But it's more than just that. It's also about his life beginning in New York and how he created a life for himself, his wife and now their adopted son in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles. \n\nWhat's especially enjoyable about his accounts of his life is not just what's going on in the present but also the historical knowledge he imparts with a sense of humor. \n\nHe probably remembers Gene Shepard from many many years ago on WOR A.M. Radio in New York City and I as a young child back then would listen to him on the equivalent of podcasts back then. Younger people may recall the movie \"A Christmas Story\" and the famous saying about not getting a Bebe gun because he will shoot his eye out. Well that was written by and voice overhead by Gene Shepard. \n\nMr. Trules has a similar ability to tell a good story and to do so in such a way as to bring you right there. \n\nI only recently discovered podcasts and this has got to be one of the best ones out there!<\/p><\/li><li style=\"list-style:none !important\"><strong>Great show, if you love travel, you will love this<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-podcast-press\/icons\/rating_stars\/5star.png\"><div>July 5, 2017 by <b>Young free and coupled<\/b> from United Kingdom<\/div><p>Well worth a sub, DO IT NOW, i did!<\/p><\/li><li style=\"list-style:none !important\"><strong>A mind-expanding guide of the world<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-podcast-press\/icons\/rating_stars\/5star.png\"><div>June 30, 2017 by <b>Keltonboy1755<\/b> from United States<\/div><p>Listen to this podcast and the man who makes it.

He also happens to be an ever-searching, wonderfully curious, thoughtful and profound individual, with a unique perspective on the wide world -- a world which he's circumnavigated far more than I could even imagine. Though, after listening to his podcast, it's inspiring me to attempt to catch up someday and ramp up the timeline on my exploration of this mysterious, beautiful world.\n\nAs much as the travel adventures are wonderful to hear on their own though, the real treasure here comes in his thoughtful reflection on humanity in its many garments and idiosyncracies. He certainly could have been a cultural anthropologist if he didn't become a theatre professor...but I'm glad he went toward the stage; now we get the benefits of his runminations on humanity through the vessel of a uniquely gifted, entertaining storyteller.\n\nI've seen him perform many times, but this podcast is a great reminder of how much character and warmth his voice carries with every phrase as a trained performer. Trules is a cultural treasure, and I can't wait to hear more installments of this powerful travelogue.<\/p><\/li><li style=\"list-style:none !important\"><strong>Tules trancends travel triumphantly<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-podcast-press\/icons\/rating_stars\/5star.png\"><div>December 12, 2016 by <b>gijjiu<\/b> from United States<\/div><p>The podcast is a delightful medley of travel, history, and Trules!

EoFire is a 7-day a week podcast (very rare, believe me!) &#8211; hosted by Kate&#8217;s partner and boyfriend, John Lee Dumas, who interviews some today&#8217;s most inspiring and successful entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3418\" src=\"http:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Magazine-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Magazine-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Magazine.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>O<\/p>\n<p>I first met Kate at Podcast Movement 17 in Anaheim, CA, on the first night of the convention \u2013 naturally, in the bar \u2013 but in a very surprising way. I\u2019ll let her tell you about it in the episode.<\/p>\n<p>Kate&#8217;s originally from San Diego, and she emanates all the sunshine and positivity of Southern California. Before jumping into podcasting, Kate spent several post-college years in marketing, advertising and the banking industry, but she decided that she didn&#8217;t need Corporate America to determine her self-worth. Instead, she decided to take all of her knowledge and experience and put it towards helping others recognize, create and build the businesses they&#8217;ve always dreamed of, but never thought possible. So now, Kate not only runs the back end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eofire.com\/\">Entrepreneur on Fire<\/a>, but she\u2019s also the host of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eofire.com\/audio-blog\/\">&#8220;Kate&#8217;s Take&#8221;<\/a>, the EoFire audio blog. She\u2019s also author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fire-Path-Beginners-Growing-Business-ebook\/dp\/B00Q07OBBG\">The Fire Path: A Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Growing Your Online Business<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kate\u00a0now lives in Humacao, Puerto Rico, where she is passionate about helping entrepreneurs create freedom in their businesses and lives &#8211; through developing systems and processes that can help their business scale and grow. I wasn&#8217;t exactly sure what that meant, but Kate explains it all in this episode&#8230;. along with talking about plans for a travel podcast of her own!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Please listen to Episode 29 by clicking the <a href=\"http:\/\/erictrules.com\/episode17\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ARROW<\/span><\/a> at the top of this post &#8211; right below &#8220;Listen Now&#8221;.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To catch up with all the episodes from Season 1, to listen to the entertaining last episode, <a href=\"http:\/\/erictrules.com\/episode28\">&#8220;Welcome Back to Deadwood, Part 2&#8221;<\/a>, or to hear all the episodes thus far from Season 2, please go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/erictrules.com\/podcast\">Library on my home page.\u00a0<\/a>There you can listen to all the musically-scored, sound-immersive travelogues, as well as to the rest the &#8220;Behind the Scenes&#8221; interviews with fellow travelers, podcasters, artists, and friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coming up in 2 weeks, &#8220;Me-hee-co&#8221;, Episode 30.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3420\" src=\"http:\/\/erictrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Mexico_Tourism-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"318\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What We Covered<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span>0:01<\/span> &#8211; Weekly Intro, Music by Amanda Yamate<br \/>\n<span>0:25<\/span> &#8211; Introduction of Kate Erickson<br \/>\n<span>1:11<\/span> &#8211; Trules welcomes listeners to the podcast<br \/>\n<span>1:50<\/span> \u2013 Trules on Kate&#8217;s central role in the &#8220;podcast movement&#8221;, and then on her background\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span>3:34<\/span> &#8211; Trules welcomes Kate, who talks about their first meeting &#8220;at the bar&#8221; at Podcast Movement 17.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span>5:50<\/span> &#8211; Kate talks about her 5 year journey with John Lee Dumas and their work at EoFire<br \/>\n<span>11:25<\/span> \u00a0&#8211; Kate talks about being a \u201cCalifornia Girl\u201d, then about the possibility of starting an E0Fire travel podcast, &#8220;audio walking tours of the world&#8217;s greatest cities&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span>16:27<\/span> &#8211; Trules talks about the personal, artistic,storytelling point of view of his own podcast<br \/>\n<span>18:52<\/span> &#8211; Kate on her move from California to Puerto Rico<br \/>\n<span>22:00<\/span> &#8211; Kate talks about the devastation of Hurricane Maria and being delayed in getting back to the island<br \/>\n<span>24:12<\/span> &#8211; Kate\u00a0takes the &#8220;Trules Travel Quiz&#8221;<br \/>\n<span>33:39<\/span> &#8211; Wrap up and Closing Credits, Outro music by Amanda Yamate<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Support the Podcast!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re still looking to complete\u00a0<strong>Funding<\/strong> for Season 2, and as I mentioned above, I\u2019ve just created a new way to support the podcast.
