So, What Has Changed? Introducing the new Mitzi Jane Media Podcast

So, What Has Changed?

It was a pandemic that created a paradigm shift that rocked our world. The repercussions, however, varied for each person and each business. Some were forced to close their doors. Some discovered new ways to pivot. Some thrived and grew. In each scenario, something drastic changed, and with each change, we have something to learn.

"So, What Has Changed?" is both the theme question and the title for the brand new podcast by Mitzi Jane Media, a podcast that explores local perspectives on a global shift.

Every ripple matters.

Every life impact has value.

We're all in this together, so let's talk. Let's learn from each other and help each other grow. Let's connect and exchange stories. No two are the same, and every one of them has a purpose.

"... podcasting has experienced explosive growth ..."

"Entrepreneurship tends to flourish during downturns ..."

"... it forced so many people to change their day-to-day routines and encouraged them to try new things ... "

"Being outdoors, our visitor numbers have almost doubled in the last year."

"It's a different kind of travel now. The drive destinations have just skyrocketed."

"A lot of people had to lay staff off ..."

"I would say that's the number one thing that has changed with business owners: how they find, how they attract, and how they hire staff for their companies." 

These are a glimpse in the first series of "So, What Has Changed?"

Mitzi's story...

In February 2020, I had just opened my very first Mitzi Jane Media physical office in Homewood, AL. The future was bright.

There were talks of a virus in China. However, like everyone else, I thought it would not affect the US. A month later, while waiting for my "to go" order at my favorite restaurant near my office, I notice breaking news on the TV in the bar area. ESPN reported that NBA games and major golf tournaments were being canceled.

I knew then that we were dealing with more than a pandemic. This was a paradigm shift in both culture and thinking. Almost 18 months later, we are still dealing with issues that may never be the same.

The change was enough that we cannot go back to the way thing were. It's more than just a "new normal". We have experienced a global paradigm shift that spans to every country.

This podcast explores this global paradigm shift from the vantage point of local business owners and leaders. These are people who I trust and go to for wisdom. The guests on our show tell what has changed and continues to change from their industry perspective and unique position.

My hopes are that these interviews and stories will help other business owners and community leaders better prepare for the future.

Please listen, leave a review, and then share the podcast with people in your life who would value from it.

Special thanks!

I'm thankful for Natalie Cone who encouraged me to step out and do the podcast. Without her, this podcast would not be possible. 

I'm thankful for my first few guests, Dr. Patrick Murphy, Tynette Lynch, Jason Stinson, Mike Kozlik, and Selena Harrison, who trusted me with their stories before they even heard the first episode.

I'm thankful for my husband, Shane, who listened to all my incessant contemplating of paradigm shifts and talking about the future. 

I'm honored to lend my voice to this project so that others can have a voice to express the process of their changes and their paradigm shift story.

Enjoy these first episodes....
