Watch & Subscribe on YouTubeIn this heartening episode, I had the privilege of welcoming the remarkable Marianne Demello-Smith, creator of 'Message in the Middle', for a candid conversation that beautifully bridged the realms of personal passion and podcasting. Diving headfirst into the depths of our shared stories, we explored the courage it takes to step away from the corporate world's security blanket and venture into the world of authentic storytelling. Marianne and I peeled back the layers of our transitions, revealing the vulnerabilities and exhilarating moments that come with swapping the interviewer's chair for the guest's seat. Our dialogue was a testament to the power of genuine connection, the kind that only thrives when we're willing to show our true selves and embrace the growth that comes from embracing the unknown.I'm beyond excited to share this episode with you, not just as a retrospective of my journey from a structured corporate life to a world where community and conversation take center stage, but as an open invitation to join us in this expedition of self-discovery. The stories we've woven together, rich with personal insights and the wisdom gained from our unique paths, serve as a beacon for anyone yearning to find their voice and make an impact. It's about more than just podcasting; it's about constructing a tapestry of shared tales that resonate with heartfelt connections. So come along, tune in, and let's embark on this voyage together – you might just find the very thing that reignites your own passions.Episode SponsorFullCast – https://fullcast.co/Key Takeaways00:00 Vulnerability in Podcasting and Public Speaking10:37 Life Reflection and Starting a Podcast19:41 Podcasting Tips and Reflections29:56 Personal Growth and Future Vision35:15 Podcast Growth40:24 Building a Podcasting CommunityTweetable Quotes"Life is mess and it's complicated and we can't predict it, and you make a series of choices based on what's going on, like you can't predict what's coming out. Do you want things happen and you make choices and suddenly you find yourself here 50 years later.""It's not about those moments because they're going to come up for everybody, but it's about what did you do about it, who did you lean on? Any lessons learned that you can share with the next guy.""We need to learn to be more comfortable in the uncomfortable, so that's okay."Resources MentionedEmail - [email protected] - https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966/Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter:

I really liked her take on some of the subjects she talked about on that show and wanted to find out more about her. Liz has a PhD in history and has a lot of interesting things to say about the Founding Fathers and early American history. On the show, we mostly talk about her background, her love for American history, and her podcast, Ben Franklin’s World. There is also a part where we geek out a little bit about Game of Thrones, so spoiler alert! Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio.
