Overview
How do you start a podcast that’s about making a podcast?
For us (Jake, Ryan and Fin), we ‘start’ this podcast almost a year into a what-should-we-make-a-podcast-about? journey. This “episode 1” is actually episode 14, recorded only once we found our proverbial North Star and were able to articulate--for ourselves and listeners--what this show was going to be about.
So what’s it about?
In the end, we found that our podcast wasn’t about making a podcast at all; this podcast became about meeting people outside of our typical ‘circle’, asking them thoughtful questions and listening intently to the answers, and finding out that everyone has a gripping story if you’re willing to hear it.
We hope you enjoy listening to our journey of learning all of this through talking to some incredibly interesting normal people.
Who are we exactly?
Jake Smeester is a husband and father who spends his days as a content creator at AWS building out new programs for worldwide sales enablement (including gobs of podcasts).
Ryan Findley is a husband and father who spends his days running the product team at Learn to Win.
Ryan Holdeman is neither a husband nor a father. He spends his days helping personal growth businesses leverage technology.
Join us as we explore.

In this first episode we didn’t touch on book recommendations, but in our interviews, we ask guests for recommendations. You’ll see those here. A favorite of Ryan Holdeman:
Life in Half a Second: A great book about making things with haste that will last beyond you
