Well… as we celebrated Episode 400… I asked for YOUR questions. And you hit us with a ton of questions… and MANY of them were about having YOUR OWN podcasts! So… I created THIS episode to answer your questions, to help you to find the opportunities and most specifically… to help you to GET STARTED!
Now… if you’re not sure about having a podcast… I’d still encourage you to check out this episode because I give a “State of the Union” on the podcasting world… and I share some data you can wow your friends with! But I also share about why NOW is a great time to jump in the wild and fun world of Podcasting! Seriously… come on it… the water (the blue ocean… specifically) is FINE!
