Lessons Covid-19 has forced us to learn that will make us all better humans!

09/10/20 • 49 min

I’ve had this episode ready to go for many weeks but I wanted to fine-tune each of the lessons and be very strategic with how I approached them and give detailed examples and actions we can learn from each.

So hopefully you are in for a longer episode and if you have the pause and come back later I 100% understand that but I FIRMLY BELIEVE that EVERYONE can get something from this episode and hope it will be a favorite episode of yours...

The 6 lessons I breakdown in this episode:

Everyone has Influence & Power:
Everyone can create video but it isn’t as easy as it looks
When everything is Virtual is anything Virtual
What really matters shines bright when we pause not unplug
Transparency & Vulnerability are Non-Negotiable
WE are MORE ALIKE than we are DIFFERENT

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”

― Benjamin Franklin

It's been 168 days

Live #Podcast Recording of #FOMOFanz the Brian Fanzo show Multistreaming and sponsored by Restream.IO https://restream.io/?ref=PGOMW

FOMOFanz began as a selfish content creation method for me. I was already hosting two interview shows, and running two twitter chats, and I had reached a point of live streaming just to live stream was no longer in my brand strategy. But I knew I needed something that would keep me in the live streaming game, but I didn't want to manage another podcast or live show with guests and other people's calendars...

So I thought what if I did a solo podcast and could record whenever I want and talk about whatever I want... GENIUS!

Since it's launching, the name has changed from F.O.M.O.Fanz to FOMOFanz to FOMO Fanz and the mission statement went from "Helping you embrace your fear of missing out" to "Helping you cure your fear of missing out." In typical form for content I create, I had a broad "niche" that I would attempt to squeeze into. Still, quickly after 5 episodes, I realized as the CEO of Team No Niche that it was just silly. I would talk about a wide range of topics and bring the conversation back to help understand the changing future...

After launching an interview podcast called "Press The Damn Button" I was presented with the question of what I should do with this podcast. Should I merge it within FOMOFanz or keep it separate. Press The Damn Button is modeled after my favorite podcast Arm Chair Expert by Dax Shepard. He does a great job of having a mix of content with interviews, live shows, and "expert on expert" that live within Armchair expert but also have separate feeds.

Before, I decided what I was going to do with FOMOFanz March 2020 hit. Then after attempting to record two episodes and not feeling it for the first time in the 4+ years of the show, I realized anything with the concept of "fear" in it while dealing with a pandemic isn't appropriate. This was also the perfect excuse/valid reason to pause FOMOFanz and move forward with Press The Damn Button. Enter August 2020, 5 months after the pause.

I was fielding lots of comments about if the show would come back, and many of 2019 episodes were getting some fantastic downloads still.

So 168 days after pausing the show, it's been renamed, rebranded, and remodeled once again to FOMOFanz:

The Bran Fanzo Podcast.

And as I reflect back on the 1,370 days since launching FOMOFanz, I'm genuinely thankful for each and every listener that has given me their time. Allowed me to share my thoughts. Allowed me to use this podcast to rant. Allowed me to vent and in many cases, use this show as my own self-therapy. I'm genuinely thankful for each of you and excited for what is next!

Talking about what we've been told not too!

It's time we talk about the things we grew up being told we shouldn't talk about as not talking about it doesn't make it go away rather it just makes it more isolating and disconnected! I promise you this will be 30 minutes well worth your time as it's time we shift our mindset and open our perspective! I cover each of these tips on the show as well:

Recognize that anxiety is normal and its ok to not be ok and being ok with that is a step in the right direction
Identify the good distractions not by do they push you forward or back but rather what do we do that provides us relief
Own what you can & can’t control by tracking your desired end result with what needs to happen for that to occur.
Don’t let others determine how you want to connect while also being creative with how you allows others to connect to you
Self-love is not selfish it’s necessary in you becoming your best self which will help you help others
Own your feelings, giving yourself time to feel and own that feeling will empower you to gain clarity in the moment and in the future feel better faster
Give yourself a break and manage your expectations
Be kind to others and embrace the role lifting up others has on you as the kindness both giving and receiving can be often times all we need to move forward
