42. Rob Lawrence: Connecting sound, language and emotion to create change

Host Sue Stockdale talks to Rob Lawrence, a podcast producer, coach and mentor about how the combination of sound and language can influence our emotions and can be a catalyst to create change. Rob talks about how he changed his career from being an IT professional into podcasting and coaching and how he is ‘obsessed’ with creating highly engaging listening experiences, and supporting aspiring leaders and coaches towards finding their own voice, audience and message. Rob's successful podcast, Inspirational Creatives, reached over 130,000 downloads in 2020 and taught Rob that you can create an audience organically, by consistently producing content you care about. His podcast contains interviews with over 120 creative entrepreneurs, artists and producers on “how to create a successful living doing what you love".Find out more about Rob Lawrence: Website www.roblawrence.co and www.inspirationalcreatives.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/robislistening/ Twitter http://www.twitter.com/robislistening Instagram http://www.instagram.com/inspirationalcreativesConnect with Access to Inspiration and read the transcription for this episodeWebsite - www.accesstoinspiration.orgTwitter http://www.twitter.com/accessinspirat1 Facebook http://www.facebook.com/accesstoinspirationInstagram http://www.instagram.com/accesstoinspirationLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/access-to-inspiration/Key quotes in this podcast:[3.29] Whatever it is, I'm listening to, I am having an emotional experience of sorts. And as that sound varies, my emotional experience varies too. And what I can say is I don't feel the same depth of experience with visual stimulation necessarily.[10.47] And what was really interesting to me was within the time that it took to walk from one end of the beach to the other, in my mind, he asked me three or four questions which completely changed my perspective on everything I did and how my life was at the time.[14.08] I love the ripple effect of podcasts. It's instant, it's global it's growing.[15.54] In order to make a positive difference, I think we have to think more consciously about everything that we do.[18.45] Is the next hour that I'm going to spend with this person, something that has the potential to lead towards positive change? If the answer is yes, that's the only measure I need on a day-to-day basis to keep going.[19.34] To me - to be inspired means to be moved. Perhaps a little bit more than that. It means to be moved positively towards wanting to create something.[21.50] It's really important we listen to ourselves and what we think. We all deserve the opportunity for our own voices to be heard, but not just by somebody else, but by ourselves too.[22.32] We all deserve that opportunity to be heard, but we also deserve the opportunity to create opportunities for others to be heard.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.
