57: What I Learned at Podfest 2023
01/31/23 • 8 min
Podcasting can get really lonely. But, when you’ve got a community to support each other and learn with, podcasting is a lot more fun. That’s what I just got from Podfest Expo last week!
Podfest brought together 1500 podcasters and people in the podcasting industry in Orlando, FL, for four days of networking, learning, and... partying! It was fabulous!
In this episode, I share:
- Some of the wonderful people I met (including several who have been guests on this show)
- 5 key takeaways you can use in your podcast right away
- Why you should go to Podfest next year
