What is ‘Connection Catalyst Podcast’
A podcast series that explores wellness through humor and empathetic conversation. Episodes feature interviews, storytelling, and open dialogues focused on motivational topics and advocacy for racial and social justice.
Why I am pursuing this project (My why)
- I am a ‘Relationship Builder’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
- I’m super into relationship advice and making spaces look cool, plus I rock at making people laugh and feel understood. I’ve decided to use these skills to be a motivational speaker, using humor and connection to promote wellness. My goal is to make people feel better while standing up for racial and social justice..
My plan of action: Competitions and Activities
Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) to join:
TSA – Technology Student Association fosters leadership, project-based learning, and innovative thinking, providing a strong foundation for projects that integrate technology and communication.
FBLA – Future Business Leaders of America develops business acumen, public speaking, and leadership skills, aligning with the student’s advocate business potential and passion for motivational speaking.
Competitions
This introductory competition directly aligns with the Connection Catalyst Podcast by emphasizing audio production, storytelling, and digital media skills essential for crafting engaging podcast episodes.
FBLA – FBLA Business Communication
This introductory competition builds foundational business communication skills, which are vital for promoting the podcast, engaging with audiences, and conveying professional messages effectively.
This competition, while typically introductory, can be leveraged as an advanced challenge by developing custom digital tools or apps that support the podcast’s production and distribution, enhancing technical proficiency.
As an advanced competition, this event challenges students to develop a comprehensive business plan, which is key to structuring and scaling the Connection Catalyst Podcast into a sustainable venture.
Community Service:
Community Digital Storytelling Workshop
Why it fits: This community service activity leverages the media and communication skills developed through competitions to engage local youth and community members in storytelling, directly resonating with the podcast’s core mission.
Implementation: Plan and execute a series of workshops at a local community center in zip code 30088. Organize sessions on digital media production, storytelling techniques, and podcasting basics, culminating in a community event where participants share their stories.
Skills Development: Digital media production, public speaking, community engagement, and leadership
