Welcome and thanks for supporting Jarred and this new Podcast project!
THE PREMISE
Jarred's life is a disaster. Jarred has reached the point of cumulative failure across almost every dimension: career, work, property, money, love, relationships, family, and children, to list a few. If there is one thing that Jarred is good at, it's failure!
But Jarred is still hopeful and is seeking to turn this all around while there is still a chance.
With the help of friends, experts and strangers, Jarred will seek insights on how to shift from disaster to "success". The intention is for a seriously funny, light-hearted exploration that offers redemption, transformation and hope.
This project centred on the host's self-deprecating humour about their life failures and disasters will offer a unique blend of entertainment and relatability. By openly sharing their missteps with wit and honesty, the host creates a space where listeners can find comfort in the shared human experience of imperfection. This emphasis on our shared humanity fosters a sense of belonging and unity, providing a refreshing counter-narrative to the often curated, success-driven stories that dominate media. The podcast can become a source of laughter and solace, reminding listeners that it's okay to stumble and that humour can be found even in the most challenging moments.
Listeners and viewers will be encouraged to seek professional help if required, e.g. mental health.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE LISTENER/VIEWER
The podcast offers a comforting space for listeners and viewers who feel like their own lives are in disarray. Jarred's open and honest discussions about their own life challenges might be a source of solace. Hearing Jarred candidly share their own disasters may make others realise they are not alone in their experiences, which can be incredibly comforting. Moreover, as Jarred reflects on their own situation, he often discovers that many others face even greater hardships, helping Jarred - and, in turn, the audience - gain perspective and appreciate the positives in their own lives.
Through insightful conversations with guests, the podcast also offers listeners a fresh perspective on "failure." Rather than accepting the conventional view of failure as a negative outcome, these discussions encourage rethinking what it means to "fail." Listeners may see that what society often labels failure could be a wake-up call to make genuine, committed changes. Rather than see "failure" as a stepping stone, a learning experience, or even disguised success, repeating patterns may need serious rethinking and change. This broader understanding can inspire and empower them to embrace their journey of change, resilience and hope.
ROLE OF THE GUEST
Jarred will ask guests questions focusing on different aspects of Jarred's person, situation and advice they can offer.
Guests are welcome to share their own life"failures" or disasters, but this is optional and only if you wish to disclose your own personal experiences.
The types of questions that Jarred may ask and seek advice on:
Do you like my hair? Should I change it?
Should I have a better facial care routine?
What do you think of my body?
Is my voice annoying?
Is my face strange?
Guests are encouraged to be open and honest in their critique!
Guests will also be asked about advice and insights they have around:
career/work
money/finances
family relationships
love and intimate relationships
friendships
happiness in life
Guests will also be encouraged to share their beliefs around defining what life failure and success mean for them.
Guests are welcome to plug their own projects, businesses, and events!
NEXT STEPS
If you have any questions or concerns, please let Jarred know.
Jarred will send you a standard Podcast Guest release form to review and confirm participation if you are keen and consent to be part of this mad project.
We will schedule a time and date for an interview online or in person.
Welcome aboard!!!
