Michelle Wolf, Movie Munchies, NBA Legends: Podcast News with special guest Dr. Christiane Schroeter

What time is it?

What time is it?

It's time for Poduty and the News.

Poduty and the News.

The only live news podcast about

podcasting from the stage.

The only live news podcast about

podcasting from the stage.

Hello. Hello. I'm on the stage, but I forgot to set up my mic stand.

Let's go. There we go. Christiane, welcome to the show. Welcome to this

side of the theme song awesomeness. I hope you at least

captured some of my fun that I had while I was

jiving to the dance song. Lots of dancing

backstage. We're having a good time already. We've got six stories

about live podcasting coming up. We're recording this live, live

on the stage here at the Paduti Podcast Theater. And

Christiane, you've got the Petite Hustle.

I left my notes on the other side of the stage. It is the Petite

process and the. Oh, I'm going

to. I will help you. Don't worry at all. Don't worry about those notes. That's

why I'm here. I'm a professor, after all. Right. I like teaching.

So it's the Petite Practice. And my podcast is

called Happy Healthy Hustle. Happy Healthy

Hustle. That's where I was getting confused. Tell us a little about the podcast.

Yeah. Started really simple. I am a

professor. I'm also, like, maybe a little bit like a standard comedian.

That's sometimes what my family tells me. Right. I definitely have fun

entertaining. And I thought other people

might not just want to read my emails

or hear about my products. They also maybe want

to watch me and listen to me as I'm sharing some

insights that are expert insights, but

I'm really explaining in a way that are more like layman terms.

And that's how I started my podcast, really, with the goal to share some

ideas, share some news, share some trends without enrolling into

one of my classes or being one of my clients, just free on the

Internet. And that's how I got started. Oh. I just ran all

the way backstage to get my notes, so I have them all here.

Perfect this time. The Happy Hustle podcast, the Petite

Practice framework. And that's the one I'm really impressed about.

I really think that framework, that mentality, that mindset

is something that a lot of podcasters can apply to their shows, to

their guests, to their structure. Tell us a little bit about that. So Petite

Practice, so you can hear from my accent. I'm from Europe. Petite

means French. In French, it means small. Right.

And Practice, we all used to. It reminds us maybe of

Sports remind of just trying something for the first

time you have never done before. So look at this. You're taking

a small step with something that that is maybe

part of a big goal. So you're really taking your big

priorities and you're breaking it down. You're translating it

into small steps. And that's, in essence, really what I do.

So I'm a leadership strategist, and I kind of sit at this

intersection of leadership, of

execution, but also of behavioral strategies.

A key Practice is the vehicle. It's the behavioral

strategy. Taking one small step in reaching your

big goals, in executing small step every

day, chipping away at something, and then eventually, of course,

you're going to get there, because it's that high five moment of

seeing momentum towards something. Just like when we

Practice in sports, we get better and better. We just have to stay consistent with

it. That's like a lot of times you hear people say, if you can

change just 1%, just a little tiny bit today,

make a little tiny improvement, think where you'll be with that change

in direction in 30 days, in 60 days, in

120 days, compared to where you would have been had you taken

no action. So this concept of taking these little tiny

incremental steps every day to get to your goals, to

get to where you want to be, I love that setup and that structure.

Yeah. Most people actually don't even struggle with

finding a strategy. Right. I mean, here we are at the beginning of the year.

Most people know what it takes to live healthy or to

run a business, improve your business, and they also have big goals.

It's really the translating of the priorities

into the Practices, that's really where the Petite

Practice comes in, because it helps you create

momentum and actually see progress that

sticks even under pressure. So even if you have a day where you

have a lot going on, where maybe not feeling the best, you can still take

a small step and you get closer to your goal.

Very good. If people want to reach out, listen to the podcast and find out

more about your Practice. What's the best way to connect with you? Well, tune

in to my podcast, Happy Healthy Hustle. Actually

globally ranked top 1%. And of course, watch

me on my YouTube channel, @doctor.christiane, or

check out my website, https://doctorchristiane.com/

awesome. I will have all those links in the show notes. Make sure you always

check out the notes. They have great links to our guests. We even have a

page on the podcast site that's called the Crew. And after

tonight's show, Christiane will be inducted into the crew.

So there'll be a crew page. You'll be able to find her photo, her

links, her bio, and all this information that we're talking about.

It's there, archived, even all the shows that she's on, this one tonight

and maybe even future episodes if she wants to join us again in the

future. But all that will be archived and you'll be able to connect with her

and follow those links and make sure you hear the podcast, see

what the offer is, and see what the Petite Practice is all about,

for sure. And it's sometimes fun even to reach

out and let me know what you really enjoyed as far as a takeaway,

because for a podcast, the best thing is

actually to feel that your message resonated. But

to really know what resonated would make me, another

guest come back. But also, you know, for Jeff,

that's also super helpful to kind of like figure out. Okay, so we're going to

do more of that. So let us know what you really enjoyed and

leave some praise and of course, reach out if you have any questions about anything.

Sounds good. It's time to get into our first story.

Are you ready? Let's do it. All right, story

number one. Tonight, Michelle Wolf turns podcasting into

live standup. Comedian Michelle Wolf is rethinking what

a podcast can be by launching Thoughtbox as a live

stream stand up experience. The show officially premieres

February 27th in Barcelona at La

Latiana Cultural. Performing. Performing in front of a

live audience while streaming exclusively on punch up. Unlike

traditional podcasts, Thoughtbox is designed to feel like a

brand new comedy show every week. Topical jokes, audience

inspired material, and zero attempt to sound like a typical

podcast. It's recorded live, streamed live,

and available on demand as video, and later released

as audio, blurring the lines between stand up

television podcasting in a way only a seasoned

comic could pull off. And this is a story that

after my heart, I am. We always walk in that line

of what is a podcast? Where can you perform a

podcast? How can you perform a podcast? And Michelle Wolf has taken

this well beyond anything I've ever conceived. To

be able to have a show, live, stream it live, and then have that

content released for audio at a later date. I really think

she's. She's firing on all cylinders here. Yeah, actually

that's how I got started, Jeff. My first

podcast experience was Instagram

Lives. I started it during the pandemic, started

my podcast 32323 and

I did Instagram Lives and had amazing guests that

would have never Been able to meet with me, meet me on Instagram Live, and

we talked for about an hour. Then I extracted the video,

extracted the audio, and I posted the audio as my

very rudimentary first podcast recordings. That's how I got

started. So very similar to what Michelle is doing right there.

That's very progressive for your first show. That's a very. That's very

ambitious. You don't hear most people starting like that. That's something that you grow

into. So. So the fact that you started at that level is.

Is really impressive to hear right off the bat. Well,

it definitely. I'm. I'm kind of like an out of the box

thinker. And the way that I think was also

I recorded the Instagram lives, and

afterwards I thought these were some really amazing guests and takeaway.

I don't want that they just lived on Instagram on social media.

I actually think that we should have them recorded for eternity, which

is what podcasts really are. They are like books, right? You.

I mean, you will always have them. You always can go back and enjoy them.

And that's how I extracted that video and transcribed it and

basically then also even shared the video now on my

YouTube channel. They are like, you know, Instagram

live quality, but they're still there.

Yeah, that's great. And this is a great example of what, when you're

creating content, what all can you do with it? What

extra can you create from it? Can you create shorts? Can you

download it and create a podcast like Christian was doing? Can

you re upload that to YouTube? Can you create shorts out of it? You

know, small clips, viral moments. And that's kind of what Michelle Wolf

is doing here too. She's recording the show, and I'm sure

she'll promote the clips all throughout social media. Well,

and what I love about the standup comedy, of course, is

that we can't all travel to Barcelona, Spain, and

watch her. But sharing that with us

really creates this moment of community, which is what podcasting

really is all about, that you feel like you are learning about something you would

have otherwise never really been able to tap into. So this is an

amazing example of podcasting taking to the next level.

Yeah, I love this story. I really think this is the future

model of podcasting. And Michelle Wolf is already ahead of the curve here

on this one. Nice job. Really, really beautiful.

Let's go to story number two. We're going to neurosurgery.

This is one of those things where I always like to find podcasts and

segments. I never thought There'd be a podcast. So this one we're going to file

under. This is a neurosurgery.

What happens when you take one of the most high stakes medical

specialties in the world and put it live on stage?

You get honesty. At Brain Waves 2025, the

Neurosurgery Podcast went live with Columbia Neurosurgery

Chair, Dr. Sander Connolly. Connolly.

Connolly. Alongside outspoken hosts Dr.

Michael Wang and John Paul Kolkom.

The result was a bold, on the record conversation tackling

some of the most controversial issues in modern medicine,

from who should be allowed to treat neurological conditions, to

whether neurosurgeon autonomy is disappearing,

to why doctor run hospitals don't exist in the U.S.

this wasn't just a podcast episode. It was a profession.

Thinking out loud, live and in public.

And we've seen a lot of this with universities especially. This was at

Columbia University. Columbia Neurosurgery,

the higher education system is really embracing this idea

of live podcasting, maybe as a value add to their

students so that the students can see what's possible in the career,

but they're also getting this firsthand experience of

what's it actually like to be in the field.

Yeah, I love this example for two reasons. I mean, first,

neurosurgery sounds scary to us, right? We are like, oh, my

gosh, I don't even know what that entails. But to really bring it to a

level where the whole world could tune in, that is just

beautiful. Right. So that's my first love about this

translation of a complicated concept into

everybody's ears. And secondly, what I think is

absolutely amazing is this interaction, really,

of topics that might be trending or might be in the

news. So we are kind of like feeling it's even

expanding our horizon of what medicine is

capable of with two top surgeons right there

and sharing that with us. Because I think if.

If you're not really opening specific magazines, you'll

probably never find out about this. But here you are meeting these top

surgeons and they're sharing something with you from modern medicine

that is just really beautiful. So first sharing it with us, but then also

taking us to the next level, taking us along on the train of

knowledge that is just absolutely brilliant. Yeah.

Imagine 20 years ago, how long it would have taken you to hear from

the top leaders in your field. You'd have to wait for a

publication, wait for it to get published, then get the article

delivered to you, then you could read it. But here,

the top people in this field are on stage. They're talking

Back and forth, sharing their ideas, their experiences, where they think

the future is going to, maybe even taking Q and A at the end,

you've cut down the time to share information

by a factor of 1000. You're really getting the info right to

the people the day that they're there to consume it.

Exactly. And what I also love is

that we probably didn't even know these people previously.

So I, a few months ago, had a colonoscopy, and

I realized when I was researching colonoscopies, even

on social media, that a fair amount of celebrities

have shared their colonoscopies on

Instagram or even, like, sometimes live. I know. Listen to this, Jeff.

Right? This sounds really, absolutely crazy, but now think

about it, that celebrities did

that for a very specific reason. I think Katie Couric did that

because I think her husband struggled with

certain health conditions. So they are basically taking

a medical condition and showing us. Giving us

all the glimpse into medicine is not scary. It's really there

to make us better. And don't procrastinate until the last minute to get

these routine checkups. And same with neurosurgery. You kind of

translate that into something we understand. You might all of a sudden

realize that maybe these surgeons are

actually there to help you. It's not scary. You can go and

see a doctor if you feel something isn't right and maybe

just ask good questions about it. But at the end of the day,

medicine is really just an improvement, especially now with where we

are with AI, an improvement in our life conditions compared to,

as you mentioned 20 years ago. So I love that about this particular

podcast. Yeah. And think about no matter what industry

you're in, what you study, what you're passionate about, there's

a group of people who are the experts in that industry. And if you're starting

to present information, if you're starting to share what you know

in your own little niche, you could rise up to become the

expert in that industry. And so don't just think of this story as, this is

only for neurosurgeons. This is also maybe for accountants

or consultants or people who collect and trade

Pokemon. You can become the expert, and then you could be on

stage at certain conferences, certain events, talking about the thing

you love in front of people who also love the thing you love.

Exactly. And of course, think of you

as the expert becoming a leader in your

field. And it could be now, as Jeff mentioned, Pokemon

cards or anything like that, because as soon as you are passionate about

something, it's going to translate into what the audience really hears

in your voice, in the way that you act, in the way that you describe

it because you are acting as somebody who's so passionate about

it that they want to share it with the world and explain to

the world why this is such an amazing thing.

Awesome. Let's keep it going. Our third story today we're going

to the court. From the the. From the the

operating room to the court. Former NBA

stars Mike Bibby, Brad Miller, Eddie House and

Ty Ellis brought the Straight Game podcast to a live

audience for the first time in California with a taping at

Sky River Casino. A hometown moment for Bibby that

felt more like a reunion than a recording. Covered by

ABC10. The night delivered classic NBA

storytelling, locker room insight and unscripted

humor, including crowd favorite moment when Bibby was

asked if his son could beat him one on one. The event

marked the first of four planned live tapings at the venue,

signaling how athlete led podcasts are evolving

into full scale ticketed entertainment

experiences. And this one really builds off of what we were just

talking about. These were the experts in basketball. These were some

of the best players that come out in the last 20 years.

And here they are hosting a show in front of an

audience who loves basketball. Loved watching them play

and they're just having a good time sharing their love of basketball.

Well, exactly. And what I actually like, it's somewhat unscripted behind

the scenes and really authentic because if there is one thing,

if you watch tv, it's been heavily edited. They have been given

questions, they have been given directions by their PR

agents, but here they're just people. And

don't we love that when people act authentically because we actually

meet who they really are and what they really care about.

And the behind the scenes is just always so interesting

and intriguing. We love it. I think there's just so much about this

and it's a brilliant idea really in terms of especially looking at athletes

lives that it's a, it's a beautiful concept really.

Yeah. And it's a fun night out if you're a basketball fan. If you love

watching basketball, maybe this is near a place where they play

professional sports. You're able to go out. A lot of These events

are 15, 20, $25. They're not very

expensive ticketed events. You get to hang out, you get to

see how these famous players react in the moment, how

they interact with each other, goof on each other. A lot of times

professional athletes, you know, they play jokes on each other, they tell locker

room stories or Funny moments from traveling around the country.

And you get to get all this in the first person perspective.

You get to be immersed in the moment in the same room that they're in

telling these stories. Well. And what I

like too is that some of these athletes might have never

met otherwise. Right. I mean, it's not that they're always

necessarily playing each other in games, but

they're just kind of hanging out there. So for me,

whenever I think about something like that, I always think of

like reality tv, how that's absolutely not authentic.

It's really scripted. But this is really the true reality

TV here. Jeff, don't you think that's a much better description of reality

tv? Yeah. You can't get much more real than

touring sports players telling stories of being on the road and

the hard fought battles on the court. There's nothing scripted, I'm

sure, about this conversation. They may have a layout of things

they want to talk about, but I guarantee you, everything you heard on that

stage was uncut and raw and unfiltered. Love it.

That's like beautiful concept to really keep us

curious. And curiosity sometimes is really something that

leads to that diversion that you need in your very stressful day. Yeah, it's a

great way to get out. And like I said, if you have the worst night

of your life, you're only out 20 bucks, $25. And you got

to go to a casino, you got to go to a theater, you got to

see a live show. It's not a bad night out. I like it.

Yeah, well, when you're out, you might get the munchies.

The movie Munchies Go fully

interactive. This is one of the new type of stories we're trying to incorporate

into the show. A lot of people have asked me about live

streaming. One, you're performing on a stage, but like Christiane did on

Instagram, she did a live stream and then repurposed that live stream.

Well, that's also a performance that you're doing live in the moment.

And so we started to incorporate some, some of the more popular live

streams into the storyline. And the line between

podcast live stream and watch party keeps getting

thinner. The best thing we watch this week proves why.

Streaming live on The Movie Munchies YouTube channel, the show

teamed up with the Ruby Tuesday for a fully

interactive episode breaking down everything from crime

thriller, the Rip to 28 years later, the

Bone Temple and Peacock's Cold War spy series

Ponies. But the real magic wasn't just the

reviews. It was the live audience interactions.

Viewers didn't just watch. They joined the conversation,

shared recommendations, and helped shape the show in real time.

Turning a movie chat into a shared live experience.

And something like this, this is kind of what you were doing on Instagram.

They're, they're talking about movies and interact, getting their

audience involved, answering questions. What were some of the things that

you really liked about not just this story, but your own livestream experience?

Well, what was the coolest was when you had guests that of course

they wrote their own home. And sometimes, I mean, of course

I asked them certain questions like, oh,

like for instance, what is like your Petite

Practice and how do you stay healthy or how do you build your business,

etc. But then I would sometimes like point on things in the kitchen. I would

say, oh my gosh, what is that cute mom there in the background? And then

they would like guide us around in the house. They were like, oh, let me

show you my kitchen while I'm here. And that was just so fun. It was

like, keep going, we want to see more. And I liked it. And then

of course, I would watch the screen and see how people commented

and read the questions that the live audience posted

while we were actually recording, which was really neat. And

people would tell their friends, you got to learn, Cristiana is talking to this person

right there. And it was really nice. It's just a great way

to connect the world. You don't think of it as this

live stream is kind of like a portal to the world where you're up on

stage, you're broadcasting, and people from anywhere

can leave a comment. You can even give them a link in some cases to

pop up on screen to join you real time.

It's really the most simple way to bring

the world together. Exactly. And what was fun about

it too is we would announce it ahead of time and then I

would sometimes read out the questions from the people that couldn't make

it, but sometimes I would read out the questions from the people and if they

were there, I was like, well, if you are here, you can hop on, maybe

even ask a follow up question because your question was asked, but you're here.

Let's get some reward for the fact that you actually showed up and

listened to this right now. And that makes it fun too, because people have something

to look forward to. They already submitted that question. Now they actually want to see

what this guest said with regard to the response. So it's really interactive.

Yeah, A great way to connect people. Tell your own stories. And like you

said, I'm looking at their background all the things that they have

hidden in there. And I'd love to hear some of the stories of, you know,

how they acquired some of those pieces and, you know, why, why

they're drawn to certain characters. Yeah. I mean it

in general, it's the best thing about, if you think

about, like, TV recording, I mean, Jeff is sitting in the

studio. You can see my background here, and it's just so fun about

really showing the humanity in us.

Yeah, let's keep it moving. Let's keep the show running because

we're going to shoe talk. 40 runs

turns shoe confusion into live coaching. This was a really

interesting way to do a live podcast.

Chasing the right running shoes can feel overwhelming, but 40

runs Shoe Talk show is making it simpler by going live.

Streaming every Monday night, this weekly video podcast

invites runners into a real time Q and A where they can ask

honest questions about everything from daily trainers versus race

shoes to carbon plates cushioning, stability and

injury prevention. Hosted by a qualified running coach,

the show blends expert guidance with live interaction,

then repurposes each episode into both video and audio

podcasts. It's a great example of how live podcasting

turns niche expertise into trust, clarity,

and ongoing learning community.

And one of the shows I really love just the

concept of here's an expert on running. People getting

into running, especially this time of year, January, people are thinking about

being healthier, getting more active. And here's a

guy that knows about shoes, knows about running, knows about safety, and,

and the best way to fit a shoe to your foot. I think this time

of year, this story, I think it's a good match for a lot of people

getting into physical activity. I like that you use the

word match. Nearly sounds like it's a fit. The shoe fits

and the podcast fits. Really brilliant.

What I like about this concept is

sometimes if you think about going to a store, you don't even

know exactly what you're looking for. You're like, why I need a sneaker.

But until you really set a foot to say it, like,

literally into the store, you don't even know what differences there are.

So this podcast allows you to do some research before you actually pick

something out yourself, especially if you haven't bought sneakers for

a while. There's probably a lot of research that has

happened and has translated into the latest research and

how sneakers are made now, say, compared to five years ago.

And I think this is brilliant because it breaks it down a little bit

and making it even, like, easier for you to narrow

it down before you go to A store and then maybe even

choose something much more educated. So it's, it's truly

the best in terms of like sharing an insight with you

that again, another expert has right here. Yeah,

you get the host's perspective but you also, in the comments you probably get

other runners perspectives and maybe you have a

specific question. Somebody else probably already answered that

in their life or they figured out a solution to that problem. Even if the

host doesn't know that community is working together to

put the show together, to give answers and to help people.

Maybe they're newcomers to running, maybe they were seasoned veterans, but

they all need to learn something at different points and that community can

really lean on each other and answer each other's questions. I did

an Instagram Live once, Jeff. I made a smoothie on the, on the

Instagram and I put all the ingredients in and I was like, oh my gosh,

Now I didn't think about the fact that I guess I need to start the

blender at some point. Now this is really the unattractive part about making something

life because it's allowed. But it was cool because

I just kind of muted it and I said, well, I'm going to run the

blender right now, so let me just mute it right now. And meanwhile you can

pop questions in and some people really ask questions about the ingredients. You

said, well, could I, for instance, instead of this

fruit or instead of this vegetable, could I use something different? And

so I even like overcame this little obstacle and

made it into an opportunity to interact with the audience and figure

out what smoothie ingredients they would really enjoy.

Well, you had to mix the ingredients. Let's go to the

morning mix. One of the things I love is traditional media

going into new media formats. And we're seeing a lot of this where

morning shows or radio shows are going out into the

community and they're recording their podcast live. They do

extra content, bonus content, and they release it as a

podcast. Here's an example where they're doing a remote.

Morning radio is stepping into the spotlight as the morning mix

goes live on stage, hosts Chris, Nikki and

Whip are bringing their most loved segments

like Chris's 3 Thursday, 3 Style,

Nikki's Thousand Dollar Minute and Whip's hot take

out of the studio and in front of a live audience at the North

Shore center for the Performing Arts. The hour long show will

be recorded and released as a special podcast edition and with

100% of the tickets, proceeds benefiting the North

Shore center foundation and its youtheater program.

Proving that live podcasting can entertain, engage, and

give back all at once. What a brilliant idea. I really

like the charity angle at the end. That's brilliant.

Yeah. This is one of those things where you can do something as a community

get together, and at the end of the night, something good can come of

it. It doesn't always have to be about who can sell the most tickets and

fill the most arenas. A lot of times you can do something that's a

fun night out. You can raffle off gift baskets. You can

have the strip tickets, the tearaway tickets, and

give back money not only to the fans, but to the

charities through little games of chance. But you can

raise additional money and then feel. Imagine how good you feel. But

you get to get entertained all night, and then at the end of the night,

you get to make a big donation to a local charity to help.

Looks like a youth performing arts, the youth theater program.

It's a really cool concept because it bridges so many different

aspects. And in this particular case, I love how you said

earlier, brings these three powerhouses together

that usually, I mean, it says right there, it brings their

most loved segments together. I mean, think about. This is like a

highlight reel of three superstars right there. And all

that for charity. That's a win. Win. Yeah. And, you know, a

lot of times we talk about when you listen to a podcast or you

listen to people on the radio, a lot of times you try to imagine what

people look like or, you know, how they react in different moments.

And in 100% of the cases, you've never guessed

correctly what somebody looks like from their voice. But when you get them out of

the theater, out of their home studio and onto a stage, and you get to

see these people face to face for the first time, you get to see them

smile, you get to see them light up when somebody asks them a question.

You get to see them talk to each other and react to each other.

You can't get that from an audio show or from a radio

broadcast, but when you're in the moment, you get that fly

on the wall feeling that you're there finally watching them

and seeing how they. How they are in every moment, in every aspect

of the performance. Oh, I have a. I have a really emotional

story for you about that, too. What I did, I have a really

good friend, and she came to my TEDx show, right?

And I had never seen her before in person.

So she set herself in the first row, and when I stood

on stage, from the corner of my eye could see her.

But that was like the Moment I really had to give my talk. Right. And

so I was like, I was kind of, like, torn between, like, glancing down

and looking at her and continuing with my TEDx talk.

And then later on now, when I watch the YouTube video,

actually can see her, how she looks at me. And it's just really cute

because we are really good friends. And how it connected seeing

me for the first time in real life on stage, where we only

ever talked via zoom in on the phone. So. So I think moments like

that are always really cool and special where you say,

like, sometimes we just hear the voice, but we don't see the person. So

to see everybody here and have them, like, really

feed off their energy together, that's absolutely magic.

Yeah. I try to explain to people that when you listen to a podcast,

if it's done pretty well, you feel like you're in the room a lot of

times with the host. Like, you feel like you're sitting in there at the table

listening to this conversation. And it's such a surreal experience.

When you finally get out to a small theater and you get to

see them up on stage, now you're actually in the room

while they're performing the show. So all that, everything that you've

built up listening to the show over the years is now right in

front of you. And it's just this experience that's hard

to explain because you've heard these people so many times, and now

you're seeing them in person doing the thing you've been listening to for, you know,

50 episodes. It's. It's. I try to tell

people over and over again, you have to just experience a podcast live, especially

one that you like. If they're ever in town near you, go.

Go see them. Go have a night out. Go listen. Go watch the

podcast you've been listening to. You won't believe how much it changes your

perspective about what podcasting is and how much goes into it.

For sure. Yeah. Actually, a friend of mine recently

visited my. My town here and. And visited my.

My campus where I work as a professor. And I ran

into him, not knowing that he would be here. And of course, he

immediately recognized me because I'm kind of like a recognizable person.

Like my bun. Right. And just the way that I look like. And I act

like I'm always really bubbly, energetic. And so he saw me

and he was like, oh, my gosh, it's Dr. Christiane. And then I saw

him, and guess what I did, of course, on the next day, invited

him to my house and we did a live recording for my podcast because

that is some magic you can't recreate to have somebody visit that

I knew for my podcast. And then, of course, I invited him as a guest.

So I completely agree with Jeff. That is an amazing experience,

and it's a beautiful way of kind of like going full

circle on something you otherwise would not have

experienced. Yeah, I really wish everybody got

to do that. So if you ever get a chance, anytime you get to see

a live podcast in your town, doesn't have to be here where we are in

Pittsburgh, but wherever you're at, there's people performing live podcasts

all over the world. And here's six more examples that we gave you

tonight, which brings us to the end of the show already. I warned you.

It goes fast. Well, Christy,

one more time, let's make sure we get your links out to everybody. What's the

best way to connect with you? And we'll drop those into the show

notes for sure. Well, check out my YouTube channel. You

get the bubbly me that I am and all the amazing

videos, the guests that I'm sharing there, of course, the insights.

It's Dr. Christiana is my YouTube channel. So

it's written out D, O, C, C, T O, R.

And then my first name, which is Christian with an e. And of

course, what I would encourage you is check out my podcast,

because there you can scroll all the way back to the beginning,

and you can listen to those Instagram lives and those guests

that we recorded on Instagram lives way back then in 23 when I

got started, and it still turned into an amazing podcast

episode. So I would encourage you, thinking outside the box

sometimes turns into the most beautiful moments of connection.

Yeah. Go back to the beginning. It's always fun to see the progress, too. So,

you know, everybody starts somewhere. And you hear those first couple episodes,

you kind of see the foundation of what will become the podcast.

And as you grow with each episode, you'll hear

how the show evolves and becomes something more and more special as

time goes on. And it's just a great archive and a great

way to see how you were through three, four years ago.

Yep. The main thing is just. And we talked about this, keeping it up,

the consistency, even. Like, sometimes you're like, oh, I don't think I

have time to do another recording. I don't have time

to do another episode tonight. Keep it up, because eventually

your audience is going to wait for it and you don't want to let them

down, so you have to. The consistency always

beats going for perfection or going for

procrastination. Now, once you have the audience, they're going to wait

for you. And yeah, that's really something that feels amazing once that

happens. Definitely. Definitely. And if you enjoyed

anything that we talked about tonight, if you enjoyed this show, there's 40

other examples of people doing live podcasts, six

stories on every show. That's 240

examples of people doing live podcasts

out somewhere in the world. So this is a form of entertainment that's happening.
