The First Podcast

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Oct 22, 2025.

This year, I'll admit, I've been lagging behind. The regular updates on my social media and those planned posts about my life and my company's journey – somehow, they all slipped through the cracks as 2025 rushed by. But today, I'm choosing to break the silence and share one of the absolute highlights of my year.

A dream come true doesn't always appear as you imagine it. It doesn't have to be big, and sometimes, it looks like an unexpected invitation – to the podcast "What's in the Title?" by my dear friend Diana Kazaniecki. What made it special wasn't just sharing my story, but being among the very first guests on her show.

We dove into what it's like to run a remote microagency, pulling back the curtain on a business run between continents and time zones. Beyond that, Diana nudged me to share insights about the life of a so-called digital nomad. Truth be told, I rarely use that label, and my circle of close friends isn't packed with globe-trotting nomads. My journey has been shaped by the environment, life circumstances, and simply practical decisions. But also, by the desire to see more of the world while doing what I love.

Podcasts have been a companion for me since I was around eighteen. They've helped me pick up languages and explore faraway cultures long before I could afford the flights. Even today, they're a bridge to people I admire and topics that challenge me to grow. So, sitting in the guest chair this time felt surreal, the culmination of years spent as a listener, now given a voice.

Will I start my own podcast one day? Maybe. But that's not at the top of my wishlist right now. For now, I find genuine gratitude and happiness in having been part of Diana’s podcasting journey, sharing a slice of my own story, and hopefully inspiring someone out there to keep learning, dreaming, and taking steps towards their dreams.

Diana interviews people of very interesting backgrounds and life callings, so make sure to check out all the episodes of her podcast here: What's in the Title? by Diana Kazaniecki.

Once again, thank you, Diana, for making me part of your podcasting journey!
