Hi there, my name is Rob Kaiser, and I'd like to welcome you to the All Around Growth Podcast. First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to listen to this introductory episode. During this brief episode, I'm going to explain why I believe this podcast is worth your time. We live in a world where a lot of content is being created. With podcasts alone, there are currently over 1 million shows as of September 2020. There are over 30 million episodes in more than 100 different languages throughout the world. Yet here we are, connecting with one another right here, right now. So why exactly are we connecting? What is it that draws us here together? Maybe you're looking for something you have yet to find, or perhaps you're experiencing some significant transition in your life. You may be unhappy with your day job, or perhaps you even recently got laid off. Maybe you're trying to improve and grow certain relationships in your life, or perhaps you're interested in volunteering or working within your community. Maybe there's an underlying or chronic health issue that impacts your daily life. Or perhaps you're simply looking to improve your health and well-being. Most likely it's a combination of any or maybe even all of those reasons. The bottom line is that we are both interested in personal growth and development. We are both interested in all-around growth. The purpose of this podcast is to share personal experiences of my own all-around growth. Life, business, and spiritual growth through the lens and perspective of your host, Rob Kaiser. So who am I? To be brief and to the point, I've come to describe myself in the year 2020 as follows. I am a systems-oriented thinker. I am a writer, a horticulturalist, a dreamer. I am an epilepsy warrior, and now I am a podcaster. Based on my life experience to date, I've gone through a fair amount of transition in life. Working and living throughout the country has provided me with a variety of life experience. To balance the variety and transition, there's always been some consistencies in my life. From the age of 13, I've been dealing with a chronic neurological condition known as epilepsy. From the age of 19, I've worked in the green industry, largely within the world of horticulture. For most of my adult life, I've earned a living by working outdoors and working with plants. But most importantly, I've had a strong and supportive network of family and friends by my side. And that's what this is about. Finding a strong and supportive network as we navigate uncharted waters in this life. Some of us may not have grown up with a strong and supportive network. And we are here to be exactly that for one another. We are the community that we've been seeking. Look, sometimes life is hard. You don't have to go it alone. Let's do this and let's grow together. Over the past 10 years, podcasts have been an integral part of my own all-around growth. My primary objective with this podcast is to give back what was so freely given to me. I plan on sharing thoughts, experiences, interviews, and more to assist you on your journey. We're going to discuss finding our passion and learning how to live the life of our dreams. We've got a community that's already working on doing exactly that. And I'd like to invite you to join us. In the next episode, we'll talk about the history of the show and what's in store for the future. All you need to do is subscribe to the podcast and your favorite podcast player. Again, thank you for listening and being a part of the All Around Growth Podcast. I look forward to seeing you in the next episode.
