How It Started?
It was July of 21' when the idea of a committing to a podcast circulated my head. I had bought a $50 microphone off amazon six months earlier and it had been collecting dust ever since. I was afraid to jump. There were too many questions to deal with, things I didn't want to know the answer to. One of the ones that had me frozen in fear was, "Will this time invested ever equate into anything?"
Fears aside, I decided. The first step was to brainstorm 100 names and pick the best one. As I was writing, my teammate tapped me on the shoulder and asked what work I was doing in the summer. He knew I wasn't in any summer classes.
"I'm trying to start a podcast, so I'm writing down all the potential names."
"Damn, that's going to take a lot of work just to even have a chance at it blowing up."
Absolutely it would. But the reason I started it was never to make the most money, it was to seek something deeper than money. Where I could connect with souls trying to overcome the difficulties (opportunities) life throws at us.
And for the record...my annual report for the podcast total earnings was, $7.88. Haha :)
I put out my first episode at the end of that month and a year and a half later, it was 39 episodes deep. Youtube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, it is still available on all platforms. That podcast allowed other doors to open that I wasn't aware of when I first started back in July of 21'. It paved the way for the clothing line. The clothing line is current and paving the way for the next venture.
The "Thru It All Podcast" was a beautiful experience for me as it lead to the creation of the company Thru It All™. Excited for the future.
Nothing but Love,
