Curious With Calvin Wayman

Are creatives born, or made?    How do you find your passion? Is that even “a thing?”    How do you get yourself to go do the things you want to do? How do you face the fear?    This and more is the conversation today with Tyler Babin (@Babin) on the podcast.   If you’re curious about creativity and finding your mark on the world, this is for you.    #StayCurious

This conversation, ROCKS!   If you think you know all the ins-and-outs of YouTube, think again!   From a business standpoint, it’s CRAZY the stuff you can do.   On today’s show, I’m talking with two YouTube ninjas, Aaron Biblow and Triston Goodwin, and we go deep in several areas of what you can do with the platform.   If you have a business you’re looking to grow, or just love YouTube, this is an episode for you. Enjoy!   #StayCurious  

Stuck happens.    It’s just the truth.    And what’s true, is I’m feeling that right now.   On this Fan Question Friday episode, I just hit “record” before I even know what I want to talk about.   What that leaves is just pure, brutal, honesty of where things are at.   I usually don’t do episodes like this, but I wanted to share it because it’s real. I hope someone else going through changes in their life sees that they’re not alone.    #StayCurious  

Question: what’s the most challenging thing you’ve (deliberately) done to push yourself?   Is it signing up for an insanely difficult race you never thought you would do?    Is it starting a business?    Or perhaps it’s joining a fitness competition, just to see how it changes you?   Well on today’s show, that’s what Elishia Ortiz did. She started competing 2 years ago, and it’s wild the benefits that challenging herself has had in her life.   Life is about finding your limits, but then pushing against them. And you’ll never know the gold nuggets that wait for you on the other side of breaking through.   Enjoy the convo!   #StayCurious

Wow. What a fun conversation!   If you’re new to entrepreneurship, or want to be your own boss, then conversation is a MUST LISTEN.   I’m speaking with Nicola Hill.   She talks about how she went from a freelancer, to getting her businesses acquired TWICE.   The best part is how she talks about growing her business is something ANYONE can do, as long as they have a Facebook account. AND, it’s all done ORGANICALLY.   It’s a ton of fun. Enjoy the show! :)   #StayCurious

Elon Musk—we know him as the billionaire entrepreneur for SpaceX, Tesla, Solar City, and more.   But have you ever pulled the layers back to uncover details about this guy?    I’ve been geeking out on Elon Musk, and on today’s Fan Question Friday, I’m going to share 7 unknown facts about Elon Musk that you probably haven’t heard of before.    #JoinIn! And #StayCurious

Is happiness possible without religion?    When you’re from a super religious environment, transitioning out of it can be a super painful experience. You end up leaving something that’s the only thing you’ve ever known.   But, for anyone who’s been thing the struggle after a while, knows that there can become a brighter side.    On today’s show, I’m talking with Navy Seal and keynote speaker Joost Janssen, and we have a super intimate and candid conversation at his house about faith, life and happiness.   It was a ton of fun. I hope you enjoy. 

Minor secret reveal:   I’ve been playing with stand up comedy.   Yes. I’ve been getting up in front of the room and seeing if I can get people to giggle.   “But Calvin! How can you do that, you’re not very funny!”   Hush. That is besides the point.   You won’t see it anywhere else on social media because it’s quite early, and it’s just “my” thing—just something I’m trying.   I’m a speaker, so I like things that keep me sharp. Besides, I love the challenge of it all. (Even if it sometimes does feel like you’re getting kicked in the goods.)   Another friend of mine who’s been hitting the comedy scene heavy over this past year is Bryce Prescott. In fact, he just had his first headlining spot!   On today’s show, I’m at his house and we have a SUUUPER rad conversation. It’s not just about comedy, but how the challenge of it translates into other areas of self-development. I think you’ll dig it.   #TuneIn and #StayCurious

One of the number one habits high achievers wish to build: getting up early.   One of the most difficult habits to build consistently: getting up early.   On today’s Fan Question Friday, I’m going to share 3 habit hacks to getting up early in the morning, each and every time.   Do you have any tricks that help you wake up and stay awake?   #StayCurious

How do you start growing your business when you’re brand new?   What do you do when you hit a plateau?   How do you break the barrier between six- and seven figures?   Well look no further! Because the conversation today with Bobby Stocks is full of GOLD!   If you’re a new entrepreneur or someone who’s been doing well but looking to crack that next level, I believe this is an episode that can make it happen.   Today’s episode is why I believe it pays to #StayCurious

Life isn’t always easy.   And if you’re someone who is looking to make your mark on the world, that task can feel very daunting.   What’s something that can help give us the power to push through when things get tough?   What can give us the inspiration and support to make our impact?   One word: tribe.   The people you hang with matters. On today’s show, Brittany Michalchuk and I are talking about the importance of getting around the right kinds of people and how it can impact our levels of success.   #StayCurious

So you listen to podcasts. It’s one of your favorite things to do. You can listen while you’re at the gym, on a drive, or sometimes even at work.   They’re awesome!   But…have you ever thought of starting one of your own?   Many people have, and they wonder what it would take to get it going?   Well on today’s show, I’m going to share how starting a podcast is much easier than you might think. I’ll share the 3 steps (and 2 bonus steps) to getting it going.   This isn’t going to be the complicated strategy stuff that bogs people down, or how to do your branding or hit the top of iTunes. This is just a simple conversation on the actual technical things needed to have a show.   #StayCurious  

In 2013, a small town called Lyons Colorado experienced flooding that people there had never seen before.   8 people were killed, and many people lost their homes and everything else in it.   One of those people was Marissa Casey—who was woken by her mom in the middle of the night because their house was flooding.   On today’s show, I’m talking with Marissa and sharing her perspective of the entire experience. Her viewpoint might surprise you.   If you’ve ever had a major struggle in life, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.   #StayCurious

We all have a story to tell.   And it’s in the uncovering of that story that can feel you and impact others.   But telling your story for the first time can be intimidating.   How do you actually go about getting started?

That’s a wrap!   We just barely finished our 3 months in Phoenix. Here are some final thoughts.

Addiction.   It something that affects many of us one way or another.   Even if we aren’t the person who experiences addiction, chances are we know someone who’s been affected by in.   Addiction is something Michael Dash is no stranger to—and something he’s now opening up about in his brand new book called Chasing The High (now on pre-order!)   In today’s episode, we’re going to talk everything addiction, and also what people can do to break free from it’s grasp. It’s gonna be a rad convo. Enjoy!   #StayCurious

What do the 5% have that many do not have at a high level?   It’s two things.   The right resources, and the right relationships.
