10/31/22 • 20 min

In this episode, I talk about: Youtube's new feature, they are exploring adding shoppable links. This is a big game changer for creators on the platform. I talk about why I'm so excited about this feature and some of the potential challenges. I also talk about the fact that more creators are popping up on LinkedIn. I mean this used to be the platform where we had to dress ourselves up and pretend like we were our professional selves 24/7. To see people that are creators on the side and fully employed talk about their passion on LinkedIn is exciting. I share three tips on how you can leverage LinkedIn. Lastly, I share my experience at the podcast conference Afros and Audio. it's a podcast conference for black podcasters. I talk about my first big panel and why I was insecure about it. I really appreciate all of you being with me as I explore what I want this podcast to look like.
