- It's great to bring you Episode #101 with Gus Gonzalez, one-half of the dynamic duo behind the RUclips phenomenon, "Dive Talk".
Huge thanks to our podcast sponsor, XDEEP and episode sponsor, Seacraft along with the patrons of Speaking Sidemount for their support.
In this episode Gus and I discuss his journey from novice diver to prominent figure in the diving community through the RUclips Channel, "Dive Talk". We learn how Gus and Woody met, the evolution of Dive Talk, and the chemistry that makes their show unique. Gus shares insights into his diving experiences, the challenges of balancing a professional career with diving, and the importance of delivering value and the content his audience wants.
We discuss the challenges in delivering thoughtful reactions to incidents and respect for fellow divers. We explore dealing with criticism and haters, highlighting the significance of focusing on constructive feedback. We learn about the development of the Dive Talk Go rebreather with Mike Young, and the mission behind the Dive Talk Academy to ensure quality instruction in diving education. We continue discussing the success of the annual Dive Talk Meetup events, which have proved incredibly popular with over one hundred attendees. The conversation also touches on plans for diving events and opportunities for divers to connect and improve their skills.
Cheers
Steve
Thank you for the awesome feedback, including those who may not be fans of Dive Talk. Speaking Sidemount isn't solely about interviewing the elite. While I enjoy learning from the "luminaries," my podcast also focuses on conversations with sidemount and cave divers on their journeys, offering unique perspectives, or accomplishing something noteworthy. Gus and Woody have built a massive following with Dive Talk. Although I don't frequently watch their reaction videos, I fully recognize their target audience and respect the effort required to build such a following. I'd love to achieve even a portion of their success and prefer to celebrate their accomplishments rather than criticize them. Having met Gus, I can attest to his passion for diving and excellent sense of humour. He may joke about his diving skills, but he is a cave diver and has earned the respect of Mike Young. That's good enough for me :) BTW if you want; to catch the video version of this episode it is available on this channel. Cheers :)!!
Love you Dive talk from Saudi Arabia ❤
Awesome interview
Great interview! 🎉
Love Dive talk, cant wait for the video version to release
Thanks it's up now :)
Because of Gus and Woody I went from engineer to a CCR research diver looking to start my own business! Love them to death
this guy.... :(
sorry to say but these guys are the biggest scam of the dive industry... entertaining the lonely house wives with their clickbait content
The biggest? I knew we would make it to the top some day...now we need to continue to work hard to stay on top!
Who knew that the "Lonely house wives" market was so big... #Blessed
@@DIVETALKlove the sense of humor. This is why we watch!
'dynamic duo'... please... So overrated with their so called reactions and self proclaimed competence in diving.. jeeezz
Have you ever watched our show? :D
Definitely never claimed high competence...actually, you don't need to watch our show, I do it in this episode too. ;)
