Introduction to the Host Scott Ferguson
Now we get to hear from Scott as he pumps us up to live our best lives. I am so excited to talk to Scott Ferguson. He is the host of the time to shine today, podcast and holy cow, he has so much energy. It’s gonna be an awesome conversation. First of all, Scott, can you introduce.
Hey, I am Scott Ferguson and I’m located in South Florida and there’s no place on the earth that I’d rather be than right here talking to you, Andi.
Beginnings of Time to Shine Today
I started my podcast for a super Uber, duper selfish reason for me. I’m an executive coach, lifestyle optimization artist. I work with really high end, uh, clients from CEO executives, people that are, uh, actors, actresses, and people on the cover of people magazine, uh, professional athletes and whatnot.
And I’m always coaching what to level up. And a lot of times when I’d reach out to coaches or therapists or consultants, just to pick their brain, they never had time. But when I invited ’em on a podcast, Like, heck yeah, man, I’m gonna come on and. And have a conversation I really did as a selfish endeavor.
And then I started putting out the content. I’ve been building a list, um, since 2009, for time to shine today, uh, to help people level up their life. We don’t wanna have anyone to feel like they have no one. Um, so basically they started listening to it like, oh, I’d really like to meet that coach or possibly have that coach hire that.
So I was like, wait a minute, man. I’m onto something here. And that was December 2019 that I launched it. And the awesome COVID Corona. I don’t know if you heard about that thing, but this pandemic is going on for two years. Well, COVID happened and it was, uh, the best thing that ever happened to me for podcasting because everybody had time to come on.
No matter what level you are. So that’s what really launched is a really selfish endeavor. And then, you know, I come from a go giver background where I like to give, give, give until it hurts. So good. Right. And basically I was like, man, I can give awesome content out to the squad of listeners, which I call my varsity squad.
And, they just really took to it and love it. And just, you know, we are blowing away some great numbers and we do a lot of special things for our guests.
What People Can Expect from the Time To Shine Today Podcast
When I built my podcast, I tried to do it right. And I built kind of an avatar of a listener. You know, my avatar’s like three pages long. I literally typed it out and, and just read it and just kind of went through it and said, okay, this is my avatar of a listener. Someone’s getting in their car.
They might be a little lost, you know, there’s going to work punching the clock, water cooler time, two hour lunches, but they’re feeling like there’s just not where they need to. Um, those are my listeners. Those are my squad. Those are the people that I want to help level up and take to the level or, you know, the next level for them, whether it’s up a corporate ladder or if they wanna side to side hustle or whatnot, I wanna be like a, I will be, I am a OneStop shop, kind of be able to put people in need with the right.
And just be a connector. So that’s really my, the, the premise of that. That’s awesome. I love that, you know exactly who you’re talking to and I feel like the people that listen probably feel really seen because of that. Okay. So would you describe the vibe of your show? It’s really down and , Hey, we’re, we’re leveled up, man.
And it’s like, it’s funny. I’ve interviewed, introverts, you know, and, um, you know, I do, I don’t try to push them out of comfort zones or anything like that, but I, I really have ’em stretch it to the point where they’re talking and then we get off of the mic and we’re down recording, like Fergie, man, you really like are like, you got me to do stuff.
And I’m like, you know, I know why. Cause I’m an introvert. Believe it or not. I’m an introvert. You know, so it’s like, people don’t think, but my vibe is I want to help people so much. I wanna plant trees that I will never sit in the shade of. And the only way that I can do that I feel is by bringing an energy that is gonna make people that are driving to work whole hum doll, drums, you know, really level up.
So that’s our vibe. It’s not fake because I love what I do so I can bring that out. But it’s, it’s just so much.
Scott’s Favorite Time to Shine to Today Episodes
You know, I have The Dreamers Succeed podcast with Berta Medina, who dropped some serious knowledge nuggets as we call it time shine today.
Uh, Chris Christopher Didian, um, you know, we’ve had bigger guests, like Bob Berg, the author of The Go Giver or Randy G a huge motivational speaker. You know that the squad love, but I don’t really have that many favorites cuz I treat each one. Like they’re my own creation, if you will.
Time to Shine Today & Little Ears
I really strongly recommend my guests, stay away from the explicit, but some of them do, but when they do, I put it right in the show notes, I put it right on the top of the webpage.
I mark it on my host, you know, podcast. I’ve only had a couple that just went out the rails, but it was expected from them just because that’s how they bring it on stage. And I want ’em to keep it real and authentic, but probably 92% is absolutely good for little ears.
Podcasting Today
If you are looking to get into podcasting, there’s only a million or so podcasts out there, you think that’s a lot, but when there’s billions of blogs, you know, and then you say, oh, a million isn’t bad.
And if you’re really looking at it in the podcasting out of that million, only 11% are active podcasts. The rest of ’em are really what we call zombie podcasts. So if you’re out there and you look to launch a podcast, um, listen to ones like Andi’s and hopefully mine to really pick up steps and know how to get things done.
And you know, if you need help, you know, like my good friend, Leah Woodford says, get your asking in gear and I’d be happy to answer any questions about the lunch and a podcast. If you need to.
