EP41 – Halloween Special with Mike Huberty on the Paranormal, Uniqueness, & Finding the Right Path!
It's Halloween, so I decided to get into the 'spirit' of things! So, in this episode, I share a great conversation with Podcaster, Author, Entrepreneur, and Lead-singer from the Band Sunspot, Mike Huberty. He hosts a podcast called See You On The Other Side with his co-host Wendy Lynn Staats. He’s from Madison, Wisconsin. The area of Paranormal, Afterlife, UFOs, Ghosts and Conspiracy Theories are of interest to me and when I heard Mike's podcast, I reached out to see if he'd be willing to come on to mine to discuss his career and hear some fun stories from his journey. Our conversation touches on a bunch of interesting topics and experiences including: • A paranormal experience while at Blarney Castle in Cork which gave him and his wife inspiration • Developing an interest and fascination in the paranormal from a young age • An early memory watching an episode of ‘That’s Incredible’ that showed a seanace on TV and getting enraptured by it • Having a growing interest real life stories around ghosts • Having always been interested in Movies and Cinemas in College • His Beliefs and Views into the afterlife, paranormal and ghosts • A passion for Movies like the Poltergeist and Texas Chain Saw Massacre • Learning to play Guitar and performing and loving this • Developing a passion for writing songs about 'weird' stuff • Starting to write for the college newspaper, meeting new bands that came to Maddison and there learning to interview these guests • Identifying a pattern of focus and drive in successful musicians during this time • Having a production job at a TV station out of college work – this was an experiment • Then working as a Software Tester – paid great but not fun. It didn’t touch on Mike creativity, potential or passion • Building a plan to take a new jump into something of passion but more risk! • Finding something your uniquely good at and passionate at • Identifying the right path and knowing he was on it • Becoming an entrepreneur by creating haunted walking tours in Maddison and this taking off, leading to setting up similar tours in other cities in Wisconsin • Combining all his learnings and passions together to create the podcast • Keep testing and trying out things you like and see what works and eventually finding it – tweak and tweak until you find it • Meditation - Listening to yourself regularly and finding a good sense from this • Favorite episodes of his show: o Episode 151 – Ghost Adventurer o Episode 150 - Project Bluebook – Book called the close encounters man / Scientific studies of UFOs o Episode on The Chicago Moth Man Discussion • Native legends of paranormal in the Wisconsin area • Conspiracy Theory and a Mike answers a Listeners Question around the Cold War and Technical Advances since Roswell UFOs and all that good stuff • Success and Mikes own perspective of what that is to him!
