In episode 5 of season 2 of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Nate Garrison of The EXTRAordinary Podcast.
The EXTRAordinary Podcast profiles ordinary people living extraordinary lives, who adhere to a lifestyle by design mindset.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
how Nate's show evolved from being a co-hosted show into a solo host
how the show came about from a personal development program that Nate created, the 8 Keys 2 Great
how Covid changed the way he records and plans his show
how he used to identify cities and advertise he was coming that way, to find guests for his show
how Nate identifies what he feels would make an interesting guest for his show and listeners
why he adheres to a lifestyle by design mindset
why Covid has seen both a positive and negative change in personal behaviours
how our lives have the chance to be redefined post-Covid
what the 18 month rule is for podcasting, and why he uses it
the two episodes that stand out for him
how his endurance sports lifestyle prepares him for handling disappointment in life
the moment he found he needed to step away from corporate life
why you should judge success by how your life meets your actual needs, versus your material successes
how his goal is to gain something from every guest he interviews
his plans for scaling his podcast, and why he's looking forward to getting back to in-person interviews
why he has no interest in interviewing celebrities and uber-successful people
why meaningful conversations make for the best podcasts
why his biggest piece of advice for podcasters is to be consistent
why his parents are his heroes
Settle back for an enlightening talk about making and living by your own rules.
