I started a podcast almost 2 years ago - You Can Too! - EP95

from Ten Thousand Miles · host Vic Pepe

In this solo episode, Vic changes up the format and answers a question he gets all the time: why did you start a podcast? Recording from Aruba, Vic pulls back the curtain on the real story behind launching the show. He shares how a conversation with Adam Curry, known as the Podfather and one of the original pioneers of podcasting, planted the seed. From there, Vic walks through how the podcast came to life, the early gear choices, the learning curve, and why consistency and what he calls stickability matter more than perfection. Vic dives into the realities of podcasting that most people do not talk about. The costs, the lack of early monetization, the grind of putting out episodes that only friends and family watch, and the slow build that separates those who quit from those who keep going. He explains how the show evolved from early, lightly structured conversations into more intentional, better prepared episodes while still preserving authenticity and flow. This episode also highlights the unexpected rewards of podcasting. The relationships built, the caliber of guests that now reach out organically, and the opportunity to help others tell their story, especially people navigating career transitions or rebuilding after setbacks. Vic shares how one guest often leads to another and how curiosity, courage, and asking sometimes open doors far above your perceived weight class. Along the way, Vic offers practical advice for anyone considering starting a podcast. You do not need perfect gear. You do not need to be an expert. You do need consistency, preparation, and a willingness to show up week after week even when the numbers are small. This is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at 95 episodes of learning, growth, failure, resilience, and momentum. Whether you are thinking about starting a podcast, building a platform, or simply staying committed to something that matters to you, this episode is a reminder that progress compounds when you keep showing up. If you have ever wondered what podcasting is really like beyond the highlight reels, this episode is for you.

One Man Went To Row PepperDawesMedia Follow the journey, from training to finish line, of a man from Derby, UK who is going from having only ever rowed on a machine to rowing 3000 miles solo across the Atlantic...just after his 70th birthday! The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
