I would like to start this episode by thanking the sponsor who is on the
other side of the microphone this week. Next to me is the podcast Pioneers
for Life, which focuses on people who stand out for being pioneers in technology
and how it can help people. For this program have already been invited as
the presenter of here the earth, Jakov Petrus, the expert of the artificial
intelligence, Christina Aranda, Dr. Sergio Habanades, the well- known meteorologist
Mario Picazo or the scientific divulgator Luis Quevedo knows people who will inspire us because
they have managed to go ahead in conversations on board the latest models, such
as the BOLB C forty or the new X thirty Volvo presents Pioneers for Life,
a podcast by Juan Ortega produced by José Antonio Gelado for Adio FM,
the new digital radio of bad discontent without ads. Last day twenty- eight
I ran for the second time a half marathon in my life and during the
last good workouts, but prepare now I tell you, let me give you
here to the intro button and together pass us to the other side of the
microphone. We welcome you across the microphone. On the other side of the
microphone. A project by Jorge Marín Nieto in which you will find your daily
ration of metapodcasting, casting with news, events, tools or episodes of opinion
in just ten minutes. Ten minutes, ten minutes. Welcome and welcome to
the other side of the microphone, as every day for a new analysis about
the current situation, the tools, events, curiosities, personal experiences and everything
that has to do with the podcasting that surrounds me. I am Jorge Marín
and as every day, in just ten fifteen minutes, I want to talk
to you about each of these aspects related to already I say the podcasting that
surrounds me, either as listener, creator, producer, editor. Anyway,
I' m so into any of these areas that I' m often on
one side or the other of the microphone or podcasting. On the 28th of
April I ran for a time in my life a half marathon twenty- one
kilometers and ninety- seven meters. And, well, if you' ll
allow me a little personal experience, this time I enjoyed it. I enjoyed
them. The first time was an experience a little more suffered, although I
ended up fulfilling it, but I suffered a little more from a knee,
because hey it was the first time I was at this distance. I was
faced with forgiveness at this distance and he ended up paying a little bit at
the end of the race. Actually, I already told you about her.
Just a year ago, when I finished that race, I swore and perjured
that I was not going to go back to a half- marton for what
I had suffered and seven days later I took my dorsal to run it.
A year later. Last year' s was the 23rd of April, two
thousand and twenty- three. This year' s was the twenty- eighth
of April, two thousand and twenty- three. I' m talking about
the Rock and Roll Zurich Series Madrid race, which offers marathon distances, half
marathon and ten kilometers and the truth is that it' s a wagon,
it' s an amazing wagon. See that I am fond of running,
very but very amateur and I go to half rhythm, quiet, but you
enjoy enormously for the atmosphere, for how the city of Madrid and all its
inhabitants turn with this race. And then, after all, it' s
this race. Let' s say it' s the colophon, it'
s the prize for every month of training, and many of you I'
m saying. But what does this have to do with the podcast, what
are you telling me and if you' re talking about Ranning and this isn
' t a podcast about Ranning. And no, but during the last workouts
for this half marathon, the last weekends, the previous ones, for a
month, a month and a half, the long throw, which is one
of the workouts you have to do once a week, which is getting longer
and longer, because they will be quite long. It was an hour and
three, fourth, two hours, two hours and fourth every Sunday. I
had to go for a run during those hours and, logically, put on
a lot of podcasts. But the head at the end, because it gives
you time to think and rethink and I took advantage of the last long runs
before the race to go around giving you some thoughts about what the topic of
the news letter podcasting would be now in writing or forgiveness podcasting in writing that
I premiered a couple of months ago and spinning around and what I heard about
this month in the news lette, because they are subjects that I was taught
by podcasting and how I was training, as I was running, the truth
that I started to think about how I had affected the fact of running and
training a half marathon at the time of podcasting but when the time came I
realized that I had not been the other way around podcasting, I had taught
myself to run a half marathon. And I' m not talking about the
many podcasts I' ve heard about running or running or about preparing marathons or
half marathons, which are also about commitment, constancy and the consequences of dedicating
yourself to something and committing yourself to something, fulfilling that constancy and waiting for
those consequences, something I' ve learned thanks to podcasting, which has brought
me so many good things and which I was doing with running now. As
I was telling you, running a half marathon or a marathon seems to be
a long- suffering thing, but for those who aim for those races,
running the race itself is the prize. And after many months of training,
notice that I' m already saying I' m super amateur. I am
not here giving lessons to anything or anyone, nor is it my intention.
I' m just talking about my experience. But when you' ve been
giving up for something for one, two, three, six months and finally
that great day comes, you live it with real joy when you' re
finally competing, when finally good competing, competing, maybe it' s not
the word, because I, in my case, didn' t compete with
petiac good, yes, with myself, you compete with yourself to see if
you' re able to fulfill or whether it' s a better time,
a distance. In the end it' s a joy and that' s
what I compared to podcasting. To me, podcasting has taught me that if
I acquire a commitment, that if I have a record, in the end
there are consequences. And I set the example in the Newsletted that when I
created on my first podcast, because podcast, I committed myself to the audience
that every day, fifteen of every month I was going to take out a
new episode. And so I was for more than ten years that commitment and
that record of publishing new episodes each month of that podcast, because in the
end I came to an even greater commitment to podcasting, either with other podcast
events, or with other podcasts, to the point that when I launched an
even greater commitment, called to the other side of the microphone, I made
another commitment with another record, which was the fact of quitting smoking the fact
of recording a daily podcast. I had made a commitment to my audience to,
on the one hand, prepare content daily and, on the other hand,
quit smoking and gradually through a daily podcast and another daily and daily podcast.
In the end, this metapodcast, among many other things, made it
possible for me to quit my job and continue to have clients who would assure
me a monthly bill so that I could continue to live comfortably. In fact,
I continue to work for the previous company where I worked before to have,
for example, the support of multitude of patrons when I relaunched the Sponda
and Madrid by means of one but two Croffundings. That is to say,
it has to do with this constancy, with that commitment and with the community
of Pontda and Madrid I had enjoyed my constancy and my commitment for many years
ago. When I announced the return, the people wanted to sign up because
of that commitment, that constancy, that fidelity that I had shown towards the
Potney Madrid event, they wanted me to return. And there people were supporting,
like many of you support this metapodcast, sharing it with virtual cafes or
rewards of any other kind or when you hire me with ob producer. That
is the same thing, those consequences that I say, is the same as
I feel when I face one of these races, which I have been preparing
for months and months and months and months and months and finally come great day
that many of you will say my mother. But how can the big day
come? If you' re going to have to run twenty- one miles
or forty- two kilometers in case we talk about a marathon, how can
that be the big day? Yes, believe me that when you have been
training hard to participate in one of these competitions, you arrive that day and
finally collect, collect the rewards or collect the consequences of all those months of
training. And, like with these races, usually, when it' s
already a race of at least ten kilometers, there is a point of habitulation
where there are always volunteers who give you a glass of water or give you
something to eat if the race is quite longer or demanding, or a gell
if you need it, a little reflex there are volunteers who go empatines to
continue supporting you and that you can continue that race. And that' s
what I thought every time I picked up or here I got excited every time
I picked up one of these little cups of water. Half marathon. I
was just stopping to thank the people who gave me those little glasses of water
and it' s not just funny. I thanked him for his work,
I thanked him for his work, and they usually stayed a little in shock
because the vast majority of runners, especially the more professional, are less valuable
to him. There are some who don' t even separate from how quickly
they want to meet their goals. They don' t thank the person who
' s giving you a glass of water. Like me, I appreciate every
time you leave me a comment that you support me with a coffee, that
you help me follow an episode more or a kilometer more. That constancy and
that commitment is equally rewarded thanks to these little water pots, thanks to these
supports in the CROFON, in the Crofonding, thanks to these virtual cafes,
thanks to those little hearts, thanks to these votes in the polls each week.
I do see a lot, a lot of relationship, at least how
I take podcasting to those races I won' t say ultra distance or much
less, but good already considerable distances. Or I remember when I faced my
first five- kilometer race, I had to stop three times to catch air
because I wasn' t ready and because it was the first time I was
facing the first ten- kilometer race, I only stopped once to drink water
in one of these routines and believe me that I was crossing my gaze with
that person who gave me a glass of water, because it wasn' t
just the water cup, it was the fact of the excuse to stop and
tell me calmly. You still have half the race left. Take strength,
because there is a long way to go and this is, indeed, the
same as many do when a new season begins or when I go for the
middle of the season and you leave a comment. Hey, keep it up.
Jorge goes on, I like what you do. Keep going Follow these
little pigeons in the middle of the season. And when one finishes a project
in the form of a podcast, either for a client or independently eye and
finally crosses that finish line, finally and delivers the work and finally charges it
or not, Or he is rewarded with the personal satisfaction of delivering it as
I did in the race that said that I, at first run and start
r or r R or rnsercicio, but in the end it is a confrontation
with myself, one how to say it, a personal challenge that last year
did not know if I was going to be able to fulfill or not,
and that this year not only I have fulfilled it, but I have improved
it, because with a podcast the same thing happens. I first posed the
fact in my first podcast, the fact that I am going to see if
I am able to record every month in this metapodcast I will see if I
am able to quit smoking and I have been fulfilling it goal after goal other
goal and season after season in this metapodcast I put a few minimum figures and
I am getting them and getting them and getting them, and that is what
I want you to learn with this little choice that I have allowed myself the
luxury of writing in the news letter and to comment on in this episode.
I think the best thing you can do with your podcasts at the beginning of
the season or at the beginning of your project is to set yourself some goals.
Hey, I want to get to this point. Hey, I want
to achieve this science. Hey I want to get to interview this person or
talk to x people or analyze a series, or learn how to run or
learn how to take care of myself or disconnect, because I need time.
For me, whatever the objective is, but on the basis of compromise,
on the basis of consistency, there are consequences. And this reflection, which
has earned me the news letter during the last trainings of last April and late
March, has also served me for this episode and I hope that it will
serve you as well. You can subscribe to this newsletter in which I reflect
