Related to podcasting
- started my own podcast in 2017 as a decompression activity after leaving (not finishing) a PhD program

- LOVE doing live online events like these (above) Global Podcast Editors panels that I produced and hosted 2x a month in 2021-2023.
- am an avid podcast listener and will likely never reveal how many podcasts I'm following at any given time. But it’s a lot.
- have written about podcasting quite a bit over the years.
- am very passionate about building community globally. One of her first podcast communities was an online event that she created and managed for 2 years called Podcast Review Day.
My podcast origin story
When I started my first podcast back in 2017, I did so with a curious mind and a lot of experimentation. My passion and curiosity for podcasting grew and grew because I wanted to understand how to sound better, tell stories better and find the right audience for my projects. So I dove into the many resources available on podcast recording, editing, promotion and growth, connected with the podcasting community, and learned a lot. This all helped me rethink many aspects of my podcast and create more efficiently and intentionally. Little did I realize then that I was building my solopreneur podcasting business but that's how it started.
In Spring 2020 I started editing podcasts for clients and that's when the real magic happened. All of the knowledge, (mistakes), experience, and information I'd been learning were super helpful to my business podcasting clients.
