Podcasts about podcast junkies

At the core of every meaningful connection is a voice—a story waiting to be heard. Whether we share it through writing, speaking, or conversation, our voice is one of the most powerful tools we have to create impact and find alignment in life and business. But too often, we silence ourselves out of fear, doubt, or disconnection. This episode is a deep dive into what it really means to find your voice, own it, and use it to build genuine relationships and a more purposeful life. Today, I'm joined by Harry Duran—host of Podcast Junkies and founder of FullCast—whose journey is a powerful testament to the transformative power of storytelling. From nearly falling off a waterfall to building a soulful business, Harry shares how finding his voice helped him shape a life of deeper meaning and connection. Listen in as Harry and I talk about:

Vlak voordat Chris op het vliegtuig stapt om met Feyenoord naar Manchester te vliegen, discussiëren de mannen nog even pittig over schaatsen, voetbal, tennis en Formule 1. Chris legt uit waarom de belangstelling flink zal afnemen als Max zou stoppen met racen en Jaap benadrukt dat deze vierde wereldtitel echt niet normaal gevonden moet worden. Chris weet hoeveel geld de tennissers in de Davis Cup mogen verdelen en zet grote vraagtekens bij de toekomst van Sparta en Heereveen in de Eredivisie.

Chris en Jaap keken uiteraard naar Oranje en bespreken de hysterie rond het juichen van Weghorst en de opmerking van Koeman over social Media. Ze prijzen Louis van Gaal die even terug was in de kleedkamer van Ajax. Ook keken ze naar de wedstrijd die je geen wedstrijd mag noemen, het gevecht tussen Youtube-bokser Jake Paul en levende legende Mike Tyson. Een rode kaart gaat naar Barbara Barend die het roddelcircuit in werking zette door op de radio wel aan te geven dat ze een vreselijke tijd heeft gehad bij Studio Sport maar er verder niet op in kon gaan. En waarom is Nos-sport hoofdredacteur Hoekman per direct weg?

Chris en Jaap spreken met de hoofdredacteur van Wielerflits, een platform dat tegenwoordig vaak primeurs weet te bemachtigen die vroeger naar traditionele kranten gingen. Samen bespreken ze de evolutie van sportjournalistiek. Na de recente belangrijke Europese wedstrijden van Ajax, Feyenoord en PSV maakt Chris de zakelijke balans op: wat is de huidige marktwaarde van de spelers?

Jaap geniet nog na van de indrukwekkende overwinning van Ajax, terwijl Chris dit juist heel veel vindt zeggen over het niveau van de Eredivisie. Ze vragen hoogleraar Bas Kodden, die meer weet over leiding geven in de sport of dit succes toe te schrijven is aan de nieuwe trainer Farioli. Natuurlijk wordt ook de eerste Nederlandse overwinning van de New York marathon en het fantastische resultaat van Max Verstappen gevierd. Verder hebben de heren een duidelijke mening over de Engelse pers, het format van Studio Sport en het gerommel in de bestuurskamer van Ajax.

In deze scherpe aflevering van Sport Clash spreken we met wielersensatie Bas Tietema over zijn ambitieuze plan om met Tour de Tietema de Tour de France te bereiken en waarom de overstap naar een Franse licentie daarbij essentieel is – slim spelen of regels omzeilen? We bellen ook met schaatsicoon Christijn Groeneveld, die zijn aangrijpende verhaal deelt over een dramatische val en zijn inspirerende comeback. Bereid je voor op 20 minuten vol confrontatie, inspiratie en ongeremde sportpassie!

Legt die Ohren an ihr duften Podcast-Junkies, das lässt sich locker weghören.

From an early age, Harry Duran displayed a natural affinity for technology, tinkering with computers and embracing the latest gadgets. After briefly attending Syracuse University, Harry got distracted and lost his focus. He says he jumped around, never completing his degree, and then applied for a job at Chase Bank as a teller. Harry thought wearing a suit to work meant that he ‘made it.' He was a quick learner and adapted well, moving up the ranks in the banking world. In 1999, Harry's innate curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit compelled him to explore opportunities in the dotcom boom, a venture that ultimately fell short. Undeterred, he went into construction with his half-brother in Atlanta, only to return home to his parents, tail between his legs. Harry took some time to self-reflect and realized that many of his choices were heavily influenced by other people. He recognized the importance of finding his own voice and taking responsibility for his future. Harry was always interested in electronic music and grew up DJing. That was his first passion. He wanted to start a podcast interviewing DJs because he was fascinated with the culture. Harry also built a mobile app for electronic music. A turning point came in 2014 when Harry attended the New Media Expo in Las Vegas, where he realized the power of podcasting as a platform to share stories and connect with audiences. Inspired, he launched Podcast Junkies, a show that enabled him to hone his interviewing skills and develop a deep understanding of the podcasting landscape. Harry's entrepreneurial spirit soon took over, and he founded Fullcast, a full-service podcast production and marketing consultancy. Leveraging his corporate experience and newfound podcasting expertise, Harry has helped over 110 clients launch their own shows. But Harry's journey didn't stop there. In 2019, he identified a niche that ignited his passion – vertical farming. Recognizing the potential to educate and inform audiences about this emerging industry, Harry launched the Vertical Farming Podcast, a show that has since become a leading voice in the space, securing high-profile sponsorships and opening doors to international conferences. Throughout his winding path, Harry's unwavering commitment to finding his voice and creating his own stage has been the driving force behind his success. From the corporate world to entrepreneurial ventures, his story is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and the pursuit of finding meaningful work from the inside out.

Teaching Text: Luke 5:27-3227 After that He went out and looked at a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he left everything behind, and got up and began following Him.29 And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.” Primary Sources:Fighting Shadows- Jon Tyson and Jefferson BethkeFor Everyone (Matthew and Luke)- N.T.

I tease Harry Duran about how we first connected, because it makes me feel good about my scrappiness as a podcaster. He wasn't mean, just way bigger than me - and he still is, we're just connected now, which I'm so grateful for!Harry's first podcast, Podcast Junkies just hit the 10 year mark recently, and I'm super grateful to have been a guest (see episode 332). If you remember the show Inside the Actor's Studio, with James Lipton, it's based on that, but for podcasters. There are so many podcasters, and everyone has a story --His 2nd podcast, Vertical Farming, is about just that, and has brought him all over the world. He talks to CEOs of companies in the field to learn more about practices and purpose, and they love the chance to be featured, and Harry loves learning. so it's a win win. He also has a group that he's guiding in podcasting called podcast Blueprint - Harry talks about it on his Fullcast website here: https://fullcast.co/Harry and his partner moved a few years ago to Minnesota from NYC, and he doesn't talk about it a lot, so I thought it would be fun to see how that transition has been - listen to the full episode here!

"Podcasting changed my life!" so says podcast Junkie, Harry Duran. In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking my guest, Podcast Strategist, Keynote Speaker, Author and Podcast Junkie, Harry and I discuss the merits of an actors training and how it can help you show and share your vulnerable side. Harry spent 20 years working in the Marketing departments of JPMorganChase and E-Trade before switching to the world of podcasting. He's hosted his own show since 2014 and has published over 300+ interviews across his 3 shows. Originally, with an interest in electronic music, he intended to podcast interview DJs but soon pivoted when he realised that tracking down and interviewing superstar DJs wasn't so easy! And so, Podcast Junkies was born, an interview-based show focused on, he says, the true superstars of podcasting, the hosts themselves. He's since founded FullCast, a full-service, done-for-you podcast agency and has made it his personal mission to help one thousand business owners launch their podcast and become the leading authority in their market. And if that wasn't enough, he founded and hosts the Vertical Farming Podcast. He explains what that is and why finding a niche, especially if it's on a topic that 'lights you up' can lead to success for you and your audience. This is a fascinating conversation about speaking, podcasting, acting, and farming!

Happy Monday, my friend! Welcome to Inside the Minds of Authors. The podcast that is dedicated to bringing you passionate authors with exciting books. I'm thrilled to have the talented novelist, Mr. T.C. Morrison, with us. We are chatting about his third novel, the hilarious SEND IN THE TORT LAWYER$. Mr. Morrison is a retired lawyer with 45 years of experience in the field. Prior to becoming a litigation partner for three major law firms, he spent four years in the Air Force JAG Corps. With a very successful legal career under his belt, he focused his attention on one of his lifelong ambitions, writing a novel. Instead of writing a legal thriller, he used his experience to write about the humorous aspects of the law. He focused on the modern American litigation, and the fetish of filing class action lawsuits over every conceivable wrong or insult. That led to his first book, TORT$ 'R' US. A farce about twin brothers who leave their lucrative practices with major law firms to start up a plaintiff's class action firm. The brothers are now dealing with a cascade of wacky clients, dubious opponents, and perplexed judges. At the same time, they are pursuing several bizarre class action lawsuits. The second book in the series was SEND IN THE TORT LAWYER$. The latest installment is SEND IN THE TORT LAWYER$. This new adventure brings on a new cast of wacky clients and cases.

Philip Yancey once said, "Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us more, and grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us less." In this captivating episode, we embark on a journey to unravel the profound nature of God's grace. We confront a universal problem—we often strive for satisfaction through experiences, material possessions, self-interest, community, and joy but find ourselves unfulfilled. Drawing wisdom from the parable of the prodigal son, we explore how grace is experiential, material, individual, communal, and joyful. Discover how the grace of Jesus transforms lives, offering the ultimate satisfaction we all seek.

Happy Monday, my Friend! Welcome to Inside the Minds of Authors. The podcast that is dedicated to bringing you passionate authors with exciting books. We are excited you are joining us this evening. Today, we have debut Fantasy-YA Author, Mr. Jim Hepburn with us. He is chatting with us about his debut novel, Hunted by Fire. Like many young men in high school cursed with a dash of creativity, Jim found a love for writing, which everybody else thought was practically useless. Those folks urged him to get good at math and science instead, and so he worked at those, but he was never sure if he could hack them out at a university level. After he graduated from said university with an arts degree (where he had to read an awful lot), he wondered what other young people had gone through the same thing. It's always been his dream to inspire young men and women to pursue STEM projects. As he thinks the world could use as many helping hands as it can get and he thinks they are up to the challenge.

In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of our series, exploring how to navigate the fear and chaos that surrounds us. We begin with a touching story about a fearful child seeking comfort, highlighting the very real fears we all face today. From shifting societal values to concerns about religious freedom and political polarization, there's much that can cause anxiety. But, as we'll discover, the incarnation of Jesus is our guide in these turbulent times. The incarnation represents God's profound act of becoming fully human in Jesus Christ. It's a testament to God's love for humanity and His desire for reconciliation. Jesus entered the world of others, demonstrating love by stepping into their lives. We'll learn that, like Jesus, we should enter the worlds of those around us, showing love and compassion, even when we may not fully understand or agree with them. This requires us to hold onto our convictions while embracing others. It's a delicate balance, but one worth striving for. Moreover, we'll explore the tension of living between two worlds - the "already" and the "not yet." Just as Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world," we, too, must seek a kingdom perspective in navigating chaos. We'll wrap up by emphasizing that love must have a face, and the face of love is Jesus Christ. As we follow His example of love, patience, and kindness, we can make the incarnation our model for loving well. The episode concludes with a reminder from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 about what love truly means, and the importance of allowing Jesus' love to shine through us as we face the chaos of the world.

In this episode, we explore the profound message of grace and belonging through a captivating parable. We begin with a striking painting, diving into its details and the emotions it evokes, setting the stage for our journey. The problem is universal – we all long for moments of "homecoming," where grace and belonging embrace us. We see this echoed in the stories of the 'sinners' and 'Pharisees' drawn to Jesus, and we realize that we, too, seek these elements in our lives. The context unfolds, revealing Jesus' association with 'sinners' and 'tax collectors,' much to the dismay of the religious elite. We delve into the significance of teaching, associating, and eating with these groups, emphasizing Jesus' incarnational love. The message is clear: Jesus teaches us to seek grace and belonging not through fleeting pursuits like pleasure, power, envy, or greed, nor through rigid religious rituals, but through Him. His death and resurrection offer lasting satisfaction and belonging, unburdening us from the fruitless pursuit of worldly desires. As we close, we invite you to confess and find rest in Him, discovering the ultimate satisfaction and belonging that only Jesus provides.

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the timeless parable of the prodigal son, exploring its profound lessons on grace and belonging. The episode begins with a compelling quote from Tim Keller, painting a vivid picture of two sons, one 'bad' and one 'good,' both alienated from their father, using him as a means to their ends rather than seeking a genuine relationship. The problem is universal: we all relate to God differently and sometimes bargain with Him, creating agreements that we hold up only if God meets our desires. But when life doesn't go as planned, we feel abandoned. The context is set with Jesus' ministry, where He associated with both 'sinners' and 'Pharisees,' paving the way for this powerful parable. In this episode, we will learn about the younger son, who says, "I want my share now." His journey is marked by self-centeredness and immediate gratification. Similarly, the older brother, bitter and resentful, declares, "You owe me." Both represent lost paths. The episode culminates with the profound message of the Gospel: where sin abounds, grace abounds even more; grace is found when we humbly confess our unworthiness, and with the Father, there is always a place back home.

In this inspiring episode, we journey through the profound concept of grace, exploring how it stands as a powerful game-changer in our lives. The episode opens by highlighting the common struggle of many: misunderstanding or underestimating God's grace. In a world that celebrates achievement and merit, grace often feels too good to be true, leaving us hesitant to accept it. The core problem is our varied ways of relating to God, either dismissing grace as unattainable or trying to earn it through our own efforts. The episode goes on to explain that grace is free to receive, offering an essential lifeline in our imperfections. The heart of the episode centers on the parable of the prodigal son. Three key insights into the father's grace are unveiled: The Father's Grace Was Waiting: The father's love and compassion were unwavering, even when his son was a long way off. The Father's Grace Was Immediate: The father didn't hesitate to embrace his son and celebrate his return. The Father's Grace Was Costly: A feast was prepared, illustrating the richness of God's grace. Listeners are encouraged to avoid dismissing grace as unattainable or trying to earn it through their actions. Tim Keller's quote underscores that God's grace is a free gift that we can never be too bad to receive nor too good to earn. The episode beautifully articulates that grace transcends our imperfections. It reveals that through Jesus and His sacrifice, we can freely receive God's grace. A transformative story is shared to illustrate this message. In conclusion, the episode emphasizes that God's grace is both costly and free, and it awaits everyone, ready to change lives. The podcast encourages listeners to embrace this priceless gift, emphasizing that God's grace is "more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope."
