Everyone has a Story to Tell

2nd Act Podcasts - is a growing  podcast network built around people with fun, smart, unexpected views, hobbies and interests.

 

This is where you find hosts who think a little differently, care a little too much, and aren’t afraid to follow a conversation wherever it goes. No boring experts. No fake hot takes. Just genuinely interesting humans with something to say.

Golden Geeks Podcast

Golden Geeks is a pop-culture podcast for people who grew up loving movies, TV, comics, and the weird corners of fandom—and never really grew out of it.

 

Hosts Jamie and Simon break down everything from blockbuster franchises and cult classics to collectibles, nostalgia, and the occasionally unhinged realities of being lifelong geeks in the real world.

 

Smart, funny, and self-aware, Golden Geeks celebrates fandom with equal parts insight and irreverence.

Success Starts Small

Success Starts Small is a fun, candid podcast that pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a small business. Each episode features entrepreneurs and small business owners sharing their origin stories—from scrappy beginnings and side hustles to hard lessons, unexpected pivots, and breakthrough moments.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the late nights, the “what was I thinking?” moments, the small wins that feel huge, and the determination it takes to keep going when quitting would be easier.

 

Whether you’re dreaming up your first idea, growing a business you love, or just curious about how others made the leap, Success Starts Small delivers relatable stories, honest advice, and a reminder that every big success begins with a single, small step.
