Average Genius

We’re talking about a fintech start-up today. I didn’t know what that was before, but I do now, at least in basic terms. I hear about how this start-up got off the ground, plans for the one-stop education/brokerage platform, how start-ups get initial investments, the benefits of start-up competitions, and so much more!!!

It’s time to learn how to produce a podcast!!! A professional podcast producer gives me some insights on editing, choosing equipment, steering clear of bad editing tips found online, and growing/advertising a podcast. Hopefully my editing for this episode was better than usual!

Time for a therapy session! Couples Therapist Paige teaches me so much about her job, and a good bit about the Gottman Method. I could never be a therapist, so it’s awesome that people can turn to someone like Paige when they have problems.

It’s a special episode today. I’m going solo! I talk about my journey in podcasting so far, including how I got started and the difficult parts. This solo podcast was sooo much harder to record than an interview-style podcast.

Today we’re talking about the difficulties of translating languages for YouTube subtitles. I can only handle English, but my guest can handle English and Korean like a champ! Glad she was forgiving when I was late for recording the episode.

Lachlan Parker talks about his early days in competitive gaming and new job as an e-sports performance coach. He breaks down what it’s like to work with e-sports athletes, the changing e-sports industry, and what he does as a coach for the Renegades (Rocket League gaming team). Remember that gaming is a physical and a mental activity. Stretch your hands!

I get the scoop on, well, scooping poop! Glad people are out there keeping yards clean. Pups deserve a relaxing place to do their business.

Keith Hutchings of The Comfortable Home Project chats about marketing passive solar homes in Australia. Passive solar homes don’t have solar panels. They help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter based on their design. So great!!

Forensic anthropologist Ryburn Dobbs, writer of the Sebastien Grey novel series, tells me about his career. He talks about how he got his start, de-fleshing a human skull, working on cold cases, and so much more!

Award-winning director Lars Henriks talks about being a German independent filmmaker. He gives us the details on funding for German films, the independent film movement in Hamburg, his experiences making films, and so much more! 

When Izaic Yorks isn’t writing books or working on his D&D podcast, he’s a professional runner. So busy! He gives us the details on why he became a pro athlete and on life as a runner. Good thing his diet isn’t too strict!

Cruise Director Kabir of the Keeping Afloat podcast gives us the tales of the sea. Sounds like life as a cruise director is pretty sweet! I’d trade a hard day’s work to live on a floating party for sure.

Knowing nothing about tarot cards, I try not to get in the way as Allie Marini gives me the scoop on being a tarot card reader. You’re telling me the death card isn’t actually a bad card? So much to learn!

Tiger King! John Reinke joins me and talks about what it’s like to work as an exotic zoo manager. Did you know the G.W. Zoo of Netflix fame had a lion and wiener dogs that played together? How was that not the main focus of the Tiger King series?

Wooo! The start of it all. Voice teacher Ivan Lu talks about following his passion for music and helping others reach their singing potential. Anyone can sing according to Ivan, so don’t be shocked if you see me on The Voice or American Idol soon!

Here's the intro trailer all on its own! Every journey begins with a single step. The intro trailer is my "single step" into the world of podcasting. Real episodes are soon to come! My Fiverr artist did an awesome job with the intro!!! I'm not biased or anything even though I wrote the script. She's simply great! Honestly, I worry that my content will pale in comparison to her voice over work. Oh well. I'll focus on doing my best!
