do it. Another for the reasons to break through the barrier and do it. Then, see which list is the one you really feel is the best.

Recently I made my first podcast interview. I have appeared as a guest many times on different shows but this was the first time I was the interviewer. I am not afraid to admit that I had been avoiding doing one because it made me super anxious. But I also know that I'm telling you all to push the envelope of comfort to expand. So I had to make myself do it otherwise it just makes me a hypocrite. In this episode I share my thoughts, lessons learned and tips that I hope can help you, should you find yourself in a similar situation.
