The courage to reach out directly can transform your life—just ask Alex Muir, who landed on Omar's podcast through a simple, straightforward message expressing genuine interest. Their conversation reveals how directness creates opportunity where endless small talk fails.
Both hosts share their journeys building podcasts from scratch during the pandemic, finding purpose when the world shut down. Alex, creator of the Mindset podcast focused on mind-body-spirit optimization, and Omar, whose "What If It Did Work" podcast recently hit one million downloads, discuss how they found meaning by helping others despite their own natural introversion.
They laugh about the absurdity of social media pitches and cold calls that dance around the point instead of being upfront about intentions. As former sales professionals, they understand rejection intimately—the very thing that built their resilience and authenticity. "I've had so many suit dudes, so many no's that if I got a dollar for every no in my life, I'd be pretty wealthy," Omar reflects.
The conversation takes a thoughtful turn toward meditation, mental clarity, and the importance of managing energy rather than obsessing over metrics. Both agree that success in niche content takes longer but creates deeper connections with audiences who genuinely need your message. As Alex puts it, "When the mission's clear and the niche is very niche, then I'm okay with it taking longer, because as long as you're enjoying the process, that's all that matters."
Their authentic exchange offers a refreshing perspective on building something meaningful in a world of quick fixes and overnight success stories. Subscribe to both podcasts to continue exploring mindset shifts that transform lives and discover what happens when you finally take action despite your fears.
