Podcast Ride
How to schedule:
Text me at 602.999.5050:
1)Who you are.
2)where you want to go.
3)how long you want to schedule a ride (Limit 45 minutes, until I update this).
*I will likely call you back for the following details.
4)What do you want to talk about, or is this a surprise gift to someone else who needs someone to talk to about a big life event.
5) If I agree on a time and date, then we figure out an amount I will charge for the ride, preparation for the recording, and my time. Base is about $200 for anything under 60 minutes. However, if it is a crazy busy event that you want picked up from then I will have to charge more to wait in the parking lot and forgo any other options.
*It makes sense to make the ride free since I am getting the content; however, sometimes people talk about subjects that go deeper than they expected and we end up avoiding a publishing of it. I have had famous people ask me to remove my camera, which is a valid point if we talk about sensitive topics that could cost them a job.
6) When I have payment, I will pick you up, have fun with it and I will send you a link to review the video before I publish it.
*Not edit, just review. If you don't want it published, then pay me for the time I wasted on editing it and it is done.
Benefits:
The benefit of scheduling a podcast ride is I can acquire better audio for the video. Later on in the series of 500 episodes I will focus on improving the quality of the video. The point of scheduling a podcast is to get a local person that wants to talk to an open audience about what they are most passionate about. If you showcase your business, cool. Just understand I am interested in getting to know you and why you started your journey down that path.
I don't mind putting a link in the video, but I don't want to be advertising, because I have a direction that I want to take my life that I honestly don't want to be running anything more than a podcast about people who turn their passion into their work. Artists, musicians, accountants, etc.; however, understand that I am interested in asking certain questions to understand you.
Part of being an empathic person, I think about your life and everything beyond the conversations. I remember conversations I had with people my first year driving, the color of their shirt, and their laughter's inflections. I absorb the conversation, especially if I record it. I have been reading faces my whole childhood to see the dangers that I faced. I have replayed thousands of conversations in my head to a point that I can mimic the movement of the characters within those stories.
I am an introvert that understands I only have one opportunity to speak with you, a side effect of being abandoned several times as a child makes it an anxious event. So, if I am going to do it, then I am going to do it with every intent to understand you and see who you really are. Otherwise, I would rather stay at home and not absorb you into my thoughts.
With that being said, I do think a lot of people hide behind their personas and lies; I know I do to protect a side of me that I may not know how to defend, or I want the story to be more fun and less painful to tell. We all have a story to tell that puts our listeners in our shoes so they can feel the speed and rhythm to which we find ourselves moving towards.
A conversation is like a dance, let us pick up a beat and have fun with the song that gets played. I don't want the conversation to be a competition nor settling on a reward system other than how much we all enjoyed the groove.
