Learning a little something new everyday
Diving into the podcasting community for advice
Having conversations with people who have been in your shoes before
Defining what consistency means for you
Building your bookings through referrals (from your inner circle and your audience)
How to book high-profile guests
The importance of continuing your follow-ups (even if you don’t hear back right away)
Finding stories (and people) that excite you
Staying true to yourself when it comes to interviewing people (and making your show yours)
Her process for saying no to guests (and how to make it work for you)
Putting in the work vs. relying on your talent
And so much more!
