In January 2023 I signed up to Ship30for30, a digital writing course by Dickie Bush & Nicholas Cole.
Why Now?
Having been a podcaster since 2014, my focus has been my voice. I didn't have to worry about writing, because I
something clicked last year at that reshaped by focus. While I continue grateful to the hundreds of client for whom we launched shows my agency, I definitely don't want to stagnate and always want to be improving myself. While
I've always been a decent writer, I've come to appreciate the specific skillset that is writing for a digital audience.
I'm the type of person that thrives with the proper accountability and after watching the experience of friends that have gone through this cohort, I knew this group would be the conduit for leveling up my writing game.
3 Ways This Course Will Change My Life
1. Help me coherently articulate spiritual ideas and concepts in a way that invites people to look more closely at their own lives
2. Share the lessons learned from 8+ years of podcast production and marketing to podcasters new and old, in the hopes of inspiring them to start their own show and find their voice.
3. Share my journey of continuous improvement as I look to deepen my relationship to journaling, mediation, intentions, learning & finding flow.
Over the next 30 days I plan to write about podcasting, spirituality, and self-development.
I invite you to join me on this writing journey and hope it educates, inspires and motivates you to connect with the higher version of yourself]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/1c560d07-7956-447b-a2df-2fe8ece4c648/CWzPrSo28q_yMc3SY6-yPbvB.jpg</url><title>30 Day Writing Challenge - Ship30for30</title><link><![CDATA[https://30-day-writing-challenge-ship30for30.captivate.fm]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/1c560d07-7956-447b-a2df-2fe8ece4c648/CWzPrSo28q_yMc3SY6-yPbvB.jpg"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Harry Duran</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Harry Duran</itunes:author><description>This Is The Year I 10x My Writing

I was having a chat with my classmate Frank, an avid Aerosmith fan, about the fresh-ness that was Run-DMC.</p><p>You see, the remix of Walk This Way was all over MTV and it was safe to say, breaking new ground. For me, a DJ-in-the-making, growing up in New York was all about early hip hop and breakdancing (more watching and appreciating than actual windmills). Those were my earliest musical influences. What little exposure I had to rock and roll was courtesy of my brother's record collection.</p><p>So it was amazingly cool to see these hip hop pioneers blow up on the world stage. It's such and unlikely pairing and was such a huge cultural moment at the time that Geoff Edgers wrote a book about it,&nbsp;<em>Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, and the Song That Changed American Music Forever.</em></p><p>Producer Rick Rubin, an Aerosmith fan, approached Run-DMC with an idea. He wanted to take Aerosmith's classic hit "Walk This Way" and give it a fresh twist by incorporating elements of hip-hop. At first, Run-DMC was skeptical. They had never tried anything like this before and weren't sure if it would work. But the more they thought about it, the more excited they became about the possibilities.</p><p>The new version was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. The hit became one of the most played videos on MTV. The collaboration also led to a historic performance on the stage of the Live Aid concert, where the two bands performed together, an unlikely combination that was a huge success.</p><p>It's a great reminder that music knows no boundaries and that every once in a while, it's the most unlikely combinations that can lead to something truly iconic.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Walk This Way Video</a></p><p><p>Learn more about the Ship30for30 Program: <a href="https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/</a></p><p>Follow my journey on your preferred social platform!</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/HarryDuranFC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harryduranfc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/djharryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harryduran/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/@harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medium</a></p><p><a href="https://typeshare.co/harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Typeshare</a></p><h2>Listen to my other shows:</h2><p><a href="http://pcjk.es/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast Junkies</a></p><p>Conversations with my fellow podcasting community since 2014</p><p><a href="http://vfpc.st/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vertical Farming Podcast</a></p><p>Interviews with fascinating CEOs &amp; Founders of the leading vertical farming companies from around the world.</p> </p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1986, I was sitting in my desk at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, NY.

It's such and unlikely pairing and was such a huge cultural moment at the time that Geoff Edgers wrote a book about it,&nbsp;<em>Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, and the Song That Changed American Music Forever.</em></p><p>Producer Rick Rubin, an Aerosmith fan, approached Run-DMC with an idea. He wanted to take Aerosmith's classic hit "Walk This Way" and give it a fresh twist by incorporating elements of hip-hop. At first, Run-DMC was skeptical. They had never tried anything like this before and weren't sure if it would work. But the more they thought about it, the more excited they became about the possibilities.</p><p>The new version was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. The hit became one of the most played videos on MTV. The collaboration also led to a historic performance on the stage of the Live Aid concert, where the two bands performed together, an unlikely combination that was a huge success.</p><p>It's a great reminder that music knows no boundaries and that every once in a while, it's the most unlikely combinations that can lead to something truly iconic.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Walk This Way Video</a></p><p><p>Learn more about the Ship30for30 Program: <a href="https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/</a></p><p>Follow my journey on your preferred social platform!</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/HarryDuranFC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harryduranfc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/djharryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harryduran/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/@harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medium</a></p><p><a href="https://typeshare.co/harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Typeshare</a></p><h2>Listen to my other shows:</h2><p><a href="http://pcjk.es/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast Junkies</a></p><p>Conversations with my fellow podcasting community since 2014</p><p><a href="http://vfpc.st/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vertical Farming Podcast</a></p><p>Interviews with fascinating CEOs &amp; Founders of the leading vertical farming companies from around the world.</p> </p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://30-day-writing-challenge-ship30for30.captivate.fm]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">062e5992-3412-4ab2-9c84-4f081e726c24</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/b1a9c11e-d23c-482b-bb30-141c643129cc/0p1wE8AlgR1ygdY8kmSyfa3Q.jpeg"/><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harry Duran]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0600</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/31ea3b8b-4b06-4dbe-816a-6c389961255b/30DWC19-Day-19-How-The-Unlikely-Pairing-of-Aerosmith-Run-DMC-Cr.mp3" length="1719567" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>01:47</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:episode>19</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>19</podcast:episode><itunes:author>Harry Duran</itunes:author></item><item><title>Day 18: Four Things You Need (At a Minimum) To Start a Podcast - Ship30for30</title><itunes:title>Day 18: Four Things You Need (At a Minimum) To Start a Podcast - Ship30for30</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In June 2005, released iTunes 4.9, which added support for podcasts.

Here&apos;s the What &amp; Why - Ship30for30</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In the middle of 2020, it’s safe to say that a large percentage of the world was going through an existential crisis. I’ll speak for myself when I say it was a time of much introspection, as well as a broadened search for a better resources to help me find meaning in life.

Crazy, right?</p><p>I encourage all of my fellow podcasting peeps to share any other interesting stories about your podcast journey for those that may not quite understand how much fun we've all been having.

We 'let the universe handle the details'.</p><h2><strong>The Law of Detachment</strong></h2><p>Without detachment we are prisoners of helplessness, hopelessness, mundane needs, trivial concerns, quiet desperation, and seriousness. <strong>With detachment</strong>, we are free to witness the perfect solutions that spontaneously emerge from chaos.</p><h2><strong>You Are Powerful!</strong></h2><p><strong>You are not powerless.</strong> Keep in mind that the same laws that nature uses to create a forest, galaxy, star &amp; human body, can also bring about the fulfillment of your deepest desires.</p><p>I invite you to recall a book that affected you deeply or was just the right read for you at a moment in need. <strong>Everything for a reason. </strong>Like most classics, the content resonates more deeply with each subsequent read.</p><p><p>Learn more about the Ship30for30 Program: <a href="https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/</a></p><p>Follow my journey on your preferred social platform!</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/HarryDuranFC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harryduranfc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/djharryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harryduran/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/@harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medium</a></p><p><a href="https://typeshare.co/harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Typeshare</a></p><h2>Listen to my other shows:</h2><p><a href="http://pcjk.es/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast Junkies</a></p><p>Conversations with my fellow podcasting community since 2014</p><p><a href="http://vfpc.st/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vertical Farming Podcast</a></p><p>Interviews with fascinating CEOs &amp; Founders of the leading vertical farming companies from around the world.</p> </p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because it was my first.</p><p>Years ago, a good friend of mine gifted me Deepak Chopra's <a href="https://amzn.to/3W8IzND" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success</strong></a>.

We 'let the universe handle the details'.</p><h2><strong>The Law of Detachment</strong></h2><p>Without detachment we are prisoners of helplessness, hopelessness, mundane needs, trivial concerns, quiet desperation, and seriousness. <strong>With detachment</strong>, we are free to witness the perfect solutions that spontaneously emerge from chaos.</p><h2><strong>You Are Powerful!</strong></h2><p><strong>You are not powerless.</strong> Keep in mind that the same laws that nature uses to create a forest, galaxy, star &amp; human body, can also bring about the fulfillment of your deepest desires.</p><p>I invite you to recall a book that affected you deeply or was just the right read for you at a moment in need. <strong>Everything for a reason. </strong>Like most classics, the content resonates more deeply with each subsequent read.</p><p><p>Learn more about the Ship30for30 Program: <a href="https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fullcast.co/ship30for30/</a></p><p>Follow my journey on your preferred social platform!</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/HarryDuranFC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harryduranfc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/djharryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harryduran/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/@harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medium</a></p><p><a href="https://typeshare.co/harryduran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Typeshare</a></p><h2>Listen to my other shows:</h2><p><a href="http://pcjk.es/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast Junkies</a></p><p>Conversations with my fellow podcasting community since 2014</p><p><a href="http://vfpc.st/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vertical Farming Podcast</a></p><p>Interviews with fascinating CEOs &amp; Founders of the leading vertical farming companies from around the world.</p> </p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://30-day-writing-challenge-ship30for30.captivate.fm]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">ca360bbd-6899-4a7f-a5ee-07812e9aff62</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/22708263-f7e4-46dd-88fd-32831dbce773/H65jF9YKwUWw4_U1qGC1MSnW.jpeg"/><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harry Duran]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0600</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/c3fe79c6-612c-4a85-af27-a4b66295d7db/30DWC05-Day-5-This-Is-The-Best-Book-I-ve-Ever-Read-On-Spiritual.mp3" length="1966674" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>02:03</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:episode>5</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>5</podcast:episode><itunes:author>Harry Duran</itunes:author></item><item><title>Day 4: How I Got Interested In Self-Development - Ship30for30</title><itunes:title>Day 4: How I Got Interested In Self-Development - Ship30for30</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>I wouldn't call myself an expert in Self-Development; more of an eternal student.</p><p>However, I have spent over 25 years reading and learning about a wide range of topics to better myself personally and professionally.
