Curious With Calvin Wayman

What medium catches more American’s attention than anything?   Magazines? Nope.   TV? Nope.   If you guessed audio, you’d be right.   There is a rise in audio.   And including AM/FM Radio, podcasting, and Alexa skills, an estimated 9 out of 10 Americans are listening to audio.   Today, I bring on the Chief Marketing Officer of iHeart Radio. I connected with her after she spoke at SXSW this year in Austin TX, and I just had to bring her on the show to talk about the star of the union around audio.   It’s a super interesting conversion. Enjoy :)   #StayCurious  

What if you could go back in time and give advice to your younger self on something you broke through? What would it be?   A major thing I’ve focused on in the past several months is health and fitness.   When I started my weight loss journey, I knew what I wanted, but I didn’t really know where to go or what to focus on.   What would I tell my younger self who is about to embark on this journey?   In this episode, I share the 10 things I would tell myself. I hope it helps you on your journey as well.   #StayCurious

What can you do to build your personal brand online?   That’s exactly what Caloni Michelle and I talk about on today episode.   Enjoy the show! :)  

Human beings are creative creatures.   Sometimes though, it can be difficult to feel like ourselves personally are creative.   It’s easy to compare ourselves with other creative types, and then mistakingly think they were just born with it, or that we couldn’t get to that level.   Nothing could be further from the truth.   As someone who has sucked in the beginning at virtually everything I’ve ever tried in life at first, and then getting recognized for my creative work (whether in my book, my YouTube Show, podcast, or speaking),   I know that becoming a world class creator is possible.   That’s the conversation Sean Cannell and I just had.   We talked about how to hone your skill as a creator, particularly in video.   The conversation was deep, and fresh!   The best part?   We recorded the whole thing for you. Yup! It’s today’s show on the podcast.   Pop on your favorite sneakers, pop in your airbuds, and join the conversation. :)   #StayCurious  

Our human bodies are pretty amazing. We can do things we probably would have never dreamed of.   Running in a 50-mile race was that for me.   Yes, 50 miles—that’s two marathons in a row.   But there’s part of my 50-mile journey some people don’t know—that I was actually pulled from the race.   Yep.   Pulled. “DFN’d” as they call it. Did not finish. Disqualified.   But if that happened, did I still run 50 miles? And how is that possible?   I share all those details in today’s show, and why it ended up being the most empowering part of my 50-mile journey.   Whatever major thing you’re tackling in your life right now, I hope this will help you realize you’re more badass than you give yourself credit for.   #StayCurious

Happiness in life is heavily linked to healthiness.   But health isn’t just physical.   In fact, an emerging conversation in health and happiness is mental health.   Anxiety and depression is something many of us deal with at different times of our lives.   But it shouldn’t be something that is viewed as shameful, and certainly not something we should feel compelled to tackle alone.   In today’s show, I bring on Kelly Ruta—a psychotherapist turned mindset expert—and we begin the conversation around mental health.   This is an important conversation, and one I hope to continue on to deeper with the show. Enjoy!   #StayCurious  

You probably never would have thought an episode could get more diverse, and more epic.   In today’s longform show, TJ Reeves and I have a very transparent conversation—discussing everything from masturbation and how it might be linked to depression in men, the power of the mind, and what it means to discover absolute truth.   When I started this podcast, it was for conversations just like this one. You won’t find another unfiltered, unedited, candid conversation like this one anywhere else.   If you’re a fan of the real and raw (not to mention useful), this episode is for you. I imagine today’s show is going to be one that gets the most messages to date.   Grab your coffee. Or suit of for your gym time. This is a long one, and worth every minute. Enjoy!   #StayCurious  

Human beings are naturally creative.   We all have million dollar ideas—sometimes several of them even before we get out of the shower in the morning.   What can we do to get more of them off the ground, and much sooner than you might think is possible?   That’s what I talk about in this episode. I share something that Lewis Howes taught me in August 2015 that change my life forever.   If you’ve ever gotten stuck with getting one of your products, services, or projects off the ground, this episode is for you.   #StayCurious

Here’s something I know for sure:   Life is not always sunshine and rainbows.   Sometimes we get smacked in the face.   In fact, this is something that probably instead talked about enough.   Too often, we only see the success. We don’t see the adversity.   That’s why I’m so pumped to bring on today’s guest, Kolby Kay.   I met Kolby and an event we both spoke at several weeks back.   When I saw him speak I was like, “yaaaas!” He wasn’t just flashing the Lamborghinis and money.   He was just telling it like it is, speaking real and raw.   If you’ve ever been through a tough time, I think you’ll like this episode.   #StayCurious  

If you follow me on the podcast or on social media, chances are you’re like me—you’re a “crazy one.”   You’re someone who is actually crazy enough to believe that you can change the world.   That might lead you into being a creator, or an entrepreneur.   And that’s great! Pursuing your calling is not only noble, but courageous.   After getting started the question becomes, “now what?”   How do you grow whatever you’ve started?   How do you take it from one level to the next level?   Whether that’s taking your idea to execution, or your “pretty okay” business to something scalable, how do you actually go about do that?   If this dilemma sounds familiar, than I couldn’t think of a better way to start your week than with today’s conversation with my man Chris Duncan.   Here’s the main theme of the conversation: what got you here won’t get you there.   Grab your coffee, and let’s dive in!   #StayCurious  

It’s no secret, you are the average of the 5 people you associate with most.   But if you’re looking to level up your circle, how do you go about doing that?   How do you found your amazing circle?   The answer: attend events.   In today’s episode of Fan Question Friday, I share four of my all-time favorite events that every entrepreneur should attend.   I hope you can use this episode to up level your circle, and your life.   #StayCurious   (PS., if you’re an established entrepreneur do you agree with this list? Are there any you would add to this list?)

Have you ever listened to a good podcast show that after a while got pretty boring?   It wasn’t the host’s fault, or the guest’s fault. It was just the same old structure over and over.   Well, today’s show is NOT that.   My friend Bryce and I have a conversation that is completely real, raw, and unscripted—and we recorded the whole thing for you.   Let’s just say, we go “ball deep” in this episode (no I did not miss the “s” on the word “ball”—inside joke that only listeners on the podcast will get ;) )   Anyways, today’s show reflects why I’m falling more, and more in love with what I get to do.   This conversation is a blast! Join in :)   #StayCurious

Simply put, my friend Michelle Lewis is awesome!!   If you’re looking for a one convo to start your week, grab some coffee, or put on your kicks for a run, and join Michelle and I as we discuss all-important topics like:   Yanny or Laurel? And is “the dress” white and gold or blue and black? ;)   In all seriousness, we also ask questions like what is entrepreneurship really like? How do you break through tougher times and setbacks? How do you create the life you want?   We just have a blast, and we hope you’ll join us. Come on in to the convo, and add your two cents. :)   #StayCurious  

What’s intermittent fasting? How do I use it to stay healthy? This short show is about just that. :)  

In May this year, I was invited to speak at the first podcast only event I’ve ever attended.   It was hosted by this guy, Ever Gonzalez.   The thing I love about today’s conversation is Ever left the corporate world, started his own company, sold it, and is now living the life that he designed.   Whether it’s getting to connect with amazing people for his podcast, hosting events, coaching his kids’ soccer games, or travel with his family, it’s on his terms. He’s living the outlier life.   I hope you enjoy today’s show :)  

Are you getting done what deep down you know needs to get done?   I’m not talking about a to-do list.   I’m talking about the deepest calling of your soul.   Are you caught in the whirlwind of life, or are you purposefully progressing towards your life’s mission?   Well in today’s show, Geoff Woods is in the house.   If you’re looking to gain clarity on what you’re meant to do, you’re in the right place.   It’s no accident you’re seeing this. Put on your headphones and even if you’re walking, “buckle up.” This is a good one.   #StayCurious  

It’s it possible to go from a night owl to a morning person?   If you’re used to sleeping in, is it possible to switch to getting up at 6:00a, or even as early as 4:30a?   Those are questions I asked myself, and I was committed to figure it out.   On this episode of Fan Question Friday, I share what I’ve done to get myself to finally crack the code.   For years, I would sleep in til 9:00 or even 10:00. Now, I get up at 4:30am. :)   Whatever the time is that you want to get up, I hope today’s show will help you crush your target.   When you win the morning, you win the day.   #StayCurious :)

Several months ago, I was on a very exploratory path.   I knew big changes were coming in my life—not only in business, but also with deciding to remove myself from the fundamentalist religion I was in for the first 30 years of my life.   That’s when I bumped into Regan Hillyer. She was speaking at an event we were both attending, and we found ourselves at the back of the room discussion how our outer world is governed by our internal world.   From that conversation, several fears I had around “facing” my internal world just melted away. It led me on a journey to Costa Rica and beyond, which even ultimately led me to starting this podcast.   The conversation Regan and I have is so needed! This kind of talk isn’t discussed enough in the world of achievement. I hope you enjoy the show :)  

This guy is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. It’s fascinating to see!   There’s a chance you’ve eaten at one of his restaurants, or you’ve seen him somewhere on daytime TV.   Or you probably seen him on the hit TV series Top Chef.   Introducing the one and only, Fabio Viviani.   This guy’s story is insane. You’ve got to hear where he’s come from, and what he’s conquered.   On this episode, I speak with Fabio about what keeps him going, how he gets primed for the day, and how he crushes major goals.   He also just barely launched a new social media app called Dopple!  Trust me, this is an episode you don’t want to miss! Enjoy!!   #StayCuriousMyFriends  

I have one main thing to say.   The best diet is not “The Dukan Diet.”   It’s nothing “keto.”   It’s not “vegan,” and it’s not whatever worked for one of your friends to lose a lot of weight.   The best diet is this: the one that YOU can follow.   On today’s show, I share what I believe is the fatal flaw with any diet you may have tried, and how I cracked it to not only lose 50 pounds, but since then (knock on wood) kept it off!   Enjoy the show :)   #StayCurious
