I'm your host, Sarah tra and my Wonderful or a
Beat guest and also the runner of new stream Yeah,
new Streaming Network, which is all about Roco and being
(01:16):
on other platforms. We're going to be talking about that
is Ceci Schetz. But she's a relationship builder and we're
going to be talking about that where it all started from.
And she's been building relationships for a long time. So
how did it leader down into the world of Roco
and TV and building a whole new platform which hasn't
been easy. Well, first of all, you've got to have
(01:38):
a relationship with self in order to have a relationship
in your business, people buy you before they buy from you.
So are you having that relationship and are you building
it properly? She says, embarking on transformative journey in the
realm of dating together with the esteemed Seshy fondly called
Dion of a relationship building in this illuminating episode, we're
(02:02):
going to be talking about the intricacies of transitioning into
the world of relationships. With her wealth of experience and
insightful perspective, she sheds lights on navigating the twists and
turns of modern romance. I think she's been watching Brixton
and whether you're embarking on a new chapter or seeking
to enhance existing connections, she see's here wisdom of his
(02:25):
invaluable guidance dis cover you know, you've got to listen
to the rest of the show. But also, you know,
the Going Solo Network is what kind of started it all.
She's helped hundreds of people interact to you know, find
themselves and find relationships and find that way forward. And
so she started this new stream network and it's home
(02:47):
of new Streaming TV, Going Bold Media, Going Solo Media CDSNDB,
Going Solo News Radio podcast, Roku TV. And so why
did she start all of this and what's it got
to do with relationships? Well, delighted to have you back again,
my dear. Everything's a relationship, isn't it. How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
It? Is? Absolutely it is, And thank you so much
for having me back. I love being on your show,
and I want to thank you for being part of
the new streaming network. So we are. We are just
delighted and honored to have all of your wonderful posting
and guests and everyone that you have that are associated
with you.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, when you get people with great wisdom, you know,
and it's there's learned wisdom from scholar and then there's
the life experience wisdom that really truly is enriching and abundant.
We don't want that to go to waste. You know,
we don't want it just be on a podcast that
somebody has to stream down and find. We want it
somewhere out there that is reaching more people. Because the
(03:52):
more people we can enlighten, awaken, lift up, and show
how empowering they really are, the better off we are
as human society. So what you're doing with the new
streaming giving that wider and broader platform, it's like me
with the books going into the books now, taking from
the podcast going into anthologies and extending that story. And
(04:14):
we put our summits and the shows on ROCO so
to extend that story out with you, to extend that
story out even more, it's extremely important that we share
that wisdom. And you are you know, all about relationships
and it's come from life experience, and it's come from
your passion and your calling. And it really is true
that if you want to have a relationship with someone,
(04:37):
you know, heart to heart friendship, relationships, relationships with family,
or relationships in business, you really have to kind of
look in first, don't you.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh? Absolutely, And yeah, it starts with you. I mean
you have to be able to you know, often I've
said in order to have a friend, you have to
be a friend, right yeah, so yeah, so yeah, you
have to really start with yourself and you know, not
only what you can receive from friendships, but what you
can also give back. And I think that's very important
(05:08):
because that's how you build because when you're when you're
actually you know, going back and forth and you're you're
helping each other build as as friends. And especially if
we're doing business, you know, for we're going into business,
we want to we want to have that type of environment.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I think a lot of people when it comes to love,
and I mentioned Bridgeton because of course it's the hot thing.
I don't have you seen it?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Oh I haven't. I watched it? I love exactly watch
it again.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah exactly. And actually I kind of like this this
the series they did going back, you know, to the
Queen and Lady what's the name of friendship? And it's
a guilty pleasure. It's like candy you shouldn't need, and
you know, it's it's kind of taking all the Jane
Austen's and you know, modernizing it. And but it's also
(05:57):
kind of a sense of desire in us, isn't it.
It's to find you know our our match, that hot
and steamy love that we would like to find in life.
But we're not taught as children or young people how
to place value and love on ourselves first, so that
somebody out there can connect with you on your frequency.
(06:20):
You're not looking for someone to define you or complete you.
That's up to you. Someone to compliment you, right, collaborate
with you, and someone that will share the journey with you,
celebrate you. But they're not there to fix you or complete.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You, right, They're to walk next to you. Yes, yes, absolutely, yeah.
I mean I think the show, if we're just just
talk about the show briefly, is that I have there
as many facets within it that I think is very
relatable to what you know, we go through here today.
And not only are they you know, looking to really
(06:57):
find that love of a relationship, you know they're find
their mate, right, but they're also looking there's a lot
of women within that show that are looking to find
their purpose. Back in those days, you know, women really
didn't have a voice. They didn't have anything like we
do today. We do have a voice that you can
hear us quite well, exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Even though it's husky today.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Back then, they didn't have that, so they were really
searching to find their way in life, their path in life,
and be more than what they were, you know, what
their their mothers were or their grandmothers were.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They were breeders. Really, they marry and turn out a
lot of kids, right, right, and that was it. So
it's like, you know, there was the and this was
the facade, the courting, right but once the ring was
put on it, men were back to their habits and
women were popping them out. And so yeah, you know,
you needed the kind of the Jane Austens of the
(07:53):
world and you know, even the Agatha Christie's and everything
to break those those barriers that we count too. And
I think that's something that we're still trying to teach
our young because you know, social media and things like
this and not really representing what relationships are, or what
(08:13):
relationships with ourselves are, our own responsibility of our own happiness,
you know, before we go seeking it with someone else.
And do you feel we're letting everybody down that way,
whether you're young or old, that there's there's some misconstruting
going on.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
With regards to working on ourselves.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, you know, kind of like, oh, you know, you'll
find love on TikTok or you'll find love elsewhere. You know,
it's I don't think people are encouraged that it all
lies within you, you know, go there first, and I
don't think people are aware of that.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Right, Well, it's your vibration. It's your vibration. So when
you're working on yourself, when you're starting to understand your
joy and life, your purpose in life, what you know,
what makes you tick, and those type of things, it's
an enlightenment, right, which radiates from you. And so whatever
platform you go on, that's going to come through, right
(09:11):
And so of course you know, if you're going to
be going on a platform where you have to write
a bio or buy something about yourself, you want to
keep it positive and uplifting and things like that. But
the reality is it's who you truly are, the core
of who you are, and you must let that radiate.
And when you let that radiate, when you work on
that and you let that radiate, what will happen is
(09:32):
those that want to be with you, you'll be attracted.
They'll be attracted to you just naturally that will come.
Then you can decipher who you want, right, you can
choose from. And so yeah, absolutely, relationships you know, as
they said across the board, whether it's with self, whether
it's in a love relationship, but are certainly in business,
you know, and I think what people want today.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You have to wear many hats in business, as you
have known in developing your streaming network, of the pivoting
from you know, the charm, the tangle will put together
in many ways, these are all many hats, but the
core of who you are as a human being should
be the compass.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Right, absolutely well. I mean again, no one wants to
do business with someone if they don't feel they can
trust them, you know, if you don't feel that you
have their back, and so you know, they're spending their
dollars hoping that they're going to get get you the
exposure and whatever, and they want to make sure that
you know you're an ethical person that you can you
(10:35):
can do that. But the so your core values again
are there and the relationships that you build are there.
I mean I give a lot of stuff away for free,
a lot of stuff for discounts, things like that, because
I feel our network, the the shows that are on
it are needed. They're ones that people need to hear,
(10:56):
and so I don't want that to be a hindrance
from someone not being able to do a podcast or
not being able to do a TV show simply because
they don't have the funding. But they've got great yes buys,
great information they want to share. And I know you
have the same philosophy.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
We have to charge because we got to keep the
lights on and we got to keep things going, and
we have to pay for things ourselves, and so we
do have to we have to charge. But people know
us for who we are and know that we'll do
everything we can to make it happen if we can,
if we have to give a discount, if we stretch
something out, or if we we work in a different
way barter or whatever, we you know, we try to
(11:37):
We try to make it happen for them. And that's
relationship building. That's understanding the other party and helping them
get through.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's respect, isn't it, you know? I mean, I think
this is everybody looks to trust. And of course we've
got so much fake, fake fake out there today. I mean,
how many times a day do you get dinged with
something or an email on something and it looks legit,
you know, I have, you know, being caught. You know,
I was actually in my bank account when something came
(12:06):
up while I'm in my bank account telling me I
need a survey, this and that, and then they're asking
me for my visa and things like this, and well
surely you know that, but it's in the bank account.
So I filled it out and it turned out to
be a fraud. How did they get in there? You know?
And that's the thing is that we have to be
so careful today. But that doesn't mean panic and don't
trust anything. It just means we've got to do a
(12:29):
little bit more due diligence. And that's why I think
relationship building in business or any level, get to know
the person that you're going to do any form of
transaction with. Do they feel real? Do you can you
feel that? You know from their frequency of vibration, because
anybody can say the words, but what's the frequency saying,
(12:49):
what's the vibe saying? What are you getting from this person? Well?
I'm hearing them, but there's something there. Listen to the
something there that warning, right, pay attention to that. That's
why we have to invest in time and build relationships.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Right, absolutely and I think too, in business, we have
to listen to our instincts, you know, as we're going.
I mean, I've done that many times, you know, and
I've gone out on a limb because people have suggested
I should do this or whatever, and because my relationship
with them, I trusted them and I thought, okay, all right,
you know they might know better than me, so I'm
(13:22):
gonna I'm gonna do this. I'll go ahead and walk
forward into this and thank goodness because here I am
today and things are doing. You know, we're doing very well,
and we'd like to do better and we hope that
we will grow. And so yeah, we want that forward motion,
you know, we want to keep moving forward.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I think so Also some people that really need to
understand in any form of business, you must build the
roots and the foundation. If you build them strong and
the trunk is strong, then you can branch out. But
a lot of people want to go in and you know,
the branching, the branching, but what about the call? What
about the roots? Because if they're not strong, it doesn't
(14:03):
matter how much brilliant idea and connections and everything else
you got out there. You knew you will crumble and
so you know you have due diligently along with new streaming.
You've been going down this avenue and that avenue and
it wasn't strong enough of the roots, It wasn't supported
enough of the roots. Very frustrating. Oh believe me. I've
(14:23):
gone down those roads where you think is this it?
And you go to realize, no, it isn't. But if
you believe in the message enough, right, if you believe
in what you're doing, you go, Okay, this didn't work.
That doesn't mean the idea isn't good. It just means
that avenue isn't good. And then you're willing to because
when now you've got a head full of knowledge throwing
(14:47):
down the next avenue, is this one better for you?
And if we're not willing to kind of trial and tribulation,
we're not going to get there. But bottom line is
what about the foundation and the root of it? Is
it really based in something that is the core value
of the core message? The coal mission? Uh? And from
there can people feel when you're talking to them that
(15:10):
this is coming from somewhere deep?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Right? Yeah? I believe our our network is built like
that's as yours is too, Because I think it's that's
why it's very strong, and we're all it's really about
getting you know, good quality, you know, helpful, informative, you know,
information out to the masses that need to hear it
that I want to hear it, that are just craving
to hear you know, positive uplifting and information that they
(15:37):
can move forward on. And so yeah, so we've been
with that's that's our you know, our trunk.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So technology is it's kind of like a spider web.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Changing.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I know it is, but here that's the thrill of it, though,
is building the business, you know, and building relationships with
people is because they're all in the same boat I'm in, right,
They're all going at warp speed with technology too. And
so when you start forming you know, relationships with other people,
you know they're in the technology field, they help, they
(16:11):
kind of help you along and say, oh well how
about this and how about that. I get calls all
the time from people that will give me a call
and say, hey, I found I heard about this platform
or that platform and maybe you want to look at it,
and and that kind of thing. Because what I want
to do and because when I started my show years ago,
I was doing the marketing myself. Nobody was doing it
(16:33):
for me. And then I realized, well, there's got to
be other people needing the same thing I need, right,
I need help with this, and a lot of people
such as myself. When I first started, I was working
a full time job doing my show, you know, part time,
and so I thought, well, maybe I could I could
fill that gap, Maybe I could do that, and I
had an interest in it, and so that's how that
(16:54):
kind of started with progressing it out, and it's just
grown from there. And so my I used to get
all kinds of people saying, oh, you should just have
them go to your website, don't have them go to
different I said, people are not going to just go
I want them to my website. But they're not going
to just go to my website. They're going to want
to listen on Spotify or iHeart Er. They're going to
(17:16):
want to go to Roku or on TV or kick TV.
They're going to want to go where they're normally going.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, their favorite channel.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Right, So we're all in there where you're going. So
wherever you're going, we're going. And so if I can
figure out how to do it, that's what that's where
we're going to be. And so like right now we're
in all fifty states where in many countries were I
think fifty nine different platforms we're on. We have our
own streaming radio station, which that's what we started with.
(17:45):
That's some and so we have that and we started
with the singles. That was my mind, yeah, going, So
that was my heart there because I, you know, was
through a divorce and single, myself, not knowing what I
was going to do, feeling lost, just like a lot
of these shows we talk about, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
So also in business, how many people start off as solopreneurs, right, so, yes,
it takes a totally different meaning. Yes, so I've been
sol over the last eleven years doing this.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, yeah, you're right, You're right. But yeah, so it
just you know, it's just blossomed from there, and so
we just kept keep adding and adding and so now
I have to kind of sometimes I have to back
up a little bit to try to make sure I've
got them all covered, you know, before I can move
on to the next one. But yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
like me, you know, it was from there, you know,
(18:36):
started books. You know, I did an e book back
in twenty seventeen, but I didn't like the publisher I
was working with, and so, you know, it just kind
of took different directions for a while. And then this
last year was no, you know that there's too many
shows where the story has to continue. So for me,
(18:58):
it went into anthologies and the you know, of course,
you know, our first book, which we're very proud of,
is Our Forgotten Children, and this is bringing awareness around
children and what's wrong and what we need to put right.
And then of course I have a business book coming
out now for coaches, you know, mastering your Self Discovery
Wisdom from renowned coaches, and that is a business opportunity.
(19:19):
But they get to play on your rocal, new streaming
and everything else.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
They get to do summits, et cetera. And it's like
the more you are doing something, the more you realize
that's missing. I need to create it or I need
to look for it, right, I need to expand on it.
The story needs to go. For me, it's the books.
For you, it's the rocal TV and all the streaming
platforms where I can go and put the shows on
to extend that story. Even more so, it's when you
(19:46):
get that feeling something's missing or is there anything that
can serve this? No, then I need to create it.
And that's the thing is that again comes from the
care though. Our core belief when both absolutely has been
done many shows together, is we want people to benefit
(20:07):
from the wisdom. We want people to benefit from listening
to other people, having a relatability to what's been said haha,
moments walking away with skills and tools, or reaching out
to that person saying you're the person I'm looking for
to help me. This is the reason why we do
what we do, but how we do it we trust
(20:28):
the feeling along the way. This month, I celebrated eleven
years of my own network. I've been doing podcasting now
for twelve years. When I first started podcasting, did I
know I was going to be here twelve years later?
Absolutely not not. But boy am I excited? I am?
And you started off a going solo because you were
(20:50):
divorce and you wanted to address that. And look where
it is now, and look what going solo means. It's
not just about after divorce. It's going solo in business,
going solar in so many things, and you've branched out
into so many things. Some people look at well, can
you make up your mind? Go No, this is a
tree with many branches, but the tree and the roots
are strong. The branches are just all the different avenues
(21:14):
that we can cover that from this call message.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, and I do believe that, you know, somewhere along
the line there something happened to me that there was
I don't know, I don't want to say a voice
or something like that, but but I was yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
No, no, those voices, darling, listen to them to come
and take you away.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I was, yeah, please don't. But but I was distriven.
I mean, I had this feeling that this is what
I needed to do, and I would go to bed
at night, I'd wake up in the morning and I'd
have all this in my mind, all these things that
I had to do. It's like I was constantly filled
with I had to do this, I had to do this,
I had to do this, and you know, I just
(22:00):
feel like it was just a path that I was
supposed to go on. And I'm just grateful that I've
just been able to build wonderful relationships with people that
have come on, Like you know, Rosalind Sadakas was one
of the first hosts on our network, and she's still
with us today. Some of the people were saying, oh,
we've been here three years now, we've been here four
(22:21):
years now, and it's like, and I go, it hasn't
been that long. It seems like it was yesterday for me.
You know, I'm still excited. I'm thrilled.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yes, And I had hosts for the first oh gosh,
five or six years. Actually it's through COVID. Kind of
people dropped because of COVID, and then I kind of
brunched down into mentorship directories and things like this. And
I was doing eight shows a week, so I really
couldn't take on the hosts and do all their work
as well. So it was okay, fine, you know, for me,
(22:50):
now it's going to be the books, and I said,
a mentorship directory where people can expand out even more
and concentrate on that. And actually, one of my old hosts,
who she was with me for years, is just saying,
can I come back? Because she's pro so I don't
need to worry about chasing her. So she wanted to
(23:11):
come back, no problem at all. But you know what
I do now is like I have your banner on
my show. Banners with all of your links and everything.
So when people go to that, they're not only find me,
they find all everything else because it's it's association and collaboration,
and so I don't have to have the host and
(23:31):
be doing all the editing and everything else. I can
celebrate other people's work because you're doing the same. And
I think that's where we're looking at nowadays. Is that
where it used to be, No, you've got to sign
up and do this and that. No, Now we can
just look at how we merge, how we can expand on,
you know, how we can support each other, because really,
when it comes down to business, especially women in business,
(23:53):
if we want to get further ahead, it is very
very much about supporting one another, isn't it. Yes?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
And I think both men and women, I'm very strong
in feeling that, and it definitely is happening. It's definitely happening.
And so we're just yeah, we're just going, We're just
grabbing it and going, aren't we. I mean, I hate
to say it, it's like I don't want to think
that there's no rhyme or reason to this, because there is.
We are very calculated and what we do do and
(24:21):
we work very hard at what we do, but it
was saying that it's very important that this information gets
out to the masses, and we want to make sure
that they do that. And then we've got to figure
out a way that all of everyone can monetize. So
not only myself, but those that are the hosts and
the guests and all of those that come on. We
want to make sure that we can somehow figure out
(24:44):
a way that they can make some money along the
way that they can keep doing what they do well exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yes, because you know, it is all in a podcasting.
You know, it's you know, I've had people sorry, you're
doing it or wrong, You've got to charge that. You
got to charge that, and for a little while I did,
and then go, No, all I'm getting is the same
type of people, which is just pitching their work. It's
not the story. I want people with the story, and
(25:11):
not everybody has the money. So I have a donation
platform and there's there's kind of a minimum donation requirement
and less you simply can't afford it, and then that's fine,
it's free will. I have to do it on free will.
And Sarah, what kind of business is that? And I said,
it's my sole business, and my soul tells me to
do it this way and right, and I have to
(25:32):
look at making money in other ways. But there's the
donation button and it's but you're not running it very well,
and I go, maybe not. But I look at the
three thy six hundred shows we've got here plus and
I look at that as where the human resource is rich, right,
(25:52):
And for me, that means, like you, somebody is looking
for some information, the loss at a crossroads of life
of they just don't know if there's an answer. If
they're willing to go through our libraries, they will find
a show that speaks to exactly where they're at at
that moment, giving them what they need to know. Right.
(26:14):
So that's the reason why we do it. The wisdom
and the information is there for the clicking. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I was just talking to somebody yesterday about that about
you know, I don't charge you know, we don't charge
anyone to listen to our shows, to watch our show.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
No god, we could do that.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I mean, I've broke who in all those I could
set it up to where it's you know, pay per
view that kind of thing. Yeah, but I don't want
that because I want someone to be able to if
they need to hear it, if they're looking at thinking
that they're the you know, they're on their last leg,
they don't think they'll be able to get through. I
want them to be able to listen to these shows
and not worry like, oh, I don't have enough money
(26:52):
to pay for this, so I can't I can't listen.
I want, you know, so we can monetize in other ways. Yes,
And I love how you're doing. And I love the
donation thing because I do think that people will give
when they realize what a good you know, what a
good platform it is, they will give.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Most people, you know, will least pay my thirty five,
And for Roko, I charge a different fe because that's
a different thing, and very often they will pay more.
And then for those that simply can't but they have
a wonderful story, the story is more important, right right,
And we have no idea how impactful that particular story
(27:30):
is for somebody. I mean, I've literally had people say
to me that show saved my life. Mm hmm, I
heard it at the right time. Now, I've had other
people say that to me too. But if if only
one person. If only one person's life has been saved
because of this, isn't that already enriched? Isn't that already abundant?
(27:52):
And I think what people need to understand both of
us come from the core of enrichment. We already feel
I'm so enriched by what we do that, yes, we
need the money to keep on doing it and keep
the roof over the head, keep the lights on those
you put it. Yes, we need that. That's a neecessary evil.
We need the money, But we already feel so enriched
(28:14):
for dream what we're doing, because I know you like me.
Some of the stories you hear, some of the things,
and it's like you marvel at how people can get
through things and the courage and the strength and the
winningness to go through the pain to come out the
other side and be who they are today. Helping other
people is illuminating, an exemplary and it's encouraging because inspiration
(28:39):
begets invitation, and when people are inspired, they're inviting. Can
I is that possible in me? Could I be that
person that was an ordinary person? People say who do
you interview? And I got ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Do you interview celebrities. I said, I celebrate everyone. They're
all celebrities to me. Although I have interviewed celebrators, celebrities
(29:00):
bestom line the celebrities are ordinary people who have done
no extraordinary things.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yes, I mean we all. I think everyone you know
has that. They all have a story within them. And
you do, you know, with your books and everything you
do bring that out very well, which is really wonderful.
But it is true. I mean, it is there. And
then what's so nice about the internet is that they
can capture these shows whenever they need to hear them,
so if they're late at night they can't sleep, they
(29:29):
want to do it. That's how we started the radio stuff.
It's like, because my my divorce group, they said to me,
can't you do something so we could have something positive
to listen to at three o'clock in the morning where
we can't sleep, And that's how the radio station started.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
And you never know where it's going to catalyze from right,
it's wonderful. Look where it is today. Thank you ladies
for having insomnia.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
No, it's wonderful. And then and then we just blossomed out.
I had a gentleman with the same thing like you.
He said, I was going to stop doing my show.
I was thinking, oh my gosh, I doing this so
much work, you know, and you know, and he came
to me. I went to a party and he came
up to me, and I never met him before, and
he goes, oh, Seezy, I'm so glad you're here. I
saw that you had signed up for this party. You
(30:12):
were going to come, and I wanted to meet you.
And I said, oh, okay, And and you know, I'm like, wow,
this is different, you know, And he said, well, I
just wanted to know. I went through a divorce and
I had to work, and I was like in Japan
and I was traveling and I and it just got
me through. I just you know, he said, I listened
to all the shows. It just helped me so much.
Your network is so wonderful. And I thought, okay, I'm
(30:33):
not giving up exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
This is our calling. This is where all of the
experiences that we've had in life have led to, right.
And that's the thing is when you understand that kind
of gift of what you've been given, and then sometimes
you question, what the hell did I go down that road?
Why did I do this or that and then you
realize it was to have the experience or to acknowledge
(30:58):
the experience that does even go through. So then when
we do do these interviews and we do understand the
importance of bringing certain stories to you, it's because we
have either been on the other end of it or
viewed it along the way, and we know how important
having that support from other people is. So I love
it when people I call it the cosmic nudge nudge
(31:22):
wink wink, or or two by four and we all
get a nudge nudge wink wink. You got a nude
judge wink wing of that, and you started that journey,
and you want to listen to your nud nudge win winks,
and not too many cosmic two five fourth. There are
so many people that had had the cosmic two by four,
maybe not once, maybe not twice, maybe three times and
finally get it and finally realize that they needed to
(31:45):
pivot and then walk away from sometimes the six figure income,
the popularity, the everything else they fought was important, and
go down a road of authenticity, the inner journey, and
come up more enriched and abundant for it, and so
grateful for that cosmic two by four that came along,
(32:06):
although at the time felt catastrophic. And I think hearing
when people hear stories like them and they're going through
that crisis moment and they feel that that's all there is.
They're in that crisis and that's all they can see.
Hearing that there is a way through and that there's
a reason for the crisis, right. And then it is
that choice of what you want to feed and how
(32:28):
you want to move forward. It's almost the hand coming
through saying I've got you, let's take you forward.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Absolutely, Yeah, the inspiration and a lot of people don't
they don't know where they're going and what their purpose is,
what are they going to do from here? A lot
of them have been in long term marriages, you know,
because we have a lot of relationship with so long
term marriages. Then they and then all what they're going
to do now, right, And so a lot of these
shows that we have on are very inspirational, they're very informative,
(32:57):
and it allows them to be able to start questioning
them selves and questioning what it is that they truly
want for the rest of their life and think about
the beauty of that is to have the choice of
what you want to do for the rest of your life,
the choice of your future. You know, it's not like
you have to do a particular thing. You go to work,
you got to do whatever. And now we're actually in
(33:17):
the driving seat, you know, making choices in our lives.
So yeah, I think it's a wonderful thing. I think
what you do is fabulous. And again it's an honor
to have your your show on our network. So we're
just very pleased, very pleased for that.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
For some people, being in that driver's seat is the
first time in their life. M true, all right, and
the suddenly behind the wheel, this wheel is not only
your responsibility, it's your liberation. Where do you want to go?
And they've been for so long driven around with no choice,
(33:53):
and then that choice in front of them can be
rather daunting for some people. Suddenly I've got troice and
responsibility and I get to choose where I'm going. And
for some people it's like, well, this is wonderful, but
what do I do with it? Or how do I
do it? And you know that and when you come
through divorce, you're not the same person. I remember going
(34:18):
to an orchestral concert and there was a young man
there that was really good looking, and I thought, oh,
he's really good looking, and I felt I'm looking at
him from the young woman I was before I'm married.
I'm now in my forties and he's clearly in his
twenties right, And it's like, I don't know how to
(34:40):
be that same single woman at my age now because
I'm remembering singlehood from before marriage, not after marriage. There
is an adjustment to be had in everything on every scale.
And the more you hear other people that have gone
through it and develop your relationship with self, because this
is the one that's important. This is the one that's
(35:03):
going to go with you for the rest of your life.
This is the one that will never let you down
if you treat you right, or him write, whatever the
relationship is, it is all about that self discovery of
who you are now. This is your forte. This is
what you do as a business. But you've just taken
it even further with the podcasting and the streaming to
(35:24):
bring that knowledge further out. But that's your true passion,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Oh? Yeah, absolutely, Because what I've realized is that those
that are traveling that trying to figure out what they
want to do in life, or who they are, who
they are now stepping into this new person really of
who they are trying to find themselves. Again, there's a
lot of facets to that, so it's not only just
self that's trying to find. They're trying to figure out,
(35:49):
you know, their joy, their you know, what makes them tick.
They're trying to figure out the career, financial, There's so
many different things. And somebody said to me one time,
well what do you what do your people listen to?
And then I said, your well, what do your people
listen to? Yeah, exactly, I think we listened to the
(36:09):
same things, you know, and we should be all listening
to the same step because we needed that enrichment, right,
We need that powerful enrichment. And I thought that was
so amazing. You just cracked me up. Never forgotten that.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Yeah, I know, it's always those little things, isn't it.
But you know the whole thing I say to people.
I encourage people to have podcast parties, listen to the podcast,
take notes, and then share those notes afterwards. One person
got this from it and saw it from that angle.
Somebody saw it from this angle. You're sharing all the angles.
Now you've got a big round picture on it, and
(36:44):
it entices the conversation to keep on going, which is
what we want to have, the conversation to keep on going.
And whether you are a person that is single, newly divorced,
or single and wanted to get My daughter's turning forty
two this year. She's in a relationship probably won't last,
and there wasn't marriage. She's a free batterfly children know
(37:06):
she loves being an aunt, right, So for her relationships
have always been she gives more than she gets. Let's
put it that way, right. Have a son getting married
this year and he'll be turning forty. So he's had
always long term relationships and finally found on whom I
introduced him to that he's now put a ring on it.
So and my other daughter and her husband bought me
(37:29):
this house. And talk about relationships, right, but that relationship
that we have with self is not something that we're taught.
And I think for an awful lot of people. You
know somebody that's going through a divorce. I remember when
I said I was leaving my husband, somebody said, oh no,
don't you don't know what else is out there? You
may as well live the devil you know and like
(37:51):
of what right? So I encourage people who aren't divorced,
who aren't single, who are are happily married, to listen
because you know somebody going through this, and now not
only can you speak to it better, you can empathize better.
You can be there for that person with better understanding.
(38:11):
Just because it's not your shoe right now doesn't mean
that you shouldn't try them on and actually understand what
other people are going through. Right.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Well, that's why we started the Going Bold because I
realized that going solo right was kind of stepping forward
from a relationship loss or or you know of some
sort of weather or you by widow by or by
you know, divorce. But you know then when you get
through that, you have to continue that self development and
you have to still feed that inner child, right, you
(38:42):
have to continue on and so and we want to
learn new things, right, We want to open the world up,
open our doors up, and be able to learn different things.
So that's why we started doing the Going Bold media
is to bring all of those things in. So those
out there that are married, say, okay, if you want
to keep your relationship, you need you need to keep
(39:03):
building yourself. You know, you need to keep working on yourself,
making you the best person you can be for not
only yourself but for your partner, right, and that will
help you. And so that's why we started the Going
Bold so we could do that. So then we incorporated
both of them together under the new streaming network. So
everything is still there, everything's still the same, We just
(39:24):
kind of have a little bit of a division. So
one day we might do Going Bold shows, another day
we might do Going Solo shows, those kind of things.
So yeah, but great content, great content that's out there.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yeah, I broke I realized that I had one or
two genres, and I realized that I couldn't put everything
under one because then it's like, you know, the streaming,
So I broke it up into different categories, different genres,
so you know people which genre and sometimes you know
cross genres. So which one do we put it under?
It fit under two or three? You know which one
is the core message because then when people do come
(39:57):
to the site, they can actually oh, I'm interested in
that mental health for physical health or relationships, or I'm
interested in business, or I'm interested in spirituality of children,
are music, are animals? You know, I've got it all there.
There's nineteen of them and they can then pinpoint the
shows in there. So there aren't so many a few
hundred underreaches that have you know, the thirty six hundred
(40:18):
plus streamlining you're going to be lucky to come across.
And I think that's important for people, you know, to
have that breakdown, have that division. Well, yeah, I am solo,
I'm going solo. That's good for me, Going bold, Yeah,
I've been there. I need the next level and it
helps people knew more direction that they're going in and
you know, and of course you've got other people under
(40:39):
your banner with their own shows like me and so
that then again it's life is like a box of
chocolates and you're given us a whole range there right right.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
Well, yeah, like on the Roku channel, you know your
channel is on there, so under our news Streaming new
Streaming it's underneath the app is if you want to
download it, it's called new Streaming TV, and so you
can download the app on Roku, doesn't cost you anything,
and your channel is right there. Self discovery with some
TV is right there, and so we have things like that,
(41:13):
we have Going Solo TV, Going Bold TV we have
mine which is going solo with CCTV. We have you know,
some business, we have various different ones, so yeah, the
same way, and we hope to add more. So if
anyone out there is listening and they have a podcast
TV type of show, we'd love to bring them on
our rokup. You can either come under our our banner,
(41:36):
you know, under our shows, or you can have your own,
you know, segment and playlist type of channel under our
our flag. So yeah, so we would love that.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
And of course that you're not just rocow TV. They'll
be on your YouTube platform, Spotify, Podchaser podcast at Amazon Music,
iartdz as speaker, so you run all of those platforms
as well, and sure lightly because you know, you suddenly
find one that you are oh we're closing down at
the end of the month, and so it's like what
(42:08):
am I going to put up to replace there? I
think I've got sixteen audios and three video platforms, and
of course people want to pay that extra thing can
go up on the roco on your platforms as well,
so that exposure is there. And why do you do
a podcast when you have some future shares because you
want people to hear it, so you know, and that's
where the cost is is pain to make sure that
(42:29):
that it is heard all the way out there.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Well. The other thing is too, Sarah, is that you're
catching the audience. So like, let's say, for instance, you
started the show by yourself, right and you've got your
show out on a couple of different platforms. That's fine,
they can stay there, it doesn't matter. You keep doing
that if you want. But if you put it on
our platform and you also capture our audience, yeah, So
what happens is they'll come in and listen to maybe
(42:54):
they might come in and listen to my show, and
then Sarah, they see yours and they go, wait a minute,
self discovery with some TV what's this? I want to
see what this is? And they can see the titles
of the shows and things like that, and they might
start jump on and listening in that. We had some
analytics done a while back and they said that those
that go on and listen on our programs, they listen
(43:17):
four hours at a time, They binge watch, they watch
our stock and that's that is such a big compliment,
a huge compliment that they do that.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yes, and because they're really absolutely immersed in it. And
it's like when you know and yeah, I don't. I'm
sure you get as well. You know, why aren't you
shows around ten to fifteen minutes as so, because I'm
not there for the short attention span, you know. I
One thing I love, which I'm sure you find as well,
is that generally the person is sharing the first hour,
(43:48):
you know, the topic and this and that, and that
second half hour you know it's there are the onions
are coming away, the layers are coming away. They completely relaxed,
and some beautiful, juicy information comes out. And our shows
like yours and mine are for the people that really
want to listen deep, that want to come out with
(44:10):
a whole bunch of nuggets, that want to come out
feeling different and feeling inspired. And so it's for the
people that truly want to hear. And I will say
my motto is listen, learn and apply. Because you're listening,
you're learning all the time. What application can you make
from this? And it's either reach out to the person
(44:31):
or what next step do you need to do? But
it's for the people that are truly hungry to learn right.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
Well and also connect because I guess the smaller shows,
you just watch them. They like reels and things. They're
just so you just watch them. When they're done, you
don't think about them again. Right. But when you said,
and you listen to a show, our shows are usually
sixty minutes long or forty minutes, I should say about
forty minutes, because you have to allow for commercials or whatever.
So you figure forty forty five minutes. You connected with
(45:01):
that person, You've connected with the host, you've connected with
the guests, you've connected with the subject, and you you
immersed yourself in it. And I think that that's really
a great thing because that's where you're going to have
the change in your life, not a little five minute
listening to and moving on. It's when you immerse yourself
into something, that's when you start really starting to absorb
(45:22):
it into your mind, into your knowing, into the way
of life. And so it makes a change for you.
So our motto is changing lives, connecting and changing lives,
one talk show at the time.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Yeah, exactly. And that's the passion and the conviction behind
it all, which is wonderful. You know, I've I'm a
part of this book. Mission excepted to sixty two or
two hundred and sixty two women in the book, and
now we had twenty two summits and there's more to
come and I've been interviewing the people from there so
so far I think I've done forty and I've got
(45:56):
to line up more of more people to do. And
you've them talk on the summit, which has been absolutely
wonderful that you know, there's been some incredible stories that
have come out. But now on the show, I can
go deeper and you know, kind of more round her
and just and there's led it out and keeping it
(46:16):
under the hour is difficult for me because I always
find out the top of the hour is like when oh,
you know, the nectar is coming out. So no, my
shows are always longer, unfortunately or fortunately it depends which
where if you're immersed into it or not. I had
a Kimberly Butler, who is a celebrity photographer. She's photographed
all the presidents, she's was Barbara Walter's personal photographer, and
(46:41):
she's photographed all the stars and everything like this. But
boy has she had some stories to tell. And I
looked up at the clock and if at where it's like,
you know, we got ten fifteen minutes to go, and
the next thing, I looked up and god, we've been
talking two and a half hours. I like, it's just
that one story after another coming out, and I was
so lost in the stories that were coming out and
(47:02):
I didn't remember the time. And it's like, I don't care.
I know that people that are going to listen to
the first part of this are just going to be
like me, gobbling up the rest of it. And that's
the beauty. That's when you know, you feel like you've
had a good meal, right, you've been fed. Is when
you just forget time and you're totally immersed in the story.
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, it's it's terrific and you take away a lot
of nuggets that you can apply to your life, you know,
on listening to other people's stories. So yeah, so you
get sometimes it's just inspirational, you know, you get that charge,
you know, absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
I know that, you know, if the twelve years are
doing this, especially last the last eleven, how much I've changed.
I am a totally different woman to the woman that
started this off. I think I finally come into Sarah
and who Sarah is, what Sarah is here to do, unapologetically.
Can we say sorry to everything? But you know, it's
(48:03):
like I was always apologizing for my life, and it's
like I don't do that anymore. How much has it
changed you personally listening to all these stories and over
the years.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
Oh gosh, I can't can't begin to tell you. And
I always tease the host. I always say that I'm
your best audience because I listen even when you know,
and I have hired someone help me do a little
bit of the production, you know, things like that. So
but I still go back and listen to the shows
because I get something from it personally. So yeah, it
(48:35):
definitely has changed me. It's made me, I think, a
much stronger maybe a little bit more independent woman, you know,
because when I started out after my divorce, I didn't
think I could do anything. And then I started thinking, well, shoot, man,
I helped him build his business. Why do I think
I can't build mine own?
Speaker 3 (48:53):
Exactly? Oh yeah, and I think that, you know, this
is the reason why I changed the name to self Discovery.
And yes, so my station has been a few names
for the years, and then we were talking wisdom all
the time and it was self Discovery Media, and you know, media.
You know. No, it's about the wisdom, so you know,
discovery of our own wisdom that lies within, that's through
(49:14):
our life experience, through opening up to those divine channels
you know, coming through, and that self discovery when you know,
I was saying, one of the best things is when
you get a moment to pause and reflect back. And
like you, I was told. I was brought up, told
I couldn't do anything. Yet I seem to do things
(49:34):
for other people very well, how come I couldn't do
it for me? Right? So you know, and it's and
here I am. You know, people say you do your
own editing, you do your own uploading, you do your
own blogs, you do your own this and that. And
I say, I wear all the hats. I can't say
every hat fits well, but I do all the hats. Right,
(49:54):
it's my baby, my passion. Would I like some help?
And I've tried looking for that help along the line
when it's not the right kind of help. So it's
when it comes great. But I think it's that discovery
of And I love this word. I was introduced to
it a few years ago, and I love it. How
flawsome we are. We've all got flaws which comes from
(50:18):
lessons of life, right like the cracks in the ball
where the Japanese fill it up with gold and it
becomes more valuable. I said, No, we fill those cracks
up with self love. And the more we do that,
and the more love that each of those cracks are
filled with, the more abundant and enriched we are, and
the more that we realize how awesome and flawsomely we are.
(50:40):
And I think that's a wonderful discovery for people to have.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, that's a wonderful way of looking
at it.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
It's a great word too, isn't it flawsome?
Speaker 4 (50:51):
Yeah, yeah, that is great. Yeah, I'm taking away from
taking away great stuff from you.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
I love this.
Speaker 4 (50:59):
It's everywhere. But yeah, it's wonderful. Well, you know, I
I do. I just I know how you feel, you know,
with regards to your the passion of what you do,
because I'm the same way.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
I why I'm on your network that Yes, yeah, I try.
Speaker 4 (51:17):
Trying to release a little bit, but you know it,
but I have hired somebody to kind of help me
a little bit. But I still am very hands on
with it. But because it's it's my dream, right, it's
my passion, it's my vision, and so I want, I
want to continue on with it. And I was funny,
I was going to tell you a story about I
was talking to someone the other day about it too.
And and when I was a little girl, I got
(51:39):
in trouble at school because I got, you know, a
note sent home because I talked too much. And my
mother said, what are you going to do in life
if you're just going to be talking all the time.
You can't just talk all the time. I blest my
mother's heart. She died very young, but she I think
up in heaven she's probably having the last life because
(52:00):
here I am talking my way through each and every day.
I'm and loving and loving what I do.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
So, yeah, do you have your own show where it's
just you?
Speaker 4 (52:11):
Yeah? I do. I have the Going Solo with c C.
I do.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (52:15):
I do several shows. I do Going Solo with c C.
I do Date the Right One, I do Going Solo,
Life After Relationship Loss. I do biz Buzz igniting success
in business. And I also have an author's corner and
I want the author, which is one of my favorites,
(52:36):
because how fascinating are the authors, gifted individuals, gifted and
talented individuals. So that's one of my very favorite favorite
shows that I do. And I interview a great deal
with regards to the business, the authors and some of
the others. But I also try to do someone on
one shows. I get requests for that all the time.
(52:58):
I get topics and they ask me to to actually
tell my opinion and you know whatever of staffs. So
I do that.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
I've got Sarah's view of life. So sometimes it's a
ten minute show, depending howf behind I am, or sometimes
half an hour, and it's and very often it's like
what am I going to talk about this week? And
a word will come into my head and on goes
to the microphone and there I go. It's never very
rarely planned. Sometimes I might write it out because it's
(53:26):
the that came first, but very often it's the verbal
and then to the written And AI, You're wonderful because
it helps me a great deal with a lot of
the structure and things like that, which helps a great deal.
But yeah, it's a it's you know, Sarah's view of life.
It's just my perspective on things. And it could be
(53:48):
ten minutes, it could be half an hour, but the
rest is all interviews with other people. I get what
you mean about authors, but also one of my favorites
I've at for the love of music. I love interview musicians.
They're already in the heart and the soul and their passion,
right They're already there at one They are the music,
and we're sharing that passion and conviction. They're not in
(54:08):
discovery maybe how to make a living out of it,
but you know, they're already in that. And music's very
big to my heart as well. But the thing is, like,
what isn't there to be passionate about when you've got
people on the other end that are living their passion
right right? Rubs off and it, Oh, it feels so good.
Speaker 4 (54:31):
I know, it's just fun. It's I really love what
I do. I mean absolutely. I work hours and hours
and hours, and some people will tease me when I
send the email at one o'clock in the morning, aren't
you sleep? And don't you sleep? And that, you know,
I just forget what time it is when I'm doing things,
and because I love what I do, And so isn't
that a wonderful thing to actually love what you do?
Speaker 3 (54:53):
Absolutely? The reason to get up every day, thank you God. Right,
I was working eight days a week and then when
i'm you know, it's I get three days a week uninterrupted, supposedly.
But my poor little grandson was sick, very very sick,
so I was looking after him. And then you know,
I can fit one or two in after that. So
(55:14):
now my eight shows a week have gone down to
four to six, which I fit in those three days,
and then I do the editing after that. And it's
actually kind of good for me because I was finding
my life being a little unbalanced that it was entirely
work and I wasn't anything else. And now my little
grandkids come in and they just take me over. And
(55:34):
I'm in a new city and I've already got people
I know here, and it's I'm in a retirement community,
which is, you know, we've got to do coffee. So
I'm trying to balance my life a little bit because
I could do this nine days a week without any
problem at all. But at some point we do have
to look at it and go, yeah, I need a
little balance, and so yeah.
Speaker 4 (55:55):
My group, I still do my group staff, I still
have my I still have the divorce support group. I
still have. I have a wonderful travel group going solo Travelers,
and we travel and we meet you know. I have
it here locally in the Tampa Bay area, but anyone
can join and you come travel with us. We're doing
a singles cruise the end of what in December, December fourteenth,
(56:19):
so it's up and so yeah, so anybody can come
and travel with us. We'd love that. But I do that,
and then I do a lot of little things where
I get out and that's where I create my balance.
I believe, Yeah, because I'm meeting other people doing things.
I'm dating, you know I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Yeah, I haven't got there yet. Maybe. And my daughter
every time she sees a single man, mom, unless you
I know this, I know this. You know. Always in
the past it's been me pretzeling to please the man. Now,
if you don't get what I do and you don't
(56:54):
celebrate what I do and who I am because of it,
the door ain't open.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
Right, And that's the way it should be. I mean,
you will find someone. I mean I don't have. I
don't have much trouble with that. I mean, most people,
most men that I have found, have have been enlightened
by what I do. They they really do love what
I do, and so I'm very respected with regards to that.
But then again it's my boundary, right, I set my
(57:22):
own boundaries, and so yeah, I just haven't found the one, right,
but I might. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (57:30):
I don't know about you. It's that I'm fine for
a part time relationship, you know, see you at the weekend.
And I've got a life full with the grandchildren, my
work and what I love to do, and love to
have somebody where we go for dinner, maybe travel together,
you know, dinner parties. But I don't want that. I
don't want somebody full time. I don't want need to
(57:51):
find someone. Should forget it, you know, it's you might and.
Speaker 4 (57:54):
You might very well have find someone that wants exactly
the same thing. Really, that's the thing. And especially in
our latter years here we're not over or whatever. You
can design the kind of life that we want. And
a lot of gentlemen they have their own golf, they
have their own their own things they want to do,
but they would love the company of a woman and
(58:14):
spend time with them, and you know whatever, and and
so yeah, you can design the kind of life that
you want.
Speaker 3 (58:21):
You know, well, the Big seven O is just two
or three months away, so we'll see what's out there.
Speaker 4 (58:28):
I'm catching up with your girls.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
We'll see what's out there. But if somebody not only
wants your expertise, but you know, wants to start a
podcast or has a podcast and wants to get on
your network, what are the steps, my darling.
Speaker 4 (58:46):
Well, really, you just have to contact me and I'll
help you with everything. I mean, I've gone to where
I've even helped people design their logos. I've helped them,
you know, I do the artwork sometimes for the shows.
I help them with the rite ups. I teach you
how to if you if you need help to, you know,
present yourself and be on camera and different things like that.
(59:08):
Help you with guests, you know, I help you with
anything that needs to be needs to be done. I'm
I'm really your right arm, and I try to really
help those that want to want to do this. They
have a message they want to get out, and so
that's really what is important. So yeah, and we do
it economically, you know, I try to put it around
your budget and whatever we can do. And so all
(59:28):
they have to do is contact me. Goingsolo Network at
gmail dot com, Goingsolo network at gmail dot com. I'm
on all of the social media platforms. You can reach
out to me say hey, CC, I want to talk
to you about you know, podcasting or TV or where whatever.
And we can definitely set up a time in which
to talk so from anywhere, so it doesn't matter where
(59:50):
you're located. You can be you know, out of the country,
you can be in the US, whatever, you know, we
can put it together.
Speaker 3 (59:58):
So yeah, yeah at a stage of really cause in
the past we would have been considered obsolete and what
do you what do you think you're doing on camera?
And now that is not the case, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
I know when I first started doing this and coming
to TV and everybody's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Well?
Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Even Internet people were saying, don't do Internet? Do you
know do and like FM radio, I said no, No,
I'm going to every I want to do everything. We're
going to be Internet. Everything's going to be Internet. So
I kept I just kept doing it. And now the
same thing with the TV and and I love how
you said about you know, sharing the stories and things
like that, because we're actually archiving, right, which is important,
(01:00:41):
Like we've got a wonderful show which is going solo
Veteran's Corner, and wonderful, wonderful stories about vets that are
coming out of that that story, that show. And even
my father did a show and now he's passed on.
And so it's just a wonderful way of being able
to share, you know, your wisdom, your talents, and it's
(01:01:05):
just a great way to archive it. So it's a.
Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Lovely legacy to leave because I want this to be
going on when I'm gone, you know, because there's too
much wonderful information. And yes, I have a veterans channel too,
and I'm not a war person. What I found with
the veterans, their ingenuity, their discipline, the I'm not getting this,
(01:01:31):
so I'm going to create it, the camaraderie and the
support of others. It's just the innovations that have come
from them from coming home and realizing what they're not
getting in order to heal and what others aren't getting
and providing it. And they have truly been incredible inspirations,
absolutely wonderful. So yes, sir, I know what you mean.
(01:01:54):
We can't help but kind of come away from things,
kind of gobs back and go wow, Wow, like, if
we're getting this doing the interview, what are you getting
to it listening to it? So not only listen, more, listen,
learn and apply. But if you feel that you could
be a podcaster, you want to share your stories and
(01:02:14):
you could be a part of a group of something
of women that are just sharing stories and it's a
little podcast, well why not put it out there? Why
not put it out there? Do not diminish someone's story
by saying it's not big enough, right, right, right, because
it's going to be there for someone out there that
needs to hear it wherever they're at.
Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
Now. Also I wanted to share is that podcasting is
an audio format, right, So we have the TV format
is the video, and then you have the podcasting which
is the audio. And then of course we put all
of our podcasts up on the audio up on the radio.
But something new Roku has now is they have the audio.
And so if you are a podcaster and you don't
(01:02:59):
even want to do a video, you don't, if you're
afraid of it, you don't want to do it, don't worry.
You can put your podcast up on the Roku station
now and so it's terrific. So if that's something that
you want to do. You want that exposure. I think,
come on board, let's let's make it happen.
Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
I like, how many people have Roco on that app
on their phone right now? They can either watch it
or they're in the car with that long drive home. Right.
You know, my son in law when the baby needs
to be fed in the middle of the night, used
to have a podcast ready so you can listen it
while he's feeding the baby. Right. So you know, my
(01:03:37):
daughter's on podcast Addict because that's where she goes to listen,
and everybody has a favorite channel there and the beauty
of Roco you say, yeah, I'm listening to this person,
but I want to see them now, so I can
go over to the TV part of it. But yeah,
start off with the audio if you feel comfortable with that. Right.
Not everybody has to do the video. And I actually
(01:03:57):
I don't know about you, but statistics show me that
I the audio is still the greater listening of podcasts
rather than the TV because TV you've got to watch,
and with audio you can listen anywhere. So audio is
still number one, right.
Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
And we can send the audio. Right, So what I
do is I take the we we do the live streaming.
A lot of our shows are live, and so we
do the live streaming on the TV. I drop it
down into an audio format and then then distribute to
the podcasting and then our radio station. So you get
the best of both worlds if you want to do
the TV. But it's like again, I started without TV.
Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Exactly too, without even zoom. We're just all do your platforms. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Oh, and when I started doing the TV, I was like,
oh lord, look at myself.
Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
You know it.
Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
It was like, oh geeesh. It was a learning curve
for me. But now I just don't care. It's I
am who I am, and you know, I've had this
space for all my life exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
And people can watch it or not. You can listen
by what do you. You can watch by TV. It's
up to you. The thing is, we give you the
platforms in which to do it on right right right,
and that's important.
Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
And the exposure, so think about it. You're you're not
having to go and repost your stuff several different times.
We're doing it for you. You're getting on all these
different platforms. You're really getting major, major exposure. And then
you're also getting the benefit of other listeners that is
already there. Listeners are there many platforms you'll see that
(01:05:28):
we'll advertise the Roku and all those kind of things.
They don't even have the listenership yet they want you
to do up a few shows to put them on.
We've already got it. We closed out last year six
million on broken just Roku. That isn't anything else that's
not Spotify or ihearder or von tv VANTI. We stream.
We streamed directly to on TV kick TV. I don't
(01:05:50):
people have ever heard of, but we stream directly to that.
And we're getting you know, calls and emails of other
platforms that would love to be able to grab our
stream and bring it on. And I say, hallelujah, will.
Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Be yes exactly. And you know, like I offer people
when they're coming on with me, you can just be
on my platform sixteen audios, three videos or for the
additional fee because obviously I have to bear you to
put it up there, that's the name of the game.
They can then be on your platform as well. And
so a lot more people are going, well, yeah, right,
(01:06:21):
so it's you. It could be one or two platforms
with me, and you get the benefit on all of that.
And that's the thing is is that listen, learn and reply.
There's so much, there's so much that you have you
don't even know what the question is yet and you
listen to a podcast and I didn't realize that's yeah, yeah,
(01:06:43):
I never thought to ask that, But never mind to
ask that, here's the answer, right, So you know, that's
the beauty of podcasting. Whether it's TV, whether it's audio,
it's both. It's all about getting that knowledge out there.
We're in a world right now that's just saturated with
an awful lot of crap, and people are looking looking
(01:07:05):
for the authenticity of that inner truth. How do I
recognize it? How do I apply it? How do I
find my meaningful purpose? And the shows that we do
are those beautiful maps to your own self discovery and
your own meaningful purpose. Because the more and more of
his raise up to that higher frequency, the better off
(01:07:27):
this planet and the world is going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Absolutely absolutely again, you have to continue to fill your well, yeah,
you have to continue. And I've often said you need
to read if you can fifteen minutes a day, you know,
But if you can't do that, listen to a podcast
on your way home. You know, you go listen to
the radio on your on your way home from work
or wherever, you know, going to the grocery store, you
can listen to it and you can feel your well
(01:07:51):
in a positive way.
Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
So, yeah, even though you're having a bad day, everything
has gone wrong, and you listen to a podcast and
you go all right with the world, right.
Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
I agree? I agree with that moreheartedly.
Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
It's wonderful knowing you for all of these years and
having you on here and having you know. I obviously
your platform is placed here so if people can find
you as well, but it's wonderful to be on your
platform as well. Not an awful lot of shows have
been going up there lately because of the move and
because of the sickness of Ablicans. But I'm getting back
up there now, so there'll be a lot more up there,
(01:08:26):
and I'm honored to be up there. I did actually
have somebody else approached me at the same time, and
you know, they kind of almost have become a little
sterile in the way that they've done it. A niche niche,
and the only niche we have is we come from
the heart and soul, and so do I guess and
that is the common donator. And people say, who do
(01:08:48):
you interview, and there's all those that come from the heart.
As long as your heart is in it, right, then
I'm ready to hear what you have to say, true heart,
true heart and soul. You're doing it for the embetterment
off and then then I'm eager to interview. So I
can interview you. Cecy can interview you. She's got other
(01:09:09):
people that can interview. Or you've got a podcast and
you want to be on a network. I'm not doing
that anymore. You can come and be my books, but
CEC's got that network for you. Reach out if you've
got wisdom to share, if you've got a group of
people that you want to interview, and just even do
a series, like you want to do a twelve week
series and then come back at it again later. That's fine, right,
(01:09:32):
And a lot of people like to do that. They're
covering a particular series of something and then come back again.
That's fine, and then that way you know, you feel
you can cope with it. All of that, but Cecy
does all the work for you. She makes it easy
for you, for Quinna's sake, So get podcasting. People need
to hear the wisdom. Thank you so much, CEC. The
