After attending the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference (#MAPcon) September 9-10 in Swedsboro New Jersey, I left with an arsenal or information. One such term I learned of was the “Pivot.” The other Authenticity.

Anthony Hayes Me Myself and I Radio

We all come to a point in our lives when change is inevitable. For whatever the circumstances, you must adapt your current situation to meet the obstacles at hand. As I approach 3 years (December 2016) since experimenting with a podcast of my own, I realized a much needed pivot is in order.
Every episode I recorded was a learning experience in the many aspects of the audio broadcasting world known as podcasting. This newly learned craft included things such as, but not limited to, technology, marketing and most importantly a better sense of self. I don’t have hundreds of episodes or tens of thousands of listeners. However for those I do mean a lot to me and the evolutionary process at hand is quite evident.
After much deliberation and internal conflict I looked to those around me for advice. Namely my community, the Podcast Discovery Center. I began the PDC as we call it, with fellow podcaster and entrepreneur Scott “the prodigy” Doucet.
I could have thrown in the towel and given up on myself and everything I’ve created thus far. There was only one problem with that. I am a firm believer that we all were put in this universe for a reason. Knowing that, if wasn’t meant to start podcast I would have never become a Podcaster.

I am a Podcaster; not because I want to be, but because I was meant to be.

As time went on, I found myself at times unable to produce hard hitting content. Something I had begun to believe was the only “acceptable” to podcast. I had forgotten how I started in the first place…having no expectations at all. Just me, a headset and my Spreaker mobile studio application.

September 30th is International Podcast Day. The day my Pilot episode will drop. Yes, it is a legitimate recognized day to bring awareness and spread the word about the audio medium know as Podcasting. 

So I have weighed my options, time, and resources regarding the future of Me Myself and I Radio-A Self Discovery Podcast hosted by yours truly Anthony Hayes. I have decided to NOT pull the plug, NOR start from scratch but rather press on just as my message suggests. “KEEP ON FLOWING…”

I have no clue what the future holds, but that’s kinda the point of Self Discovery…you encounter new endeavors and obstacles each and everyday.

My First Podcast Conference #MAPcon 2016

September 9th and 10th 2016, I will be attending my very first Conference for Podcasting–Mid Atlantic Podcast Conference or MAPcon. This event is the second of its kind since founded by its creator, entrepreneur, and Podcaster–Joe Pardo. Joe hosts a show called the Dreamers Podcast and has garnished close to 1 million listens in the 246 episodes.

A little over two years ago, I introduced myself to Mr. Pardo as I was a regular listener to his podcast. He reached out and immediately made me feel welcome in his tribe. 

It was at that time I had just started a podcast. As of December I will have been podcasting 3 years, and what a journey it has been. Joes show, Dreamers Podcast had a clear vision with stellar guests from all walks of life, quite the opposite of my own. 

When Joe was writing his first book 31 Life Changing Concepts I was eager to get my hands on a copy. I was given access to the book prior to its release and asked to give some feedback for which I gladly did. 

At that time, I was putting together my own book The Science of Being (due out September 2016). While reading Joe’s story, I picked up on some minor discrepancies with the grammar and punctuation. At this point, the book was meer days away from being published. I  emailed Joe some constructive criticism and he graciously accepted my input (I know my writing is FAR from perfect). 

Some weeks later Joe mailed me a copy of the book. To my surprise printed in the book: 

Co-Editor: Anthony Hayes

I was floored and honored to say the least. When Joe visited Florida with his wife we met up for dinner. We’ve since become great friends and talk weekly if not daily. I even had Joe redesigned my entire website! 

Well off to the conference I go…

The Science of Being

A journey; A way of life

Please Visit memyselfandiradio.com

Go on a journey with me through the trials, tribulations, and moments of enlightenment I experienced in my early to mid 20s with “The Science of Being.”

Everyone has their story but I would like to share mine with you and one day, the world. It gets a bit dark along the way but we will get through it together. I am the product of a divorced marriage but lead a great childhood nonetheless.

However, in 2004 a switch went off in my head that would forever change me and what I was to become. I’ve fought battles of depression, self medicating, divorce, and always came out to be victorious. It is with a sense of enlightenment I now possess that I was able to organize my journey on paper.

I’m not trying to sell a message, I’m trying to deliver it. After several working titles “The Science of Being” is in its final stages. With your help and contribution I will be able to share my story with others having similar struggles. Together we can show them the purest light even in the most crimson of skies. The Science of being is a way of life. It’s about flowing and traversing through your obstacles no matter how vast they seem. In the end the universe has a path for all. If you enjoyed the work of Elizabeth Wurtzel’s “Prozac Nation” you will enjoy my story. Lizzy is a great inspiration of mine and her memoir was the final push I needed to get this done. Her story was so compelling, so honest.
