And he is going to be discussing on goals pertaining
12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:07.140
to mental health, and much more, and I could relate
13
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.299
with some issues, I go through, I mean, I've been
14
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.670
battling depression even like before this podcast, I'm fighting my
15
00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:23.469
own depression to actually get to meeting the goal and
16
00:01:24.650 --> 00:01:30.719
making the podcast, so, uh, Noah, welcome aboard, uh, Can
17
00:01:30.769 --> 00:01:34.409
you tell us a little bit about how you got
18
00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:35.969
into the field that you got into?
19
00:02:42.270 --> 00:02:43.110
No, no, no.
20
00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:47.569
Hold on. Hold on one second. No. Sorry to do that.
21
00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:52.110
It's just audio problems. Hold on one second. Okay, you
22
00:02:52.129 --> 00:02:52.789
can continue.
23
00:02:55.490 --> 00:02:55.990
Alright.
24
00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:00.719
So, I went through my first year of college. I
25
00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:05.599
started to have a podcast bug because I started noticing
26
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:09.000
that podcasting was starting to become more popular and people
27
00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:10.960
were starting to make really good careers off of it.
28
00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:11.860
So I thought, you know what?
29
00:03:13.930 --> 00:03:15.530
I have some things that I could talk about and
30
00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:20.430
say and So for about the next four or five years,
31
00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:24.000
I started to look into podcasting. And every time I
32
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.599
started wanting to do a podcast, something always came up
33
00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:29.840
in my personal life where I had.
34
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:30.879
To take care of that first.
35
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.599
When I went to Auburn, transferred to Auburn, we had
36
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.520
a guy that came to one of my journalism classes
37
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.379
I was taking and said that he was opening up
38
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.639
a podcasting.
39
00:03:40.419 --> 00:03:41.439
Course next year.
40
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.300
That if you were interested in wanting to sign up
41
00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:47.389
to talk to your advisor about it.
42
00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:50.120
So I went to my advisors, told.
43
00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:54.490
Her about the podcast class, and they put me on
44
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.949
the white list. And luckily I was able to get
45
00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.870
in the podcast class and was actually able to.
46
00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:04.770
Get a little step closer to becoming a podcaster.
47
00:04:05.449 --> 00:04:08.289
There was things I learned from the class, but there
48
00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:10.789
was also a lot of other things I didn't know
49
00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:14.830
So I took the year after I got out of
50
00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:18.389
the class to focus on it. And in 2025, I
51
00:04:18.430 --> 00:04:23.189
started doing podcasting, which originally was supposed to be a hobby,
52
00:04:23.269 --> 00:04:26.160
but it ended up turning into a full-time job. So
53
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.720
that's kind of how I got into podcasting and kind
54
00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.930
of got to this point. it wasn't the initial plan,
55
00:04:32.269 --> 00:04:34.110
but I'm not really mad about how.
56
00:04:33.949 --> 00:04:37.279
Things have turned out, because I really do enjoy podcasting
57
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:37.660
so much.
58
00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:42.579
Yeah, I could relate to that, because, like, I mean,
59
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.490
just even during this podcast, like, as we mentioned, like,
60
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.050
there was a technological glitch, and, you know, that's all
61
00:04:51.129 --> 00:04:53.970
part of podcasting. Like, you know, you gotta know how
62
00:04:54.029 --> 00:05:04.350
to handle the storms as they come to... Yeah, you
63
00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:05.009
never know.
64
00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:09.670
What to expect through podcasting. You never know what to expect.
65
00:05:10.069 --> 00:05:12.089
It's always kind of a fun thing and funny when
66
00:05:12.129 --> 00:05:16.660
it happens. But it really does keep you on your toes.
67
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.259
Yeah, I mean, like.
68
00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:25.579
I mean, for the past few... For the past few weeks.
69
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.680
For some, and I gotta bring this to the podcast,
70
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.600
for the past few weeks, I've been thinking that I've
71
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.579
had a pod match curse on me because I've had, like,
72
00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:38.319
everything just go wrong on me.
73
00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.040
And with being the host.
74
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:48.350
So, it's like, I mean, you figure podcasting, you deal with,
75
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:56.269
you know, cancellations, tech glitches, you know, you're showing up,
76
00:05:56.430 --> 00:06:00.949
they're not showing up, or you have problems in your
77
00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:04.990
life and stuff like that. Like, I can relate to that.
78
00:06:08.149 --> 00:06:11.040
Oh, yeah, that's one of the big things I've witnessed
79
00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:11.620
too is.
80
00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:16.639
The cancellations, last-minute cancellations, people showing up.
81
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.360
I don't really understand how.
82
00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:22.449
Difficult it can be at times and how frustrating it
83
00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:26.540
can be but it always tends to work out in
84
00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.279
the end. But in the moment, it really is a
85
00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:34.500
struggle and really kind of as a bummer, but typically it,
86
00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:37.910
I gotta say it happens less often than you, than
87
00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:39.410
you might think.
88
00:06:39.829 --> 00:06:42.850
So, um, I've had, it happened.
89
00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:44.910
There's been days where I thought I was just totally
90
00:06:44.930 --> 00:06:47.629
pushed and thought that if there's something in the air today,
91
00:06:47.649 --> 00:06:48.709
that's going on. Why not?
92
00:06:48.769 --> 00:06:54.600
Why not? It could really, um, So I fully, fully
93
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.680
understand that. I've dealt with those same things as well.
94
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.360
With podcasting, like, is there some of the better stuff
95
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.930
that you say, you know, this is some of my
96
00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:11.529
best stuff. I'm glad I've done it. Like that you're
97
00:07:11.550 --> 00:07:12.000
proud of.
98
00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:19.480
You know, looking at just how well all the podcast
99
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.709
has done and how well it's kind of happened over
100
00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:25.649
the year over the past year I.
101
00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:29.699
Gotta say I am a.
102
00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:32.220
Little shocked of how well the podcasting has turned out
103
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.439
a lot of my friends especially um had doubts with
104
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.350
it you know that they were supportive of what I
105
00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:42.149
was doing and they always said that oh yeah your
106
00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:45.910
thing it'll take off and everything will work out in
107
00:07:45.930 --> 00:07:50.029
the end But I don't think they really expected to
108
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:54.240
see the podcast really fully blow up as quickly as
109
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:54.740
it did.
110
00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.379
And I was a little surprised at it myself.
111
00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:02.240
I thought that this would be years and years and
112
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.079
years of trying to work and trying.
113
00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:05.180
To build something up.
114
00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:10.910
And the reality of the whole situation was it happened
115
00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:11.889
just so quickly. So....
116
00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:16.660
I got to say, I am proud of how well
117
00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:17.540
the show has done.
118
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.959
You know, I never really thought that I would be
119
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.040
doing this full time.
120
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.240
And, you know, I thought, oh, I'm going to.
121
00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:28.680
Get a career in radio or do a broadcast or
122
00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:33.169
a journalism job and have this be the side gig.
123
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:37.870
So it's crazy to think of how, just how crazy
124
00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:42.250
it's blown up over the years and just seeing how
125
00:08:42.289 --> 00:08:43.970
well people are really reacting to it.
126
00:08:44.669 --> 00:08:51.529
You know, and how I got into podcasting myself, it
127
00:08:51.730 --> 00:08:59.980
was 2015. Like, I heard this one guy speak on YouTube.
128
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.720
He was like, you know, you gotta keep an eye
129
00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:12.330
on podcasting. Podcasting's gonna be the future. And this is, like, before, like,
130
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:17.309
it really started to blow up. And then years later,
131
00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:20.350
it seems like everybody has a podcast now.
132
00:09:23.230 --> 00:09:23.590
Right.
133
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.559
That's interesting that what you said about, you know, podcasting
134
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.120
since 2015, you know, one of the things I learned
135
00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:37.289
going into podcasting was I kind of had the mindset
136
00:09:37.330 --> 00:09:40.070
that podcasting had just blown up or that it was
137
00:09:40.090 --> 00:09:41.980
just like a new thing that people were doing and,
138
00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.690
It wasn't until I had a few guests come on,
139
00:09:47.210 --> 00:09:50.450
either guests I've been on or shows that I've been
140
00:09:50.490 --> 00:09:52.049
on personally, that.
141
00:09:51.929 --> 00:09:54.169
I said, oh, yeah, I've been podcasting since the 2000s.
142
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:58.929
And you hear that and you think, well, why did
143
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.970
it take so long for me?
144
00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:02.200
It to kind of blow up? And I thought, really?
145
00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:06.159
You know, I had this mind of like, podcasting's been
146
00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:06.919
around that long?
147
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.340
And it's crazy.
148
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.759
Oh yeah, I mean like, you know, basically, you know,
149
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.360
podcasting's been around since.
150
00:10:20.929 --> 00:10:24.850
1990s, pretty much, like, you know, I remember, you know,
151
00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:29.710
listening to some of the shows on, uh, some of
152
00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:33.309
the wrestling shows that they had with the podcasting, and,
153
00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:37.220
you know, they had other stuff, it's like, you didn't
154
00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:40.279
really know about it, like, now it's like there's more
155
00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:45.299
of a community surrounded around everything, like, before it was
156
00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:48.519
like the wild, wild west with, pretty much with it.
157
00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:57.169
Yeah, it's funny how really everything kind of came through
158
00:10:57.230 --> 00:11:00.509
and how everything really has been going up over the
159
00:11:00.529 --> 00:11:03.789
past few years, you know. I kind of knew, I
160
00:11:03.789 --> 00:11:06.309
want to say, I think I got introduced to podcasting
161
00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:10.309
officially back in 2019. There was a YouTuber that I
162
00:11:10.850 --> 00:11:13.210
used to watch. I don't watch a lot of her
163
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:18.250
stuff anymore. Had a podcast and she, of course, put
164
00:11:18.289 --> 00:11:19.710
it up on YouTube and.
165
00:11:19.649 --> 00:11:20.850
It was on social media as well.
166
00:11:36.509 --> 00:11:40.509
There was a cyclone that caused destruction It left cities
167
00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:46.769
in ruin People reacted in confusion Like their lives needed
168
00:11:46.830 --> 00:11:51.620
more frustration The cyclone left many stranded without a home
169
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.830
It left many without power for days The endless lines
170
00:11:57.870 --> 00:12:02.129
for gas began The way home was a long trip
171
00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:02.850
through town.
172
00:12:02.769 --> 00:12:08.350
Home wasn't the same as before My New Jersey is
173
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:13.330
now a third world nation Many tried to run but
174
00:12:13.350 --> 00:12:17.789
eventually had to face the storm.
175
00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:19.539
We all faced it and we ask what happens now.
176
00:12:23.049 --> 00:12:24.669
Just shortly before the day.
177
00:12:24.429 --> 00:12:28.610
It was talked about heavily We have a holiday coming
178
00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:33.830
and a weak economy Will there be an explosion of
179
00:12:33.870 --> 00:12:34.649
some kind?
180
00:12:34.690 --> 00:12:39.340
Will there be catastrophe worse than the cyclone?
181
00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:46.320
We need to be ready People will go mad soon
182
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.620
Drugs the doctors prescribe won't work.
183
00:12:50.409 --> 00:12:52.879
There has to be another way.
184
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.240
Home wasn't the same as before. My New Jersey is
185
00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:02.740
now a third world nation. Many tried to run, but
186
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:03.759
eventually had.
187
00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.799
To face the storm.
188
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.419
We all faced it, and.
189
00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:28.529
We asked, what happens now? Today, we need help. Tomorrow,
190
00:13:28.610 --> 00:13:32.860
who knows what will happen. This might be our fate
191
00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:33.649
and stress.
192
00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:37.980
Many will repair this catastrophe.
193
00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:42.179
And everyone will help one another as before. However, is
194
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.659
anyone ready for the changes.
195
00:13:45.139 --> 00:14:01.120
Such as this? Perhaps. Perhaps. Our New Jersey is now
196
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:06.259
a third world nation Many tried to run But eventually
197
00:14:06.370 --> 00:14:08.610
had to face the.
198
00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:10.830
Storm We all faced it And we ask What happens now?
199
00:14:20.809 --> 00:14:23.190
Well, promotion. So I would watch it.
200
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.000
And that was kind of one of the first few
201
00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:28.840
podcasts that I remember listening to. I think it might
202
00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:32.470
have been the first one I listened to. Um, so
203
00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:34.750
that's how i kind of got introduced to it was
204
00:14:34.809 --> 00:14:38.070
actually youtuber doing it um that's like a sign thing
205
00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:41.330
and then after that it just kind of has blown
206
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.039
up and you know like you said everyone now has
207
00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:48.080
a podcast it feels like and uh people said to
208
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.000
me that you know that's kind of the new norm
209
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.509
right now or what people are normally doing right now
210
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:57.720
is podcasting and you know it's um it's just crazy
211
00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:59.460
to see how much it's changed.
212
00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:00.179
Over the past few years.
213
00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:03.179
But, um, I think I love that it's starting to
214
00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:05.710
really get some attention now because podcasting really, I think
215
00:15:05.769 --> 00:15:07.070
it's really a great thing to do.
216
00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:10.629
No, I'm going to, I'm going to shift gears for
217
00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:14.509
a little bit, you know, still thinking about the same thing,
218
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:21.600
same topic, but what's, what's your mindset going into the podcast?
219
00:15:21.669 --> 00:15:26.309
What's your mindset? Like, how do you like, What's your genre?
220
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:29.850
What's your focus? What's all of that?
221
00:15:33.429 --> 00:15:37.100
So, when I first started doing my shows, it was
222
00:15:37.149 --> 00:15:40.279
basically kind of a sporadic thing.
223
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.600
I didn't really know exactly how.
224
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.600
I wanted to go about podcasting or what I wanted
225
00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:52.940
to talk about. For Lethal Venom, especially, I think the
226
00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:57.360
first few episodes of my podcast are just me. It's
227
00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.799
solo episodes, and it's me just sharing the honest truth
228
00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:08.409
about things that I had opinions on. Halfway through doing that, though,
229
00:16:08.529 --> 00:16:10.070
I started realizing that.
230
00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:12.950
I was starting to run out of things to say.
231
00:16:13.649 --> 00:16:17.250
And I thought, oh, Lord, this is something that I'm
232
00:16:17.429 --> 00:16:19.769
really struggling on. At the time, I had two other
233
00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:23.669
podcasts that kind of were like I could piggyback off
234
00:16:23.750 --> 00:16:26.230
of and could really talk a lot about different things
235
00:16:26.289 --> 00:16:27.070
on those podcasts.
236
00:16:27.090 --> 00:16:28.809
Those podcasts would have had trouble.
237
00:16:29.529 --> 00:16:33.000
But with this being more of a personal one, basically
238
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.320
everything that I had really talked about, I had actually discussed.
239
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.980
So I was starting to run out of ideas of like,
240
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.690
what can I cover?
241
00:16:41.730 --> 00:16:43.669
What can I talk about? Because I couldn't think of
242
00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:44.190
anything specific.
243
00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:48.970
Um, but then I got an email from pod match,
244
00:16:49.169 --> 00:16:51.440
you know, the Alex, the founder of it.
245
00:16:51.490 --> 00:16:53.769
And he was like, by the way, I found your podcast.
246
00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:56.950
I thought that your podcast is really great. Your vulnerability is.
247
00:16:56.950 --> 00:17:00.029
Something that I, I think a lot of podcasters would
248
00:17:00.649 --> 00:17:01.950
do what you'd be interested in.
249
00:17:01.889 --> 00:17:03.370
Coming on her platform.
250
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:07.839
And of course I thought, scam because at that point
251
00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:09.579
i was starting to get a lot of scam emails
252
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.380
about different jobs and just different things that i've actually
253
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.809
fallen victim to a few scams myself but then i
254
00:17:16.829 --> 00:17:19.970
thought well it is for podcasting i haven't had a
255
00:17:20.650 --> 00:17:24.849
like a recommendation for podcasting so i thought well let
256
00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:26.559
me look into it and see what i can find
257
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.400
i didn't see any bad reviews for it i didn't
258
00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:32.480
see any bad things coming from the podcast i thought
259
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.089
okay well maybe they are legit so I signed up
260
00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:40.529
with them, and the rest was kind of history after that.
261
00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:41.990
I started getting.
262
00:17:41.829 --> 00:17:44.789
Interviews and people to come on my show, and I
263
00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:46.490
started going on podcasts myself.
264
00:17:46.509 --> 00:17:49.940
It was like a surprise. I was like, oh, really?
265
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.240
I thought, okay.
266
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.740
Initially, when I went into it, it was more personal
267
00:17:55.789 --> 00:17:58.490
stories and personal opinions that I had. But then it
268
00:17:58.509 --> 00:18:01.930
kind of turned into people sharing their personal story and
269
00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:05.289
just having different people from different backgrounds come on and
270
00:18:05.349 --> 00:18:09.130
share what they really honestly want to say without having
271
00:18:09.170 --> 00:18:12.789
that guilt of being judged or being seen as like different.
272
00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:16.740
And I've had some amazing guests over the past year
273
00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:19.349
and a half come on. And it's just been really
274
00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:22.410
a really unique experience, and I can't think of doing
275
00:18:22.450 --> 00:18:23.450
anything else but this.
276
00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:33.039
No, I take that point. I mean, I guess me, personally, like,
277
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.839
right now with the podcasts that I've been doing, like,
278
00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:40.279
and I've got many of them, the best podcast that
279
00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:48.299
I've done, like, now had been with my dad. Yeah,
280
00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:53.980
I mean, like, it's like, when you do it with family,
281
00:18:55.269 --> 00:19:01.309
it means something. I mean, that's just me. But, uh,
282
00:19:01.970 --> 00:19:06.930
you know, I don't know, it's like, you know, who, like,
283
00:19:07.130 --> 00:19:10.430
what type of guests have been your favorite? I guess
284
00:19:10.450 --> 00:19:12.299
that's my question that I'm leading into.
285
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.859
Oh, there's been so many, um, A few that stand
286
00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:22.900
out was last year I had a woman come on
287
00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:25.940
that had, I think, one of the most heartbreaking stories
288
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.390
I had ever heard. And it was one of the
289
00:19:28.890 --> 00:19:32.690
darkest episodes I did at that point. I think technically
290
00:19:32.750 --> 00:19:36.490
it might still be like the most heartbreaking story.
291
00:19:36.250 --> 00:19:37.730
I've had on the podcast so far.
292
00:19:37.750 --> 00:19:44.670
This lady came on and basically shared so much about
293
00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:47.029
her traumatic childhood and talked about so much.
294
00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:49.920
A lot of trauma that happened to her in her
295
00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:52.319
younger years and it.
296
00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:55.380
Was just the most touching I actually almost cried during
297
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.400
it I normally don't do that for shows at all
298
00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:02.420
but something really tugged my heart strings.
299
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.319
With that and it just really struck a nerve with
300
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.240
me and she was really the.
301
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.160
Just an empowering persona that she had and just the
302
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:20.220
resilience that she had been through. I was stunned at
303
00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:25.319
how captivating her story was. She personally has been one
304
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.480
of my favorite episodes I've done. And I think, technically,
305
00:20:29.529 --> 00:20:34.130
I think it'll probably be the darkest episode I'll ever post. Now,
306
00:20:35.589 --> 00:20:38.289
you don't really know what the future holds, but.
307
00:20:38.809 --> 00:20:39.950
I've not had a guest.
308
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.940
since her that have had that have reached and have
309
00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:49.059
tried to compete with the traumatic things that she had
310
00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:52.640
been through i just have not had such a gut-wrenching
311
00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:56.119
episode since then um i'm trying to think of some
312
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.000
other yeah i've done so many and they they tend
313
00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:01.910
to kind of get blurred together and you know i
314
00:21:01.930 --> 00:21:05.309
i always leave people out that i think when people
315
00:21:05.349 --> 00:21:09.109
ask me these kind of questions um I've had a
316
00:21:09.109 --> 00:21:11.869
lot of people that have had mental health struggles come on.
317
00:21:13.410 --> 00:21:16.309
And those stories are really the ones that really tug
318
00:21:16.509 --> 00:21:19.349
close to me. Because as someone that went through mental.
319
00:21:19.109 --> 00:21:22.190
Health, I have a personal attachment with it.
320
00:21:22.390 --> 00:21:27.079
I know me too. Me too. I mean, I go
321
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:27.990
through a lot of that.
322
00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:31.640
So those are always the kind of guests that I
323
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.250
really love having on there. And then I love just
324
00:21:34.269 --> 00:21:36.769
the sporadic-ness of having episodes.
325
00:21:36.849 --> 00:21:40.559
I mean, there was one day I just remember having someone,
326
00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.700
just having a full day, and I thought, you know what?
327
00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:47.140
This is probably the true definition of chaotic, and you
328
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.099
just never know. I think I used to do multiple
329
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:53.299
guests in one day. I really spiked off a little
330
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.200
bit because it ended up being a little bit too
331
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.650
much work and a little bit.
332
00:21:56.630 --> 00:21:59.650
Overpowering with the amount of work I was having to do.
333
00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:03.369
But I just remember one day I had this overall
334
00:22:04.049 --> 00:22:08.599
chaoticness of guests come on. I had one that was,
335
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.400
I think, a mental health story. One that was in
336
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.049
the business industry. I had one that was kind of
337
00:22:16.089 --> 00:22:19.250
in the adult entertainment industry. And then after that, I
338
00:22:19.289 --> 00:22:22.329
had someone that was very religious come on in. I
339
00:22:22.369 --> 00:22:26.250
just remember finishing that day and I thought, you know,
340
00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:27.410
I think.
341
00:22:27.289 --> 00:22:28.190
This is the truth.
342
00:22:28.269 --> 00:22:32.170
I think this right here explains the true definition of chaotic.
343
00:22:33.430 --> 00:22:35.849
The true definition of you just never know what you're.
344
00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:37.869
Going to expect from a show. And I.
345
00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:43.380
I typically, I don't really promote episodes coming up beforehand.
346
00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:47.700
I think I'm the only podcast that doesn't do teasers
347
00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:53.210
like that. Now, I do post teasers after the episode
348
00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:55.970
comes available and all that. But I love to.
349
00:22:55.970 --> 00:22:57.049
Try to keep the suspense.
350
00:22:57.329 --> 00:22:59.170
I try to keep it where people don't really know
351
00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:01.289
what they're getting themselves into, really.
352
00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:05.210
I like to have kind of this shock factor in there. But.
353
00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:10.579
Yeah, it's just been a really unique experience. I've had
354
00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:13.049
so many guests on there. I feel like I can't
355
00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:15.390
really pinpoint one without forgetting so many.
356
00:23:17.410 --> 00:23:23.269
Yeah, I mean, that's... That's the way to be. I mean,
357
00:23:24.930 --> 00:23:28.660
so I had to... I wish I had more time,
358
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:33.019
but I got a podcast in like five minutes from
359
00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:40.549
now for a pod match, too. But I want to
360
00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:49.049
say thank you for doing what you do. I want
361
00:23:49.109 --> 00:23:52.190
to say that. Thank you for doing what you do because, like,
362
00:23:54.670 --> 00:23:59.279
with everything going on and the chaos and everything, like,
363
00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:06.039
we all need a sense of community. so I want
364
00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:10.960
to thank you for that and like before we wrap
365
00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:16.269
this podcast up is there anything that you would like
366
00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:16.829
to plug.
367
00:24:20.369 --> 00:24:22.730

372
00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:38.509

373
00:24:38.529 --> 00:24:41.910

00:24:42.009 --> 00:24:43.529
need to find is on my website.
375
00:24:44.569 --> 00:24:50.630
Okay, thank you, Noah. Well, Noah... Have a very good day,
376
00:24:50.789 --> 00:24:55.509
and thank you for being on the Joseph Evaldi podcast.
377
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:03.839
Of Ebenezer Scrooge, where he was visited by three ghosts
378
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.980
that changed his life. But we don't know the story
379
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.220
of his friend Jacob Marley. Jacob was rotting in hell
380
00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.680
for the horror he had done to others around him,
381
00:25:18.750 --> 00:25:22.410
and for what he did to have Scrooge look up
382
00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:26.599
to him. So for that we will start with the
383
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:32.180
story where Jacob's story last left off. He wanted to
384
00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:37.259
repent for what he did, so he repented and God
385
00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:43.200
granted him a shot. On Christmas Eve, Jacob Marley was
386
00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:48.079
told by Archangel Michael that he had to appear to
387
00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:54.210
Scrooge as a ghost to his protege and warn him
388
00:25:54.269 --> 00:25:58.470
of what was to come. He suffered from his sins
389
00:25:58.609 --> 00:26:03.119
for seven years, which will be discussed in the story
390
00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:10.539
of Jacob Marley, From Hell to Redemption. From Sorrow to Heaven.
391
00:26:11.130 --> 00:26:16.670
Because one man's life is changed, it causes a ripple
392
00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:21.539
that will affect many others. This is the story of
393
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:28.660
Jacob Marley. Just as the ghosts appear to Ebenezer, Jacob
394
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:34.220
will appear as a ghost for redemption to people close
395
00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:39.890
to his life. God has the final judgment on his soul.
396
00:26:41.069 --> 00:26:44.890
Will Jacob be redeemed and go to heaven?
397
00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:58.559

This is the Joseph Evaldi Podcast. I'm with Noah May.

And he is going to be discussing on goals pertaining
12

to mental health, and much more, and I could relate
13
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.299
with some issues, I go through, I mean, I've been
14
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.670
battling depression even like before this podcast, I'm fighting my
15
00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:23.469
own depression to actually get to meeting the goal and
16
00:01:24.650 --> 00:01:30.719
making the podcast, so, uh, Noah, welcome aboard, uh, Can
17
00:01:30.769 --> 00:01:34.409
you tell us a little bit about how you got
18
00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:35.969
into the field that you got into?
19
00:02:42.270 --> 00:02:43.110
No, no, no.
20
00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:47.569
Hold on. Hold on one second. No. Sorry to do that.
21
00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:52.110
It's just audio problems. Hold on one second. Okay, you
22
00:02:52.129 --> 00:02:52.789
can continue.
23
00:02:55.490 --> 00:02:55.990
Alright.
24
00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:00.719
So, I went through my first year of college. I
25
00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:05.599
started to have a podcast bug because I started noticing
26
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:09.000
that podcasting was starting to become more popular and people
27
00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:10.960
were starting to make really good careers off of it.
28
00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:11.860
So I thought, you know what?
29
00:03:13.930 --> 00:03:15.530
I have some things that I could talk about and
30
00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:20.430
say and So for about the next four or five years,
31
00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:24.000
I started to look into podcasting. And every time I
32
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.599
started wanting to do a podcast, something always came up
33
00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:29.840
in my personal life where I had.
34
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:30.879
To take care of that first.
35
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.599
When I went to Auburn, transferred to Auburn, we had
36
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.520
a guy that came to one of my journalism classes
37
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.379
I was taking and said that he was opening up
38
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.639
a podcasting.
39
00:03:40.419 --> 00:03:41.439
Course next year.
40
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.300
That if you were interested in wanting to sign up
41
00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:47.389
to talk to your advisor about it.
42
00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:50.120
So I went to my advisors, told.
43
00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:54.490
Her about the podcast class, and they put me on
44
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.949
the white list. And luckily I was able to get
45
00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.870
in the podcast class and was actually able to.
46
00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:04.770
Get a little step closer to becoming a podcaster.
47
00:04:05.449 --> 00:04:08.289
There was things I learned from the class, but there
48
00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:10.789
was also a lot of other things I didn't know
49
00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:14.830
So I took the year after I got out of
50
00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:18.389
the class to focus on it. And in 2025, I
51
00:04:18.430 --> 00:04:23.189
started doing podcasting, which originally was supposed to be a hobby,
52
00:04:23.269 --> 00:04:26.160
but it ended up turning into a full-time job. So
53
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.720
that's kind of how I got into podcasting and kind
54
00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.930
of got to this point. it wasn't the initial plan,
55
00:04:32.269 --> 00:04:34.110
but I'm not really mad about how.
56
00:04:33.949 --> 00:04:37.279
Things have turned out, because I really do enjoy podcasting
57
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:37.660
so much.
58
00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:42.579
Yeah, I could relate to that, because, like, I mean,
59
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.490
just even during this podcast, like, as we mentioned, like,
60
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.050
there was a technological glitch, and, you know, that's all
61
00:04:51.129 --> 00:04:53.970
part of podcasting. Like, you know, you gotta know how
62
00:04:54.029 --> 00:05:04.350
to handle the storms as they come to... Yeah, you
63
00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:05.009
never know.
64
00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:09.670
What to expect through podcasting. You never know what to expect.
65
00:05:10.069 --> 00:05:12.089
It's always kind of a fun thing and funny when
66
00:05:12.129 --> 00:05:16.660
it happens. But it really does keep you on your toes.
67
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.259
Yeah, I mean, like.
68
00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:25.579
I mean, for the past few... For the past few weeks.
69
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.680
For some, and I gotta bring this to the podcast,
70
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.600
for the past few weeks, I've been thinking that I've
71
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.579
had a pod match curse on me because I've had, like,
72
00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:38.319
everything just go wrong on me.
73
00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.040
And with being the host.
74
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:48.350
So, it's like, I mean, you figure podcasting, you deal with,
75
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:56.269
you know, cancellations, tech glitches, you know, you're showing up,
76
00:05:56.430 --> 00:06:00.949
they're not showing up, or you have problems in your
77
00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:04.990
life and stuff like that. Like, I can relate to that.
78
00:06:08.149 --> 00:06:11.040
Oh, yeah, that's one of the big things I've witnessed
79
00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:11.620
too is.
80
00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:16.639
The cancellations, last-minute cancellations, people showing up.
81
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.360
I don't really understand how.
82
00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:22.449
Difficult it can be at times and how frustrating it
83
00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:26.540
can be but it always tends to work out in
84
00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.279
the end. But in the moment, it really is a
85
00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:34.500
struggle and really kind of as a bummer, but typically it,
86
00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:37.910
I gotta say it happens less often than you, than
87
00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:39.410
you might think.
88
00:06:39.829 --> 00:06:42.850
So, um, I've had, it happened.
89
00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:44.910
There's been days where I thought I was just totally
90
00:06:44.930 --> 00:06:47.629
pushed and thought that if there's something in the air today,
91
00:06:47.649 --> 00:06:48.709
that's going on. Why not?
92
00:06:48.769 --> 00:06:54.600
Why not? It could really, um, So I fully, fully
93
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.680
understand that. I've dealt with those same things as well.
94
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.360
With podcasting, like, is there some of the better stuff
95
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.930
that you say, you know, this is some of my
96
00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:11.529
best stuff. I'm glad I've done it. Like that you're
97
00:07:11.550 --> 00:07:12.000
proud of.
98
00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:19.480
You know, looking at just how well all the podcast
99
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.709
has done and how well it's kind of happened over
100
00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:25.649
the year over the past year I.
101
00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:29.699
Gotta say I am a.
102
00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:32.220
Little shocked of how well the podcasting has turned out
103
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.439
a lot of my friends especially um had doubts with
104
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.350
it you know that they were supportive of what I
105
00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:42.149
was doing and they always said that oh yeah your
106
00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:45.910
thing it'll take off and everything will work out in
107
00:07:45.930 --> 00:07:50.029
the end But I don't think they really expected to
108
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:54.240
see the podcast really fully blow up as quickly as
109
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:54.740
it did.
110
00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.379
And I was a little surprised at it myself.
111
00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:02.240
I thought that this would be years and years and
112
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.079
years of trying to work and trying.
113
00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:05.180
To build something up.
114
00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:10.910
And the reality of the whole situation was it happened
115
00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:11.889
just so quickly. So....
116
00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:16.660
I got to say, I am proud of how well
117
00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:17.540
the show has done.
118
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.959
You know, I never really thought that I would be
119
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.040
doing this full time.
120
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.240
And, you know, I thought, oh, I'm going to.
121
00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:28.680
Get a career in radio or do a broadcast or
122
00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:33.169
a journalism job and have this be the side gig.
123
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:37.870
So it's crazy to think of how, just how crazy
124
00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:42.250
it's blown up over the years and just seeing how
125
00:08:42.289 --> 00:08:43.970
well people are really reacting to it.
126
00:08:44.669 --> 00:08:51.529
You know, and how I got into podcasting myself, it
127
00:08:51.730 --> 00:08:59.980
was 2015. Like, I heard this one guy speak on YouTube.
128
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.720
He was like, you know, you gotta keep an eye
129
00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:12.330
on podcasting. Podcasting's gonna be the future. And this is, like, before, like,
130
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:17.309
it really started to blow up. And then years later,
131
00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:20.350
it seems like everybody has a podcast now.
132
00:09:23.230 --> 00:09:23.590
Right.
133
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.559
That's interesting that what you said about, you know, podcasting
134
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.120
since 2015, you know, one of the things I learned
135
00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:37.289
going into podcasting was I kind of had the mindset
136
00:09:37.330 --> 00:09:40.070
that podcasting had just blown up or that it was
137
00:09:40.090 --> 00:09:41.980
just like a new thing that people were doing and,
138
00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.690
It wasn't until I had a few guests come on,
139
00:09:47.210 --> 00:09:50.450
either guests I've been on or shows that I've been
140
00:09:50.490 --> 00:09:52.049
on personally, that.
141
00:09:51.929 --> 00:09:54.169
I said, oh, yeah, I've been podcasting since the 2000s.
142
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:58.929
And you hear that and you think, well, why did
143
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.970
it take so long for me?
144
00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:02.200
It to kind of blow up? And I thought, really?
145
00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:06.159
You know, I had this mind of like, podcasting's been
146
00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:06.919
around that long?
147
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.340
And it's crazy.
148
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.759
Oh yeah, I mean like, you know, basically, you know,
149
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.360
podcasting's been around since.
150
00:10:20.929 --> 00:10:24.850
1990s, pretty much, like, you know, I remember, you know,
151
00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:29.710
listening to some of the shows on, uh, some of
152
00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:33.309
the wrestling shows that they had with the podcasting, and,
153
00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:37.220
you know, they had other stuff, it's like, you didn't
154
00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:40.279
really know about it, like, now it's like there's more
155
00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:45.299
of a community surrounded around everything, like, before it was
156
00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:48.519
like the wild, wild west with, pretty much with it.
157
00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:57.169
Yeah, it's funny how really everything kind of came through
158
00:10:57.230 --> 00:11:00.509
and how everything really has been going up over the
159
00:11:00.529 --> 00:11:03.789
past few years, you know. I kind of knew, I
160
00:11:03.789 --> 00:11:06.309
want to say, I think I got introduced to podcasting
161
00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:10.309
officially back in 2019. There was a YouTuber that I
162
00:11:10.850 --> 00:11:13.210
used to watch. I don't watch a lot of her
163
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:18.250
stuff anymore. Had a podcast and she, of course, put
164
00:11:18.289 --> 00:11:19.710
it up on YouTube and.
165
00:11:19.649 --> 00:11:20.850
It was on social media as well.
166
00:11:36.509 --> 00:11:40.509
There was a cyclone that caused destruction It left cities
167
00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:46.769
in ruin People reacted in confusion Like their lives needed
168
00:11:46.830 --> 00:11:51.620
more frustration The cyclone left many stranded without a home
169
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.830
It left many without power for days The endless lines
170
00:11:57.870 --> 00:12:02.129
for gas began The way home was a long trip
171
00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:02.850
through town.
172
00:12:02.769 --> 00:12:08.350
Home wasn't the same as before My New Jersey is
173
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:13.330
now a third world nation Many tried to run but
174
00:12:13.350 --> 00:12:17.789
eventually had to face the storm.
175
00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:19.539
We all faced it and we ask what happens now.
176
00:12:23.049 --> 00:12:24.669
Just shortly before the day.
177
00:12:24.429 --> 00:12:28.610
It was talked about heavily We have a holiday coming
178
00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:33.830
and a weak economy Will there be an explosion of
179
00:12:33.870 --> 00:12:34.649
some kind?
180
00:12:34.690 --> 00:12:39.340
Will there be catastrophe worse than the cyclone?
181
00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:46.320
We need to be ready People will go mad soon
182
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.620
Drugs the doctors prescribe won't work.
183
00:12:50.409 --> 00:12:52.879
There has to be another way.
184
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.240
Home wasn't the same as before. My New Jersey is
185
00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:02.740
now a third world nation. Many tried to run, but
186
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:03.759
eventually had.
187
00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.799
To face the storm.
188
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.419
We all faced it, and.
189
00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:28.529
We asked, what happens now? Today, we need help. Tomorrow,
190
00:13:28.610 --> 00:13:32.860
who knows what will happen. This might be our fate
191
00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:33.649
and stress.
192
00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:37.980
Many will repair this catastrophe.
193
00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:42.179
And everyone will help one another as before. However, is
194
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.659
anyone ready for the changes.
195
00:13:45.139 --> 00:14:01.120
Such as this? Perhaps. Perhaps. Our New Jersey is now
196
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:06.259
a third world nation Many tried to run But eventually
197
00:14:06.370 --> 00:14:08.610
had to face the.
198
00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:10.830
Storm We all faced it And we ask What happens now?
199
00:14:20.809 --> 00:14:23.190
Well, promotion. So I would watch it.
200
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.000
And that was kind of one of the first few
201
00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:28.840
podcasts that I remember listening to. I think it might
202
00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:32.470
have been the first one I listened to. Um, so
203
00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:34.750
that's how i kind of got introduced to it was
204
00:14:34.809 --> 00:14:38.070
actually youtuber doing it um that's like a sign thing
205
00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:41.330
and then after that it just kind of has blown
206
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.039
up and you know like you said everyone now has
207
00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:48.080
a podcast it feels like and uh people said to
208
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.000
me that you know that's kind of the new norm
209
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.509
right now or what people are normally doing right now
210
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:57.720
is podcasting and you know it's um it's just crazy
211
00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:59.460
to see how much it's changed.
212
00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:00.179
Over the past few years.
213
00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:03.179
But, um, I think I love that it's starting to
214
00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:05.710
really get some attention now because podcasting really, I think
215
00:15:05.769 --> 00:15:07.070
it's really a great thing to do.
216
00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:10.629
No, I'm going to, I'm going to shift gears for
217
00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:14.509
a little bit, you know, still thinking about the same thing,
218
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:21.600
same topic, but what's, what's your mindset going into the podcast?
219
00:15:21.669 --> 00:15:26.309
What's your mindset? Like, how do you like, What's your genre?
220
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:29.850
What's your focus? What's all of that?
221
00:15:33.429 --> 00:15:37.100
So, when I first started doing my shows, it was
222
00:15:37.149 --> 00:15:40.279
basically kind of a sporadic thing.
223
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.600
I didn't really know exactly how.
224
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.600
I wanted to go about podcasting or what I wanted
225
00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:52.940
to talk about. For Lethal Venom, especially, I think the
226
00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:57.360
first few episodes of my podcast are just me. It's
227
00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.799
solo episodes, and it's me just sharing the honest truth
228
00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:08.409
about things that I had opinions on. Halfway through doing that, though,
229
00:16:08.529 --> 00:16:10.070
I started realizing that.
230
00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:12.950
I was starting to run out of things to say.
231
00:16:13.649 --> 00:16:17.250
And I thought, oh, Lord, this is something that I'm
232
00:16:17.429 --> 00:16:19.769
really struggling on. At the time, I had two other
233
00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:23.669
podcasts that kind of were like I could piggyback off
234
00:16:23.750 --> 00:16:26.230
of and could really talk a lot about different things
235
00:16:26.289 --> 00:16:27.070
on those podcasts.
236
00:16:27.090 --> 00:16:28.809
Those podcasts would have had trouble.
237
00:16:29.529 --> 00:16:33.000
But with this being more of a personal one, basically
238
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.320
everything that I had really talked about, I had actually discussed.
239
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.980
So I was starting to run out of ideas of like,
240
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.690
what can I cover?
241
00:16:41.730 --> 00:16:43.669
What can I talk about? Because I couldn't think of
242
00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:44.190
anything specific.
243
00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:48.970
Um, but then I got an email from pod match,
244
00:16:49.169 --> 00:16:51.440
you know, the Alex, the founder of it.
245
00:16:51.490 --> 00:16:53.769
And he was like, by the way, I found your podcast.
246
00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:56.950
I thought that your podcast is really great. Your vulnerability is.
247
00:16:56.950 --> 00:17:00.029
Something that I, I think a lot of podcasters would
248
00:17:00.649 --> 00:17:01.950
do what you'd be interested in.
249
00:17:01.889 --> 00:17:03.370
Coming on her platform.
250
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:07.839
And of course I thought, scam because at that point
251
00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:09.579
i was starting to get a lot of scam emails
252
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.380
about different jobs and just different things that i've actually
253
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.809
fallen victim to a few scams myself but then i
254
00:17:16.829 --> 00:17:19.970
thought well it is for podcasting i haven't had a
255
00:17:20.650 --> 00:17:24.849
like a recommendation for podcasting so i thought well let
256
00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:26.559
me look into it and see what i can find
257
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.400
i didn't see any bad reviews for it i didn't
258
00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:32.480
see any bad things coming from the podcast i thought
259
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.089
okay well maybe they are legit so I signed up
260
00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:40.529
with them, and the rest was kind of history after that.
261
00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:41.990
I started getting.
262
00:17:41.829 --> 00:17:44.789
Interviews and people to come on my show, and I
263
00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:46.490
started going on podcasts myself.
264
00:17:46.509 --> 00:17:49.940
It was like a surprise. I was like, oh, really?
265
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.240
I thought, okay.
266
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.740
Initially, when I went into it, it was more personal
267
00:17:55.789 --> 00:17:58.490
stories and personal opinions that I had. But then it
268
00:17:58.509 --> 00:18:01.930
kind of turned into people sharing their personal story and
269
00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:05.289
just having different people from different backgrounds come on and
270
00:18:05.349 --> 00:18:09.130
share what they really honestly want to say without having
271
00:18:09.170 --> 00:18:12.789
that guilt of being judged or being seen as like different.
272
00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:16.740
And I've had some amazing guests over the past year
273
00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:19.349
and a half come on. And it's just been really
274
00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:22.410
a really unique experience, and I can't think of doing
275
00:18:22.450 --> 00:18:23.450
anything else but this.
276
00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:33.039
No, I take that point. I mean, I guess me, personally, like,
277
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.839
right now with the podcasts that I've been doing, like,
278
00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:40.279
and I've got many of them, the best podcast that
279
00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:48.299
I've done, like, now had been with my dad. Yeah,
280
00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:53.980
I mean, like, it's like, when you do it with family,
281
00:18:55.269 --> 00:19:01.309
it means something. I mean, that's just me. But, uh,
282
00:19:01.970 --> 00:19:06.930
you know, I don't know, it's like, you know, who, like,
283
00:19:07.130 --> 00:19:10.430
what type of guests have been your favorite? I guess
284
00:19:10.450 --> 00:19:12.299
that's my question that I'm leading into.
285
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.859
Oh, there's been so many, um, A few that stand
286
00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:22.900
out was last year I had a woman come on
287
00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:25.940
that had, I think, one of the most heartbreaking stories
288
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.390
I had ever heard. And it was one of the
289
00:19:28.890 --> 00:19:32.690
darkest episodes I did at that point. I think technically
290
00:19:32.750 --> 00:19:36.490
it might still be like the most heartbreaking story.
291
00:19:36.250 --> 00:19:37.730
I've had on the podcast so far.
292
00:19:37.750 --> 00:19:44.670
This lady came on and basically shared so much about
293
00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:47.029
her traumatic childhood and talked about so much.
294
00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:49.920
A lot of trauma that happened to her in her
295
00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:52.319
younger years and it.
296
00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:55.380
Was just the most touching I actually almost cried during
297
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.400
it I normally don't do that for shows at all
298
00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:02.420
but something really tugged my heart strings.
299
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.319
With that and it just really struck a nerve with
300
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.240
me and she was really the.
301
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.160
Just an empowering persona that she had and just the
302
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:20.220
resilience that she had been through. I was stunned at
303
00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:25.319
how captivating her story was. She personally has been one
304
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.480
of my favorite episodes I've done. And I think, technically,
305
00:20:29.529 --> 00:20:34.130
I think it'll probably be the darkest episode I'll ever post. Now,
306
00:20:35.589 --> 00:20:38.289
you don't really know what the future holds, but.
307
00:20:38.809 --> 00:20:39.950
I've not had a guest.
308
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.940
since her that have had that have reached and have
309
00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:49.059
tried to compete with the traumatic things that she had
310
00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:52.640
been through i just have not had such a gut-wrenching
311
00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:56.119
episode since then um i'm trying to think of some
312
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.000
other yeah i've done so many and they they tend
313
00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:01.910
to kind of get blurred together and you know i
314
00:21:01.930 --> 00:21:05.309
i always leave people out that i think when people
315
00:21:05.349 --> 00:21:09.109
ask me these kind of questions um I've had a
316
00:21:09.109 --> 00:21:11.869
lot of people that have had mental health struggles come on.
317
00:21:13.410 --> 00:21:16.309
And those stories are really the ones that really tug
318
00:21:16.509 --> 00:21:19.349
close to me. Because as someone that went through mental.
319
00:21:19.109 --> 00:21:22.190
Health, I have a personal attachment with it.
320
00:21:22.390 --> 00:21:27.079
I know me too. Me too. I mean, I go
321
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:27.990
through a lot of that.
322
00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:31.640
So those are always the kind of guests that I
323
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.250
really love having on there. And then I love just
324
00:21:34.269 --> 00:21:36.769
the sporadic-ness of having episodes.
325
00:21:36.849 --> 00:21:40.559
I mean, there was one day I just remember having someone,
326
00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.700
just having a full day, and I thought, you know what?
327
00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:47.140
This is probably the true definition of chaotic, and you
328
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.099
just never know. I think I used to do multiple
329
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:53.299
guests in one day. I really spiked off a little
330
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.200
bit because it ended up being a little bit too
331
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.650
much work and a little bit.
332
00:21:56.630 --> 00:21:59.650
Overpowering with the amount of work I was having to do.
333
00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:03.369
But I just remember one day I had this overall
334
00:22:04.049 --> 00:22:08.599
chaoticness of guests come on. I had one that was,
335
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.400
I think, a mental health story. One that was in
336
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.049
the business industry. I had one that was kind of
337
00:22:16.089 --> 00:22:19.250
in the adult entertainment industry. And then after that, I
338
00:22:19.289 --> 00:22:22.329
had someone that was very religious come on in. I
339
00:22:22.369 --> 00:22:26.250
just remember finishing that day and I thought, you know,
340
00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:27.410
I think.
341
00:22:27.289 --> 00:22:28.190
This is the truth.
342
00:22:28.269 --> 00:22:32.170
I think this right here explains the true definition of chaotic.
343
00:22:33.430 --> 00:22:35.849
The true definition of you just never know what you're.
344
00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:37.869
Going to expect from a show. And I.
345
00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:43.380
I typically, I don't really promote episodes coming up beforehand.
346
00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:47.700
I think I'm the only podcast that doesn't do teasers
347
00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:53.210
like that. Now, I do post teasers after the episode
348
00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:55.970
comes available and all that. But I love to.
349
00:22:55.970 --> 00:22:57.049
Try to keep the suspense.
350
00:22:57.329 --> 00:22:59.170
I try to keep it where people don't really know
351
00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:01.289
what they're getting themselves into, really.
352
00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:05.210
I like to have kind of this shock factor in there. But.
353
00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:10.579
Yeah, it's just been a really unique experience. I've had
354
00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:13.049
so many guests on there. I feel like I can't
355
00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:15.390
really pinpoint one without forgetting so many.
356
00:23:17.410 --> 00:23:23.269
Yeah, I mean, that's... That's the way to be. I mean,
357
00:23:24.930 --> 00:23:28.660
so I had to... I wish I had more time,
358
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:33.019
but I got a podcast in like five minutes from
359
00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:40.549
now for a pod match, too. But I want to
360
00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:49.049
say thank you for doing what you do. I want
361
00:23:49.109 --> 00:23:52.190
to say that. Thank you for doing what you do because, like,
362
00:23:54.670 --> 00:23:59.279
with everything going on and the chaos and everything, like,
363
00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:06.039
we all need a sense of community. so I want
364
00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:10.960
to thank you for that and like before we wrap
365
00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:16.269
this podcast up is there anything that you would like
366
00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:16.829

376
00:24:50.789 --> 00:24:55.509
and thank you for being on the Joseph Evaldi podcast.
377
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:03.839
Of Ebenezer Scrooge, where he was visited by three ghosts
378
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.980
that changed his life. But we don't know the story
379
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.220
of his friend Jacob Marley. Jacob was rotting in hell
380
00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.680
for the horror he had done to others around him,
381
00:25:18.750 --> 00:25:22.410
and for what he did to have Scrooge look up
382
00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:26.599
to him. So for that we will start with the
383
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:32.180
story where Jacob's story last left off. He wanted to
384
00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:37.259
repent for what he did, so he repented and God
385
00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:43.200
granted him a shot. On Christmas Eve, Jacob Marley was
386
00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:48.079
told by Archangel Michael that he had to appear to
387
00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:54.210
Scrooge as a ghost to his protege and warn him
388
00:25:54.269 --> 00:25:58.470
of what was to come. He suffered from his sins
389
00:25:58.609 --> 00:26:03.119
for seven years, which will be discussed in the story
390
00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:10.539
of Jacob Marley, From Hell to Redemption. From Sorrow to Heaven.
391
00:26:11.130 --> 00:26:16.670
Because one man's life is changed, it causes a ripple
392
00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:21.539
that will affect many others. This is the story of
393
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:28.660
Jacob Marley. Just as the ghosts appear to Ebenezer, Jacob
394
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:34.220
will appear as a ghost for redemption to people close
395
00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:39.890
to his life. God has the final judgment on his soul.
396
00:26:41.069 --> 00:26:44.890
Will Jacob be redeemed and go to heaven?
397
00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:58.559
Check out The Ghost of Jacob Marley by Joseph Evaldi.
398
00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:02.900
