The Idea of creating a podcast was conceived around fall of 2019, the reason was because i met and was talking to a friend named Jeremiah Patterson who inspired me to start it ! He's also a podcast host himself, and his podcast is about news, politics, and history. The link for his podcast will be in the find out more section ! Also in my journey I found many more other opportunites and passions such as motivational speaking, content creation, and voice acting thorugh via networking.
The inspiration of podcasting came from me disscussing what it was, when my friend Jeremiah Patterson explained to me what it is back in November of 2019. In march 2020, the first weekend I was locked in away from middle school in 8th grade. I decided to record and launch my first podcast episode in the same weekend. The day was March 21,2020 and ever since then, I have been consistent with recording,editing, and publishing episodes.
Furthermore, the podcast was orginally suppost to launch in november of 2019. I was very nervous that it would not do so well, but the Lord kept nudging me about it and so I work on the podcast on march 18. During this time i was locked in home due to the pandemic, and I launched the podcast and my first episode on march 21, 2020. By the way this is Jeremiah's Podcast picture
Originally Podcast Episodes were all over the place with different topics such as gaming, news, politics, health, motivational, self-help. I had to realize through consuming content in 2020 that I needed to do something better, which was figuring out which content stands out. And the content that standed out was my gaming and self-help content.
So what inspired me to change my content in 2021 was that I decided to rebrand my podcast to talk about self-improvement/pursing your purpose content because I had listen to the purpose pod ! Fun fact is that me and Allen Levi are both South Carolina Natives ! Allen Levi Simmons is host of the purpose pod where you can listen to figuring out what your purpose is, and it's purpose driven content.
Another podcast that inspired me was The No Job Podcast ! The No Job Podcast is where you go to listen if your willing to quit your boring job. He really explains good reasons to leave your job and pursue your purpose. Fun fact is that Najee and Allen are cousins ! If you click his podcast picture, you will have the link to his podcast.
Ever since watching the no job podcast premiere at the time i found my nieche and decided to rebrand my podcast on the 1st anniversary of it. I enjoyed the moment and everything was in place !
During the summer of 2021 the Lord was nudging me about creating a youtube podcast channel, and so I decided to create one and make sure that it would get launched in 2022. Through the help of GOD i also rebranded my podcast once again to start off fresh to kickstart the year of 2022, so that the channel and my audio podcast can feel new. The topic (self-improvement content) and the podcast name will be the same, but the only difference is that I changed the theme color to rebrand the podcast.
I've found my niche of course, but I've always been on the fence of changing my podcast name since 2021. The podcast is self-development content, and I give advice that could helps people grow in their life. Around the summer of 2022, I believe that GOD was revealing to me that I should change my podcast name because of the theme behind the podcast. The old name would have a fit, but it just seems to long and kinda out of place. Sometimes you gotta to change in order to expand and grow.
It's very unknown to understand where I found my passion for motivational speaking, but I would guess it spark when I started posting advice content on tik tok and on my first youtube channel. Also, the inspiration started growing even the more, when I launched my podcast youtube channel back in 2022.
The start of me speaking came from me posting on tik tok for the first time in 2021, and also when I had launched my first youtube channel back in 2021
Ever since launching the podcast back in January of 2022, I've had the feeling that speaking was in me. Especially because I was making so many motivational tik toks, youtube videos, podcast episodes, and interviews from other platforms in 2021 and 2022. Audio Podcasting helped me speak, but video podcasting boosted my confidence and helped me get out my comfort zone of not showing my face.
On October 6, 2022. It was lunch time for me during high school, and it was open mic during that time. So i decided to speak, even knowing I was very anxoius. I was able to get through it, and speak my truth. I studered and was shaking the paper I was holding, but everything was ok. I recorded a video that day, and editied the video so that my point can get across.
This is the video footage of my first motivational speech.
My Inspiration of Content Creation came from me producing my podcasting in 2020, so I decided to launch my first youtube channel in August of 2020. Around late 2020, I was getting burnt out of youtube content because in 2020 I was dealing insecurity of being on camera, the pandemic was really kind of a mental toll, I was also an inexperience podcast host and content creator. And I was dealing with some family members not accepting the fact that I wanted to be a content creator. At the time, my family was scratching they're heads, but eventually they understood my perspective. I returned in January of 2021, I launched my very first video of my youtube channel. Then, the following year I launched my video podcast channel and in late 2022 I launched my shorts channel.
This was my very first video where I actually started my journey in creating content that revloved around Self-Improvement. This video was very cringy, very funny, and even informational at the same time.
This was one of my best videos I ever made back in 2021 where I discussed how to boost your confidece
One of my last videos I ever did for my first youtube channel.
this was my first video episode of the podcast
this was one of my interview episodes from my podcats, I always try to interview people in the youth who are pursing their purpose.
in this episode I discuss about leadership, and how you should be a leader.
