#impact Podcast is a true labour of love. Here are some of our proudest moments that remind us that we’ve come a long way already. Those moments give us the energy to keep going.
Things we are proud of.
- Making it into Apple Podcasts New and Noteworthy! That’s HUGE for every Podcast, especially an independent production like ours that is not part of any big network.
- Finding out that a volunteer at Crossroads was inspired to work with them after listening to our interview with Crossroad’s DJ Begbie
- Doing our first LIVE Podcast recording in front of an audience. And there’s more coming in the future (Get on our newsletter to get the invite!)
- Making it into the Apple Top 10 charts (HK/career) – we are planning to be here to stay 🙂
- Encouraging Green Queen, Hong Kong’s prime address for all things green and healthy living, to launch A Zero Waste Journey Podcast
- When Regina was featured by Hong Kong Tatler as one of the 10 Women shaping Hong Kong for the better. So grateful for every media mention we receive.
- Reading these most lovely testimonials from listeners as well as people we worked with.
- Getting our very first sponsor on board for Season 3 – Thank you
Retykle – forever grateful for your support and believing in us! - Receiving Clean the World Asia’s support as we aired Season 3 + 4! They keep inspiring us with their mission to protect the environment and save millions of lives by leading a global hygiene revolution every single day!
- Being contacted by Highschool students and invited us to share our vision with them and their classmates.
- When Regina got to share her idea “The magic of listening” on a TEDx stage! Regina’s talk even got turned into a TED-Ed lesson! Ted-Ed is an award-winning education platform that serves millions of teachers and students around the world.
- A listener reaching out to us after the episode on Encouraging women and girls into team sports had just been aired for 2 hours and wanted to find out how she could get involved with the organisation that was featured.
- Hearing how happy one of our first #impact Club members was about winning one of the goodies and sending us her voice message to share why that price was so meaningful to her. Hear all about it towards the end of this episode.
- Seeing the community of our featured guests starting to connect and support each other in our internal Season 4 Whats App Group.
- When Regina got to interview her
Mum for a feature on the show.
- Bringing in co-hosts recording for #impact all over the globe, sharing stories from Cambodia, Germany and South Korea. There’s more to come in #impact Season 5 that highlights Sustainable Development Goals with our co-hosts and producers based in Hong Kong, Sydney, Berlin, New York and Honolulu.
- Encouraging, empowering and guiding our Season 4 Charity Beneficiary’s KELY Support Group as they launched their own Podcast This Hong Kong Life, now already in its’ third Season highlighting Mental Health issues.
- Seeing the first graduates of our #impact Podcasting Online Course & Mentorship Programme launching their own shows with impact, addressing topics from sustainability, to resilience, from #blacklivesmatter to female empowerment and so much more.
- Most importantly, seeing the resilience of all the purpose-driven organsiations (Non-profits, charities, social enterprises) we had the privilege to feature over the last few years, as they continue to drive change no matter what challenge they face.
We’d love to encourage all of you today to take a moment and think of at least 5 things you are proud of achieving with your work recently.
Just take a few minutes to acknowledge these milestones along the way. Sometimes we get too busy with our day to day stuff that we forget (We sure do!) that every little step is a step forward on our journey to make a difference in this world.
So reward yourself with taking a moment today and do just that. Celebrate yourself. Write these 5 things down. Read them out loud. You’ve made it this far and there are many more exciting things ahead.
