Lift U Up: Inspiring Health Stories is Celebrating International Podcast Day!

September 30th, 2021 is the 7th annual International Podcast Day — a day when all of us podcasters (and podcast lovers) can celebrate the power of podcasts! Here’s a quick highlight of our video podcast, Lift U Up: Inspiring Health Stories, and inspiring guests over the last year and a half since we launched. The guests on this show inspire me, just as much as I hope they inspire and motivate you to live healthier and happier.

As a lover and sharer of impactful, long-format stories, I naturally gravitate towards podcasts. It’s an in-depth format that is totally different from what I was used to during my days in local TV news, where we were usually limited to 1 minute and 15 seconds to tell our story of the day.

Wait. What??? YES…1:15 and sometimes even less to tell a complete story!

Do you know how much valuable content and information I had to leave out of stories to make my time? Sometimes it killed me. I hated having to make that cut. BUT when it comes to podcasts — it’s a whole new ballgame. We have time. Time to develop the story. Time to dive deep with my guest. Time to truly connect. To me, that is the value of podcasts — people give you their time, our most valuable asset.
