🎙️ Want to start your own podcast? Here's how, step by step (free download).

Ever felt like you've been blindly following the 'gurus' and experts without checking in with your own instinct? You're not alone. 

In this episode, I chat about the importance of trusting your own intuition in decision making and the dangers of putting others on a pedestal.  

Here's what I cover: 👇 

- The danger of idolizing and blindly following "gurus" or successful individuals without using your own discernment.

- The value of listening and learning from everyone you encounter, regardless of their status or background.

- How to run information through your internal guidance system and trust your instincts.

- The reminder to back yourself and make decisions based on what resonates with your heart and gut.

I believe we can learn from everyone we meet. 

But in the end,  YOU are the expert in your own life.

After a long hiatus, due to the pandemic, I’ve recently started going to the cinema again, and it feels great. There’s something about seeing a film in a festival, actually in person, that feels extravagant…even if you have to still wear a mask.

Because, when you’re at a festival, you get to see the filmmakers in person, and often the actors or subjects too. It’s just exciting. You feel like you’re part of something.

The most recent film I got to see was at the Hot Docs International Film Festival, and it’s called Nalvany. It’s a documentary that was following Nalvany, if you don’t know, the unofficial opposition leader to Russia…a politician who might be able to beat Putin, if he was given a chance, perhaps if he was let out of jail. 

The film  is amazing, and you should totally find it. And I’m not going to spoil it for you, in case you don’t read the news. But it is a shocking, exciting film.

After seeing this film, I felt inspired all over again. And it got me thinking about how to tell a great story. What kinds of secret sauce goes into collecting of these kinds of stories that we all love to hear.

Now because you’re here, and we’re having this conversation, I’m going to let you in on a couple secrets about making documentaries. 

There are a few Golden Rules that we follow. And these rules work for both filmmakers and audio storytellers, podcasters, like me....and one of these rules is: Always Be Recording. ABR.

What that means, on a practical level, is that you turn on whatever recording recording device you’re working with, so sound, or video, you turn it on well before the thing that you’re actually are going to record, if it’s an event or an interview. . 

So whatever that thing is that you’re about to capture, if it has an actual moment, like an event, or even an interview, you turn the tape before you open the door, before you start the phone call, before you go and meet the person. Down the road and around the corner, kind of thing. No where near the story. Always Be Recording.

And then, that means that you capture the doorbell ringing, the door opening, the sound of voices greeting each other. The footsteps walking in or out. The sound the phone makes when it hangs up or picks up. The words that you say just before and just after…those words might seem unimportant, but dollars to donuts, the often make it in the final thing.

It this feels awkward, push through.

In the end, what you get is both a blessing and a curse...it racks up to hours upon hours of footage. But stick with it.

When I came back from Antarctica, I had over 100 hours of raw tape. And that boiled down to just over two hours and a bit hours of finished story.

At first glance, you could think that most of it was useless stuff...there were days upon days when I recorded everything, which seemed very interesting in the moment, but not so much after after.

But then later, you find yourself needing a scene to establish in the story, you need to start somewhere, you need to get the ball rolling and have a moment of pause before the moment begin. 

Because there’s something about un-produced sound effects feel much more real: An actual door opening, the beep of an elevator, the sound of shoes scuffing a hotel carpet floor. These details are so small that they are almost invisible. 

They can be the magic that pulls people into a story. Because, it’s real. It happened. And you were there. That’s the proof, it’s right there.  

And using this sound helps people see the things. Even when it's on radio.

So this story you’re about to listen to, Always Be Recording, was recorded when I met up with Alice Rhuweza at a hotel in Washington DC.  It was a follow-up interview, after we had returned from our trip.

And you can decide if this is this a story about nothing...A Seinfeld moment, or whether this set up, this scene, leaves you very curious for what happens next? Because now, you feel you’re in the room too.

On episode 46: Grandparents steal the show!

Oh, baking pies with grandma or building birdhouses with grandpa might sound like a quintessentially grandparental moment, but let's not forget the somewhat more interesting tidbits about the role of these important family members. For instance:

• Grandma glued to her police scanner to stay in-the-know about all of those "no-goods" out there. Her investigative bent taught the grandkids good research skills.
• Grandpa taking off his hollow, wooden leg to show off the treasures he'd tucked inside. Hey, it beat the mattress—and inspired in his grandkids a healthy distrust of banks!
• Grandma staying with her 2-year-old grandson for a week and introducing him to all the different kinds of candy in the bulk section of the grocery store. From her, he learned to question authority. His parents'.

Grandparents are precious. Sure, they're a little crazy-making sometimes, but aren't we all? Whenever you're tempted to lose your patience with granddaddy and maw-maw, grandmom and granddad, nana and gramps, or whatever your kids call your parents, just remember this: They are parents, too. Our guess is that there were probably plenty of times when they slapped a palm to their forehead and muttered to themselves, "I Shouldn't Have Had Kids." So, cut them some slack. 

Better yet, pick up the phone and give them a call. Tell them Bonnie and Ellen sent you.

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Mommy’s new boyfriend.

Mommy's new boyfr– wait. Whut??!! 

It’s our 40th show—the Ruby episode—and we are celebrating with a topic hand-selected by one of our OG PodSquad listeners! How in the world do you introduce your children to a new love interest?

Let’s get real. Dating after divorce is a bit of a minefield. And that’s on a good day. Throw in kids, however, and suddenly the landscape becomes shrouded in an I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-I’m-doing-mist. 

When to let your kids meet the person you’re dating is just the first complicated decision you’ll face. Should the new love of your life spend the night? What role should they play in your family life? And when do you tell your ex about the interloper into his or her child’s life? Most people would rather poke their eye out with a fork than call up the ex with THAT news. 

We have insight. We have experience. AND we have our first bona fide guest on the show this week! It’s a good one so pop in your ear buds and get ready to listen as we drop a little divorce drama on I Shouldn't Have Had Kids.

I published my first episode five months ago. What a journey in producing this content and sharing it with YOU, this has been! Following a year and a half year of planning - and the pandemic - deliberation, thinking and dreaming, I was finally hitting the record button. It’s been an exciting start!

Why did it take me that long? Well, I could attribute this to a long list of excuses. Some of them included being too busy, not sure whether I’d sound professional enough, and not having enough time. Looking back, I realize these were excuses - not reasons. 

As we approach 1000 downloads, this has been more of a learning experience than I would have ever imagined. If asked, I would attribute my podcast’s success to two things: dedicating one day of the week to podcasting (I have chosen Tuesdays for this) and having a set process. 

All in all, I am still learning, trying to improve my craft, and thoroughly enjoying the process.

This episode is dedicated to sharing the 10 big lessons I have learned in creating the Elevated Entrepreneurs Podcast, and some of the things I have loved and loathed while trying to navigate the growth of this show. 

Ready? Let’s dive in!
