Welcome to Narrowing the Divide.

00:00:01.766 --> 00:00:03.350
I'm your Dan Woerheide, .

00:00:03.350 --> 00:00:13.787
You may have noticed some changes if you're already familiar with the show and the few episodes which I'd previously released, and if you're not new here, I'm sorry.

00:00:13.787 --> 00:00:21.967
If you are new here, then I hope this introduction gives you some insight into the content here and my journey along the way.

00:00:21.967 --> 00:00:30.603
While this show may be new, I had previously created content before taking a bit of a break from podcasting.

00:00:30.603 --> 00:00:34.304
Overall, I wanted to start my show start.

00:00:34.304 --> 00:00:38.514
If I could learn to speak, I might become a better podcaster.

00:00:38.514 --> 00:00:50.746
I wanted to start the show back up, but as I did, I started to quickly realize that I wanted to focus on something slightly different.

00:00:50.746 --> 00:00:59.912
I wanted to shift and it no longer made sense to keep the previous show and just continue to build on what was there, which is what I had started to do.

00:00:59.912 --> 00:01:06.873
You can find those previous conversations in the archives if you just search for the Pro Growth Podcast.

00:01:06.873 --> 00:01:23.810
That podcast has a ton of great conversations with some great people, some solo episodes and a mix of episodes with a co-host who I still believe was one of the greatest co-hosts out there, had a really good time creating that content.

00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:36.650
And then life happened, I chose to take a break from the podcast altogether and from some of the business efforts that I was involved in at the time, but I'm proud to say that I'm back.

00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:45.528
There's a new focus, there's a new energy and some new ideas around the content that I wanted to create here and some new ideas around the content that I wanted to create here.

00:01:45.528 --> 00:01:54.036
So I'm not new to the world of podcasting, but I am still definitely learning and growing, always seeking out new learning opportunities and new challenges.

00:01:54.036 --> 00:01:57.201
Life is about the journey.

00:01:57.221 --> 00:02:18.175
I once heard Gary Vaynerchuk say something that intrigued me Everyone's out there showing you their final product, everybody's publishing their best content and there's many people striving to achieve that same level of content and it's preventing them from publishing.

00:02:18.175 --> 00:02:23.312
So he also said that not enough people are documenting the journey.

00:02:23.312 --> 00:02:25.437
And here I am.

00:02:25.437 --> 00:02:27.580
That resonated with me.

00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:31.104
I wanted to enjoy what I recognized was.

00:02:31.104 --> 00:02:39.754
I wanted to be able to enjoy simply the process of creating this podcast, or any content for that matter.

00:02:39.754 --> 00:02:51.811
I want to be able to enjoy it, to have the conversations I'd most like to have, and to share the things that I am passionate about or that I've learned along the way, as well as the things that are of interest to me.

00:02:51.811 --> 00:02:56.787
I have a variety of interests and I hope that you'll see some of those along the way.

00:02:57.776 --> 00:03:09.968
One of my coaches recently shared with me that there's really two primary and there's probably more, but really two primary approaches in his views to creating content.

00:03:09.968 --> 00:03:16.544
The first view is one many people take and it's about solving a particular problem.

00:03:16.544 --> 00:03:29.990
It's a content for a particular type of person or a person who has a particular problem or pain point, and it's very intentional, very focused and works very well.

00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:41.948
You know you can find podcasts on all kinds of topics that may be helping you to learn something specific about your business or about changing something in your life.

00:03:41.948 --> 00:03:47.001
You know you can go to an online marketing podcast and learn about email marketing.

00:03:47.001 --> 00:03:52.758
You can learn about sales funnels and all kinds of great resources.

00:03:52.758 --> 00:04:06.216
But then there's one more approach he suggested that there is in existence and it really resonated with me as well, and it's content that I'm creating for me that I'd like to share with you.

00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.316
So what's the premise of this podcast and what do I hope to achieve?

00:04:11.316 --> 00:04:18.600
I think I've already shared a little bit and given you some insights into some of that, but I want to address the rest of it.

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:35.641
This show is about narrowing the division between our current perceptions and, well, reality, and those perceptions might be perceptions that are holding us back from all of the possibilities that exist in the world.

00:04:35.641 --> 00:04:39.636
Those are the types of conversations I want to have.

00:04:39.636 --> 00:04:51.560
It's also about sharing my journey with you, as I mentioned, as I continue to learn and grow while growing my business and enhancing my own experiences and my own knowledge.

00:04:51.560 --> 00:05:09.848
I hope to bring you conversations that challenge your way of thinking, that enhance your personal and or your professional growth, and much more, as I dive into a variety of topics that align again with my interests and my passions that I also want to share with you.

00:05:09.848 --> 00:05:14.826
So it's definitely more than just a business or entrepreneurship podcast.

00:05:14.826 --> 00:05:21.468
It's about my journey, my growth, the things I enjoy learning, which I hope also benefits you.

00:05:23.156 --> 00:05:23.860
Who's this for?

00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:42.572
The conversations here, as I mentioned, are going to vary greatly, but if you're an online marketer, a coach, a podcaster, you're interested in entrepreneurship at all, or you just have a desire to learn about different things, I hope that this content will help you achieve some of that.

00:05:42.572 --> 00:05:50.644
I believe, as entrepreneurs, we should all be constantly learning, and I'm passionate about connecting with and inspiring others.

00:05:50.644 --> 00:06:02.767
I love to learn from other people about what they enjoy and how they're serving other people, and I believe that the process of lifelong learning should not be limited to one theme of content.

00:06:02.767 --> 00:06:04.199
So here I am.

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:10.887
That's what you'll find in the coming episodes, though the intro that's currently there.

00:06:10.887 --> 00:06:23.425
Again, these episodes I've previously published under a different brand and I've decided to shift that, create a brand new show for you, and so some of those episodes that exist were already recorded.

00:06:23.425 --> 00:06:26.483
I'm not going back and changing the intros y'all.

00:06:26.483 --> 00:06:31.107
I am just going to keep going, keep building, keep growing, keep learning.

00:06:31.107 --> 00:06:33.644
So you'll hear the intro there.

00:06:33.855 --> 00:06:42.610
I'm going to work on creating a new intro, but I wanted to get this introduction episode out to give you an idea about the content that you might find here.

00:06:42.610 --> 00:06:46.403
The premise will remain the same.

00:06:46.403 --> 00:06:47.826
From the intro you might hear.

00:06:47.826 --> 00:06:53.302
It's about improving yourself, your lifestyle, your business and or your income.

00:06:53.302 --> 00:07:07.023
If you want to create something new in the world, but your current perceptions may be preventing you from seeing all the possibilities exist that exist, then I hope you can gain new insights from these conversations.

00:07:07.023 --> 00:07:22.742
I hope that gives you some idea on the premise of this show and, along the way, you'll hear more about who I am as a father, as a veteran, as an entrepreneur, a coach, with a wide array of interests involved and passions.

00:07:22.742 --> 00:07:37.562
I look forward to having these interviews and for creating solo content along the way to share some of the ideas, some of the lessons and some of the knowledge and experiences that I've gained in my own journey.

00:07:38.783 --> 00:07:40.144
Thank you for tuning in.

00:07:40.144 --> 00:07:53.497
By the way, if you know someone who has a particular experience or expertise in an area that you're excited about, I'd love for you to share that with me.

00:07:53.497 --> 00:08:11.708
If you know someone who has experience and expertise in a topic that may be deemed divisive, I would love to be able to have a conversation and learn how we can view the world differently, and I'd love to know who they are.

00:08:11.708 --> 00:08:16.252
And if that's you, I'd just love you to reach out to me and share that with me.

00:08:16.252 --> 00:08:18.427
I'd love to schedule a call with you.

00:08:18.427 --> 00:08:26.581
I'm excited to continue to challenge myself and to learn along the way, so you can do that If you email me.

00:08:26.581 --> 00:08:29.249
You can email me at dan at danwus.

00:08:29.249 --> 00:08:56.749
You can also visit my podcast page, podcastdanwus, and leave me a voicemail If you have a question or you wanna hear about a particular topic, that's a great way to tell me about it, and if your question is something that I can bring a guest on to address or I can address it myself, I definitely will, with your permission, play that content in an upcoming episode.

00:08:56.749 --> 00:08:58.633
So, yeah, I love that feature.

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.546
By the way, I use Podpage.

00:09:01.546 --> 00:09:03.048
I have an affiliate link.

00:09:03.048 --> 00:09:09.091
If you'd like that, I'm happy to share it with you, but I just wanted to share it as a valuable resource for you.

00:09:09.091 --> 00:09:18.955
Podpage is a great hosting site for curating all of your podcast content, publishing videos, publishing blogs, etc.

00:09:18.955 --> 00:09:20.546
I don't do all of that.

00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:28.402
I certainly don't utilize all of the features available, but one that I really like is the streamlined process for guest intake.

00:09:28.402 --> 00:09:41.302
I can send a potential guest a booking link that will take them to fill out their profile, upload their picture and then it will follow through with taking them to the scheduling page.

00:09:41.302 --> 00:09:43.044
It's that easy.

00:09:43.044 --> 00:09:48.422
They sign an agreement, all done right there, super simple, and it's not very expensive.

00:09:48.422 --> 00:09:57.184
So, again, if you want the affiliate link, I certainly appreciate that, but it's not a requirement simply sharing a resource.

00:09:57.184 --> 00:10:14.827
You can reach out to me, dan, at danwus, and if you're wanting to know more about what it looks like to work with me directly as a coach or as part of my recently lost lost, recently launched mastermind.

00:10:14.827 --> 00:10:17.552
You can visit my website at danwus.

00:10:17.552 --> 00:10:32.831
So until next time, I hope you enjoy, don't forget to hit that follow or subscribe button, and if you found something valuable in one of these upcoming episodes, I hope that you'll share that with a friend.

00:10:32.831 --> 00:10:34.335
Take care.
