Who am I?
I am the founder of EarBuds Podcast Collective, a podcast recommendation newsletter and podcast. I'm the head of community and content at SquadCast.fm. I help podcasters grow their shows via marketing and PR ideas. I love podcasts that challenge the way I've been seeing something for a long time. Shows that throw me off...in a good way. These shows do that from a business POV.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
It's always a good idea to listen to podcast trailers! Whether you're a creator yourself or you're looking to find a new favorite.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Business. Ideas. Growth. Change. Risk. And best of all...reward. These shows all challenge what it means to put something out into the world and have it come back to you...hopefully tenfold.
