What is one of the best pieces of podcast-related advice you’ve ever received & why?
Never stop learning and creating content. Podcasting is a space that will keep evolving and growing. To make an impact, you have to be open to ongoing change and growth.
What is one of the worst pieces of podcast-related advice you’ve ever received & why?
People discouraging others around podcasts because “there’s so many out there.” You can always make a splash regardless of how small or large the competitive space.
What are some of your favorite women-hosted podcasts (besides your own)?
Can you tell us about a time when you took a huge risk/did something you were scared to do, and it totally paid off?
I first saw my husband when I was a freshman at Penn State University. I approached him and I was very nervous to hit on him, as I never did something like that before. 18 years later, we are together with our bold, beautiful, and brilliant son and this is proof that my decision to “shoot my shot” was the best decision of my life.
Are there any great podcast-related resources you love that you would like to share?
