This week's Five Random Questions is a blend of light-hearted banter and profound life lessons as Dave Campbell opens up about his journey as a podcaster and musician. Dave reflects on the significance of community and connection, both in his personal life and through his various podcasts.
He also touches upon the impact of social media on relationships and the importance of engaging in open, respectful conversations that bridge divides, encouraging listeners to embrace diverse perspectives and foster genuine connections.
Answering the questions this week: David Campbell
Dave is from Ontario Canada. He has been chased by a Moose, been in 3 tornadoes, heard himself on the radio, Dave wonders why people love puzzles, and he can’t swim. Dave is fairly sarcastic and his wit makes him slightly dizzy at times. His wife does find Dave mildly entertaining (in small amounts and from a safe distance). Dave is the host of 8 different podcasts, and over the past 5 years Dave has created content, community and stories - speaking with guests from around the world - everyone has a story! Dave pursues curiosity and coffee in the search for creative people and stories. Dave is an empty nest Dad with 3 adult children. Dave loves his rescued animals, Dave has been an active musician for over 45 years and he has more stories than what can fit into a standard podcast recording. Dave operates True Media Solutions and supports podcasters by handling podcast editing, growth and promotion. https://truemediasolutions.ca/
