This episode unpacks how Soulture emerged not from strategy, but from listening—to the guests, to the timing, and to myself.

Episode 100, but in a way, it feels like episode one. I’m changing the name of the podcast, not as a pivot, but as a reflection of what it’s already become. What started with the identity of Outworker evolved through the conversations into something deeper. Soul became the word that best captured it. This episode unpacks how Soulture emerged not from strategy, but from listening—to the guests, to the timing, and to myself.

Tim Doyle (00:30.432)

Episode 100, triple digits. Can't believe it. Made the pact to myself that I put out a podcast episode every single week since I started. So 100 weeks, 100 episodes. It's gone by so fast. Like it doesn't even feel like I've been doing it for so long. And I think that's kind of a cool feeling because just

being present in the moment with the conversations and allowing the process to unfold. And so yes, 100 episodes, obviously such a special number. you do anything, getting to 100 of anything in life is incredible. But to a large degree,

It also just feels like this is the next episode.

Tim Doyle (01:36.822)

And building off of that, it also feels like this is episode one.

Because when I was thinking about what I wanted this podcast episode to be, because yes, number 100, that's a special number. And I wanted to do something to commemorate that, to show that, hey, this is a different type of episode, or this is more important than other ones. And I didn't think that a regular interview style conversation with somebody else

would be able to do that. And I've done a lot of solo episodes where different thoughts or different stories that I had, which are obviously great. But this is important. And the reason why I say that this feels like it's episode one is because I'm changing the name of this podcast. I'm changing the name of the podcast, something that is really big.

for something that I've been doing for so long and have built a brand around this name, Outworker, and now to change it, you know, that's big change to make. That's a big step. And I'll get into the reasons why I'm doing this and what the new name is and how I came up with that name and why I felt like I needed to do this.

But I wanna give thanks to Outworker. You gotta give thanks to that original name.

Tim Doyle (03:16.366)

Like I needed Outworker to be able to start this. And the reason why I chose it, Outworker was actually, it's actually funny. The original name that I came up with was the Outwork Network. That was the very, very original name, but then I thought that was too much of a tongue twister and too wordy. So was like, all right, let me shorten this a little. I'm like, boom, Outworker. And I sat with that for a while. I was like, man, this is the name, this is cool.

And whenever you're starting anything, but especially starting a podcast where the name is the most essential thing, you need to feel like this is it.

it needs to sink in for you and it did because the word outwork felt like it really identified with me. It was my philosophy around obviously work, but the way that I live my life. And I thought, okay, this is a perfect thing to brand a podcast around and having conversations around. And what my very first episode was about,

was going into that entire philosophy of, this is what out worker means and this is why I'm doing it. And it's funny, I also talked about four or five different names that I had thought of. And you can go back to that very first episode if you're curious to know what those are. But then tying it into

why I choose those and why Outworker felt like it was the name.

Tim Doyle (04:56.974)

And the reason why I did choose At Work is because...

It came from working out in the gym, was such an essential part of my life right when I first had the idea and it continues to be, but in a much different way. And the reason why I work is something that resonates so much with me is because it feels like that is my mindset. Is because that feels like that is my mindset every single day when

I'm working on things and working on myself. It's that improvement. It's like, a redefinition of it. You know, we tend to think about working as outworking other people, you know, outwork the competition or he got outworked. I'm like, no, that's not what this is. It's about outworking self. It's a totally individual internal process where you're focused on outworking yourself.

Tim Doyle (06:02.923)

And in a way.

This is not an abandonment of out worker actually, because very early on I put out a 10 pillars of what out worker means. And one of those was constantly evolving. Because if you're constantly out working, if you're constantly improving yourself, you're always in that state of evolution of maybe not being able to see big stuff on every single day, but

Underneath the surface, if you looked under a microscope, there are small evolutions changing that will stack up that you'll be able to see over time. And that's what this is.

This is the evolution of out worker. I out worked out worker so to speak.

where to the point of, this doesn't feel like it's the right name for the show, something that I resonate with as much. And it's not like I had the idea of changing the name. It's not like I was like, you know what? I wanna change the name, that'd be fun to do. Like I said, no, this was an evolution.

Tim Doyle (07:24.888)

the conversations that I was having with people brought this on.

Tim Doyle (07:33.042)

And I would say the conversations that I would call like the foundational episodes or the pillars of the episodes or the episodes that felt like, hey, this is what this show is at, at its core. I felt like, yeah, Outworker is really cool, but it doesn't align with this. This isn't about outworking. This isn't about.

Constant improvement there. There's more depth to this. There's more emotion and energy behind this this isn't just a surface level of Hey constantly trying to outwork yourself

Tim Doyle (08:13.676)

And this was an uncomfortable feeling. This was, and this was a drawn out process. This wasn't like, the name doesn't match anymore. Let me switch to something else. It was like, no. was like, this was a very drawn out process. Especially when I felt like I didn't have.

the name that feels more aligned with, which obviously I'll introduce. So there was a very uncomfortable tension where, it feels like this name, Outworker, isn't the right one, but I don't know what it is. And it was uncomfortable living in that seesaw space, or that space where there was just a lot of...

Blurred understanding and blurred vision.

Tim Doyle (09:12.76)

The way that I...

Tim Doyle (09:18.562)

The way that I started to brainstorm though is kind of the same way that I came up with Outworker in the first place. Where I was like, okay, let me go back to the drawing board. Like let me redo what I did to come up with this name, Outworker. And what that came to was, okay, what is the word or the two words that I feel like really get to?

the core of what this show is about and the people that I'm talking with and these conversations that I'm having and the ideas that are being built and the themes that are being created. And the word that I kept coming back to was soul. I was like, yeah. was like, yeah, this show has soul. This show has depth to it.

The show has something that.

I can't.

quite put into language about the way that I work on it, but it makes me feel a certain way. And I've had guests say the same thing and there's a depth.

Tim Doyle (10:39.303)

and

Tim Doyle (11:03.576)

There's a depth and a reaction that I get that gets me more aligned with my heart than with my mind when I have these conversations and what I think these conversations that are being produced are about.

And so I stuck with that word soul. I was like, okay, I can be the bass. Soul.

Tim Doyle (11:30.52)

but I knew soul is such a generic term. It's such a.

Tim Doyle (11:39.404)

in a way unauthentic or I can't identify it or I can't own the word soul.

So I thought, okay, how do we make this mine? Where do we go from here? How do we build off this word soul?

Tim Doyle (11:58.574)

And I thought like, okay.

Tim Doyle (12:02.698)

What is a podcast about? What are we doing with this medium of talking with people and connecting with people and creating these conversations and what this ecosystem of media and podcasting is all about? And I thought, okay, that's about culture. We're tapping into culture here. I'm like, okay, that's interesting. Okay, we got soul, we got culture. Okay, what can we do? You know, soul culture.

And then boom, like I was sitting at my kitchen table and I was like, soldier.

Tim Doyle (12:42.126)

That's what this is about. This is about soul and culture and what that is, is that's sultry. And I was like, I like that. Because it's still for just getting into how the word sounds and how the word looks. It looks like culture, but you're just replacing the start of it with soul.

It still sounds the same. It still looks the same. But it's Solture.

And I had this idea for Solter close to a year ago. And the reason why I know that is because I bought the name for Solter in March of 2025.

And I'm recording this in the start of February of 2026. And I didn't even realize that when I was doing my research and preparing for this episode that I was recording. I went back. I was like, oh, like, let me see when, I first really actually had this idea. And I'm like, man. This was close to a year ago.

when I first came up with the name. And the reason why I'm sharing that is because I think it's important to state and share that when you feel something, when you feel like you need to make a change, just within life in general.

Tim Doyle (14:08.354)

Allow yourself to sit with it. You don't need to make the change right away. Allow yourself to just sit with those feelings and those thoughts about, hey, what am I supposed to do here? Because I think one of two things will happen.

Tim Doyle (14:28.885)

It'll either just completely dissipate, which will show you, hey.

you know, this maybe isn't meant to be. Or what happened with me is that it just kept, it just kept happening to me. It just kept.

gnawing at me of like, hey, I'm still here. This name is still here. And it was like a big epiphany when I first came up with the name, which is great. And then I'm like, all right, let me sit with this. And then it's just been a gentle tap throughout the entire year. There've probably been three times where I thought like, okay, I'm changing the name. I'm gonna do it now. And then I kept.

contracting back of like, let me hold off. And I think that's important, and I think that's good because it was like, let me hold off, let me see if I continue to feel this. Let me not rush this. And then I finally just got to the point where...

I was like, nah, I wanna change it, soldier. But what really made it click is because the reason why...

Tim Doyle (16:09.27)

encapsulated my journey through life in a way.

but what made it click for me.

What made me finally appreciate and realize of, this is the right decision to make is that I realized.

how I do something.

is not the same as what it is.

Tim Doyle (16:42.816)

Outworker and outwork. Yes, that is a philosophy behind the way that I work.

but it's not necessarily what the show is or what the show is about.

Tim Doyle (16:59.852)

Yes, like this out worker philosophy, that is what has helped me build this show and get it off the ground and be able to be in a place where I can say, I've done a hundred episodes where the majority of those episodes are.

Tim Doyle (17:29.666)

You know, not just, and there's nothing wrong with this, but not just, you know, like no name individuals of like, Hey, you know, so and so down the street, let's record a conversation to like high quality individuals within their fields of work. And the only reason why I was able to get that done is because of this out worker mindset of, Hey, stick to your inputs of constant outreach.

doing good research, putting good work into this.

Tim Doyle (18:09.976)

So that is the scaffolding around this show, so to speak.

but it's not the actual building. It's not what's actually being built. Solter is what this is. Outworker is how it's been able to get done so far.

And that's what made it click for me. I was like, okay. Yeah, I like that. And something that...

made it click for me even more. And it's probably because I had a different mindset and had different eyes on the show and the research I was doing on people. The word soul kept coming up and sticking out to me. The books that I was reading for the people that I would have on the show or reading different articles or just, you whatever the type of content would be. The word soul was coming up a lot compared to the word outwork.

And part of the reason why I also wanted to shift away from this is because like I said, the reason why I liked Outwork and Outworker is because one of my main motivations was like, I want to redefine what this means. Like Outwork doesn't mean comparing yourself to other people, trying to outwork other people. This is a internal singular process. And what I learned through

Tim Doyle (19:38.988)

the show and having conversations with people and interacting with people about the show.

That's the wrong game to play. Don't choose words that the mission is to try to redefine. Words have their definitions and the world understands them that way. I would have conversations with people and they'd be like, yeah. Or like, you I'd be having a conversation with two people, like, you know, one of them I know who like knows about the podcast and you know, another person who like I just met and the person I know.

Be like, yeah, if you want a good podcast, if you want to learn to outwork, Tim's got a show called About Outworker. And I'm like.

Like, no, like I don't like that. And the other sign to me, when people would ask what the name of the show is.

I got to a point where there's a small part of me that would cringe when saying it. I'd feel like a, mm, it's a worker. And that's another sign that I had him like, hey, dude, if it's making you feel that way to say the name, it's probably not the name to continue with. And like I said, that was part of the reason why I was so tough because I've built something, I've built a hundred of something around this name.

Tim Doyle (21:04.686)

And so it's tough, but I got to the point where I was like, hey, dude, you gotta get to a point where you just do it better late than never. You don't want 100 episodes to become 200 episodes. And they're like, all right, let me change the name.

Tim Doyle (21:18.574)

and getting back to the definition piece. So I was like, okay.

find the words that define the show that people understand what those definitions are. And it aligns instead of trying to rewrite words. And obviously, solter isn't a word. But when I was looking up what soul is and what culture is, what those definitions are, I'm like, yeah, that's what this is. So I mean, if you look up what soul means,

in the dictionary, two of them.

Two different definitions. emotional or intellectual energy or intensity, especially as revealed in a work of art or an artistic performance.

That seems like what a podcast is and that seems like what these conversations are. There is energy behind this. There is intellectual energy behind this that is being created into this product at the end of the day. We are taking this intellectual energy. We're bundling it up in a conversation and we're saying here world, this is what that is. This is what soul is. The second definition.

Tim Doyle (22:43.618)

the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being.

Tim Doyle (22:49.932)

That is a part of this as well.

Who we are at our core, and I'll talk about this later on, who we are at our core is a soul.

That is what we are.

Tim Doyle (23:07.01)

You may have your identity, you may have your name, you may have your beliefs about yourself. When you strip all that away, what you are is a soul and you need to tap into that. And then the definition of culture, the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

And that's to a large degree what we're talking about in these conversations. We're talking about culture. We're talking about soul and we're talking about culture and what that is is sultry. And the reason why culture.

has.

Tim Doyle (23:52.596)

stuck out to me and it's such a critical part of the name as well. Obviously you know soul is the emphasis here because the start of the word and it's the full world word and we're just using part of this word culture but the reason why culture is so important here.

is because culture has been soiled. Culture has been tainted within the world.

Tim Doyle (24:21.432)

pop culture.

political culture, even sports culture now, it all feels very muddied. It all feels very...

Dirty, honestly, to a large degree.

And so my thought process here was, well, know, culture is an important part of the human experience and connecting with people.

And my thought was, you know, we need culture for the soul. We need a culture that taps you into your soul more. know, sports culture taps you into sports, obviously. Pop culture taps you into entertainment and that part of the world. Political culture taps you into that part of the world. My process was here.

Tim Doyle (25:22.03)

We need a culture that taps you into your soul. We don't have enough of that in the world. And if I can play a little part where I feel like the conversations that I'm having.

The.

Tim Doyle (25:39.79)

the energy that is being facilitated here. If I can play a little part where that taps into your soul, I'm like, all right, that's what needs to be done here. And we need a name that signifies that instead of just outworking, know, trying to improve.

Tim Doyle (26:04.898)

because at the end of the day.

What I also learned was...

Tim Doyle (26:13.954)

And what I also learned was out worker gets me in touch with my head and it just lives in my head. It's very.

just buy the book methodical of boom, boom, boom, boom, Okay, work one day, improve the next, improve, improve. It's just like, okay, being very methodical and monotonous.

Which is good to a Which is good to a degree. But some of the best work I've done.

Or some of my...

most special moments I wouldn't illustrate coming from outworking. It came from

Tim Doyle (27:02.732)

the soul to a large degree. was a dance and that's what Sultra gets to. It gets me in touch with my heart, which then will get me in touch with my head in the most aligned way possible.

Tim Doyle (27:19.896)

Sultures, it's a dance. There's a fluidity to it. There's a certain energy and emotional feeling behind it.

where it makes you think a little of like, like what is that? What does this mean? And Out Worker was just very cut and dry. It was very identity-based. And that's the other thought that I had.

when I first started the show of like, give people an identity, give people something that they can be, know, be an out worker.

It's like, you know, we have all these, you know, these buzzwords, these ideological buzzwords that people can get lost in, give them something that can really help them, like, I'm an out worker, this mindset of out working, give them that, allow that to be their identity. And what I learned was, no, it's not important to be something. It's not important to have an identity.

or to tag yourself with a name.

Tim Doyle (28:27.372)

what this works about and what's more important is make people feel something.

Tim Doyle (28:35.692)

just make people feel something and allow the rest to unfold for them in their own natural individual ways. Don't tag somebody or don't say like, hey, here's an identity that you can use for yourself now. No, just make them feel something. And that's something that, like I said, I came through these conversations. This was a natural unfolding. It's just something that I learned.

through the process of having these conversations of, it's about feeling something. This isn't about having conversations so people can feel like, hey, this is what you are. And where that really sunk in for me, it's where I've had three guests pretty much like back to back to back this past summer, where one was like,

Yeah, this is the first interview that I've done in over a year. And I asked him, OK, you know, why me? Why this show? He's like, I don't know. This just felt different.

Tim Doyle (29:46.816)

another guest. We record. You know, I sent him an email afterwards.

Another guest, we record, we wrap up, little small talk thereafter. And he tells me, yeah, I've actually been canceling a lot of shows or pushing them to the fall.

And I was like, okay, like, why didn't you do that for me then? Why didn't you, you know, push this off to the fall or why didn't you cancel this? And same thing, he's like, this just feels different. He goes, this felt like something that I had to do now.

Tim Doyle (30:39.168)

And then a third guest, an in-person one, he was like, these past couple of weeks have been very, very chaotic for me where I'm about to leave town and just getting a lot of stuff organized. But this felt like something that needed to stay on the calendar. This needed to stay where it was. This was never an option to move around.

And the common word there was feel.

Tim Doyle (31:14.446)

I wasn't think, it's like this feels different. I'm like, all right, this is a show and these are conversations where I'm tapping into.

Tim Doyle (31:26.242)

feeling.

And that's what became what I realized what the show was about was, all right, I'm just trying to make you feel something.

Tim Doyle (31:39.95)

And how that's progressed now is now it's, all right, I'm trying to make you feel Sultry. I'm trying to make you feel the soul behind the show. I'm trying to make you feel the cultural connection of these conversations. I'm trying to make you feel Sultry. Now, if you were to say, okay, what's that feeling of Sultry? What does Sultry mean? I would still say, well, I don't exactly know.

You can't always put feelings into...

Tim Doyle (32:16.302)

tightly formed definitions or very clear-cut language. Sulture feels more like a fee- Sulture feels more like a feeling rather than simply a word that can be defined or like I did with at work.

Tim Doyle (32:43.074)

what is still at the core of the show, which has been here since day one, which I tagged as, I guess you could say the.

Tim Doyle (32:56.758)

main tagline of the show or the thesis behind the show, which is the relationship with self is the most important to develop, but the easiest to neglect. And that's what my mindset was. Okay, let me create conversations that feel like, okay, if somebody's listening to it, it will allow them to develop that relationship with themself in some way or another.

Tim Doyle (33:26.862)

And what I've learned and what I've come to appreciate is that.

Tim Doyle (33:33.728)

I think self and soul are synonymous now. So the relationship with soul or the relationship with your soul is the most important to develop, but the easiest to neglect.

And I believe that is so true. think that makes even more sense when you put the word soul in there instead of self. It is hard to develop that relationship with your soul. I think it's really, really hard.

Tim Doyle (34:10.058)

and it's constant work. It's never like, all right, yep, I'm good, I'm there.

and what I think getting in touch with your soul means.

It's a breaking down effect. It's breaking yourself down to become so you can become more.

It's not a constant building up, building up, building up. And I think that's what Outworker gets into. It's a constant, all right, build up, build up, build up, improve, improve, improve, improve, improve. And it's like, no, it's allowing yourself the space.

to remove what isn't serving you and to be broken down. And because I used to have, and this is is getting into this out-worker mindset, like I said, out-worker came from the gym basically for me. Like, when I work out, I'm trying to out-work what I previously did. I used to view myself as a machine. And I don't think that's a necessarily bad thing. I think it's something that really helped me and served me well at the time when I had that belief system about myself of like, okay, I'm a machine.

Tim Doyle (35:27.97)

But as time has gone on, I've learned, no, you're not a machine. You're a vessel here. You're a soul.

Tim Doyle (35:39.659)

And what is?

And I wouldn't have this idea for this name or this focus on soul wouldn't be.

so important to me, or these conversations that feel like the ones that I wanna have.

Tim Doyle (36:04.514)

or these conversations that I'm having that feel like, okay, these are the types of conversations that I wanna have. These wouldn't be those conversations if it wasn't for the time where I was broken down the most.

and broken against my will. Which ultimately that breaking allowed me to get me more in touch with my soul.

And I've talked a lot about this. I made a podcast series on it. This whole experience of me dealing with chronic pain and chronic back pain and herniated discs and just debilitating pain for months on end. That was that breaking down. If I'm saying, hey, getting more in touch with your soul is a breaking down effect, well, that's what that goes to. And that's what these conversations have provided evidence for me for.

because that's what I learned about myself. okay, like I had this really trying time, this massive unwilling experience.

and it ultimately got me more in touch with myself and showed me who I truly am. And so I had that personal experience and that anecdotal experience. And one of the hypotheses or one of my curiosities for the show in these conversations was

Tim Doyle (37:32.024)

Do other people have that?

Do other people have that similar experience?

and a lot of the people that I've had conversations with.

who I would consider of like, yeah, that person's tapping into their soul. Or yeah, that person seems like they're aligned with their soul in certain ways. A lot of them have had that breaking down effect against their will. Because who we are at our core, I said this earlier, who we are at our core is a soul. When we come into this world, that is who we are.

And then it is.

Tim Doyle (38:19.052)

earthly humans who then give us a name, give us an identity, and as we continue to grow and become a part of society.

that identity takes on the...

main force of who we are.

That's who we believe to who we are. Like your name, the beliefs that you have about yourself, the things that you think you're good at, you think you're bad at, the insecurities about yourself, the stresses that you deal with. That's who we believe we are. That is what we identify with.

Tim Doyle (39:13.196)

And when you have a trying time, when you have that breaking down effect, what breaks down with that is all those things. That name breaks down, that identity breaks down, those insecurities break down, all those thoughts and beliefs that you have about yourself, you just start seeing yourself with new eyes.

Tim Doyle (39:34.934)

And my belief is what is happening there is, those cracks are allowing me to see through to my soul again.

Tim Doyle (39:48.46)

And to a large degree, I don't know how somebody can willingly do that. That's one of the main things that I've always thought. Like, the positive effects that have come from that trying time of so much pain. I'm like, I would have never been able to concoct that myself willingly. I would have never been able to be like, okay, so like, I'm gonna do this so that I can start feeling this way about myself.

and start seeing myself this way. I'm like, no, absolutely not.

And that's why one of my main theses, one of my main philosophies is the ultimate benefit of unwilling pain.

And this isn't me being naive, know, something crappy happens to you. And it's like, hey, this is a good thing. This is really good. It's like, no, this absolutely sucks. It sucks that this happened to you.

But when you get on the other side of it, it takes on new life. It alchemizes into something much different. And what that alchemy process is, is something really tough just happened to me here.

Tim Doyle (41:11.202)

Doesn't feel good. I'm losing my sense of self. I don't know who I am anymore with this new roadblock in front of me.

and that loss of sense of self turns into a good thing because that loss of identity alchemizes into a greater appreciation of becoming more connected with your soul.

Tim Doyle (41:39.074)

And where this soul, and where this word soul took on even more life for me, because I've become a much more spiritual and faithful person.

because of that entire experience. And to a large degree, you know, when I had this new name, I was like, all right, like I need a sign. Like what's something else that can like give me further confirmation and give me further evidence of like, hey, this is the right way to go. And this is another story that I've shared a lot about where I was.

You know, in church when I was still dealing with a lot of pain and we say the word and we say the line, Lord, I'm not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. And when we said those words, especially when said the word healed, I just felt this massive release of pain within my body. And the way that I describe it was it didn't just feel like, the pain in the moment went away.

Felt like, whoa, like this moment just...

Tim Doyle (42:56.16)

encapsulated all the pain that I had felt over these last seven months and just created a feeling of beauty instead. And so I became so focused over the years on this word healed because that's when it happened. It's like when we said the word healed, it was like boom. I was like, man, know, like healing has become a really important word in my life.

And now it was probably five years later. I remember I was in mass, you know, reflecting on that. And I had this epiphany. I was like, dude, what's the other word in that line? What's the other word that you had never thought about in that line? Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word.

and my soul shall be healed. Hadn't thought about it, had been completely blind to it this entire time because that word healed had been so impactful for me that I had just been blinded by the rest of the line. I'm like, dude, it's been sitting right in front of you this entire time. Soul.

Tim Doyle (44:24.846)

was like, whoa.

Tim Doyle (44:37.966)

I realize that.

Tim Doyle (44:41.784)

So much time had passed. Would recite that every single week in mass. But it took, I needed to get to the spot in life.

and what this podcast helped me with, I needed to get to the spot in life where I could finally see that other word, soul.

And now.

What I also want to preface here is that this isn't, nothing changes with the types of conversations that I'm having. Actually, everything stays the same. The only thing that changes is the name of the podcast, it's a Solcher. Because what I'm saying is, okay, all these conversations or these types of conversations are staying the same and now we just need a more aligned name for it.

And what's important to understand, and I think it can get lost a lot of time, being very higher power, higher self, spirit, faith-based, does not mean turning into woo woo, head in the sky. It's like, no, this is soulful.

Tim Doyle (45:57.952)

And this is soulful in depth, but it's still gritty in ground.

still out working, like I said, the work behind it stays the same. That's the how behind it, but it isn't what it is. And I think that's a good balance to have. When you're able to have that relationship with soul, relationship with something bigger than yourself.

and then tacking that onto in a very grounded way where you're able to embody that with the way that you.

work.

It's a pretty special combination. It's a pretty cool combination where you feel like the soul and the depth behind that is what's driving you forward. You know, that's what's allowing you to work in a way that is different from just outworking in the natural sense.

Tim Doyle (47:15.276)

And there was another thing.

Tim Doyle (47:58.478)

And there's another thing that provided even.

I guess you'd say more evidence for me or another sign. And this gets into the more of the synchronistic.

feelings behind why this was the right choice to make.

You know, four or five days ago before recording this, know, me getting prepared like, all right, like new names coming. It's the new beginning. I got an email, you know, just like an automated email through the newsletter. I got an email from my podcast hosting platform that served as an extra sign. And what it was about was changing the name of your podcast.

And this is what they say.

Tim Doyle (48:53.196)

In today's world, it can feel like every opinion has to be final. But when something you've built starts growing in a new direction, it's okay to rethink what made sense at the beginning. If your podcast name came to mind while reading this, you're not alone.

After talking with so many podcasters at PodFest, it's clear that some shows evolved beyond the name they started with. The good news is your podcast name can be changed at any time. A thoughtful rebrand can make your show easier to find and better aligned with what you're creating now.

Tim Doyle (49:35.82)

That's exactly what's happening here. And it's not a rebrand. It's an evolution.

It's just something that naturally unfolded this way.

And I'm excited to continue having these conversations with this name behind it now and this new energy that feels like, this is exactly what's being built here. This podcast has given me a lot.

but that's also because I've given this podcast a lot and I'm excited to continue to give to it and I'm excited to receive even more in return. And yeah, it feels like a new beginning in a way. It feels like episode one now, but obviously 100 episodes, but like, hey, number one.

But hey, the number one is the only number in 100. yeah, like in a weird way, it feels like episode one again, but it's a cool feeling. So with that.

Tim Doyle (50:45.986)

Let me know what you think of the new name. Let me know what you think about my thoughts on this understanding of soul and culture. And now continuing to build Soulcher. And I'll see you next Wednesday for the next episode.
