The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin
The Toastmasters Podcast is like a radio talk show featuring interviews with Toastmasters usually featured in the Toastmaster magazine. The purpose of the podcast is to amplify the magazine - to dig deeper or to put a voice to a face or written wordBut unlike a radio show, a podcast is on the Internet, and available, for free, to anyone in the world with an Internet connection, and a connected device capable of playing audio. 250+ episodes are at ToastmastersPodcast.comThe Toastmasters Podcast is co-produced by Toastmasters International and Archieboy Holdings, LLC, for our global audience of Toastmasters and those interested in public speaking and leadership.
[27:25] Take the power of Toastmasters, combine it with the power of podcasting, apply it to Cristóbal Colón and you get one individual whose life has been transformed. In this episode we hear about an incredible journey how Cristóbal took his passion for both and transformed himself from quiet engineer to podcast host. He shares about how and why he started the podcast, and how living through Puerto Rico's Hurricane Maria factored into his decision to finally start his podcast.
Cristóbal also enlightens us about how Toastmasters has helped in on this journey and how podcasting has improved his skills and how certain aspects help improve those skills and more.
You'd never know by listening that Cristóbal was once a shy introverted man who at one time felt invisible.
