Looking to be a guest on more podcasts? 

Want to improve your guesting/hosting skills and be a better collaborator? 

This month, we're breaking down the numbers to help you become even BETTER and know how to spend your time, money, and energy for maximum possibility. 

Business is a balance of profit and soul and podcasting is a blend of art (heart) and science. Knowing the truth of the numbers can help you grow in confidence and become even better at your craft. 

In this episode, I walk through the time, energy, and financial investment from a guest and host standpoint as we focus on: 

  • How much time it takes to become an exceptional host and guest 
  • How much time it takes for solo episodes, guest episodes, pitching, guesting, prep, post-production, and more 
  • The energy in and out of podcasting and guesting
  • The cold hard cash: how much money can you make podcasting?
  • And more!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
