In the interview, Alex and I talk about: her journey in storytelling what it takes to be a podcaster staying curious and mentally flexible to foster intellectual health how she maintains enthusiasm for teaching and producing podcasts learning from mistakes how not to focus on numbers as a podcaster You can find her at https://www.alexandradipalma.com/ https://www.dominosound.co/ Practical tips - Be adventurous and learn a new skill, in spite of that internal critical voice saying “I can’t”. The more complex, the better. There are plenty of ways to do this! You can enroll in an online course (without the pressure of having to get credits or a grade!), go to your local community college and try just one class per week, learn about a subject completely out of your comfort zone….For example, I’m taking a popular online class now with an extensive on demand library of classes. I’m learning about writing! I’m not a writer, but I sure am learning a lot about the art of communication using the written word! Be brave! Be curious!
