So, for me, I’m trying to build a full story arc. And when I’m sitting down and interviewing a guest I’m trying to get into ‘What is the core message? What is the core takeaway?’”“That [passion] was the only thing that was driving me. I didn’t know if I was gonna be successful at it. I still don’t know even know. I’m just always improving, always trying to raise the level each time.”“It’s kinda cliché. For 2020, I said that motivation is dead for 2020. I don’t wanna hear any more motivation quotes. I’m motivation quote’d out. That’s all y’all got is words.”“Until we get to that point…I’m gonna do everything I can do to break in here in this facet. So, immigration, what voice would not be better for this? Young, youthful, forward-thinking, inquisitive, really want to get to the facts, really want to understand what’s going on in this world and how, as a globe, that we can better understand each other.”THANK YOU SPONSORS!Register to Win Focusrite’s Podcast Studio MakeoverLINKS MENTIONEDEpisode transcription on ThistenFullCast WebsiteFocusrite $2300 Podcast Studio MakeoverPodcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupIan’s LinkedInImmigration Nerds Twitter – @immnerdsErickson Immigration Group WebsiteIan’s Podcast WebsitePodcast MovementLink to Immigration Nerds Podcast Episode featuring Jowanda JonesMake Noise: A Creator’s Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling
