Join Me for National Podcast Post Month

Join me as I try to do 30 podcasts in 30 days for National Podcast Post Month, also known as NaPodPoMo. NaPodPoMo was started by Jennifer Navarrete and has dozens of members who are participating this year. Last year’s NaPodPoMo was a lot of fun.

Besides the personal challenge in coming up with stuff to talk about for 30 days, what makes NaPodPoMo fun is that you get to hear other people who have something to contribute. It’s a great way to find podcasts that you didn’t know about.

Be sure to visit the site and sign up for the challenge. If you don’t want to podcast this year, then at least listen to some of the podcasts. Make some friends.

You can listen to my first post of the month on Utterli.

NaPodPoMo: Walking Around Wal-Mart

Something clicked and it occured to me that the perimeter of Wal-Mart makes for good walking. It is relatively safe from traffic and a large area to walk around. You can do any shopping you need before or after your walk. In the evenings, it is well lighted. There is security. And there is plenty of parking. If you live near a Wal-Mart like me, and far from a safe park, then it may be a good alternative for your fitness routine.

NaPodPoMo: Success In Your Spare Time

I’m really exhausted tonight, but I thought I would do the first podcast for NaPodPoMo. This is a challenge to podcasters, similar to NaBloPoMo, in which you commit to creating one blog post per day. So, I went ahead and did a show on Blog Talk Radio. I think BTR will be the way that I create podcasts for this effort.

Tonight’s topic is about my observation that many people become successful in their spare time rather than at their jobs. Aspiring actors, for example, will go out and audition on their days off. Musicians will work gigs on the weekends. Business people will volunteer time at the Chamber of Commerce and serve on various boards of directors in their spare time, or they make time. The point is that there seems to be a disconnect between what one does for a living and what one does to become successful. My social networking, blogging, podcasting, and video are all done in my spare time, by the way.

Do you think there is anything to this observation? Share your thoughts.
