bq.POV #100 - Feels Good Man

I put a lot of thought into what I wanted to talk about for this episode. Yet, I still missed key points I wanted to talk about. I made a somewhat detailed show-note reference that I would go on to follow while recording. I want to share that here with you all so you can see what I had planned before I even began the show.

Are all my show notes this way? No. Not at all. But, this goes to show as proof that 100 was a big deal to me, and putting in the effort to make it a full recap full of value was something I wanted to nail. However, as with all things, there is always room for improvement. 

This is episode #100. The first major goal we ever made with podcasting and we nailed it. The ultimate goal now for the bq.Daily show is to reach episode #3653. Which is 10 years straight of recording. Then, episode #7305. Which is 20 years. 

Anyway, here are the show notes.

1. 
   Over the last 100 days, I made 100 podcast episodes with some rules.
   

1. Had to be at least 20 minutes.


2. Had to be solo.


3. Couldn’t tell ANYONE anything about anything to do with the show or that I was recording audio.


4. Had to be some sort of lesson or take away from them.


5. Couldn’t edit anything out or remove/add anything from earlier or later. Its real raw and unedited.
   1. Everything that’s in there was exactly how it was said. I did not remove a single world.
   
   


6. Had to upload at least 5 per week
   1. Made a goal to have at least 10 listeners by the end of it, and Idk the exact number but I think total we hit maybe 14? Cool beans.
   
   


7. I did all this and made this commitment for virtually zero return. No one listened lol. But that’s not why i'm doing it.


8. I did it to get better at speaking. At articulating my thoughts. Confidence builder. Getting in reps. Speaking,. Stopping saying like uhh ummm.

1. I just got started. 
   1. I did not have a plan other than to document the day to day through live hard and business.
   
   
   2. I did not care about the cover art.
   
   
   3. I did not care about the name.
   
   
   4. I did not have the best setup. 
      1. Even with the shit I did have it was preferable to use just my phone in my car
      
      
   
   
   5. I did not have any more than 3-5 listeners at a time for a total of maybe 12.
      1. And that’s just people who listened to the show for no less than 60 seconds.
      
      
   
   


2. I did this for 100 days straight. Every single day I recorded a podcast that was a minimum of 20 minutes long. 
   1. It feels incredible to have kept that promise and commitment to myself.
   
   
   2. If you say the average length of an episode was 30 minutes long, I spoke for 50 hours. 
   
   
   3. If I spoke 180 words a minute, that’s 540,000 words. 
   
   
   4. Thats 100 reps of getting better at podcasting. I’m now 100 episodes ahead of where I would be if I never would have started. 
   
   


3. I further proved to myself that you absolutely CAN just start.
   1. I even developed the philosophy that waiting to start anything is the biggest excuse we make as humans.
   
   
   2. Time is real, and time goes on.
   
   
   3. But the form of measurement is all man made. 
      1. We grouped 7 rotations of earth into a bundle and called it a week.
      
      
      2. We wrapped 4 of those into another bundle and called it a month.
      
      
      3. We then bundled those into a group of 12 and called it a year.
      
      
      4. We even gave these bundles names. Mon Tues Jan Feb
      
      
      5. What the fuck? What a load of shit. Just start. 
      
      
   
   
   4. I had no experience, no listeners (still don’t), nothing going on, and no reason to think I could be a successful, influential podcaster. But I did it. And I did it for 100 episodes straight. 
      1. I now have 100 reps and 50 hours of experience under my belt. 
      
      
      2. And it only took me 3 months. Thats no time at all. 
      
      
   
   


4. I did all of this through Phase 1 TWICE. And the second run it wasn’t even part of the program. It’s just something I’ve forced myself to do. 
   1. My schedule has been crazy. SCHEDULE FROM YEAR 95 EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE.
