TRANSCRIPT

Liz: Hi everyone. I'm proud to say this is my 50th episode. I've been podcasting since May of 2018. In that time I've spoken with dozens of fascinating people and asked them questions about how they pursued their passions; how they put one foot in front of the other to dance or climb or play or learn.

In all of my conversations my guests mention a point when they realize, "Wow, I got this. I'm doing what I set out to do, what I always dreamed of doing." I don't have to do things the way it's always been done. I can experiment. I can step out of my comfort zone and it feels wonderful.

In this upcoming series we're going to explore some new territory-- like underwater caves. We'll take another look at the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I'll ask an expert about how to spot Disinformation and a dear friend about learning to play blues harp. I'll interview a medal-winning athlete who didn't start running until she was 57. And learn about something I've personally always wanted to do, that is play a Theremin, from a world class virtuoso and teacher.

My purpose in all of this is to bring you inspiring stories that remind you live your dreams. They are not out of reach. They are easier than you think to achieve.

My dream is to make an impact with this podcast. It has been a joy to create and refine. If you listen to the early episodes please forgive the technical flaws. I've learned a lot since then and I hope it shows. If you're just joining me now I hope you will check out the back catalog. There's some great content there.

Based on your feedback, I'm also striving to make myself more visible, or I guess present is more appropriate in this medium.  I'll talk more about my impressions of the guests and what I take away from the conversations. As always, I'd love to hear what you think as well. Am I succeeding in my purpose of inspiring you? You tell me.

Podcasting brings together many of my interests-- learning new things, talking to cool people, and of course tech geek stuff. I thoroughly enjoy the process and I do it for love. However, I am not averse to receiving support. Please feel free to show your appreciation at Patreon.com/alwayswanted.

I hope you enjoy the new season of I Always Wanted To. I'm Liz Sumner, reminding you to be bold, and thanks for listening.
