I bought 4 buckets of rocks
|
Yesterday I found myself standing in someone’s muddy yard, in the rain, picking up buckets of rocks I bought off Facebook Marketplace. Five bucks a bucket. I got four. Was it glamorous? Absolutely not. But here’s the thing—my partner and I are planning to build a pond in our yard this spring. And these rocks? They’re part of the foundation. If someone saw me out there today, they probably thought, “What is this guy doing?” But I wasn’t just buying rocks—I was preparing for something bigger. Podcasting is a lot like that. It’s not always shiny. It’s not always Instagram-worthy. Sometimes it’s just slogging through the early days, gathering pieces, and trusting that what you’re building will be worth it. The foundation work always looks messier than the final product. So if you’re in a season of planning, prepping, or stacking metaphorical buckets of rocks—keep going. You’re building something beautiful, even if no one else sees it yet. Your pond is coming. I can help. All you have to do is ask. —Harry 'Welcome to the Rocks' Duran |

Wednesday, I shared the story of a recent inspiring guest on my show. There was an another episode early in my Podcast Junkies journey that also still sticks with me—and not in a good way.

I kept thinking, “Okay, maybe I’ll jump in after this next point…” but that point never came. When I played the recording back, I cringed. Not because the guest was bad—honestly, they...
I’ve recorded a lot of interviews over the years—some inspiring, some fun, some forgettable. But every now and then, an episode hits different. One guest in particular cracked something open in me. It wasn’t just their story—it was the way they told it. The honesty. The energy. The unexpected clarity that came from that conversation stuck with me long after we hit “stop.” It changed the way I prep. It changed how I listen. It changed how I show up to the mic. We often think about the value...
It’s 11:10 as I write this email. I just realized that I hadn’t sent my daily email. You know, the one I’ve been sending since January of this year. And for a micro-second I thought, “oh well, I’ll just start again tomorrow.” Oh, hellllzzz no. Which is why I’m pecking this out on my iPhone. Consistency is good. Commitment is better.
