1 Year of Podcasting: the Challenges, the Victories, and the Lessons

What does it takes to begin and do something that allows you to achieve a thing that you’re passionate about? How helpful podcast is in our present time in different fields?

It has been said that “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” A lot of individuals can relate to this matter. Because in this life, we have our own goals and ideas we hope to come true but things will not be going to happen if we stay on our chairs and wait for them to manifest. We all have to stretch our abilities and take the first step. Allowing ourselves to encounter difficulties, pressures, and hardships while we strive for the aim.

In this solo episode, Dr. Derrick Burgess is here to share with us how his journey in this TimeOut with the Sports Dr. Podcast had started. Telling us a glimpse of its birth, present status, and the things that it looks forward on the years ahead.

 “Consistency is showing up when I don't feel like it. Showing up when I don't want to sit behind the microphone and talk just by myself but learning how to do that is a part of the process.” 

– Dr. Derrick Burgess
