03/13/23 • 56 min

If you’re an influencer in the early stages of podcasting, tune in to keep your expectations in check, hear what's worked (& what hasn't) from those who have walked before you, and make the most of the opportunity ahead. Asha Christina (YouTube personality) speaks to her experience starting a podcast with an existing audience in the same niche on YouTube; Avery Warner (90 Day Fiance) shares what it was like starting a podcast outside of the "dating" niche for which she gained international attention; and Erin Dugan (producer) uncovers the expectations and realities of launching a podcast under major network PodcastOne alongside international celebrity Savannah Chrisley.
