* Today we are joined by Damian Nesser of the Life Is A Classroom podcast (LIAC) which he co-hosts with Samuel (Sam) Gieger. Both have overcome their share of life obsticals and challenges. Sam has battled chronic depression and dyslexia while Damian has dealt with the repercussions of being born two months premature with Cerebral Palsy. He struggled in school, and he never wanted to attend college. But Damian faced those challenges head-on and not only earned his doctorate in Teacher Leadership, but he also served in the education profession for 28 years. Now, he’s a successful podcaster, Certified Life Design Coach, entrepreneur, and speaker. Sam and Damian's five-star podcast is called “Life is a Classroom,” and you’ll hear their motto ‘Learn, dream & achieve - to give back to someone who can't give back to you in your classroom life!’ at the end of each episode!

I met Sam, my cohost & tech at a Florida Middle School. We connected through his brother, Ben who worked beside me as a Dean. Sam loved the ideas 💡 & I hired him.

A: Sam & I were on another platform before our 5 Star 💫 Apple 🍎 Podcast. There, we experimented & made a few mistakes via our logo, music, format & level of consistency!
We collaborated with our Success Coach, Mitch Matthews for six months before
the first episode was launched. We ironed out several issues: Logo (ie, design, color,
background etc.), music 🎶 theme & episode format (i.e., 10-minute & 25-minute episodes).

The 10-minute episodes are called Classroom Corners focusing on array of food & wellness topics are driven by our listening audience. The name of our podcast derived from my 29 years of working in the education profession as a classroom teacher, Dean & Certified School Counselor.

A: This show represents how Sam & I, two underdogs, overcame major challenges ( Sam overcame Dyslexia & Dr. N. Cerebral Palsy) !
Q: What is your favorite task involved with your show?
A: Sam & I love 💕 being transparent with our guests.
Sam & I create engaging questions to ask as well as begin the show by posing asking our guests about their families & what kinds of food they grew up eating with their families.
We’ve learned interesting information concerning cultures from all around the globe that we enjoy sharing with our audience!
Q: Did you have someone help you design the podcast?
A: Sam, my brilliant technician & co-host, created the logo design & runs all the
technology aspects of the show. We both collaborated on the Classroom Corner 10-minute episodes as well as 25-minute episodes.
Q: Are there other hosts or gurus that you look up to?
A: I look up to Amberly Lago, a Wellness Influencer, who has been a mentor & Mitch Matthews, a Success Coach who is my coach. Both individuals are family driven & they are continuously seeking to ‘improve other people's lives!’ They inspired me to reinvent myself into a Life Design Coach, speaker & podcaster.
Q: What encouraging advice or problem-solving advice could you offer to others?

Q: What encouraging advice or problem-solving advice could you offer to others?
A: If your considering starting a podcast, please seek out a company or individuals who are successful in this area of business. Sam & I sought out a successful podcast producer who taught us the ‘do’s & don'ts’ of Apple podcasts. This was invaluable counsel that enabled us to have a growing five-star podcast!
Q: What sort of networking have you done with, or because of, your show?
A: Over the past year, while reinventing myself from an educator to a Life Design Coach, speaker & podcaster, I traveled to various coaching & presentation training events via Amberly Lago’s & Mitch Matthews's events. Interacting with a plethora of coaches, entrepreneurs & speakers has opened up my understanding of how the wellness industry works!
Q: I love that you bring up the collaboration has actually been an educational experience for you - one that hopefully will lead to even greater successes in the future :) What, in your opinion, should every new podcaster know?
A: Every new podcaster should be transparent with both your guests & your audience. Hosts need to create successful systems that work, so that the production can be successful. I think you have to be willing to, & always look to, improve!
