More at www.justincastelli.io. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The AlignedLife Podcast Manifesto As podcasts continue to move towards being highly focused on downloads, subscribers, and other quantitative metrics many shows are chasing the same high-profile guests and these high-profile guests will only appear on podcasts with a certain number of subscribers or downloads, which I understand. However, this leaves us with the same podcasts getting the same guests and listeners constantly hearing the same stories. AlignedLife will not play this game. Instead, AlignedLife will focus on bringing new voices to listeners. The size of the guest’s audience does not matter. The number of previous podcast appearances does not matter. The guest’s “fame” does not matter. What matters is the guest has an important message, is someone I genuinely want to talk with, and is someone I believe has the potential to be on those famous podcasts in the future. There are far too many brilliant people with important messages and stories to tell, but never get the chance to be heard because they aren’t “big” enough—the size of someone’s audience or level of popularity is not necessarily a reflection of the value of their message; in fact, sometimes its the “unknown” that has the message that is needed because it hasn’t been heard yet. There is a list of high-profile guests for whom an exception will be made for because I am a huge fan of them and if I should ever have the chance to talk with them, I will not pass that opportunity up. List of exceptions: Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Rick Rubin, Russ, Rich Roll, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Steph Curry, Oprah, Rihanna, Ryan Holiday, Natalie Portman, Jay-Z, Eckhart Tolle, Mark Wahlberg, Cole Bennett, Jessica Alba, Jimmy Iovine, and Dr. Dre. ** I reserve the right to add to this list at any time I’m excited to spend more time finding fresh new voices to bring to everyone looking to master the art of living their authentic life. Keep Pursuing, JC

This last week I’ve written about the ending of one phase and the beginning of another.
I’ve started putting into motion actions that support this transition.
This morning I received a wink from the Universe confirming I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be—a story I couldn’t make up, even if I wanted to.

I shared a video of Roman’s highlights from the last couple of weeks of AAU basketball on Instagram yesterday. Instead of keeping the song he picked when he edited it, I overrode it with Larry June’s “Consistency”.
