This podcast is hosted by the Owner/Founder of Your Speaking Voice LLC, Joshua D. Smith. Extending from the values of the business, the purpose of the podcast is to provide a focus on:
- Relationships: Personal connections are the underpinnings of creating many of the values in our lives. Without them, we are unable to provide opportunities for ourselves and potentially others.
- Confidence: Being able to overcome challenges with the knowledge and skill sets that we have help us to showcase "the best version of ourselves". We are willing to pursue our aspirations/passions by being able to see through some of the challenges that are before us, whether physically or mentally.
- Determination: Combining the formula together, being able to create the will to pursue opportunities through time, we create passions for goals that we can achieve by overcoming those events.
Each episode focuses on a variation of one of these values, with the overall mission to engage in the transformation of our "voice" in this ever changing world. Want to learn more about the business? Visit us at www.yourspeakingvoice.biz.
For over 197 episodes, our podcast covered a wide range of topics that have involved monologues and guests. Providing a wide range of different perspectives, advice, and opportunities to gain personal, professional, and business-related topics, so much has been gained. There is, however, the individual component to all of this that allows for the ultimate growth in all of these realms to combine. In today’s final monologue episode before Episode #200, the hidden door that is the potential we all seek is discussed, and how this applies to all these realms that we have covered since the very beginning.
