Welcome to Personal Development mastery podcast episode 283. Today's a very special episode, because it's the podcasts third birthday. In February 2020, I launched personal development mastery. And today I want to use this opportunity to reminisce a little bit. So many things have happened. So many things have changed over these last three years that I have been recording. This podcast has changed, I have changed, you have changed, the whole world has changed. So three years and episodes ago in February 2020. It all started like this:

1:12  
...Welcome to the personal development master brand new weekly podcast. I'm your host Agi Keramidas. And my mission is to inspire you to rise up grow, stand out and move towards the next level of your life towards the best version of yourself. Join me each week with a fresh new episode every Monday morning. So you can start your week with inspiration, knowledge and growth.

1:40  
When the podcast started, it was weekly so every Monday morning, this was the intention to start the week with inspiration, knowledge and growth. Not long afterwards. So only a couple of months down the line. I found myself because of the lockdowns in 2020, having more time. And I decided to do two episodes a week, which then remained as that the podcast for me at that time it started as a joyous exploration. It was fueled by the curiosity there the freshness of doing something a new little did I know at that time, that it would transform into a real passion, and eventually into a mission. their creativity, their self expression, their connections, their communication, the networking, the farm, the opportunities, knowledge, the inspiration, the contribution, the growth, the personal development, mastery. These are only some words that come to mind describing the journey these last three years. And let's go back to that opening first episode where I discussed my intention with personal development mastery.

3:10  
...I will be interviewing leaders and influencers, successful entrepreneurs, authors, exceptional people who can and will inspire you to improve your life. This is not just about passing knowledge. They will be sharing their journey, their major aha moments, their milestones, their failures, and the lessons for you to learn, grow and get inspired to take action and have the courage to pursue your dreams.

3:43  
Learn, grow and get inspired to take action and have the courage to pursue your dreams. It's fascinating that I said that three years ago and it still resonates with me 100%. And this is still my intention for you, my dear listener, to become inspired to take action and to have the courage to pursue your dreams rather than stay in this quiet desperation that many people remain living in unfulfilling life. And I'm hoping that this podcast is the catalyst for that action for that transformation for that growth change progress. Coming back to that opening first episode, here's how it concluded.

4:46  
...I'm really excited to have you here listening to the podcast, and I'm really looking forward to personal development mastery. Thank you very much for listening. I hope you enjoy this podcast!

5:02  
I am grateful that you listen and enjoy the podcast. Three years down the line 283 episodes, over 60,000 downloads in 136 countries. Wow. I'm honoured and blessed. Thank you for listening. My intention for this time next year is that we will have the fourth birthday of the podcast together. And who knows, maybe it's going to be a live episode. And I'm looking forward to working with you the journey to personal development, the journey to self mastery the journey to growing and expanding.

5:48  
I will finish off today's episode with something very useful that I have been working on. And I will announce it properly next week next Thursday. For now what I will say is that in these 280 Plus episodes that I have done, there is so much wisdom. But here's the thing, you don't have the time to listen to all of them. No one does. It's so overwhelming. We are drowning in information and starving and wisdom and part of what I do as a knowledge broker is to convert this vastness of knowledge and distil it into wisdom. So I have chosen for you the top 10 podcast episodes that offer the greatest value in three main categories in your life. I have selected the top 10 podcast episodes on abundance, mindset, money prosperity. Then I selected the top 10 podcast episodes on health and wellness, which is one of the foundations. And finally, I selected the top 10 podcast episodes on mastering your personal development. So next Thursday, I will share that resource with you it's going to be a free resource for you to download or view online. And it will be a cataloger curated index have those top 10 podcast episodes that will offer the greatest value and you will be able to listen to specifically the ones that you want to learn about without overwhelming yourself trying to look through a catalogue of 280 previous episodes and that will let you know all the details next week.
