96: Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan (Season 2 Podcast U Shape)
 FWEP00096- Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan

Today’s special guest is Dr. John Tan. He is someone that I’ve known for 20 years as a volunteer with CARE Singapore- which is Children At Risk Empowerment. Today, Dr. John recorded two seasons of podcast shows. With his voice, his experience, his message is gonna touch and change the world and help more people to understand youth and help these youths at risk. Prevention is better than cure. 

(3:28-3:43) This is Dr. John Tan. I am the founding president of the Youth Work Association Singapore, as well as the Executive Director of Children At Risk Empowerment otherwise known as CARE Singapore.

(3:55-4:11) In Season 2 of “Every Youth Matters”, I have shared tips and strategies and ways to reach out to the young people because I have learned from my experiences and transform them into lessons.

(4:31-4:45) Season 2 was quite a journey for me. At the backend of it all, I would say I have succeeded in completing it. And despite the disruptions.

(4:47-5:18) The reason for me saying that is that we have laid up four recording days at the studio. And some of the days that we were about to record, we were interrupted to buy some renovation works that were done in the neighbors and that was a tough one because we have to time our recording around their renovation and it end up in a day where we could not record at all.

(5:21-5:32) The four days that were set aside we completed in actually 3 days minusing of that one day that was disrupted.

(5:33-5:36) So what then has taught me is that it’s possible.

(5:42-6:02) And this is particularly meaningful to me because it just reminds me that despite challenges we can overcome. As one of my favorite mentors, coaches like this, “Our problems may be tough, but remember we are always tougher.”

(6:04-6:06) I’ve managed to complete Season 2

(6:10-6:25) despite having a very busy schedule of presenting workshops and writing materials and training people. And all of that I’m so glad that I was able to accomplish

(6:27-6:41) Something that i wanted to do for quite a long bit and it has further embedded my legacy. And it has further given me the materials that are ready recorded down.

(6:44-7:05) A great sense of accomplishment that I have finished Season 2. And I’m also very very glad to be working with my new podcast coach Janet Aisyah and she has been a great help being beside me and giving me pointers.

(7:15-7:31) I believe that as the Season progress we have little episodes actually getting into a better rhythm and I think it’s all kudos to my podcast coach Janet Quek.

(7:41-7:58) There were some objections, there were some obstacles in the preparation. Well I’ve finished Season 1 and had already mixed some sort of loose plans to record Season 2.

PANDEMIC

(8:00-8:10) Along came the pandemic, The CoronaVirus Pandemic, and that meant we had to make all kinds of adjustments.  

(8:18-8:27) We can plan for the timing but we could not control it and so it came at a time where I had to contemplate

(8:29-8:31) doing this whole Season online.

(8:41-8:53) This was a challenge particularly during city breakout lockdown where we couldn’t go anywhere, we couldn’t get things delivered and all of that. So it was a big challenge.

(9:02-9:13) When face to face came in, and it meant that we could move about, there was the potential possibility of going to the studio to record it.

(9:16-9:22) Then there’s a big but because the “but” came from the wife who was concerned for me going out.

(9:24-9:28) Maybe when exposing myself into the community.

(9:31-9:39) That was slowly overcome by explaining to her the steps involved, what we were doing and all that.

(9:54-10:06) Moving into the studio and booking that 4 days that we could do the recording. So it was a learning process bit by bit.

(10:18-10:21)  I have to choose the number of episodes.

(10:24-10:28) I had more material than I needed for this Season. 

(10:31-10:37) The next point coming soon, will there be a Season 3? That’s a possibility. But before that.

(10:39-10:46) I had to then choose and decide the materials that I wanted to, to keep it concise to keep the rhythm going on, not to drag.

(10:53-11:13) When you got into a rhythm then I got into a pattern. I got to be able to know how to kind of demarket. How much material goes into each episode. Right, so that’s a learning point for me as well. And which then leads to, “Will there be a Season 3?” well it is highly possible.

(11:34-11:47) In the process of working, the mind gets stood up. The mind gets launched into new areas. So now in my mind I can almost see Season 3 forming.

(12:03-12:06) Going to it by conclusion for these whole Season 2

(12:09-12:13) My feelings has been something of a great accomplishment.

(12:15-12:24) because as part of my plan to leave a legacy of my lessons learned, I have embedded it further.

(12:34-12:43)  Meaning that I have forever archived my materials into resources that can benefit more people.

(12:45-12:51) I’m really really thankful and grateful to the team, instantpodcastleader.com

(12:53-13:10) And if you really really have a need or urge to have your voice heard and listened to, and like me living a legacy then I strongly encourage you to sign up for the program.

(13:16-13:23) When we raise our voices together, the words become more than just a phrase. 

(13:26) It becomes a movement and that our dreams are valid.

(13:36) That on your path, you are never denied. And you can be directed but you need to let your voice be heard.
