The QuestCast (Beta) -your goals and dreams gone public and challenged with a quest

Imagine what it would be like to hear the goals, fears and dreams of listeners like yourself, and then to have individualized quests given to embark upon over the next two weeks. Imagine then getting to hear the stories of the results of your and other listeners quests. That, in its simplist form, is The QuestCast. Each questcast episode also contains an open quest-for-all in which any listener can take up the challenge and then email, call or send an audio file back about their experience.

Examples Quests (+ new K7 voice message line)

We're getting closer!

I've received 3 quests already and am expecting some more soon from some fun podcaster personalities. I've added a new K7 voice message line (206) 350-QUEST to the ABCs list in the sidebar, and also thought it might be interesting to offer some example quests:

Example Quests

Personal/Social
  1. Sue takes herself too seriously and wants to loosen up. She wants a challenge level 3 and being a little nervous, asks to confirm first.
  2. Sue, we suggest you dress up in some outrageous costume with a friend and go to a super-market where you don't usually go and sing a song in the middle of the store.
  3. She decides to record a snippet of the experience, sends an email back describing it with the snippet attached.

Spiritual
  1. Martin realizes that his whole life has been lived way too superficially. He wants to start exploring spiritual things, but doesn't know where to start. He'd like a level 2 Quest.
  2. Martin, your quest is to ask 2 of the people you most admire as being what you'd call 'spiritual people' to share with you about their worldview, how they came to believe what they do, and how it affects their daily live.
  3. Martin emails us highlights from the experience and about how these dialogues helped him to begin his spiritual journey.

Vocational
  1. Chris is totally bored with his job, but has been afraid to leave it because it pays him fat cash. He is sick of being motivated by both the fear and the cash and knows that its time for a change. His goal is do something soon. He asks for a 5.
  2. Chris, your quest is to go on an overnight retreat either by yourself or with someone you really trust, and to do some serious thinking about what your deepest passions are. Perhaps, if you can't figure out how to take the time off, or in addition to your retreat --plop some of your fat cash down with a vocational counselor or life-coach.
  3. Chris takes his iriver on the retreat, records some of his thoughts at the end of the retreat, and sends those back to The QuestCast. He has decided to become a circus clown.

Physical/Health

  1. Lonnie feels like she is at the age where she needs to start getting some physical exercise, or there are going to be some serious consequences. She wants a level 2 challenge.
  2. Your quest Lonnie is to decide on some physical exercise that you enjoy (team or solo) and go do it three times this week for at least an hour. Make it fun, listen to The QuestCast while you play!
  3. Lonnie joins a community ultimate-frisbee team, meets some friends, and reports back on her super-fun time.

I'll add some more to this and create an 'examples' link later on....
