I had the opportunity to interview a podcasting legend for Forward From 50 a few weeks ago.
Cliff Ravenscraft taught me and 40,000 other people how to start podcasts of their own. He is a very well recognized expert in the art of pocasting.
However, while I was interviewing Cliff, he was interviewing me, too, and turned that conversation in Episode 804 of the Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
According to Cliff, “The conversation became a powerful reflection on identity, ambition, reinvention and what it means to step fully into the work you were made to do.”
He told me his story from transitioning away from the family business, which was selling insurance, to devote his full attention to his growing hobby of podcasting.
He became known as The Podcast Answer Man and put his skills into developing his flagship course called Podcasting A to Z. Cliff ventured away from what he called his “zone of excellence,” which was helping people launch podcasts, to give him time to enter his “zone of genius,” which was helping successful entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level.
Now in his early 50s, Cliff is pivoting back to his initial calling with more clarity and alignment than he enjoyed in the past.
He notes on his website that his return as the Podcast Answer Man is not nostalgic return to the past. Rather, it is a strategic move made possible by new tools, better leverage and a deeper understanding of how I serve people best.
Like Cliff said, the first 50 years of his life were preparation for what he is doing now.
