I’ve been hooked on podcasts for about a year now.

I just can’t get over all the information available for free that I can take in while I’m running, driving, etc.

It’s really easy to get started. Here’s how:

Android

Doggcatcher was named the best podcast manager for Android by Lifehacker.com. It’s available in the Android Market and you can also find the link here: DoggCatcher App for Android.

Apple

If you have an Apple device, there are a couple options out there: Apple’s own Podcasts App(Free) and Downcast ($1.99).

The stability and options you have with Downcast make it my choice, hands down.

Final Thoughts

Since I’ve been listening to podcasts, a long drive doesn’t bother me anymore.

Traffic? Nope. I’m cool, because I know that while I’m in the car, I can better myself in an area that interests me.

Don’t postpone it. Start listening to podcasts today!

 

Pat Flynn - Let Go

You can make it. You can break through the cage that is keeping you from being who you want to be and doing what you want to do.

You can silence the voices in your head that are telling you “You’re not qualified. Who will listen to you? You can’t break through. You’ll never make it.”

That’s what Pat and his story mean to me.

Pat makes mistakes and experiences self-doubt, as well as other obstacles, but he continues anyway. He doesn’t give up.

Over the last year, I’ve learned a lot from Pat about business, the internets, and life by listening to his podcast.

I believe success is more than music, so, though Pat isn’t in the music field, I take various nuggets from him and apply them to my life.

Things like marketing, running a blog/website, being productive, and coming up with creative ways to make income are tremendously helpful and can definitely be applied to the music industry.

Because of Pat, I’m starting a podcast. I’m purposefully getting uncomfortable and exploring new territory. I’m “letting go” of my self-doubt, and moving on to the big things I’ve been afraid of.

In Pat’s story, we see that even “bad” events can turn out for our good if we don’t give up.

You can purchase Pat Flynn’s book “Let Go” here.

 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

– Galatians 6:9

What are some things you need to “let go” of?

This week, I’m enjoying Avicii’s album True (Spotify link – iTunes link)

It has a lot of catchy melodies and makes you want to move, but, what I like about it is it’s different.

Hey Brother is perhaps my favorite (YouTube link).

Wow. I’m loving the vibe of the McCrary Sisters’ music! It has a great Blues/Motown kind of sound. ‘Makes you want to move!

It’s going to be fun playing guitar with them in Ohio tomorrow!

Check out their music on their website, Amazon and iTunes.
