  • Summary

  • Originally from Southern California and hailing from Austin, Texas, “It’s a Mel Thing” is a podcast about experiencing major life changes as a young adult and the travels we experience along the way. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes serious, I invite guests of all ages and backgrounds to share their stories, revelations, and common themes we tend to face in life.

We all know there are technical aspects to starting a podcast, but what about maintaining your why and concept? How does the mission evolve and what insights I gained from asking for constructive feedback. Season 1 of IAMT ends here, but I’ll be back after a personal season of traveling with hopefully, new experiences and new guests!
