Do people listen to podcast trailers?

00:00:06
Speaker
I mean, does anyone actually listen to trailers? Do you actually listen to trailers? A podcast? Before today? No. Today was your first time listening? Today was my first time. I listened to like four different trailers and I can honestly say in my entire life that was the first four that I've ever listened

Exploring stories on 'Robot Unicorn'

00:00:21
Speaker
to. But hey, I am going to ask you three questions about Robot Unicorn. First, what is Robot Unicorn about?
00:00:30
Speaker
Robot Unicorn is about hearing people's stories, interesting people, so people that you and I either look up to or that we're interested in hearing more about or are friends. And we really just want to understand people's stories. I always have. Like, I remember sitting as a child and just listening to my parents' friends' stories and just sitting on my mom's lap and the other kids would be like, Jess, play with us. And I'd be like, no, I just want to listen to them talk.
00:00:53
Speaker
So I think Robot Unicorn is my now adult way of being able to listen to people's stories and hear what made them who they are. Good answer.

The story behind the name 'Robot Unicorn'

00:01:02
Speaker
Next question is, why did we choose this name that we have? Because Robot Unicorn is a very weird name. Let's be real. Our company, Nurtured First, sounds nice and nurtured. I mean, nurture is right in the name. So why in the world did we choose Robot Unicorn?
00:01:18
Speaker
I think we loved the name, first off, that it was unexpected because we assumed that when we were making a parenting podcast, everyone was going to think we were going to have the name nurtured first or something similar to what we already have. And the real reason we chose it is because of our daughter. We were talking to her and trying to ask her, what should we name our podcast? And she comes up with the name Robot Unicorn because she loves robots and she loves unicorns.
00:01:42
Speaker
And because it's me, classic, I'm always thinking like, what's the deeper meaning here behind robot unicorn? And I found a way to make it feel really deep for me, which is the fact that this six-year-old can love robots. She can love unicorns, even though they're both very different things. And she can hold them both at the same time and love them both. And I kind of feel like that's what the podcast is all about, like understanding these different pieces of us and why we love them.
00:02:06
Speaker
It kind of aptly describes the two of us too. Not that I'm a robot, but I mean, I was in robotic systems engineering in the past. So I feel like that fits for me. And then you're very different on the creative side of things.
00:02:18
Speaker
Yeah. I think if we described ourselves, like you'd be more of the robot, I'd be more of the unicorn and creative and flowy and deep and all those things. Sunshine and rainbows. Sunshine and rainbows. And you're a little more like systematic. And anyway, so I just think there's so many reasons, but it's also fun. We love the idea of fun and playfulness in a podcast that a lot of parents are going to listen to. I think we lose some of the playfulness of children. So there's a lot of different reasons that we chose it, but I really like it. And I love the little logo that we made the little,
00:02:48
Speaker
It's kind of cute. Okay.

Audience and purpose of the podcast

00:02:50
Speaker
Last one. Who should listen to robot unicorn in this podcast? I think everyone's going to assume that we're going to say only parents should listen to this podcast because that's who we talked to on Instagram. But I truly think this podcast is for anyone who wants to understand other people a little bit more deeply. They want to understand what made people the way that they are. And I think it's for anyone who really wants to understand themselves.
00:03:12
Speaker
Because I think through hearing the stories that you're going to hear on this podcast, you're going to learn how to understand yourself in a deeper way. And you're going to learn to reflect on your own experiences in a deeper way. And I think that is truly for anyone who wants to

Emphasis on deep conversations

00:03:23
Speaker
do that work. If I can summarize, I feel as though you convey that pretty well on Instagram. So through Nurtured First, you convey that pretty well. Basically, it comes down to if you like the way Jess talks about things on Instagram, you'll probably like this podcast. We go deep. We don't do small talk. We don't do surface level.
00:03:41
Speaker
And if you don't like that kind of stuff, not really getting to the root of the issue or the root of someone's story, then this is maybe not the podcast for you. This is the podcast for people who want to hear the deeper stuff. And I can't wait for you to listen. I know you're going to love it.
