    31. Creating Digital Courses

    Launching my first podcast production course has been a journey filled with challenges and triumphs. At first, the idea of creating a digital course seemed daunting, but I knew that if I didn't start, I would never progress. So, I took the plunge, using my trusty Sony camera and countless hours of dedication to record and edit the modules. It wasn't easy; there were moments of self-doubt and hesitancy, but I persevered. When the course finally went live on my website, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Sure, there were only 12 enrollees initially, but each sign-up felt like a victory. I meticulously organized the content, ensuring it was valuable yet not overwhelming. Setting up the payment gateway and marketing strategies added another layer of complexity, but I navigated through, utilizing platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn to spread the word. Buoyed by the success, I am now venturing into my second course, sharing my expertise in graphic design. This entire process has taught me that taking that first step, no matter how daunting, is crucial. With each milestone, I find the confidence to dream bigger, and I'm excited about the many courses I plan to create in the future. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and here's to unlocking more milestones together.

    29. Graphic Design Journey

    In this episode, I share my personal journey into the world of graphic design. Starting from my college days studying accounting and working as a student assistant, I stumbled upon graphic design when I was tasked with designing my university's tarpaulins. Armed with little knowledge of Photoshop, I self-taught myself the basics and gradually expanded my skills to include other Adobe software like Illustrator and InDesign. Through trials, errors, and numerous pro bono projects, I honed my craft, learning the intricacies of layout design, color modes, and vector elements. I emphasize the importance of moving beyond template-driven platforms like Canva to truly unlock one's creativity by designing from scratch. I also touch upon my recent venture into learning Procreate for illustration. Never stop learning and to continue dreaming big, as youl possesses the key to unlocking your own milestones.

    27. Owning Your First Car: Brand New or Secondhand?

    I share my personal journey of purchasing and owning a car. I want to advise all the first-time buyers out there, based on my experience. Buying brand new cars might seem appealing, but I strongly recommend considering secondhand vehicles for personal use. I made this choice when I bought my 2019 Hyundai Tucson on October 2020, avoiding the weight of monthly payments that come with new cars. Learning to drive and obtaining my license opened up new experiences, including a memorable long drive to Sarangani. Despite minor challenges, having a car proved incredibly convenient, especially during the pandemic. Later, as a birthday gift to myself, I purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger on February 2023, managing the cost through a staggered payment plan. My story underscores the practicality and responsibility that accompany car ownership. I hope my experiences inspire and encourage you to pursue your dreams and milestones.
