Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Martin Flores, the owner of Amplify Studio, a podcast production company. I share my podcasting journey, including why I started After Reality as a new mom craving something entertaining and relatable to listen to while caring for my newborn. I talk about the early struggles of building the show and the game-changing help Martin provided along the way.

Martin opens up about his career path, from working with the Phoenix Suns to taking the leap into entrepreneurship and launching his video podcast production company. We explore the challenges and rewards of podcasting, the importance of having a clear “why,” and how that purpose drives success. Martin also shares his experience juggling parenting while switching careers and how he managed to stay grounded during such a pivotal time.

We dive into the challenges and rewards of podcasting, offer advice for aspiring podcasters, and discuss how AI is shaping the industry. On a more personal note, we chat about work-life balance, building a legacy, and what drives us. To wrap things up, Martin tackles some fun rapid-fire questions.
