In The White Waterfall

Imagine being behind a waterfall, as the water pours down and the froth collects at the bottom of the falls. The peaceful noise of the flow.

The Journey to Where We Are

Life takes us on many twists and turns. Some, we control, some, we have zero input on whatsoever. Some turns are full of hope, opportunities, moments that turn into memories. Some are full of desperation, and a reminder of the unfairness that life can throw at us any time. Like the friends I have that are impacted by cancer at the minute, and may be fighting a losing battle, no matter how hard they push back. These twists and turns make us question the validity of living life well. After all, if we live life to the best we can, and be the best we can, yet still be struck down by something as devastating as cancer… Why bother? Why live life well at all, if that’s our reward? Except… that’s not our reward. Our reward is continuing to live, and enjoy, and be happy, and bring happiness to others. Because that’s what defines us. That’s what makes us who we are, as I discuss on this week's show. Topics on the menu include How not to pronounce Glenmorangie :)How small decisions can make big changesHow leaps of faith can change livesWhy we should look at our life as a reward Settle back for a chat about fate, destiny, what we can and can't control, and why we shouldn't worry about the stuff outside our control.

Mark Asquith on Spotify and YouTube's Relationship with Podcasting, and Why RSS Isn't Key

Mark Asquith has been involved in podcasting since 2013, and has focused on helping podcasters grow their businesses. In 2019, he co-founded Captivate, a podcast hosting platform that helps serious indie podcasters grow their businesses. In this conversation, he discusses his goals for the platform, and how it helps podcasters grow their businesses. Mark talks about the company's journey from Podcast Websites to Captivate, the world's only growth-oriented podcasting platform. He talks about how the company has always been focused on helping podcasters grow their businesses, and how they built Captivate with that goal in mind. He also talks about the success the company has seen so far and how they plan to continue helping podcasters grow their audiences and businesses. Mark talks about how he always knew Captivate would do well, because he approached things with the goal of helping users first and foremost. He talks about how the company's acquisition by Global has not changed anything in terms of the company's goals or focus, and how the partnership is beneficial for users because of Global's talent and resources. Mark and Danny discuss Spotify's recent acquisitions and how they believe YouTube will take a similar route in the future. They also touch on how podcasting has become an industry and how Spotify's focus is on the media format rather than the individual podcasts themselves.

The Boy Who Sneezed and Blew His Nose Off

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was a curious and adventurous child, but he had one peculiar habit: whenever he sneezed, he would blow his nose with incredible force. One day, as Timmy was exploring the woods behind his house, he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but the tickle was too strong. He let out a massive sneeze and, to his surprise, his nose flew right off his face and into a nearby bush. Listen in to today's episode to find out what happened.

Breaking Through the Noise: How Indie Podcasts Can Shine

What transforms a hidden gem of a podcast into a smash hit? In this episode, we delve into the critical challenges indie podcasters face: findability and fundability. These two intertwined hurdles often determine a show's success or obscurity. We also highlight the financial barriers, such as costly award entry fees and the steep price of outsourcing, which can amount to $12,000 annually. Solutions like curated discovery on platforms like Goodpods and potential streaming models for steady income are explored. And we emphasize the need for innovative approaches to ensure that quality content can rise to the top and reach its intended audience. Takeaways: Many indie podcasters face the dual challenges of findability and fundability, crucial for success. Findability isn't just about being on platforms like Apple or Spotify, but about discoverability by the right listeners. Fundability provides resources for better production and marketing, helping podcasts become more discoverable. Outsourcing basics can cost indie podcasters up to $12,000 a year, highlighting financial challenges. Platforms like Goodpods are attempting to level the playing field for independent creators through curated discovery. The podcasting industry could benefit from streaming payment models similar to those used in the music industry. Listeners play a crucial role in supporting indie podcasts by seeking them out and sharing them with others.

Why You Should Listen to A Downsized Life

A Downsized Life shares our journey as we look to live a simpler life, away from the everyday stresses of living in a big city, and all that entails. Join us as we share lessons learned, successes earned, and everything in-between. You'll hear from myself and my wife Jaclyn, as we take the plunge and move three hours north of our old home, friends, and more, and how we adapt (or don't). You'll also hear from our two young kids occasionally, and what the move and new life means to them - the ups, the downs, the somewhere in the middle. While we may not have all the answers, we promise we'll give our honest feedback and thoughts about making this move yourself, and hopefully help you along the way.
