00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,020
What is going on guys welcome back to podquesting

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,360
This is going to be a different kind of episode

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,580
Because I am starting something new and I thought I would talk about it here. So let's just dive into it

4
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:28,280
Okay, so now I've never been a big Halloween person

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:36,100
I'm not really into horror films or hide houses, but this year I found a way to embrace the season in my own way

6
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,600
You're probably wondering what this has to do with podquesting. I will get to that in a little bit, but this fall

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,800
I'm starting a new side quest a Halloween miniseries and even though Halloween isn't my favorite holiday

8
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,360
There's something about the creativity and the atmosphere this time of year that makes it the perfect setting

9
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,900
for a fresh fun project

10
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,320
Now you might be wondering why a Halloween themed podcast if I'm not a fan of all things scary

11
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,720
Well, the answer lies in my love for fiction and fantasy

12
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,920
Fall has this magical quality to it that inspires stories of mystery in the supernatural

13
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,480
Things that don't necessarily have to be terrifying. So even though I'm not into jump scares and horror

14
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000
I'm excited to explore the seasons creative potential

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,400
Now I've got to be honest with you lately. I've been taking the fun out of podcasting

16
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,520
I've been focusing so much on the business side of things and yeah, that's important

17
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,840
But it's kind of overshadowed the creative joy that got me into this in the first place

18
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,280
I have solid plans and missions for all my podcasts

19
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,360
But I need to reconnect with the fun and creativity that drew me here. And so that's where this miniseries comes in

20
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,520
It's a chance for me to step outside my usual content

21
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Explore something new and maybe even bring a little Halloween magic to life through storytelling

22
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,880
sometimes you just need a creative reset to reinvigorate your main projects and

23
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,700
That's exactly what I'm hoping this will do for me

24
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,200
If you are interested you can check this out

25
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,920

26
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,400
Explore some of the eerie legends and customs from around the world

27
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,280
and of course, I'll throw in a spooky story or two in each episode and

28
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,240
If you're feeling like your creativity needs a boost

29
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:35,960
I encourage you to join me on this side quest whether it's creating a miniseries or diving into your own creative adventure

30
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Sometimes a little shift in focus is exactly what you need to reignite that spark

31
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,240

33
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120
That's going to be it for this episode

34
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,280
I just wanted to come on here and talk about how I am kind of trying to

35
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,800
Get back to being creative. And so that's where this is coming into play

36
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680
So hopefully this will help me and hopefully this helps you as well

37
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:18,200
If you are looking to you know get into the creative spirit if you will no pun intended and you maybe are struggling with that

38
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,200
As I am currently with podcasting and you're finding yourself

39
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,400
focusing more on a business side of things if you are wanting to take this seriously and

40
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,480
You're forgetting to have fun along the way. That's something I'm struggling with right now. So hopefully this helps you as well

41
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,400
Until next time keep on questing and if you enjoyed this episode
