Behind the Scenes: Why I Started a Podcast

This episode brings you a very in-the-moment behind the scenes of creating this very podcast! If you’re hoping to one day host your own podcast, I’m sharing what it took for me to get this out into the world and the steps I took to get the podcast launched. And even if you don’t aspire to have your own podcast, this episode will still give you insight into attacking a big goal and getting it off the ground.  

“I wanted to be in your ear in a really approachable way.”
