What does it take to conduct over 6,000 interviews? Adam Torres reveals his extraordinary journey from finance professional to media mogul, sharing the vulnerable truth that he began as "the world's worst podcaster." So terrified of judgment, he didn't even use his real name when starting out.
Torres takes us behind the curtain of his transformation, explaining how he systematically studied the broadcasting legends—from vaudeville to modern media—discovering they all shared one thing: each had conducted over 30,000 interviews in their careers. This insight led him to map out his own path to interview mastery, not through natural talent, but through determined consistency.
The conversation shifts dramatically when Torres shares how God has guided his career through unexpected signs—from a flooded office destroying his financial certifications to the profound legacy created when his mother passed away in a tornado. Having interviewed her multiple times on his show, those recordings became priceless treasures that future generations will hear.
For aspiring content creators, Torres offers a powerful reframe on audience metrics: "If one person spends an hour with your podcast, they're giving you their life—that's all anyone has that actually matters." He predicts a future with over a billion podcasts, not as competition but as necessary for humanity's progress.
Whether you're considering starting a podcast or seeking to overcome fear in pursuing your purpose, this conversation will inspire you to "get in the game" and understand the true value of consistency over time. The world needs your voice, your story, and your unique platform to help others tell theirs.
If you're searching for your own purpose or trying to understand how your past experiences might be shaping your future calling, this episode will inspire you to look at your pain through a new lens and consider how it might be guiding you toward your most meaningful work.
